The OT Thread!! Post Here When You Feel The Need!

Yea, normally I don’t mind bugs that can crash games or tank performance for a bit, because in the end they are still playable. I like to help developers I like with EA when I can, because I genuinely love their games, like with Valheim (which I have had to force myself not to play so I can return when the rest of the content drops) or Regions of Ruin (which was fantastic).

I watched streamers playing Arma Reforger, youtube videos etc and they were able to play it, so I assumed the issue was literarily not the entire populace. I’m realizing that these streamers/youtubers were not playing on the servers, but MP missions or on their own servers with like 8 people and edited out the constant disconnects to trick us. :sob:

I was trying to remember a game I saw during one of those E3 events, which looked awesome! I think you got to fight like giant monsters, like a wolf, perhaps a dino or Godzilla or something. Fuzzy memory. In any case, it looked so good in the trailer. The graphics when it released though, it’s like’s Until Dawn vs Pixels, not the same at all. NO hate! Just saying the trailer was misleading.

So I decided to try searching my Steam tags to try to see if it’s one I own, (looks like not) and searching Steam is hard. Esp. if the dev. hasn’t tagged a lot, or if I didn’t apply my own tags.

This person made a tool for this, using profile, similar to Steamdb, I guess. With you library loaded, you get a ton of options for filters. Downside, if that if you tag, say Horror, it automatically grays out certain other categories. Hm.

Steam library filters

Another user on the thread at gaming.stackexchange, suggested another, to install, tool called Depressurizer, but I’m not of a mind to try out software. That one only requires that you install it on the same comp. as Steam. Supposedly doesn’t restrict categories at all, yada yada.

Not familiar with the forum or the users, just random info. that someone might want to look into more. I think Virtualboxes exist for running software that you don’t want to integrate into your computer as yet. I’m in ze constant discomfort. Sorry for rambling.

Um… a graphics thing for you I’m guessing, as it’s not otherwise related to the game I was trying to recollect.

Was it Scalebound? It got canceled a while ago.

Ah, cool looking, but no. The monsters were the enemy straight up, not companions.

Do you remember the year? If everything fails, can always browse through e3 recaps https://2022.e3recap.com, just change the year and it should take it to the corresponding event.

And if you could remember any info that can help like, top down view, first person, etc. A game that has 3D graphics on trailer and then becomes pixel graphics, that’s tricky :laughing:

ha ha. It wasn’t quite that bad, but it did drop dramatically in graphics quality. Will check out that link, myrr. Thanks.

I remember only large dino/dragon monsters to fight, 3d and photorealistic.

Wild guesses, but who knows: Monster Hunter, Ark, Evolve, Horizon Zero Dawn, Dragon Age Inquisition, Dauntless?

Closest energy is Dauntless or Monster Hunter, but kinda think it was an indie dev., not a big company. No matter. Maybe it never got made, like Scalebound.

Take a few minutes to read the comments especially if you own a small pet or live with a teenage boy.

Look what they found in India. It took over 60 years to carve by hand. Started around 200 BC. It had been buried for over 1000 years. Now it has shown up on your screen in less than a second.

Happy Father’s Day to all the men & to all the people who otherwise fill the role of both parents.

Lifetime dedication. It’s radically interesting. Learning new things about other cultures is fascinating.

No lie, but my friend’s dad is like this. For a while, I was going out on Saturdays and bringing home conkeys (stewed dumplings) local dish, wrapped in banana leaves.

In any case, one day he commented that he would always see them when he went in the fridge, so he didn’t think they were fresh, he thought they were always the same ones. Sigh.
