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.

You have to be signed in to see the video...

Try that. There also other ways to bypass sign in, but can't link them at the moment. Google will help.

The first Rising Storm game is the last good game Tripwire made and probably ever will make, and I will die on this hill.

I just played the most recent round of stress testing after the initial invite-only beta a few months back. The game is in WAY better shape post-delay than it was initially, but I can't help but feel it still needs some significant additional time to bake. The devs definitely seem to be taking player feedback to heart, so I do have faith it could get to a good spot, but I'm personally going to wait for a steep sale to purchase, at which point it would ideally be patched into an even better place.

What's significantly different that necessitated a third game? And is it going to be monitized to hell like 2 eventually became?

Weapon attachments, a more on-the-fly equipment and gear game... Some small QoL items... Honestly aside from getting to ride the hype of a new release there isn't much to this iteration that "elevates" it beyond KF2. That's largely why I said it still needs time to cook. If you took everything that KF2 did right and polish the shit out of it, crank it to 11 so to speak, then I could see a full separate release as justifiable. This one is definitely feeling more like a rebase so that they can go even HARDER after micro transactions and battle pass monetization.
