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.

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.

Hollywood culture is what's ruining the game industry.

They ruined their reputation for a lifetime in a single year, haven't they?

Only for the small percentage of people who follow news about gaming companies. Vast majority of people haven't heard anything negative, let alone do they give a shit. They might have ruined their reputation for you, personally; but they're going to do just fine. Nintendo has shown that it doesn't really matter what your company culture is or what practices you engage in; if you make fun games that are fun, people will buy them.

Of course, I agree that what matters is the quality of the games, but corporate policy will inevitably affect the quality of the games at some point.

I'm only getting it when it's out for Samsung Fridges and Disney+

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 18 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I'll wait for the TI-83 port.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I should play Skyrim

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Only took doom 7 years it's been 15 years and they still haven't released it smh my head.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm going to play it on my fitness wrist watch.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I'll wait until I can play it on a redstone computer.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

There’s probably already a way. It would just take 14 days per CPU cycle to run.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

This is like one of those parody commercials. "Coming soon for the Microsoft Xbox, the Sony Playstation, the Nintendo Switch, the App and Play store, the Nokia N-gage, the Samsung fridge, Netflix, Nintendo Famicom, your toaster, Kindle, as a shadow puppet theater, "

Unjustly massacred pioneering device

Sabotaged by the stupid placement of the microphone and earpiece… I still remember the taco phone memes of the day. Shame, it could have been great!

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 12 hours ago

There is an alternate universe out there where the N-gage was a smash hit, Nokia is reigning supreme in the handheld market and we're all rocking gull-wing phones.

I own RDR2 already and would sooner die than play multiplayer or pay for it again if you know what I mean. I honestly don’t have much interest in GTA6 unless it’s the gaming equivalent of a black swan event. Rockstar has little to offer me at this point and the will get no more of my money

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world -4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

PS5 still has no games. It's an anomonly. Even after 5 years and dozens of games, the console still has no games. Wow. Truly one for the history books. I can see why Sony is already talking about releasing the PS6.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Wow, I assumed it'd picked up by this point but according to Wikipedia the PS5 only has 18 exclusive games.

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Sony recently stated that it's halfway through its life cycle, if I'm not mistaken. 'PS5 no games' is just a meme at this point.
