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.

First party Nintendo games maintain value forever. This is not exclusive to the switch.

None of the first party games are slow or laggy.

Online is nothing special. Splatoon 3 plays great, though.

First party games and indie games are the only great reasons to own a switch and if you stick to those guns, most everything you said doesn't hold water.

Well, except Pokémon. But we don't talk about Pokémon.

Game freak doesn't count lol. They are terribly made games lol.

Pokemon is second-party, the publisher (Nintendo) owns part of the IP but they don't own the developer (Gamefreak).

Yeah, you're technically right, but everyone just fully associates Pokémon with Nintendo.

Links Awakening runs like ass most of the time. I'd consider it's performance pretty poor for a first party title. Generally though you're right.

Ok, I concede to LA. One out of how many games, then?

Most of the time? Doesn't it mainly lag when moving to a different region? It also looks really good.
