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.

These guys have been on fire for their past few games, makes me very optimistic for this one.

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah so far Hazelight is only getting better and better

[–] Cris16228@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago

EA 😮‍💨

Looking good. So... does this mean Splitscreen ? Sure looks like it.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

Their other games can be played either split screen or online, so yes

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Their last two games were made as primarily coop games, this one seems to follow the trend.

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

This looks awesome. My wife and I enjoyed the hell out of It Takes Two.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Looks good and I like the premise, but I'm well past giving EA a cent for "looks good and nice premise". I'm never gonna touch that stove again, cold or not.

[–] Meltrax@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This isn't made by EA. These are the same people who made It Takes Two.

EA makes shit games themselves these days but their program for supporting smaller independent studios has resulted in some really great titles.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Is EA making money from this?

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Hazelight has put out great games. Really looking forward to this one.

[–] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml -2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't the EA eula let them add lootboxes, microtransactions and whatnot even after the game is released?

[–] tb_@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

The "EA Originals" that they have put out have mostly been fairly solid, Hazelight's games especially so.

Eternals of Aveum had its fair share of flaws, but it was a complete package.

Though, because it is EA, I cannot help but wonder if/when they'll pull the switcharoo

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Honestly, the switcheroo should be outright illegal. It's a complete betrayal of trust. It's theft of what was paid for to begin with.

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago

Never put it past EA to do so.
