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.

We can't know what's going to be the greatest of all time in the future, only what's the greatest of all time so far.

Does our knowledge of a thing preclude it from being? Is reality subjective or objective? If Bill Smithers of 34 Poplar Way in Schenectady, NY (sorry, Bill) said Ms. Pac-Man was the GOAT of video games make it true because he said it before his passing in 2011 after playing a 49 hour raiding session in World of Warcraft?

Very hot take but maybe Nintendo? I know, I know. They suck in some regards. But some of their games are still innovative.

more slop than innovative, its just the numbnuts keep buying the current pokemon slop games is whats keep switch justified in thier sloppy gaming development.

[–] Echo5@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Fun take but considering how they treat their fans I wouldn’t give them that award.

A game developer with a consistently high hit rate in their output? Kojima, maybe? FromSoft? We've seen a lot of empires fall in recent years.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I'd add Don't Nod, at least from what I've seen.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Really? They've been mostly misses from what I can tell. They don't review very well or sell many copies for most of their games. Recent reporting indicates that Tencent no longer wants to finance them, and their future is shaky.

Seriously? I'm only about halfway through the Life is Strange series, but it's been fantastic so far and Lost Records just came out last year and looks amazing. To each his own, but I hope they are able to crowdfund or some other alternative if Tencent drops them.
