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.

Ah, the Facebook owned gaming platform where you can now call homosexuality a mental disorder.

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The issue is that there aren't good competitors to the meta quest platform that does what i need. They poored tons of cash in developing it and it shows compared to other brands. The closest i could be interested in would be by HTC or Pymax but the new valve deckard and samsung's project moohan will come out this year anyways so i'm not gonna switch just yet. I've been looking forward to ditching meta for years without real options for me unfortunately.

The trick is to not consider meta products to be a viable option. What you are left with is the actual playing field.

Someday we will have the technology to play a AAAA game like Skull and Bones

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What about AAAAA games? Is there a limit?

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Only when you run out of breath.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA inhale

❌ Geforce Now ❌ AAA gaming ❌ Meta Quest 3

So close…

The real news is that AAA vr games are dogshit.

Even if I enjoyed a lot of that game, I feel sad that it often felt small-scope; tight hallways, no "canal/highway" type sequences, and only three guns. You don't even use the gravity gloves in the innovative ways you use the gravity gun.

Valve gets a free pass, of course.

Isn't the Arkham game supposed to be good?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Haven't looked at it, but from what I've seen, big studio titles seem to be either a shitty port or a "Hey look you can interact with things!!" style vr tutorial instead of a game.

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I heard Arkham was the real deal, but I didn't get a Quest 3 for Christmas

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

This is a VR app for streaming 2D games on a virtual screen, AFAIK. Not for actual VR games.
