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 sorry but perfect dark will always just be “that game that got made cause Rare couldn’t make a sequel to goldeneye” it was a good game but didn’t age super well and the character and world just seems a bit cheese for 2025

Dude, after goldeneye it hit the spot hard. Loved perfect dark.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, Perfect Dark was awesome!

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Good game, and I liked the revolutionary bots you could add to multiplayer to beef up a death match. I like the game but the characters and story never did anything for me

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 19 points 3 weeks ago

I completely disagree. Perfect Dark holds up extremely well. I still play it occasionally. Of course the framerate is atrocious at times.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

Lol it's not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don't have the same appreciation for it, and that's okay.

And yeah, it's so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

But much like the movie Evolution, I don't love it because it's groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It's fun for me.

It's cheesy because they hid cheese 🧀 in the levels

You bring up i played goldeneye first and that’s true, it’s why I wanted a sequel. It’s also why I will always pick Wcw vs Nwo : revenge, over wwf no mercy, it has a better nostalgia factor for me
