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.

Finally! Been waiting to play this for so long. The first game was such a chill time!

Guys I need to ask something. The special physical edition of SR2 is hosted by iam8bit.com, and among the bonus material is something they call an "O-sleeve" -

There are no images of this on the site. Aside from sex toys or armwear I have no clue what this could be. Searching it hasn't clarified anything. Does anyone here know what an O-sleeve is? Is it something O shaped?

Edit: the only thing I can find related to sleeves and discs are these, but this'd be weird to include..

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 14 points 4 days ago

I'm going to guess it stands for "outer sleeve", as the exclusive edition includes a graphical sleeve which slides over the game box.

I pre-ordered No Man's Sky through iam8bit for their Special Edition with the ship model and everything.

That experience was such a nightmare (and I mean dealing with iam8bit delaying orders beyond the games release date and other crap, not that the game was underwhelming at launch) that I cannot in good conscience ever recommend anyone purchase anything from iam8bit.

The first one was enjoyable. A good game to play while listening to a podcast

I feel that doesn't really apply for a game that's been playable for several years now. It's not a triple-A preorder, it's just the physical relase for an early-access game.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

If it has cool physical extras, then it's fine. But preordering a digital only product is pretty stupid.
