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.

Skate players were explicitly told map areas would not be "locked behind a paywall"

EA lies more than Trump. News at 11.

I don't buy anything from EA, but I'm curious: Is it difficult to acquire their games via the high seas?

Unrelated, but when did all Magazines start faking youtube thumbnails as the meta image..? I bet times are desperate, but I mean at what point do you understand that it's all the deceit and desperation that drives literally everyone away to the media they imitate?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

In this one case EA is to blame, but I do know what you mean. I think it's just that YouTube videos have had a large impact on the form media takes, and that's trickled out towards other forms.

I think of this practice as a tax on herds.

You want to belong in a trendy group, you board the hype train and pay the tax to belong in the herd.

i remember pointing out that this would happen in a couple places and ppl said i was just being negative. like a live service skate game is a dead in the water idea but ppl were so starved for skate content they just didn't listen to sense. look where they are now

What's Andrew Rousso doing in the image? Seems completely unrelated to the content of the article.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I was wondering the same thing...

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Does anyone remember how Skate 2 was the best one and they won't release it again? I suspect it is because of the music.

Is the game not ass anymore at least? I'd rather play the OG THPS without any qol additions added by the good remake than this game after I had tried it.

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I tried it and it’s shitty compared to skate3. SkaterXL is a better option and has better controls but a lot less content.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

But SkaterXL has mods. Soooooo many mods.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I came here to say "the good news is this game sucks anyway." Coming from someone with literally hundreds of hours in the first three games.

Now I just play Session.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's really disappointing. I have already completed all of the major challenges in this game and it was really great. I'm pretty disappointed to hear this is the direction they've went off to since I last checked in. I would say that if you miss playing the old skate games you can either get an Xbox series X and play them on backwards compatibility mode. Or you can give this a shot because at least it's pretty fun for quite a while without any spend.

Fucking lol.. This is the Metaverse with extra steps.

EA is for gaming like popcorn is for haute cuisine.

Wait, I made a mistake. There is good popcorn.
