!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

LPT: Every game you've never played before is a new game, to you, no matter when it was actually released.

Are you telling me, instead of new games I'll never play, I should buy old games I'll never play?

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

its way cheaper too!

No, the reason I started playing my backlog is because I ran out of money to buy new games.

I just stopped playing games 6 months ago.

I played through Metroid Dread finally about a month ago. Had it since it launched. When my wife was a kid, their rule was that they had to beat the game before you could get a new one. I rarely beat games as a kid so that seemed harsh to me.

Right now, I'm playing rdr2 and New Vegas, both purchased about 7 months ago. After that, I have Arkham Knight and the first 4 God of War Games. Then I'll probably buy kotor or something.

Holy shit have fun with Arkham Knight. My personal favorite super hero game, narrowly beating Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Yeah, they went from a 0 to a 10 with the personal stakes and loss. It's a good game, I've done a lot of it. Rn, I'm in the mission where I have to get Gordon from underground. I really like the story. It's pretty damn enjoyable.
