Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

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.

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.

I hate to advocate for live service but...

An open world MMO racing game with a map that has roadworks that change the layout, on a weekly basis. Cops that do crackdowns on certain makes of cars, Carjackers trying to steal your ride, an ever evolving racing scene, weather events... give me a career mode where pushing my luck and teasing the cops too much costs me real progress. New songs in the radio every month, new events, new storylines and new arcs.

E.A could absolutely put it together and it could be great. But they would microtransaction the hell out of it, P2W, monetise the arse out of it and make it terrible. Because EA

You mean like NFS World? I was a closed beta tester. While it was a P2W system (buy powerups, etc) it wasn't ruined by it, and if you could beat a nfs game you can do just fine in World.

I only played for the first year or so - and haven't played the 3rd party rebirths - but World had potential. And EA killed it, like the dumbasses they are.

Yes and give me realistic physics and don't shove pointless and impossible "drifts" into everything!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes ago

I like the arcade physics, but at least keep it challenging and consistent.
