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.

And yes as expected you don't need bnet installed to play, just need to link your Steam and Blizzard accounts.

From briefly giving it another shot after quitting it 3 months into the mess that is - IMO - Overwatch 2, I am not only confused by the sheer avalanche of bars, popups and numbers and progressions that emulate an actual meaningful system or at least try to, but I can also say that sadly, not much has changed for the better.

Two more support heroes is good and they're both very well made in graphics and sound. Balance is still utterly all over the place and still reels from the removal of the second tank and a lack of a full-game rebalancing effort to accomodate such a sweeping change.

Ah well, still. Nice to see one less launcher. Hopefully their other games all come to Steam and ideally other sites, too.

I play on Xbox from time to time (2 kids and a dog don’t exactly afford me a ton of free time), but these balance adjustments seem interesting. New support character seems more intriguing than Lifeweaver did at launch.

Same boat. With kids it becomes really hard to find time to game for long periods. I look for games with short rounds. Halo infinite, SF6 etc.
