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.

Which games blow your mind, but only if you know nothing about them in advance?

Best examples I can think of are:

  • Outer Wilds
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • The Stanley Parable

What are yours?

Undertale, but at this point you'd have to have lived in a cave for the last decade to not know most of the spoilers by now.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 36 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well, apparently I have!
The only thing I've heard about Undertale so far is that it is supposed to be good.

[–] ZeroTwo@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago (3 children)

That's all Ive heard too. I tried playing it but the combat was weird. Kinda boring to me so I never advanced further.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Same. Fehlt like a very early game experiment.

[–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It gets good by the end but yeah if you don't mesh with it early on it can be hard to get into and want to finish it.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah that happened to me. Never finished it and wonder why it's so loved.

[–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I almost had that happen with me but I think I ended up watching someone play it. Still kind of regret it but at the same time probably wouldn't have finished it on my own otherwise and I atleast have Deltarune to look forward to now.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I didn't really get it. I did play Everhood though and that was much better.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It's good in a way that isn't really expected - the only thing I can say without spoiling is it did something really different with things that had been there a long time.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 22 points 6 months ago

Undertale is such a bolt of lightning. It both depends on its player having experience with traditional JRPG and having no fucking clue what it is. But when the conditions line up, as it did for many people at release, it was such a master fully crafted experience. But even the slightest amount of "it's good because..." really siphons part of the experience away.

[–] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Tbh, I played it for a few hours, didn't like it and don't understand all the fuss about it. Does it get good later?

I was at a point, where I was going through a cave with a castle in the background (it was a few years ago), it was probably some kind of riddle, but I couldn't be bothered.
Is it worth going forward or did I see enough to just say "it's not my kind of game"?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I'm gonna be the heretic here, it's actually really terrible. If you don't like Homestuck and that brand of humor, you won't like Undertale.

[–] korny 6 points 6 months ago

Spoiler: There are high jinks, low jinks, dangers, puzzles, capers, japers, being captured, and other sorts of fun activities in this game.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have heard the name but don't know what it's about, I'll look into it. Thanks !

[–] Kelly@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'll look into it.

No, don't!

Or at least don't do anymore than choose your preferred platform and then buy it. Its available on Windows, Linux, Mac, PS, Xbox and Switch but not on Android or iOS.

Its a couple of bucks on steam at the moment, included in PSN if you do that, or full price everywhere else.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

hop just got it. Thanks for the recommendation. Let's see what this is all about 😁

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 6 months ago

Guess I live in a cave then. I have even had the game on steam for ages now. The graphics are just too much of a turn off for me to ever play it.
