I actually enjoyed scorn. It's almost jarring having zero promts compared with most games that have waypoints everywhere. You would have hated the middle of the game. Puzzles that take too long and really janky combat. The ending was actually sad in a way I can't explain. I liked the art style. It reminded me the space jockey from alien 1 the whole time
House of Ashes is like the only really good Dark Pictures Anthology game.
I just tried to record Ghouls 'n Ghosts last night and I couldn't make it past part way into the 2nd stage. Definitely a rage-quit moment. Good on you for pushing through on that one. I never want to see another bouncing skull turtle again.
I can’t believe you never beat any Ghouls and Ghosts games before. Too bad you got stuck with Scorn, look terrible to me, but at least you got to play through Rondo of Blood, I love that game. PC Engine for life man.
Sorry about your experience with "Scorn" but thank you for the warning; I will avoid it at all costs. You know "Lollipop Chainsaw" is kinda like a horror game. Just sayin'.
Oh you dont like Scorn…. that means I'm gonna have to do absolutely nothing.
I only played Scorn because it was on Gamepass,happy to say i didn't pay for it.
Well at least Scorn can be resold to get most of your money back. 🙂
Luckily this was on Game Pass so I could see it was a nope for me w/o having to buy it.
Where can you get that roulette wheel? That would make picking a game to play so much more interesting.
25:25 the image of the blond woman from the opening scene was one of the screenshots EGM used when they previewed the game, & I was wanting to play it so bad but 1. the SNES version was different & 2. no one in southern IL ever carried it that I was aware of.
The Metro sequals are better especially exodus. It takes place primarily above ground.
Metro Last is awesome… pretty sure the filter thing is still there though.
Another great video brother! I beat the first two Metro games earlier this year and really enjoyed them both. I heard the third game in the series is more open world so I’m a little scared to try that one! 😂
I bought scorn because of the Geiger aspect of it, and when i first saw the trailer i was like wow…this looks crazy. I never got 10/10 vibes from it, and never expected it to be anything groundbreaking. I wanted to more or less appreciate the artwork and design of it. The game art and steelbook alone look so awesome. Granted I have yet to play it because my backlog is way too long, but I will eventually 😅
Scorn was good, definitely not for everybody
Hey RNG. Idea for a video. I was going thru my games catalogue and was looking at 007 for N64. Anyway my idea is games that inspired co-op and multiplayer and friends hanging out all night. Example my friends and I as teens would lay WCW vs NWO for hours and 007 Goldeneye was infamous for wanting to play with friends. I also remember standing at an arcade line for mortal Kombat and this kid Peter was dominating the second joy stick. We would pump in quarter after quarter trying to knock him off his pedestal of triumph. But no one ever did no matter how hard we tried, he was champ of that arcade cabinet. I don't know where this came from just had to share.
Rondo of Blood is fantastic! Not just one of my top Castlevania games but one of my top games in general
I cant remember if the first Metro had the option but you can Craft Filters in your backpack which helps tremendously 👍
Metro can be a pain in the ass. In the 360 version I had the game keep crashing ontop of everything else. That's when I learned that there is atleast a chapter select, and restarting the stage through that can fix some of those issues (running out of masks, glitches,etc). The filter concept was interesting but I found it to be more of a nuissance when dealing with unclear navigation. I believe I also started on one of the harder modes, as usual. I believe ammo scarcity was an issue on the harder setting. That added to the frustration of the game crashing, limited filters and getting lost, etc.
Scorn is a phenomenal game.
Those Metro games are bad, just brutal, I couldn't play them for long.
Lol I love scorn but mostly for the art. It definitely feels incomplete and its not for most people but I loved it. Its more like a walking simulator with some combat and a weird story.
Metro 2033 is a great survival horror game.
I respect your Scorn review. I honestly love the game. I played it at least four times in a row. I also play it a few times a month. As a VFX artist I am always finding something new to see. I think the world is a beautiful mix of H.R. Giger and Beksiński. I bought the artbook which explains a lot about the lore of the game world. As for Metro Exodus. The series so far is mostly cool. The one thing I do not like about the Metro games are how they penalize you for too many kills. You get the bad ending if it's too high. Out of the three Metro games so far, I really enjoyed Exodus and the DLC's it had.
The Hans Giger Reference!! Respect, Sunday school Teacher.. You inching into my top ten favorite gaming channels. Love your content, brother..
I bought scorn because the art style appealed to me. Its different than anything ive played before. But after playing for a few hours i just felt gross. A video game shouldnt make me feel like i need to take a shower.
The Human Centipede was at least darkly comedic unlike Scorn…lol! You need to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R, it really makes you fight for survival.
Scorn reminds me of the game Agony. Have you played that one? I haven't played either one and I don't plan to. Agony got really crappy reviews too.
I think scorn might be a skill issue that game is so freaking original. In a world of copy and pasted bs
Holy cow. I never noticed your boxed PC game collection. Very impressive! That could make for great content.
I enjoyed the Metro series of novels, and liked the world of the games, but I found the need to change my mask filters so annoying. It basically discourages the player from exploring because masks/filters run out quickly
It's an anthology.. not serialized. Serialized is the exact opposite of the point your trying to make.
Your Scorn review just made me buy it! Just my kind of game! It looks like a masterpiece! Thanks mate!
Love these videos my guy! Do you trophy/achievement hunt in games that have them? Or beat them and move on?
all great picks! Anyway in my op. games that make the player feel involved in the suffering of others are NOT sadistic games. Sadistic games are games like 1st person shooters where u kill everyone like it was nothing and u don't feel one bit guilty for it, u are completely oblivious of the npcs' feelings and pain. Scorn for me is the opposite of sadistic… also interesting in many ways tho, as u say, it is not a masterpiece obviously.
Scorn isn’t a terrible game it’s even worse it’s a game that’s only good thing is it’s h.r. Geiger art and even then it feels like a crappy version of it
Every game on this list is still better than Diablo 4 and DA veilguard 😖😖😖
Great video
Alright am i one of the few people that liked scorn?
So you're live streaming starting this Friday & every Friday that follows now?
Yes sir. Horror games and movies can be fun, but torture games and movies aren't fun. That's the problem with newer Mortal Kombat games and a reason I don't play them. The fatalities used to be about ending your opponent. Now they're about the most disgusting way you can torture them to death. I don't want to be involved with that. 😎
It’s disappointing that Scorn isn’t that great. This lines up with a review I heard. I’ll eventually get around to that game, same with Metro. I want to play that series soon.
