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.

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.

Honestly it's unfair, these clowns forgave CDPR for lying about CP2077 being complete. MindsEye devs didn't even say anything.

I know "worst" is an adjective that triggers a lot of content farms, but I still feel bad about these situations. Even the worst games, when they manage to be completed, are mountains of effort from the people involved; and as I understand it this was coming from one of IOI's first publishing efforts.

Worst rated game of the year... So far!

I just looked it up. I'm not sure how I missed this one, but i guess im not missing much. Sad because the trailer looked OK and the team behind it should have at least made an average game. I guess I'll read up on what makes it so bad now.

I've been playing it, I'm around 60% through the story, I wouldn't say this is the worst game of 2025, not by a long shot, maybe people were just expecting it to be a GTA clone, when it's more like a single player linear story.

The only issue I have with it is it is all very quick paced, you get a new job and like a day later you're gunning down hundreds of goons.

After awhile you get access to a 'build mode' that allows you to build stuff using provided assets in the world, eg you wanna build a house on top of a skyscraper you can.

The build mode also includes logic nodes for doing gameplay scripting.

All in all I think people enjoy feeling apart of something, and apparently everyone has decided to hate on this game because of "reasons"?

Is this like an Balan Wonderworld bad? Where it’s polished but just an awful experience? Or is it just buggy and meh?

Balans are some of my favorite because there’s something fascinating about a well polished turd that you can’t look away from.

From what I've seen, it's the latter. It's a very mediocre GTA clone that's full of bugs and is very forgettable in every way. The writing is also very bad.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Aww boo. Bad writing can still be fun.
