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.

7th Gen was best gen... The games have aged kinda mostly gracefully, resolutions have increased from previous potato generations, zero microtransactions, games were mostly complete on release, day 0 patches were rare...

I've got one of these and and old PS3 with HEN running, and cross platform titles are always better on the 360, the PS3 only exists for exclusives

That is why I also want PS3. XBOX 360 is a classic and a great example of what console should be. But certain PS3 exclusives make it worth to get sony's console. GOW series, Kingdom Hearts series, MotorStorm, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, The Last of Us (I know it got out to PC and newer consoles, but back then it was locked in) and some I cant recall right now but know they are there - bunch of great games I would love to play too.

Feels that in order to have peace, I need to get the infinity ~~stones~~ consoles. I badly want PS2 but afaik PS3 has backwards compitability with PS2 and PS1 so that covers my needs. Wii - it just is an epic console with completely different taste to it.

Only certain models of the PS3 are backwards compatible, so watch out. You wanna get CECH-A,B,C,E for that, as far as i recall. Aka one of the fat ones.

Thanks! This was not so difficult. There are so many options on programmers and I am lucky as hell for getting Trinity - the most easiest one to hack with RGH3. The hacking/homebrew community is so huge with this console!
