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.

Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Golden Sun. They were the best RPG games I've ever played and never get the love they deserve. Don't know why, I've never played a game that struck me like those 2 games did.

The first few Advance Wars games too, Advance Wars and Golden Sun were a huge part of my childhood.

I’m not usually the rpg type but that first Golden Sun game was just amazing. I’ve bought the second ages ago and haven’t gotten to it yet.

Golden sun is one of very few RPG I wanted more of. I remember it being way too short. But it was a blast from start to finish. The puzzles were the best.

You definitely should! It's the other half of the story! I'd say the 2nd one is better than the first one in many ways.

I still listen to the OST sometimes. What a great game

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are y’all just young? Golden Sun and Advance Wars were insanely popular hits when they came out.

[–] DeadGemini@waveform.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is a thread about the games you like that you don't hear anyone talk about. I don't hear anyone talk about them anymore.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Y’know, that’s completely fair. When I made that comment I was in the “nobody ever talked about” mindset, not “recently.”

I apologize for being a dingus!

(My partner and I were also recently talking about how great Golden Sun is! And you’re right, these days people seem to forget it existed.)

No worries! Honest mistake I'm sure I've made before too lol
