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.

Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.

So! What are you playing this week?

I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)

Also still haven't beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first

E33 turned out to be really long game and I wanted to finish it asap to see what happens. That resulted in a few days or so of a marathon that has physically and mentally exhausted me

Bro. You can't do that. No one can handle that much feels in such a short span.

OP: WITNESS ME!

I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.

I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well

Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again

Have you played A Plague Tale? It's much shorter but also pretty emotional.

[–] Emmie@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I have a serious deficiencies in emotional games played considering I only acquired such taste playing Honkai star rail penacony a year ago. Or rather arcane s1 tv series before.

Gladly taking the recommendation and open to any other

[–] Tingle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The most emotional game I played was To the Moon. It's kind of like a jrpg walking simulator with some puzzles and light gameplay in it but a fantastic story.

The developer has made quite a few games in the series now but none hit quite as hard as the first in my opinion.

[–] PlantJam@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I highly recommend going in blind. Innocence is first, followed by Requiem. Innocence has been free on epic a few times so you might already own it.
