Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
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.

Remember boys, never buy a game based on promises of future features for you never know if they will come true.
It’s an early access game. If you buy it now you are buying promises and the chance to be a beta tester. And that’s okay, if you don’t get emotional if things don’t turn out as expected.
I'd say if you're buying it now, you should be doing so based on what it is as though it never gets another patch, because sometimes they don't.
And sometimes, a game gets a patch that actually makes it worse
Cubeworld.
A lesson I learned from Double Fine.
"Game studio apologizes for misunderstanding a widely understood aspect of what their customers want."
I keep seeing this headline. It's...weird.
This is what happens when the people who make decisions are not the people impacted by those decisions.
Game studios are largely tone deaf.
People like to pause their games... Who knew?
Not just pausing; it's poor value for the customer to not have an offline mode for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is longevity, because their servers won't be there forever.
never know when your internet just decides to go down for an hour. happened to me 2 nights ago and i didnt even notice until i tried looking at the dlc store (i was playing rock band 4)
Or when EA will just break their service for a week, so you can't log in or play any of their online games.
Enshrouded is the same. Made for multiplayer, but most play single player.
And it's kind of bullshit that there's no real balancing for singleplayers.
Each enemy takes a pretty big chunk of your health bar, and you can only attack so fast. They can and will attack faster than you, and sometimes even just stunlock you over and over until you just die and have to respawn. I want to enjoy the game, but I feel like I'm actively fighting against the ~~brain~~ grain when I play it.
There were people spamming the devs with requests to make the game harder and saying it's too easy.
I voted for every response that said any additional difficulty changes should be optional, like how palworld/valheim have configurable difficulty.
The fact that there are no world settings yet is kinda wild to me. There should absolutely be tweakable world settings in open world survival games
Reads like my personal Monster Hunter World Iceborne experience (eff you, Rajang)
Rajang was legitimately scary in MHW.
No mods?
There are only reshades on the nexus so far.
Trust me, I looked lol.
Enshrouded has no plans for mods from what I've heard so far. Which basically killed the game for me. Not going to bother with it because there are some mechanics that would irritate me too much to enjoy the game. Mods would've fixed it.
Get the blink upgrade that lets you break stun, huge help for the stun locking.
I play multiplayer so I can't comment much on that ... but remember this game is in early access. Like it just launched its early access last month. It's not a complete game or even a 1.0 game.
TIL about gaslamp fantasy.
Oh I thought you were referring to the developers pretending they didn't know this would annoy customers.
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I love learning about sub genres
