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.

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.

This is my very first YouTube video! 😊

I can't wait for the Pro! But many ask, What's the point? I try to answer this question and discuss how it will benefit the entire gaming industry even if most people don't buy one.

Why in the world does this have so many downvotes? Lemmy voters can be so hostile to content, and then commenters seem cool. I don't understand it at all.

Congrats on your first video! It's well shot. I want the PS5 pro to drop so I can talk me brother into getting it and giving me his PS5.

I think it's vehement disagreement with the premise, or in other words "We don't need a PS5 Pro".

One explanation for the sentiment is that people have already invested a significant chunk of their limited savings into the mammoth PS5 - and want that to provide them some of the best games on offer. They're worried that after a Pro, they will become second citizen or get downscaled games.

Even if you provide an answer like "But that won't happen"...they don't trust that answer. Trust is not common in consumer sentiment right now.

Incoming: Games that look just as good as launch PS4, but with far, far less time spent on optimization.

A few, but you're going to see a flood of UE5 games soon

You can’t even compare late, pre-PS5, PS4 games and the launch PS4 games.

They should make one, but it’s twice as big and emits an ominous tritone drone even while on standby.

I'll buy one if it's "jailbroken" i.e. built like it's a thing you own not a subscription service. Everyone I know who owns the 5 like I do use it for exclusives. Bloodborne is the biggest selling point for me so ffs just unlock the fps already it's been 9 years.
