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.

Got rid of my Xbox and PS5 as I was sick of having to pay out for subs (PSN/XBL) so I'll gladly take any of the PS5 games that Sony offer on PC, even if we have to wait a while.

Good to see the Sony exclusives still coming.

[–] kadu@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

There's no way Sony is giving up on PC ports now.

They invest into developing a game and get all the sales within their own game store, plus the exclusivity boosts the sales of the console itself and next titles in the franchise. Then, after all this effort and cost is long gone, they get to invest minimal effort to sell and hype the same game all over again to another audience and, again, try to hook these players into the franchise perhaps even selling a console to them. There are no downsides, only extra money.

Finally the patience has held off. No need for a console when you have a PC

Recently finished zero dawn on PC and really enjoyed it. Hopefully this lives up to it's predecessor!

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Played on PS5 and I enjoyed Forbidden West more than the first one.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I feel like the gameplay and traversal was a lot more fun, but the story in the first one is way way better.

Took their sweet time

6 October 2023 for PS5

Hopefully all the content is on the disc!

Another reason not to buy a PS5! Yay PC.

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oh my god does that mean we can finally stop seeing the “What the point of buying an Xbox if I have a PC” comments everywhere ?

So you don't have to reinstall windows to get your install fo halo infinite to work properly (true story)

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It hopefully won't have built-in spyware like the predecessor.

On PC, HZD is a privacy nightmare with no option to turn off data collection - you either comply to full data collection, or "limited", whatever that means.

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh it's finally being completed? Then what happened to it being released 6 years ago? What was that? The BETA? I thought it was a full game?

[–] calculuschild@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

This game came out in 2022.
