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 am just curious about people’s taste here, since this community looks sane compared to other “loony-toons” gaming subs or forums online.

You don’t need to explain yourself just name them.

Thanks

In terms of hours played

Elden ring

Pokemon emerald

Skyrim

Witcher 3

Mortal Kombat X

In terms of replay value

Tekken 8/Mortal Kombat X (fighting games have basically infinite replay value if there are people online or in person you can play with)

Dark Souls 2 (best Souls game with the best NG+ system)

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (best MH game, GU is a close second for me)

World of Warcraft (an addiction rather than a game)

In terms of "best game"

Elden Ring/DS2

Baldur's Gate 3

Witcher 3 (after QOL updates)

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Mother 3

Honorable mentions: Chrono Trigger, Civilization V, Age of Empires IV, Fallout New Vegas, Final Fantasy VI (GBA), the other 2 Witcher games, Zelda from OOC to Twilight Princess (truly a golden age for Nintendo), Dark Souls 1, Super Metroid, Borderlands 2 (did not age well, but I have good memories of the multiplayer experience)___
