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.

I liked Duke Nukem Forever, I kept waiting for it to get awful and it never did! Surprisingly fun game.

Depends on how long you waited for it and what expectations you had. "They demonstrated the first Duke Nukem Forever trailer at the E3 convention in May 1998"... and reading in Wikipedia to look this up, I just by accident saw there was/is a Doctor Who themed DLC! Wow I think I need to get into it again (never finished it however).

I followed it's development a tiny bit, I knew it was in development hell, that things kept getting redone, and then some other company stepped in and actually finished and shipped it. I was expecting it to be bad. The worst thing I have to say for it is it's a console port. It was fun, it was whacky, it had decent combat although I'm not a fan of the halo style hide to recharge your health.

For fellow whovians, not Doctor Who, rather Doctor Proton, aka the Doctor Who Cloned Me.

I got excited and thought that’s a weird crossover. Turns out, I’m just simple.

soulmate. I liked it as well. Of course it wasn't groundbreaking, like Duke3D was, but it was fun. And it made fun of itself - I like that trait.
