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.

I'm surprised there's no source code available. You think that would be a no brainer move after the original servers shut down. πŸ˜…

Its ubisoft my guy, these days its an achievement for them to do something that isnt a disappointment .

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ubisoft didn't do this. It's a community project.

I think he means that Ubisoft might try to sue the project

You don’t think they’re going to anyway?

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Honestly that's a valid assumption, but I still have some faint of naivity that they won't whilst the code is closed source and the devs don't plan to include donation pages

Shit sorry should have clarified, i meant that ubisoft would never release the source code. I would not be surprised if pierre cochon, world famous ubisoft dev #3352 got shot at gunpoint for even suggesting that

This is awesome to hear! I may spin it up this weekend just to check it out.

I loved to play that game years ago.

Same, picked it up on a whim a few months before the shutdown, couldn't put it down. They got the tone perfectly, and the map is really good, and their progression system actually requires you to play the game. It felt magical, like a NFS World sequel of my dreams, the only downside was trying to set up steering properly.
Then i tried the crew 2, and haven't tried it since, just doesn't feel as good.
