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.

Another entry in the long running “-fall” series of games.

(For real, it’s weird how so many game have “fall” in their name if you start paying attention to it. Everything be fallin’.)

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

-fall seems to have taken over from -craft

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, when you think about it, it makes sense. It's a versatile and cool sounding word format or whatever you call it. You can use it for literal stuff, such as Titanfall, where robots fall from the sky or comets or whatever. But also in a collapse kind of thing, like here. And fallen civilizations and apocalypses are a popular themes, so..

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (4 children)

A few years ago I think I'd agree, but I feel like at this point it's a super lazy naming scheme, to be honest.

Don't have a good name? Just slap "-fall" on the end of some noun.

Not to be confused with the german -fall game No Unfall.

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago

Not to be confused with the Soulsborne edutainment game Nounfall.

[–] astrsk@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

Good genre name tbh.

Redfall was trash, checks out

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago
[–] Eggyhead@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

It almost sounds like “Autumn Fall”

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

Kind of like -ly and -hub in domain names, or -kit in software libraries? :)

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Game looks cool. I just hate promo videos where they have someone from the company explain it. Just give me a trailer or straight video, I don't need someone selling it to me in the most corporate HR way possible.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

It needs a first slide where they explain how the play and pause button works and what an index is.

Sometimes I feel that these videos are for some unfrozen cavemen that are trying to fit our modern world of corporate wonders.

[–] ytsedude@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Looks like a British Fallout. Cool!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago

This is what fallout would look like if it was in a modern game engine.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago

I mean, there's already a British Fallout mod that's maybe even better-ish than the last two entries.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It’s like stalker and fallout had a British baby. I’m intrigued
