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've literally experienced none of what you're saying. Sounds like you need to stop interacting with certain places.

There are even people in here saying the game wasn't for them but they're not being miserable about it.

This is my experience so far. I don't consider myself a bad gamer, but games like this with fairly intentional difficulty spikes turn some people off. I go both ways on it. The gargoyles in dark souls were a road block, but I was happy to beat my head into that wall until it broke. Kinda the same with the three guys guarding the wall kick in Hollow Knight. But if it's like a switch or a dumb ring that's necessary to get past an area,I don't like it all that much(which I think is why so many people didn't like the demon ruins, and it being a rushed area).

I got hollow Knight like a year or two ago and come back to it occasionally every few weeks or so. I find it fun and enjoyable enough. I can see the love and intention in every area, and can respect that. But it's not in my to ten favorites. And not to harsh anyone else's mellow. If you love it that's great. I don't want to take that away from you. I will likely be a day one buyer of silk song just to show support for this kind pricing and fan service. But let people enjoy what they want.

I've literally experienced none of what you're saying.

The comment I responded to is literally part of this. Are you fucking blind?

Not my fault you seem to selectively turn a blind eye to assholery. But you're not my problem anymore; let the door hit you on the way out
