Funny SW names for a game/company

Some of the funny ones I've heard over the years are:

• Call of Dookie
• Unfarted (I think this came from @SecretPolice)
• Crapcom
• The Flop of Us
• Turds of the Fallen (giving you credit here @mesome713 lol)

How about you, SW? Which ones come to mind for you?

FauxK instead of 4K was a popular one on here

Xbox One SAD has always been one of my favourite abreviations.

I keep calling the Battlefield 2042 Specialists, Specialshits and it stuck with me and now me and all of my friends call them that as it was such an awful system to replace classes with.

I call skins in games clown 🤡 skins. As they're all frigging stupid and they're all just the same stupid fortnite-looking skins in every single game.

I always called my squad in Rising Storm 2 (a Vietnam game) poop tunnels. It was either a reference to people placing their spawn points in very poor locations. But I always liked the idea of having the people in my squad spawn out of my poop tunnel. I'm sure not a lot of people will get this reference except for maybe @with_teeth26 . But even then, some people had way funnier and more tongue-in-cheek names.

I once had a match in Rising Storm 1 where there was some guy impersonating an army chief and everyone was just in tears the whole game. Fantastic community.

DLSS/FSR the new FauxK.😂

@ghostofgolden: bro, my ps5 box says 8k on it..

It should say 2K.

There’s a tech race to see who can Faux the most K’s the best. I know @kuu2 never saw this coming lol

Many games are still FauxK. Even today the term stands as tall as a house.

The term was mostly used by Lems to poke fun at the PS4 Pro before the One X launch. Notice the use of the term has slowed dramatically

"It's Ridge Racer. Riiiiiidge Raceeeer!" (from E3 2006) Good times! :D

"Ass-Creed" is so well established by now, that it is what I call the franchise even in my mind 😂.

Lol, don't remember that name, but it fits 😂

@ghostofgolden: The term was more of a PC gamer term for console gamers. Not sure where you get the idea that it was a Xbox fannies thing.🤷‍♂️

Console games didn’t touch that resolution until the Pro/X launched. And I’ve shown the posts/screen grabs on this board a thousand times. Dont act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Lems blasted the PS4 Pro for upscaling and “faux K” until they were dealing with it themselves a year later. Then the goal posts started shifting to “first party games will be native 4K.” And it shifted again when that was no longer true.

I can post some evidence if you like. You were even in on it lol 😬😂

@ghostofgolden: Sure, knock yourself out. I am always up for evidence. 🤷‍♂️

Dad of Bore

Alan Walk 2

@sargentd: Alan Walk 2? New one to me but sounds accurate

DriveFlop

Or 5club

The studio behind that flop Quantum Error is called Teamkill Media... so no special spicy alteration need be applied.

Scam Citizen.

I find that one offensive! You'll see! YOU'LL ALL LEARN YOUR LESSON AND WILL BOW TO SCAM CITIZEN! I mean STAR SCAMIZEN! Dammit...I mean Star Citizen.

Gaybreak instead of Daybreak (publisher of EverQuest, H1Z1, Lords of the Rings Online etc)

@mrbojangles25: lol. It's a good one.

Also, Dad of Boy. lmao

Dude.. wasn’t that game announced back in 2012? that’s nuts haha.

The game was announced via a private crowdfunding page in September 2012, and was later joined on October 18, 2012 by a successfulKickstartercampaign which drew in over US$2 million.^[3]Pre-production of the game began in 2010, with production starting in 2011.

My dad says these are worthy of Mad Magazine, whatever that is, sounds like high praise. He also suggested "Re-TURD-al" and "Resident Pee-vil BORE"

I keep hearing Alex Battaglia refer to PC as "The Pissy" so there's another one perfect for this thread, but maybe that's his thick German/European accent coming through when he speaks English. Americans can't understand him because IDK if you heard but he's 100% German.

What do you think of TLOU Pt 1 on PC? I think it looks a bit grainy/oversharpened.

Any way to improve its graphics?

Phony and Nintendont do what Xbox does. lol :P

@R4gn4r0k: How did you know I just bought TLOU1 on PC?

anyway lol, about 1/3 into my 12th run of the game now.

The game is demanding AF and doesn't have frame generation so yeah... Can't expect to max it out when not even a 4090 does that at 4K. (not at locked 120 at least, which isn't necessary in a game like TLOU)

I run 4K/DLAA on my TV and get around 80-100 fps, I don't think it looks oversharpened or grainy at all. I am actually quite mindblown by just how good it looks. Textures, materials, character models (facial detail especially), vegetation environments and even the baked lighting are all phenomenal. I think it lies somewhere in between being better than Dead Space (which looks fantastic) and a bit worse than Callisto Protocol (which runs worse) and Plague Tale 2 (runner up graphics king after Alan Wake 2)

Do you have film grain on 10? I lowered mine to 5. I think I it gives the game a perfect filmic look. From what I gather most gamers always put film grain to 0.

I hate film grain with a passion in my movies (I'm a videophile that only watches 4K blu ray discs) but for games that allow you to set film grain to 1-5 out of 10 I usually prefer a low setting, rather than turning off completely. If my choices are simply on/off I almost always turn off.

I think Sony's major exclusives all do this (TLOU, GOW, R&C etc)

As I sit 2.5-3m from my 77" the image doesn't get artefacts but just a thin layer that "covers up the dirt and lower res imperfections" (films are the opposite because they are not made of polygons and textures but actual real life... film grain does nothing but ruin a movie's picture quality, IMO. There shouldn't be anything to hide....)

Recently I bought the G8 (3440x1440p 21:9) monitor and I run settings a bit different. I do think it looks a bit oversharpened but that might just be due to the fact that I am sitting much closer to the screen and am running 1440p instead of 4K's 2160p. I might consider 5K2K DLDSR at a lower frame rate.

when on this monitor I get 120-140 fps in 1440p/DLAA and I turn down the film grain to 3. This way the image looks cleaner and the grain is practically invisible while still giving it a filmic look.

note that on both my displays I run 0 sharpening in the display settings. (default is often 5, 10 or even 20.)

TL;DR -turn of all sharpening, lower sharpening if using DLSS. try experimenting with DLDSR and try keeping film grain on 1-3/10 and see how it goes.

@Mozelleple112: he was standing outside your window

Pee Salty Seas. lol :P

Mad Magazine is a magazine that parodies films, TV shows, and popular culture.

@onesiphorus: My dad is often wrong

awwww yeahhh

Da Foliage back when PS3/360 games were being compared. If it mas missing Da Foliage it meant the system was trash!

Dad of War is a good one for the GoW reboot

No Man's Skyrim!

Did Kratos had a daughter (who is no longr alive) before having a son?
