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.

Steam Next Fest is currently ongoing - which demos did you like/dislike? (store.steampowered.com)

Steam Next Fest, which is a regular event for showcasing upcoming games, is happening now on steam and will continue until February 12 at 10:00 AM PST (UTC-8).

With hundreds of demos available, even if you're only interested in a fraction of the games it's going to be difficult to try everything before the event ends. With that in mind, I'm hoping people can use this thread to share their thoughts on the titles they've played.

Which games did you enjoy, and which do you think suck? Please share your thoughts!

I was so fucking hyped for Homeworld 3.

I still am but I think I just discovered I'm no longer a day 1 gamer for anything.
50% off is the bare minimum now, holy shit that sticker shock is real.

I was just reading an article about Homeworld 3 and it sounds like I was mistaken about the online/skirmish thing. It sounds like it's some sort of PvE coop mode or something. Still not my cup of tea. Still excited for the single player campaign.

I'm with you on the patient gaming. With few exceptions, purchasing the new hotness on day 1 means paying more for a worse experience. By the time a game goes on sale, the major bugs and balance issues will have all been fixed (if they'll get fixed at all), so what's the rush? Most gamers these days, myself included, have big enough backlogs that we'll never be in the position of not having something fun available to play anyway.

I feel slightly obligated to buy it day one.

You can play it by yourself! It's 3 missions in a row that are slightly different each time. You can play it coop or singleplayer.

That wasn't clear to me either, I will try it again.
