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.

WB will delete this to get a tax break at the first available opportunity. No point in getting excited about anything they do.

Wait that entire thing was just an open beta? That you could spend money on?

Eeesh.

[–] ampersandrew@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

It felt more like a retroactive beta, like taking back a move in chess saying your hand was still on the piece when they realized it wasn't working out.

Fuck WB. I've got no plans to interact with any of their products or properties going forward.

I enjoyed playing around with it for a few weeks last year. I liked that they had voice acting and context-sensitive dialogue like Velma saying, "Let's see who's really the world's greatest detective" when Batman was on the enemy team.

It's also just fun to speculate about all the characters that could show up (but probably won't). I'm still rooting for Granddad "Bitches" Freeman to join the roster.

Holy shit if they added The Boondocks characters, I might actually lay this game and try to look past all the bullshit. And I'd stick with it too, and they'd be my mains. I'd honestly love to play as Huey and fuck some shit up with kung fu and the Black Power Fist. Maybe Riley has like a baseball bat and his giant Timbs or something. Grandad would of course use his belt to fight.

Shit, now I'm getting hyped for something that'll never happen.

ETA: with the death of John Witherspoon, however, I don't think they would or could do the character justice.

This game plays great, but I have a hard time trusting anything WB.

[–] ampersandrew@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

They're called platform fighters. And I doubt this thing has an offline mode, so no thanks.

With Zaslav at the reins I won’t trust this til it’s actually out again

I'm looking forward to it. I actually enjoyed the game on launch but the servers were rough, glad to hear they're going for rollback netcode.

I also enjoyed it when I got that rare match that wasn't a teleportation and rubber banding mess. Hopefully rollback fixes that.
