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

I'm not interested in it, because it was written for a console, Sony, I think, and will be ported to PC by AI (you know it's true) which means we'll get the usual port drama, only worse.
Anyway, it's like GTA5, the only difference is one digit, big deal. It's like those footy games…
I think they already have a PC version ready. It's probably the "real" version they developed first. But they're going to release the PC version later in order to get some sweet money from Sony and Microsoft.
I haven't heard anything about them using Generative AI, or not as the case may be, so I think you're just going out of your way to find content to be annoyed by it.
Here's a thread to discuss at great length the thing I'm sick of seeing discussed.
Somehow I seem to have avoided a lot of talk on GTA 6. No doubt there are countless discussions online and youtube analysis videos etc, but unless you're actively searching for these I've found it pretty easy to avoid?
Am I just good at ignoring stuff? Where are people visiting that they're getting overwhelmed with GTA content?
I'm sick of it too but if you think the release will quieten the internet down I've got some bad news for you. Same thing happened with GTAV.
Too bad Epstein isn't here to control the narrative with Bannon and make a bunch of ostracized, angry gamers get angry at games journalists and go vote for Trump again ans somehow call GTA6 woke ~~ (though some grifters were trying somehow lol)
Still wild to me that that was actually a thing. I only recently learned Steve Bannon was the CEO of a WoW gold farming and RMT company before he got involved with the "news" and the Trump campaign.
(This video was a decent watch imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpHHSFF_CBY )
I'm just waiting so I can watch GrayStillPlays do wall rides while riding on an alligator with the chaos mod running.
Bold of you to assume that the hype isn't going to continue after launch.
Thanks for contributing to the exact thing you hate lol
I feel just like I'm back on Reddit.
It's reddit with blackjack and tankies, to paraphrase Bender
I'm not buying GTA6, and I wouldn't care if R* burned to the ground. They're union busting assholes, and all the money they'll harvest from GTA6 will simply tell them they can continue being union busting assholes.
I’m not buying GTA6, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
I’m more like I'm not buying GTA6 for more than 15€ after less than a year of patching, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.
just talk about Funzo instead
if you didn't want to talk about gta, why make a post talking about gta?
I've seen way way way more here on Lemmy bitching about GTA 6 than I have seen actually about it. The complaining about rockstar and GTA 6 is probably 80% of all the rockstar content I see here.
Seriously there has been maybe 3-4 posts about GTA 6 on this community in the last 2 months and every single one of them is full of people whining that they don't want to hear about it. It's so overblown.
GTA 6 is one of - if not the - highest budget games ever made. In one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time. It's the biggest release of the last few years whether they like it or not. Now... You're telling me we should stop talking about it in gaming communities because Lemmy users want to get back to talking about Linux and whatever 6/10 open source game is doing the rounds?
Sorry for the harshness but these posts and comments are so annoying. If you don't want to talk about AAA games then why are you in the gaming community?
P.S. I've seen posts talking about GTA or any major company (PlayStation, Nintendo, Bethesda, etc) just get huge amounts of downvotes on this platform because "we're tired of hearing about it". Why do people do this??? Just move on to the next post.
I wouldn't be as annoyed by hearing about it if Rockstar were an upstanding company. The union busting though means they should not be given any good PR at minimum, and ideally none.
I don't care if people want to discuss big games. We shouldn't accept positive discussion of games that are made by companies who treat their employees poorly. That should be a bare minimum rule people on this platform hold to. I don't care how excited you are for the game. You don't get to promote it.
Well then you might as well ban almost every single gaming company from this community. Should this just be a CDPR, Blizzard, and Bethesda forum?
And posting genuine news about what is going to be one of the biggest gaming events of our lifetimes just gets downvoted here. Come on, people; it's clearly relevant. You don't have to upvote it, but then when people downvote anything they personally dislike, you end up with people who only get their gaming news here saying, "I've never heard of [one of the biggest games of the year]."
Also sick of hearing about it. Not because I want to play it, but because I don't care about it, at all.
Congratulations, you added to that kind of noise. For no reason, too.
I need to adjust my filter more
Thanks
Live and let die I guess. This is an interesting case of what people's bubbles look like. I saw the thing on Netflix, don't think much of it, but I'm not in spaces where people think about this enough to put it in my face. Sorry that's not the case for you, I'm sure it's annoying, but I haven't seen it much, or I scroll past it I guess.
Fuck that where is GTA7? Can I play it when I’m dead?
Interestingly this post of yours is the first I've heard of GTA6 in weeks.
edit: In 10 days seem more correct.
Same. This post gives guerrilla marketing vibes.
I heard GTA6 broke its containment and tried to burn down a rival studio, but there was no-one there anyway due to mass layoffs.
I’m so tired of this thing that I’m gonna talk about it more.
Yeah, unless it's a FitGirl release, I don't really give a shit.
Use one of the Lemmy apps that filter keywords or even an RSS reader. You can solve your own problem here...
Easy enough not to read something if it bothers you. Personally not all that excited by GTA6 yet until it releases on PC anyway.
