Meat Engine: What if Scorn was GOOD?

[@CyrodiilCome]

Damn all 6 scorn players are gonna come out hiding for this

[@MadManDan]

They came out swinging, this thread is a stormhead for the trve scorners.

[@amelioravictoriadionyssia3323]

Scorn wasn't a game, it was the band Tool (which is just Tien Shinhan using the body division technique) trying to make a music video and then forgetting to write a song for it

[@SanicConnoisseur_91]

The title doesn't lie, it really feels like this is trying to be a real video game, not some obscure art piece in a museum.

[@foxtrox1887]

Thanks for playing the game and making a great video! Thanks for the feedback you gave. :)

[@naughtyhieroglyph669]

The problem with games like this, and we see it at the 25min mark, is you end up in gross orifices looking for secrets...

[@quint3ssent1a]

Scorn's real downside was that second half of the game was better than what was at the start. Walking become more intense (need to constantly remove cancer overgrowing your limbs), there was a genuine fight sequence where you need to defeat fetus robots to scavenge their fetuses and then pressing the fetus juice out of them, and the ending itself was almost mesmerizingly macabre... Level design was also leagues better, with cool damaged metropolis (with ridiculous phallic statues) instead of grimy industrial corridors of the first half of the game.

Good to know I ain't the only one who uses their spine as defense against... Wait what?

[@korblborp]

"the problem with scorn is that it advertised itself as a shooter, and then it was a puzzle game" no actually it was kind of the opposite. it WAS "honest about what it was", a fairly slow-paced atmospheric thing that happened to be first-person and occasionally have some shooting, this was clear from the earliest trailersa and alpha demo videos, and for some reason a lot of people tricked **themselves** into thinking it was gonna be all boomershootery.

[@SardonicCrows]

I actually thought Scorn was best when it wasn't trying to be gamey and just let you walk around experiencing hellworld

[@amelioravictoriadionyssia3323]

It's not Hell though, it's just a representation of birth and the decay that follows. Thematically, Scorn represents the futility of life and the drive to survive and how it ends up alienating us from our environment. The reason the world looks like meat is because this represents how mankind is truly one with nature and the denial of this inherent symbiotic relationship is what causes mankind suffering. The more he separates himself from the environment, the more he suffers because he is separating himself from reality itself. And when one fails to realize that the world around them is experiencing the same suffering, that the entire world is also experiencing the decay of its "meat" or the anguish of being eaten, they forget the compassion which is oh-so-necessary for civilization

[@SardonicCrows]

@ oh I know it wasn’t actually hell, I meant that more as a general description of the vibes. I love your interpretation though!

[@JanJansen985]

​@@amelioravictoriadionyssia3323 i dont think anybody liked that game

[@ninochaosdrache3189]

Maybe, but then whats the point of a game when there is no gamey side? Just make a movie at that point.

[@SardonicCrows]

@ninochaosdrache3189 a movie wouldn’t be the same thing either, the fun of scorn is getting to explore at your own pace and occasionally cracking open a torture egg

[@OptifexMusic]

Honestly the game seems more like if ultrakill was set in a Tool music video. (Admittedly scorn was a walking simulator set in an objectively better Tool music video)

[@SAYHI2JAMMY]

7:23 the movement is crazy

[@DisgustingJustinAD]

I have memories of the McRib having more sauce than meat.

[@dubblejumpchump]

Scorn was a cinematic adventure, and i enjoyed it. Maybe if they added bionicles you would have too 😅

[@The_Hell_Lord]

why are the good games the shortest videos?

[@5minutemovies977]

So it doesn't spoil too much and you can play it yourself

[@Novgord98]

I liked Scorn: it had lots of potential conceptually and story-wise, it' s the mediocre gunplay that really undercut it.

[@breaudamn9272]

This game kinda feels like if doom took place exclusively in Morrowind tombs. 4/10 not enough deadra

[@Non-StickPan]

To be honest, I actually like Spartan Ops more than Infinite's campaign just because the maps are more driveable and you get to have a tank/wraith/mantis like every other level lol

[@TheJodyhicks]

I liked Scorn.

[@kapral_v5891]

Star Wars mentioned

[@connorbutters8479]

You should go to that delta force tournament but do it dressed like Jessup

[@CreativeUsernameHere-r1k]

Scorn was a vibe ab experience , but not a game hope it gets a sequel. As does this

[@gregaberor]

I think an online delta force fps would be more fun if it was exclusively objective based. Black hawk down is the best one.

[@TravisMasters-tx9kz]

This isn't better than scorn it was never about the gameplay it was more about the atmosphere and also scorns guns looked way better when reloading because you slowly have to pull apart the gun to put the teeth in the holes

[@opienico]

sup

[@_-ghostfps-_8651]

I disagree with everything you say about scorn but i love ya either way

[@DoraTheExplosion31]

oh god i hate scorn even ubislops feels more like a game than that wet garbage

[@5minutemovies977]

Bethesda-published or developped games are very greedy performance-wise so that people can't play them to see how bad they are.

[@ezzy384]

Expecting something to be something it was never going to be doesn't make the thing bad

[@5minutemovies977]

But if a something is advertised as being one thing and is something else, people will rightfully be annoyed and feel cheated.

[@madduckling4436]

but people have tastes and opinions and people find things good and bad , your logic works a little against you just because you find something good doesn't means its good...
