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.

  1. This game is easily worth full price for the single player alone. You'd be an idiot not to pick it up for $3

  2. The multiplayer is back, like really back, and it slaps just as hard as ever. This is, genuinely, one of my main multiplayer games right now. The fight to the extraction on a loss is one of the most cinematic moments you'll ever get in a PvP gamemode.

Believe the hype on this one.

Well I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let some Internet rando think I’m an idiot.

Too late! 😁

Multiplayer actually working? Been having to use a mod to play, but it's been a while

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Servers are back up. No mods needed, you can just log in and play.

Multiplayer is amazing, but everyone seems to be way beyond my skill set at this point

[–] Player2@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

If you can finish the campaign on Master, you'll be pretty decent in multiplayer too in short order. Also can recommend Frontier Defense, it's a multiplayer co-op mode that reinforces good multiplayer skills and allows you to get used to the maps

This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

The best tip is to focus on killing ai in the Attrition mode, and stay near teammates. But the wave defense mode is fun too, as you level titans they get overpowered upgrades which would be too unbalanced in versus mode.

Apparently there are 9000 people playing on steam right now. That's not bad!

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, player counts have been healthy for the last year. I've never had to queue more than a few seconds for a game in any mode.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

The game is absolutely amazing. I bought it for 5 dollars. I suddenly couldn't play it anymore because you still have to deal with some ea bullshit and even refunded these 5 dollars. Game is a 10/10 ea is a 0/10

Yeah no.

  • EA game should be reason enough not to buy this game.
  • Requires EA launcher
  • Requires EA DRM
  • Requires linked EA account
  • No offline mode, even for single player

You couldn't pay me to play this game. If you buy this game, you forfeit the right to ever complain about this bullshit because you're actively encouraging it.
