    Welcome to the Abyss is using the dictionary definition of the word abyss:
    a deep or seemingly bottomless chasm.
    Example: <looking down at the dark ocean from the ship's rail, the cruise passenger felt as though he was staring into an abyss>
    and not a reference to the 1989 movie titled The Abyss.

    Welcome to the Abyss sounds better than Welcome to the Huge, Seemingly Bottomless, Dark Hole that is Under Water.

    There is a difference between two things sharing a common English word, and one thing that was intentionally designed to mirror another.

    that is a well known xbox specific Problem. ist not Trials that is too dark, ist xbox platform. it has something to do with rgb range, which leads to crushed blacks and all.
    But seems MS cant be arsed to fix it..

    Yes, my title is not a reference to the film The Abyss / or even Alien's .... because my title is a reference to the Queen elizabeth II .. do not put the angry queen ... I guess, was essential ...

    ahaha ... a joke more

    Maybe one day I can be knighted by RL .... hahaha ... and my body will be that day weightless

    in the meantime, if you do not listen, the boat sinks into the abyss ... and the game too ...
    there is greater world ....
    there are not many creators of " world "

    References or "nods" to other things are great fun and show appreciation to subject matter that you find interesting.

    You had a 40ft tall Alien queen with a ton of eggs at the end of your track, that isn't a subtle nod or hint, that's a 40 foot tall Alien queen. It's a bit more involved than a DLC that has a solitary word in common with a movie and the argument that they are similar is tenuous at best. I am now 100% sure that the two of you are just arguing to cause drama.

    I invite you to view the forum rules, specifically the ones about Trolling as posted here.

    Here's the spot I was looking at.

    Causing disturbances in forum threads, chatrooms or gamelobbies, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters
    Making posts designed to or likely to get inappropriate responses.
