Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

*Disease Spotted in Madagascar.

*Madagascar closes its ports to stop infection.

Showed this game to my girlfriend, and started off in SAfrica. Never before did I manage to complete this game, I always ended up with either Madagascar or Argentina alive, but straight up I infected Madagascar followed by Argentina. I screamed in delight and what followed was a slightly awkward explanation to my gf.

This game needs a sequel.

I prefer Plague Inc. which is a dollar in the App Store.

[–]AstralSandwich[S] 0 points1 point ago

Is it worth the dollar?

[–]Fooo346 0 points1 point ago

It is, but it is more complex than Pandemic. (the Pandemic app sucks, btw)

[–]AstralSandwich[S] 0 points1 point ago

Cool! Also thanks for the heads-up on the Pandemic app... the last thing I need is one more garbage app bogging down my phone :P

[–]Thazgul 0 points1 point ago

Alas, I only have an Android.

[–]Riku98523 1 point2 points ago

Then Madagascar shut down their shipyards before it spread hu.

[–]AstralSandwich[S] 0 points1 point ago

Nope! The selfish bastards let the parasite infect the entire planet and wipe out the human race!

Victims had a fever, bloody vomit, pulmonary edema, insanity, hemorrhaging, liver and heart failure, and encephalitis.

[–]vReCoNoRv 1 point2 points ago

What game is this? And what's the premise?

[–]AstralSandwich[S] 0 points1 point ago

This game is called "Pandemic 2". The basic premise is to engineer a supervirus/bacteria/parasite to kill the entire planet.

[–]vReCoNoRv 1 point2 points ago

I see, much appreciated :)

[–]DarK_DMinh 2 points3 points ago

The reason why OP is also happy is because Madagascar is usually the most difficult island to infect. The only way the virus can travel is through 1 shipyard, and that shipyard tends to close fairly early in the game.

[–]AstralSandwich[S] 0 points1 point ago

That.

[–]ConMan98 0 points1 point ago

you...lucky bastard

[–]andeverybreath 0 points1 point ago

I JUST GOT THIS TOO. THANK YOU OP FOR THE GOOD LUCK.

[–]Harkruel 0 points1 point ago

more like "a great way to whore karma by a failed repost"

[–]vidirg 0 points1 point ago

I see this post so fucking often, who cares that you got lucky?

[–]Meelz 0 points1 point ago

Excuse me for being such a noob, but what game is this?

[–]AstralSandwich[S] -1 points0 points ago

It's a very addicting game called Pandemic 2. The general goal of the game is to wipe out the entire Earth with a supervirus! It is morbidly fun!

Link!

The game starts you in a random territory, and the toughest one to reach is Madagascar. Starting there is a huge advantage.

[–]SutterCane 0 points1 point ago

Even Fringe loves this game. I think it was the second season where a map is used to model the spread of a disease.... Madagascar survives.
