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.

In fairness, they did stop deleting content... but at the same time they stubbornly refuse to restore the content already deleted...

I'll never forget that sheer confounded rage I felt when I installed the game after a few years and suddenly didnt have any of the content I had paid for anymore. ~$120 at least was just fucking gone. They never even responded to my emails about it either. Garbage

Except seasonal content. I wouldn't care about the activities, but there is story stuff that directly continues story of one expansion and also leads into the next. Sometimes it is standalone, but also may or may not end up relevant later.

I was really into Destiny but once I got off that train it felt like I just can't jump back on.

I hate that they deleted stuff but I can understand arguments against the size. It’s at 130GB without all of that missing content.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

Then make it optional 🤷‍♂️

I can't. There are games that are even bigger than that. Red Dead 2, for instance.

Jedi Survivor.

Master Chief Collection.

Any other actually big game that's come out in the last ten years.

Edit: I actually found 25 of the Biggest Games By File Size

I'm seeing reports of Black Ops 6 being 300?

But seriously, 130GB isn't awful considering at the time most people had ALREADY downloaded it in smaller pieces.

Apparently it's not that big

I completely stopped playing when they sunsetted the equipment that made my somewhat unusual warlock build work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Sunsetting killed the game for me too, I wasn't able to replace ever piece of gear to keep my stat split correct and there were still entire element and weapon types missing entirely a year after it went into effect. I took a break, then a longer break, then never went back because I felt like I missed too much.

I heard they fully un-sunset everything they had sunset, but at this point I have zero desire to play the game anymore. This is after having played thousands of hours and having D2 as the only game I played for much of that time. As a 50/50 PVE and PVP player, the slow death of PVP and the removal of half the raids kills the game for me.

I had a rad cloak for my Hunter. They sunsetted it. Why was I even playing from then out.
