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.

  1. It’s $80
  2. It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
  3. It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
  4. It’s $80
  5. (Edit) shitty DRM

Where is it $80?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

80€ in Steam Spain.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

79,99€ in Germany

I am interested, but not that much to pay more than 20€ in a sale in a few years. It was the same with Doom Eternal. And I haven't bought it to this day 😅

Maybe it will never be bought 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Not in Australia, it's $120 here.

Todd, Marty, Phil and Satya can suck an egg together.

Steam, the cheapest I see it as is 79,99€ where I am, which is actually US$90. I just assumed the US store did a straight numeral conversion to dollars, but you’re getting a discount too, it seems.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's $70

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Depends on your location in the world. Which shows just how arbitrary the price actually is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Because of the tariffs that only apply to the US, see, they have to charge more for digital goods in other countries because reasons.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Also, it reviewed well but with some annoying caveats.

up against Expedition 33

I mean... I don't play Doom due to DRM but also to be fair Expedition 33, which I'm enjoying quite a lot on Linux, is "just" 40ish hours whereas Doom is (check notes) less than 20hrs to complete? WTH. Nope.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

20 and 40 hours both sound pretty terrible for such expensive games. Got far more out of games like Factorio and for a lot less.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd rather have a 20 hour game that is engaging the entire time than a game that has a ton of filler in it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Factorio is engaging the entire time. Not a massive fan on story games because that severely limits the playtime you get from the game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, different style of games. I need to give Factorio another shot, it seems really up my alley but I couldn't get into it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Also... I think you missed this one... It's $80.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Gonna wait for a code and a sale in a year
