Gaming thread

I’ve been coveting a PS5 so that I can play Ghosts of Tsushimi - I tried Sekiro on XBox and rage quit for the final time about a year ago.

Availability and pricing suck on the PS5 (over $1k if you can find them) but tonight…the boy WON ONE at his work party. He’s over at my house now hooking it up.

Company of Heroes 3 drops Feb. 23, 2023 and is available on current gen consoles. (I think console support is a first for the series?) Not being a console guy, the game play looks great. I hope trying to make it available for the peasant class didn't ruin it for actual gamers.

Diablo 4 is Jun. 6, 2023 and if you pre-purchase you receive early access to the Open Beta. Early reviews are pretty good so far.
 
Looking forward also to Space Marine 2, arriving next year. Played the first one 10 years ago or so. Will be available for PC, XBOX and PS5. Very curious about the multiplayer.

 
B: “You have no honor”
A: ”And you are a slave to it”

B: “The Shogun has declared you a traitor”
A: “and my head is the cost”.
B: ”Taking it is my punishment”.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played.
 
The war in the Ukraine has claimed a game developer. I never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but know it was very popular.

Bungie and other game developers are suing various hacking companies. Aimbots, wall hacks, unlimited ammo type of hacking which really ruins the game for everyone but the cheater.

Anywho, one of the lawsuits turned up this wonderful nugget:

To wit: the hacking software was logging open browser tabs which included a child's online learning session and a DoD employee's session with the mhsgenesis.health.mil portal.

I hope winning that game of pvp was worth the data breach.
 
The future of AI is going to be wild....and by that I mean scary.

While this Destiny through and through, even non-gamers will get the point about AI. For us Destiny nerds, this video is hilarious. If you're a gamer, there's a good chance your game has one of these or will soon.

This hurts because we literally had this same argument in my fire team XD

"Who wants to run Div?"
(Silence)
Someone eventually says they will.
"Good, we have a Div Bitch. Who's running a well and do we have a tether?"

And for my money it's L1/ L2 and R1/R2.

That reminds me of our div Runs. My second Div run was actually pretty easy, but this happened WAAAAAAAAY after GoS launched. First time I made our raid leader rage quit...and it mayyyyyyyy have been due to me being a bottle of wine...or two+ in...either way, we got it done the second time easy peasy XD.

My Div run was a sherpa LFG. After 5 1/2 hours dudes started dropping, so left too.

Fast forward a year or something and I had the opposite experience with another sherpa LFG. The sherpa was great and the people actually listened.

I've managed to solo Shattered Throne and solo flawless Pit. Pit took 21 attempts. Spire, I keep dying to something dumb on the climb. Grasp, that damned ogre. I hate ogres.
 
I have a confession to make.

I have purchased an XBox for the express purpose of playing NHL ‘23. Which I will say is fucking amazing.

Online, though, people are absolutely flaming me. I am good at the game (or so I thought??)

Don’t know how much I’m gonna venture into actual gaming but this is- and I’m not joking- the first time I have ever personally owned a video game console or game.

Give yourself some time. You're playing against kid's in Mom's basement that play hours a day.

Man, the amount of my life I've spent gaming. The only other person here that can probably relate is @AWP. I've logged thousands of hours on Diablo 3.
