!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

That's it. Patient gamers usually get the complete, most polished experience of a game for the lowest price.

This is true, at the cost of having to avoid almost all game related discussions until they buy the game or severely risk having the game plot be spoiled.

I don't know about that, I still don't know what the plot to this game is for instance. Beyond the trailers of course.

yea, that's never been an issue for me, and I rarely play new games

if knowing the plot beforehand ruins the plot, then it wasn't a good plot. This applies to movies, books, games, everything.

What avoid? You have to actively look that up, which you don't usually do if not for deciding if you want to buy the game.

True, depending how relevant that is for you. I usually don't care, except for few games like the Final Fantasy VII remake series.
