1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

You fell in love with a game and it's characters, sunk hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours into it. It became a comforting, immensely satisfying part of your daily life. Then you heard a sequel was coming and got really hyped but when it came out it was utter rubbish...

Which game(s) was that for you?

Sacred 3. It was a soulless cash grab that had nothing to do with the previous game, which is one of my absolute favourite ARPG's.

Interestingly, I would say Sacred 2 as a huge fan of Sacred 1.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Totally fair. I would say each game in the Elder Scrolls series let me down more than the last, even though I still enjoyed each one, so I can how being a fan of the first would be such a letdown for the second.

Interesting. What's your favorite Elder Scrolls? Daggerfall was my first but Morrowind is my favorite.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, its gotta be Oblivion. Its really close between it and Morrowind, but I strongly disliked the way you have to get information in Morrowind for the story. I dont mind the reading at all, it's the fact that you have to ask every n'wah about every detail to get any info that, while realistic, I ultimately just found to be too tedious.

With you saying "each game let me down more than the last" I didn't expect you to say your favorite was the second most recent game.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Haha, yeah. I dont think its the best, that opinion lay with Daggerfall. But rose tinted glasses dont care about that, just what you remember feeling when you played it through the first time.
