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.

Video game adaptations are effective marketing. I'll say from experience, the Fallout show was the most effective commercial I'd ever seen. They probably hoped it would lead me to playing Fallout 76 like it did for so many other folks, but I played Fallout 2 instead.

You made the correct choice.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

It was the only mainline game I hadn't played at the time. I still haven't played Tactics, Shelter, or 76 and don't really intend to.

I enjoyed Tactics, but that was also when it was relatively new. It may be worth checking out still if you like squad-based strategy games.

Shelter was pretty fun, played it for a few months when it came out. Obviously if you're not a fan of the genre already it probably doesn't offer much for you.

Also featuring V from the hit Ninja Theory game DMC

Hehe, I remember getting it as a bonus with my 5700XT lol

Love the DMC games and in glad they're getting more love. I think Dante's Royal Guard is the best "parry" mechanic in all of gaming and I think parries should head in this direction

I also purchased the game a few weeks ago (May 19) on a very good deal on Steam: Devil May Cry 5 + Vergil - 4,49€ How can you not say yes to this? I just looked it up on my Recent Purchase history: https://store.steampowered.com/account/history

I absolutely HATED playing as V but despite that 5 was still my favorite in the series after 3.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago

I bought it a few weeks ago for 20 bucks
