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.

Nintendo somehow keeps finding a way to make this worse

Don't worry. Super fans will still defend it. They've been using the "but but but but" strategy lately

I'm a big fan but I'm not stupid. This is some horseshit.

I have both DLCs and I didn't expect this garbage. Really bad stuff.

I have both DLCs

So then you still get to play them. The only people this affects are new buyers, which... scans internet will be approximately nobody, given the raging hate-boners on display. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But if I buy the upgrade pack, what will happen to the DLCs when I play on the Switch 2?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then you'll play the DLC with the updated graphics etc. There's nothing mystical about the upgrade pack - it's just engine optimizations to let the game run natively on new hardware, probably some revamped textures, etc. The base game has been DLC-aware since the DLC was released. Having the DLC doesn't change the game code, it just makes the extra content accessible.

Okay, so then it's just like normal? This is no news at all? It's the same as buying the game on the original Switch? Because the DLCs weren't included with that version either. 🤷‍♂️ How uninteresting of a post.
