Gaming thread

Bungie just won a 16 million dollar judgement against WallHax for providing cheat software. Where it gets interesting is it was a RICO case on top of a DCMA case as well.

RICO against cheat developer. Suck it, cheaters.
 
So much truth in one little meme.

ETA: "Beta test? More like advanced Alpha test. The players can Beta test upon launch and we'll release a patch a month after release."

That's why I was kind of impressed with the Diablo 4 testing. Two open betas.
 
PC owners (I don't know if this applies to consoles or not because...I am the PC Master Race), but Red Dead Redemption 2 is on sale for 67% off the base version and 70% for the Ultimate bundle. Steam seasonal sales are usually 50% for this title.

No lie, I'm buying this even though Destiny's seasonal content just dropped and Diablo 4 is dropping in a week or two.

The sale runs through 6/15. Steam's Summer Sale drops on 6/29 so play the odds accordingly.

Chatting with my D2 clan in Discord (I DO NOT POST CLASSIFIED MATERIAL) I realized this summer is an absolute banger for game releases.
Legend of Zelda, Diablo4, Final Fantasy whatever, Company of Heroes (Did it drop already?), Street Fighter, a new Baldur's Gate... and this is on top of whatever you're addicted to playing like me plus dozens of other titles.

Then you have Steam's summer sale, whatever Epic is doing, and I'm sure the console folks will have a massive sale.

Go touch some

Steam has decided to get in on the action and now its prices for RDR2 are the same as Epic Games'.

I'll post some thoughts (as if anyone cares) on RDR 2's gameplay later this week. D2's weekly reset is today and a girl has her priorities.
 
Destiny 2, Iron Banner week.

I am a grown ass man yelling at my screen.

"CAP THE FUCKING POINTS YOU MORON!!!!!!!!!!!! CAP THE POINTS, DON'T SLAY OUT! YOU SUCK ANYWAY!!!!!! CAP THE POINTS, HOLD 2, GO FOR CHIP DAMAGE NOT YOUR K/D YOU STUPID FUCK!!!!!!"

Anyway, I'm going to go play some RDR2 or World of Warships.

Gamers, play the objective. Don't play for stats, play for the objective and the W. Hmph, maybe our military could learn from gaming...
 
@Ooh-Rah any tips on riding this goddamn horse? Is there a secret sauce or just "good luck, bitch, keep riding off cliffs until you learn"?
L O L… Here are a few tricks.

- I hit the L3 circle button occasionally to say “good girl“ give it praise. It helps build up loyalty and keeps it calm.

- once you start moving, just hold the X button down and you should continue on at about the same speed. I rarely “sprint“

- Keep an eye on it stats, you need to feed it occasionally and groom it.

- When you get off, try to find a place to “hitch“. It build stamina while it is hitched.

If you are still in the mountains and not out of the snow, yet, stick with it, I hate that part. Once you get to chapter 2, you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want. I think this is my fifth Playthru, and I’ve been in chapter 2 for about the last three weeks. I’ve got most of the map opened up and a shit ton of side missions done.
 
Already a Lvl 6 or 7 (stupid wife thought we should have dinner together like a couple). Solid game this early on, very reminiscent of D3, but darker. Looking forward to going further and exploring the new mechanics. Flurry Rogue is stupid at this level, BTW. I haven't seen stuff mowed down like that since My Lai...
 
Diablo 4's campaign is stupid long and if you run all of the side quests and clear the dungeons, you will be there forever. I'm a lvl 34 or something and just finished Act I. I'm going to press with the main quest and necessary dungeons and ignore most side quests.
 
Blizzard says it's about 35 hours in total. You can just catch the cut scenes on YouTube. When I was playing through act 6 I kept thinking...this is America if we have to endure another term of biden.
 
- Diablo 4's campaign is almost as long as our war in Afghanistan. I think I'm finally in the 6th of 8(?) Acts. You have to go through all of that to unlock the "actual" game content (I'm not joking).

- A streamer just signed a 2-year deal with Kick (Twitch rival) for 100 MILLION dollars. That's almost Joe Rogan to Spotify money going to a guy even my nerd ass has never heard of before this weekend. That's insane to me, but I'm happy for the guy and anyone else who can make it work.

Back to the D4 grind. 36 hours played and counting.
