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.

This game really shows how it COULD be. Totally fail with epic bad reviews. No giving up, putting year after year of free updates and content until the initial vision was approximated and reviews went to very positive.

I dunno if I could name another game that managed that in the last 3 decades.

Issue with that is I pre-order the game before release based on false information. Gave up playing after 6 months because it sucked. When they finally got it to what they initially promised. It became almost unplayable by the amount of grinding that had to be done to even earn enough to by a freighter. Again gave up playing. So now sits on my shelf part of my collection.

Oh almost forgot when they updated they corrupted my save file so I lost all the progress I made in that 6 months. So that pissed me off as well.

Freighters aren't difficult to get now...

Tap for spoilerThey just straight up give you a freighter after 3 hyper jumps IIRC

And when you say now, it's been that way since about a year after the game was released.
