Im currently playing Horizon Forbidden West, and one main story point was a serious let down compared to its prequel, Zero Dawn. The only (good) discussions I found on the topic were all on reddit, which I had left during the great Lemmy migration.

Do I need to go back to reddit for game forum discussions? Is there any other active place that discusses specific games?

Warning, incoming rant. Spoiler tags not working

Itss regarding the

spoiler

now sentient subordinate functions, and more importantly, how Aloy treated them.

In Zero Dawn

spoiler

Demitri, the one incharge of plant life, scattered metal flowers about in the first game, with bits of poetry his creator loved. He also had flowers growing around Elizabeth Sobeck’s body in the ending cutscene.

Then theres CYAN and her whole saga in Frozen Wilds. Aloy really seemed to get along with her.

And yet, in the first half of Forbidden Quest

spoiler

Aloy has no qualms about killing the subfunctiond and restoring them to base code for the new Gaia.

Minerva was damn scared, hiding in the Base the whole time, all the while sending an encrypted signal saying ‘Here I am’.

Aether (weather control) didnt do anything wrong at all, just kept trying to do his duty, even as the errors kept mounting and the storms increasing.

Thats as far as I managed to get before shutting the game down. Will prob uninstall too. Even if the game has well established that Aloy is getting desperate to restore

spoiler

GAIA ::: , this seems way out of character.

The first game story was terrible and so is the second. This is some trivial shit to quit over but to each their own.

This community, [email protected], and [email protected] are the most active for general discussion, although both the /c/games communities are heavier on news than discussion.

That game’s old enough for discussion on [email protected], which is semi-active and much more discussion-oriented.

There is a [email protected] community but unfortunately there just isn’t the interest to build an active community here (on Lemmy) for specific games at the moment. [email protected] seems to be a good place for it at the moment but feel free to cross-post.

You can start the discussions on this community if you’d like. I believe it’s the most active one. If you’re looking for the amount of content Reddit has…Lemmy isn’t there yet. You starting these discussions may help more and more people to contribute and add in. Which then creates more content.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
