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.

Never even heard of them. For a start we want no always online bullshit, no battle passes or micro transactions. No stupid launchers either.

I keep finding all these cool games and instantly get deflated when I find out they're online. I want single player, i really don't like playing with other people.

I remember being a kid playing Morrowind and really wishing my friends could play with me.

Now I'm an adult and I don't want to play with the kids. They have way more time to play and take my ass to the cleaners. After the umpteenth time getting tea bagged while some 13 year old goes on about fucking my mother, his voice breaking repeatedly throughout, I swore off multiplayer.

I don't know of you know this or care anymore but there is a pretty solid morrowind multiplayer mod out now

[–] Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

And VR mod too.

There's a jump between your first paragraph and the second. In the first one you said you wanted to play with your friends. But in the second you got the worst of Internet boys.

I also wanted to play Morrowind with my friends. We got Elder Scrolls Online but that's a monkey's paw wish. I wanted drop in multiplayer and an experience more like left 4 dead. I don't want randoms. I want my friends. I don't want a big always online persistent world. I want the single player world, but with my friends.

If I keep going I'm just going to reinvent Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer. That's basically what I wanted back when. Not the MMO shit.

Hell, even the dark souls "summon a friend in" is like 70% of what I wanted.

I feel you, I mostly skip the online parts unless they are private games with a few people I know.
