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.

They took so long to start that all the hype is gone. I've got anti-hype, I fully expect to be disappointed. It's going to suck.

Pretty sure the only reason they're doing it is as a token move for some court order or something. I'm really not interested either. No hype for me thanks. I'd rather have an actual game then the nebulous promise of a game that's going to be disappointing.

Starfield was their last shot for me. They fumbled that.

Genuinely, like, I know where the money went obviously, but what about the shear amount of time they’ve had to make anything, like what the hell was actually happening in that studio honestly

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

that just means itll surpass expectations of sucking, instead of disappointing hype for not being perfect

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

But if it surpasses expectations does that mean it gets a raise for doing a good job??!

No. It just gets additional responsibilities with no pay raise.

Just wait until the official reveal and you'll be back onboard that hype train in seconds.
