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.

All your games now have to start with the same letter, which one are you going with?

I can say the two games that really got me into gaming (Christmas 1998) started with a T.

Tomb Raider 3 Tekken 3

Oh look at that, they were also the 3rd entry.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

S technically

so many amazing games for Super Nintendo back in the day that literally started with "Super"

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Does P for Proton count?

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

H for Hollow Knight, I think that pretty much settles it...

[–] Mercuri@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm going to start with my most played game and work backwards from there. So... K for Kerbal Space Program.

Maybe not the best choice in terms of number of games but I'd still get stuff like

  • Knights of the Old Republic
  • King's Quest
  • Killer Instinct
  • Katamari
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Killzone
  • Kirby

Probably others, but obviously not as extensive as a letter like S or T. Still I would probably opt to pick the letter with my favorite game of all time in there than one that just gives more options.

The person perhaps (eventually) most qualified to answer this might be Graeldon, who is on a quest to play every Steam game in alphabetical order.

F encompasses all the Final Fantasy , Final Fight, Fable, Fallout, Far Cry, Forza Horizon series, and some individual games like Forspoken, Forsaken, Fez, Fermi Paradox, Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy, Fae Tactics and many others.

That's all you need really

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 2 points 8 months ago

Q

Quake Quake II

But maybe U

Unreal Tournament 2004

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

For the sake of adding something new, X is pareto optimal in terms of having both the best and the fewest games.

  • Xenogears
  • Xenosaga (maybe, haven't played it yet)
  • Xenoblade anything
  • X-COM anything

I'd probably be content with only playing games from the Xeno- meta-series alone.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You also get a decent number of X-Men games

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

And a lot of porn games

All your bases are covered

How could I forget that classic!

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Either F, T, or S... but probably T.

F has Final Fantasy, Fallout, Factorio

S has Satisfactory, Super anything (incl Mario), most Star Wars games, and Sid Meier games

T has The ______. The list is too long to even start.

[–] visor841@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Hm, maybe A?

Age of Empires

Anno

Assassin's Creed

Aloft

Against the Storm

Across the Obelisk

Hm, E would be a good option as well

Elden Ring

Elder Scrolls

Europa Universalis

Endless (Space, Legend)

As a side note, would "Sid Meier's Civilization V" count as "s" or "c"?

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (6 children)

D
Disco Elysium
Don't Starve
Dirt
Dishonored
Deus ex
Darkest Dungeon
Deadbolt
Dungeon of endless

A well-rounded list with some great time-sinkers in it!

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Diablo games as well

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Anything Dragon Quest needs to be on the list!

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

No Dark Souls?

Shame! Shame!

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 1 points 8 months ago

Enkrod feels euphoric due to every D-list in this thread menacing with spikes of Dwarf Fortress

[–] CharlesReed@fedia.io 2 points 8 months ago

I agree with D, and would also like to submit the Dead Space games.
