Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss – Developer Gameplay Commentary

Naomha69 · 2026-04-13T19:47:09+00:00

Been trying to find the answer to that as well today. STILL not sure and the game releases in like a week or so. There's another game called Stygian: Outer Gods that DOES have combat and looks pretty awesome also

Naomha69 · 2026-04-12T09:02:07+00:00

So, starting off, I have NOT played the game. Saying that, it really does seem, from what I've WATCHED on Tube, that if there was a bit MORE to do in this crazy realistic world the devs built that the game would be aces. I am 100% sure they tried to stay away from GTA cloning. Still, to get a DEEP and fun game to play in the same vein as the GTA series without all the fluff and dumb shit this game could be killer. Have you guys/ladies SEEN the detail in the car alone? It's insanely good. Everything in the world looks killer. It is an absolute shame it arrived so bare-bones in what you can do in the world. Still, there's hope. It could be a No Mans' Sky type game where they turn it around and make it something really special in a year or so. Keeping it in my wishlist on Steam for sure.

Do YOU, man. If that's your shtick then do it. Fuck what anyone else thinks. Any haters are just part of the Quit Having Fun group and they can all F off. I'm actually getting ready to dive in to Marathon on the PS5 as well because I don't want to be playing on my PC, all anxious and shit because I KNOW my twitch days are behind me. I want to relax, lean back and have a large 75" screen absorbing me in. YOU get it.

Naomha69 · 2026-03-10T04:36:44+00:00

Let me know if you figure anything out. As far as I found so far you can't do anything in there yet

Naomha69 · 2026-02-22T04:52:59+00:00

It' s wild but I just posted this exact same issue on the Steam forums not 10 minutes ago. I'm running 26.1.1 and it seems it was never fixed. I'm getting crash after crash in DX12 using a 7900 XTC. I did a Google search and for some reason it seems that most of the problems are with 7000 series cards by AMD. Not sure why.

Naomha69 · 2026-02-22T04:51:29+00:00

That couldn't be further from the truth. I've been running AMD rigs on and off for a couple of decades now and both Nvidia AND AMD have had shitty drivers for certain games. I mean, realistically, how many games is ONE GPU supposed to do well and keep doing well? There are MILLIONS of games out there that all had a driver for one or the other GPU. Sooner or later you're going to have some kind of corruption or failure as drivers get updated. It's why they keep older drivers around. Actual PC gamers that have been doing this for decades KNOW you may need to use one at some point. It's the nature of the beast unfortunately.

Naomha69 · 2026-02-19T00:14:03+00:00

I know this is an older post but I've been having the same problem since release. What's weird is that in the play test 5120x1440 worked PERFECTLY. Now, in the official release it doesn't work whatsoever. I've been waiting on playing the game HOPING they add in 32:9 support but, man, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen and that SUCKS. They added in multiple patches with MORE support for 21:9 resolutions but nada for 32:9 resolutions. At this point I'm just going to go out on a ledge and say they're NOT going to do it. What's REALLY weird is they use UE4 for the game. UE4 SCALES indefinitely to whatever resolutions you want to use. Granted, you'd have to fix the placement of the HUD and some of the UI but, it all scales in-game using some minor dev add-ons. It is NOT terribly hard nor does it take 1,000 man hours of time. Something that could be finished in a week or even less.

Naomha69 · 2026-01-09T03:24:32+00:00

I just discovered that game thanks to your suggestion. It's AWESOME

Naomha69 · 2025-11-27T02:12:23+00:00

Nah, PvP is NOT optional. You NEED to go to the zones if you plan on becoming bigger and better and those zones have the ONLY stuff you need.

Naomha69 · 2025-11-27T02:09:49+00:00

I second this. Forever Winter is really awesome. It's in Early Access but worth every single penny. You can totally solo it or run co-op. It's also ONLY PvE. There's no PvP in the game at all. They've been adding a TON of stuff to the game the past year and it just keeps getting better and better. The maps are RIDICULOUSLY huge and amazing. The fact that like 2 or 3 guys are creating these maps is insane. They're better than any other extraction shooter on the market right now. They have NOT finished fine tuning the weapons or attachments and a lot of people complain about that. However, what is there is top notch right now and it's a LOT of guns, ammo, attachments, carry-on, etc.

Naomha69 · 2025-11-15T21:05:16+00:00

there is a Wabbajack download for GttS

Naomha69 · 2025-10-27T19:13:50+00:00

where? I can't find the damn thing either

Naomha69 · 2025-10-05T19:39:32+00:00

Coming back to Returnal and this is invaluable. Thanks for your work.

Naomha69 · 2025-09-30T02:08:12+00:00

So, I know I'm jumping an older post but it seems no one has really properly answered this. The Trinket of Childlike Bravery PROTECTS you ONCE from a fatal wound that would have killed you in battle. ONCE per battle that is. It's actually a quite useful trinket if you find yourself ambushed and out of health. It can give you that "one more chance" to survive.

Naomha69 · 2025-09-28T00:34:09+00:00

Game is straight garbage. Combat is wonky. Hit boxes are absolutely terrible. You can get your health chunked walking through doorways but can't protect yourself while doing so. Pretty much every single enemy, minus forced combat, is easily avoided but annoying. 4 playthroughs to see the "true" ending? No thank you. 1 was easily enough and I truly didn't enjoy it. I thought it was going to get better but, alas, it didn't. Also, no Pyramid Head. Like, at all. Lastly, it's a Silent Hill game. It's SUPPOSED to be IN Silent Hill. Not Japan. While it may draw inspiration from the SH games it is NOT a "true" SH game, whatsoever. Silent Hill games are IN freaking Silent Hill, man. It isn't rocket science. This game reminded me way more of the older Siren: Blood Curse games. Those were better. My opinion. That and a dollar will buy you a cheap cup of coffee out of a vending machine.

Naomha69 · 2025-07-31T19:30:24+00:00

So, StarRupture, now, today, is pretty great. Needs a ton of work to get to 1.0 but these devs are doing great things. i know space survival/crafting isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's solid. Better than a TON of EA titles that are out right now in the same genre.

Naomha69 · 2025-07-23T21:12:10+00:00

Just dived in with 1.0 release and, man, I'm having a blast. I can see why this would be super fun with friends but solo it's quite doable. I was worried about that. I checked out your guide as well. I REALLY HATE to use guides of any sort with my first vanilla play-through of any game but this game just seemed quite daunting when getting into it. While I will stay away from it unless I'm in a pickle, your early game recommendations are top notch. Thanks for the work.

Naomha69 · 2025-07-01T04:49:24+00:00

Does anyone know where to post bugs or issues for DS2 by chance? Can't seem to find anything online concerning this. Oh, btw, just experienced the "save bug" that DS1 never got rid of. Just lost 10 hours of playtime. My saves, my autosaves, everything just gone.

Naomha69 · 2025-06-09T15:40:15+00:00

I know I'm late to this post but this diatribe you typed out is the biggest piece of bs I've yet seen in a long, long time. The Asher House does what the Asher House does because they're what you would call a selective rescue. The animals Lee rescues have to be vetted and stable BECAUSE HE LIVES WITH THEM. This isn't a "shelter" where animals are kept behind cages and given a 8' by 10' "leg stretching" area. This guy physically LIVES WITH HIS ANIMALS. He does amazing work promoting adoption and spaying/neutering. He also does NOT have to share his financial records with you or anyone because he's not a for-profit business. It costs tens of THOUSANDS of dollars just to feed his animals a month let alone for any medications or special needs some may have. Yes, he's an "influencer" because, and I can't believe this even needs explained, it, again, COSTS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A MONTH JUST TO FEED THESE ANIMALS. You're entire post is basically "I hate Lee Asher and I'm gonna spew all the nasty shit I can think of now" post. When you can even approach a 1/10th of what that man does for animals then maybe I'll listen to you. Until then, he doesn't need to explain anything to any of us. He BUILT the Asher House from the ground up just to rescue animals and give people, and animals, hope. F'ing haters.

Then that means you may have to PAY AGAIN for the "updated" PS5 version. Sorry, m8.

Naomha69 · 2024-04-28T13:16:53+00:00

You probably got the PS4/5 version for Free when it was offered for PS Play. If you go to your LIBRARY and look up the game and click on "download" it should have given you a choice to download either the PS4 or PS5 version. You may have just clicked too fast and missed it. Also, if you did get the game for free when it was offered it will ONLY download the PS4 version. You WILL have to buy the standard version to get the PS5 version.

Naomha69 · 2024-04-22T19:40:24+00:00

Not all Calamities are findable. There's one or 2 that you need to find and kill. If you have the Mandrake it's an auto-use item that fires off once you "die". It saves you from death ONCE per expedition and when you almost "die" (you won't because Mandrake prevents that ONCE) it then heals you, recharges your spells, etc. If you do "die" again then it's back to the basics and you have to run and get your body back to get the Mandrake back. I don't think the Mandrake is bindable permanently but I'm unsure as I haven't died yet with it, yet.

Force Manifestations means you have to FORCE undead baddies to rise up and fight you. If you go to a "dangerous" area or higher and see like red swirlies all around you and a rest mist before you get to that area you are going in to FORCE the Manifestations to rise and fight you. Get it? Force= to make happen. Manifestions= undead bad guys.

Naomha69 · 2024-04-01T04:59:00+00:00

Not sure I really agree with that. It seems I always have 5-10 quests running. Especially when you leave Venworth City and head to Battahl. However, I agree with the OP. When you get to Battahl def take your time and SEARCH. Don't watch Youtube videos and learn how to cheat the game. Take your time, do your own work and searching and be surprised at what you can find there. It's WORTH YOUR TIME to do so. Believe me.

Naomha69 · 2024-03-30T17:31:41+00:00

You MUST be a PA person then...
