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.

They're gonna kill this game aren't they.

Nah. Everyone wants tpm 2.0 Ask Microsoft

Game is generic enough, so it'll keep a playerbase.

There aren't exactly a wealth of games doing what Battlefield does outside of Battlefield itself.

Battlebit is fantastic. The only reason it hasn’t taken off is because of gamerbros that can’t handle anything besides realistic graphics

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

It did take off for a time, and now it looks like it's an early access game that hasn't had an update in 19 months. And I can tell you that if they don't let me host the server myself and play via LAN, they're not solving any problems for me over Battlefield.

I love Battlebit and its a fun time, but it already did take off, sold literally millions of copies (nearly 2 million in its first 2 weeks), and then was effectively abandoned by the developers.

[–] simple@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

The developers recently made a Steam post that they are coming back with a big update so... Here's hoping

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

I can handle the graphics, I just suck too much at the game

[–] warm@kbin.earth -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah well too bad that ship has sailed as well. Such a shame, BF2, BC2 and BF3 were quality games, just needed a modern take of one of those instead of whatever this is we got.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That hardly makes it generic though.

[–] warm@kbin.earth 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you've played any triple A shooters, you've played them all.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Very untrue, but okay.

I have a feeling they are
