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

No particular order:

Vampires: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Star Wars Galaxies (pre-cu)

Ultima Online

Disco Elysium

Gizmos and Gadgets

Ultima, SWG, and Gizmos and Gadgets were more about the memories of playing them with friends/family.

SWG still has some unique mechanics that I still view as the high tide of major publishers willing to take risks on complexity. Game was probably too ambitious for its own good.

Vampires had a high level of jank even years after release, but boy did they nail the ambiance/music/open approach to quests for the time. Shame about the sequel.

No particular order, but definitely games I'd love to play again with no memory of playing them:

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Dark Souls 3 Hollow Knight Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon

KoTOR 1/2 basically introduced me to RPGs and the EU all at once. I’ve probably read over fifty EU novels at this point thanks to Drew Karpyshyn introducing me to it all.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, expanded universe. I was wondering what the European Union had to do with KOTOR...

Context clues 🔎

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago
  • Final Fantasy X
  • Starcraft II
  • Battlefield 2
  • Mount & Blade: Warband
  • Factorio

I could be more objective if it was like top 20 or something.

[–] stevles@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Death Stranding 1 & 2

Derail Valley

Train Sim World

No Mans Sky

I might be getting old, but games that live in that happy place between chill and adventure really speak to me these days.

Edit: My line breaks disappeared. Did this suddenly become Reddit?

Mass Effect 2 Baldurs Gate 3 Civilization Deus Ex Witcher 3

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Which Civilization? Mine is probably the fifth entry. BTW I did an opinion poll if you still interested into voting: https://lemmy.ml/post/52442488 Funny enough Civ7 is the only game without any votes whatsoever, and everyone has two picks.

Civ 5 Complete was a thing of beauty
