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.

What’s the one game you guys are def buying?

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm finally going to buy Titanfall 2

[–] VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Do you know if the DLC is needed to find matches? Do people even use them? Or is it all cosmetic? I too am thinking to come aboard.

[–] Radicaldog@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The multiplayer is full of ultra skilled people who have played for years, so a steep curve. Best FPS campaign ever though, so I recommend it for that.

[–] VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have found that some games like this, sometimes I do really well if only because there is such an established way to do things well that my flailing about catches people off guard. Sometimes not following meta is a shock to expectations. I'll win by sheer incompetence.

All dlcs are cosmetics, some give alternative models to the titans, so they don't give any advantage, also you dont need any of them.

If you join, good luck to you Pilot, may you soar high in your journey (be careful about Viper tho)

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No idea, but I heard great things about the campaign

[–] b_crussin@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

One of the best campaigns I’ve played in a while, if a little short

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sounds like I'll get my $5 worth

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I think Grim Dawn. Seems like it would be a nice medium between a spastic first person shooter and the slower pace of Divinity Original Sin.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It's great. And it's got a new expansion coming up in the new year. So now is the perfect time to grab it.

[–] rolofox@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've also been considering grim dawn for a while now. Last game I played like that was titan quest way back then.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Personally I prefer Last Epoch. Each ability you equip has its own upgrade tree that lets you customize how it behaves.

[–] MellowSnow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Grim Dawn is so good. If you have any interest, just go for it. I don't even play many games like that, and I've put tonsss of hours into it now. Super underrated soundtrack too, imo.

I ran across The Longing just yesterday. Looks unusual, fun, and chill. Seems like a good one to mess with over the holidays.
