Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

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

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

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.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Larian

Fromsoft

Nintendo

Those are probably the only developers in the AAA world that are not selling money printing skinner boxes but the games are still fun.

Indie devs don’t have money to advertise on that shitty show.

I guess that depends on where your cutoff is for AAA, but if you're including FromSoft, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II just came out this year at a similar level of budget and production value. And I know people have their issues with Unreal, but it really has raised the bar for what a "AA" might be capable of. The likes of Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, The Alters, Split Fiction, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this year (and games like The Thaumaturge last year) are all what we would have expected out of a AAA game in the not-too-distant past, most of which comes down to scope, where a lot of AAAs are arguably doing too much.

I haven’t played any of those yet but isn’t the subject what we’re looking forward to seeing at the Game Awards? I’m not sure if those studios are rumored to be announcing anything on the show.

I’m gonna have to toss a going between Expedition 33 and KCD2. They both seem like my type of game

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Well, you said those were the only AAA devs that weren't making money printing skinner boxes, and we had plenty of counter examples just this year. Obsidian put out 2 or 3 games this year, depending on how you count, and it wouldn't be crazy for them to have an announcement for a game coming next year.

Absolutely give those two games a try; they're high on the TGA's lists for a reason.

I think award shows are head-ass narcissist nonsense.

So, none of it.

Whether they allow the warframe community to make a mockery of the concept of chat again.

!Grakata

I may or may not be looking forward to continuing that tradition.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Watching Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sweep every category it's in. That game is absolute cinema

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I'd love to see something on the Lies of P Sequel

Give me some WOODKID performing songs from Death Stranding 2.

I need a good cry.

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am really hoping to see FF7R Part 3 reveal.

I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I love that series so far.

Please... It's time to let them go. Square has been on life support for the past 25 years. Just.... You have to let them go. I'm sorry. I loved them, too.
