So glad I found your channel, finally a gamer with such a similar taste to mine. A hardcore gamer who actually appreciates casual difficulty. It’s like we put so much effort into exploring a wide range of games and squeezing the most fun out of them, without being overly sweaty try-hards. That’s something really hard to explain to people sometimes. It feels like we’re outliers, yet we have some of the most versatile gaming tastes. Incredible content-instant sub from me!
Thanks so much! I've always been shocked that people feel they have to define themselves as a type of gamer. "I'm hardcore," or, "I'm a cozy gamer." Why can't you be both!?! That's like saying, "I only eat Italian food... everything else sucks" So many missed opportunities for fun! I'm glad I could earn your subscription
Scorn is underrated - the combat is absolutely TERRIBLE and a few of the puzzles are a little too obscure, but the feeling that you describe is exactly what Scorn is going for...disgust, melancholy, guilt, loneliness. The worldbuilding is excellent and the game rewards attention.
Yeah, i can get behind that statement. The difference is that, "I have no mouth and I must scream" has a moral lesson it's trying to teach. Scorn just wants to shock you
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
I love House of Ashes and I'm so happy that you loved Salim as much as I did! I especially like his interactions with Jason and how their relationship builds over the course of the game. They literally go from enemies to best friends.
Is it because of his voice that you call him Sunday school teacher? He sounds like a southern pastor to me. (There's one pastor in particular from my childhood he sounds like, but I can't place it.)
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.
Me and some friends had a similar scorn-like experience with outlast trials! What started as a fun 4 player co op horror game...turned into untter depravity with the acts it forced you to complete in order the complete the levels. We eventually had enough and moved on....the fun was there but we just couldnt do it anymore.
I would not have even finished that first puzzle in Scorn. I felt a little dead inside just watching you go through it. Actually experiencing it first hand would have made me feel disgust and despair. And, for those who laude the game for “going for that feeling, and achieving it”: okay, but why would anyone want to feel that in a game? I don’t.
Scorn seems like a missed opportunity. It’s a very beautiful game in a lot of ways. They obviously worked hard on the visuals. But that’s the key! Great visuals without great gameplay is not a good game. The gameplay has to come first. And the violence and gross aspect is something that’s subjective. Some will be okay with it. Others will be sick. I appreciate yr honesty about how it affected you. ✌🏻
Thanks so much! I had so many comments saying they "love" scorn... but that the gameplay "sucked." I've played games like that before, but Scorn definitely wasn't one of them 😅
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! 😂
Thanks for watching!!! I'm glad to hear you had a good experience with the first two metro games. I am more interested now that you told me it's open world
I played an early build of scorn that was just broken that first puzzle was impossible because the levers for that console would either not work or put the guy in place the arms couldn’t reach the right way. I just gave up and got my money back. I tried restarting, reintalling forums nothing worked. I had no issue with the style or content, I played agony which was buggy as hell but it never stopped me cold like scorn did. Ended up just watching a lets play of it and honestly that was the way to. I;ve aged out of the Myst styled convuloted puzzles for the sake of them. It used to be to add longevity to games or even a back door source of income for the developers cough (sierra) cough. Once online help resources became the go to for gamers it had long be let go of in favor of some other aspect of gaming usual story. I’ve known many who can say they beat Myst but few who can tell me the story. And none for the sequels
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.
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.
@@RNGGamerYT Yea it was one of those games that I always took breaks from, forgot all the controls and mechanics when I came back. That never helped. I got jammed up in the newer one too, sold it and came back to it later.
Got excited when it almost landed on Doom 64. I picked up Doom 1/2/64 for black Friday sale. All are fun but 64 is the clear winner for me. Maybe the best Doom of all the Dooms old or new!
They first scorn trailer tricked a lot of people. Nobody thought it was going to be pretty much just a puzzle game. I had such high hopes for it and couldn't wait until it came out. Then I watched a couple of reviews and said nope. The sounds and setting are basically the only good things about it.
While I enjoy the art style and design of Scorn, even some of the gloominess of it. I like stuff that’s dark (some of my favorite things are WH40K and the Cyberpunk genre). But I don’t like to feel *mean* when playing games. And the gameplay of Scorn does not seem fun, and while I enjoy the art style like I said, the gameplay is what I play games for ultimately, and if you fail at that, you fail to grab my attention. I enjoyed hearing your opinions, as I believe everyone thinking differently about things is what makes all so unique as people, interesting watch! Enjoyed the video!
I don't have any interest in Scorn because I find grimdark settings to be kind of one note. For a minute there you actually almost got me interested in it though. The comparison to Myst carries very postitve connotations for me. Also I thought the game must have been emersive and really sold its atmosphere to get such an emotional reaction. Your final critique of the puzzles was the stake through the heart of my interest though, they HAD to make that good. Real quick: I notice you have Baulder's Gate 2 and Diablo 2 on the shelf. They came out about three months apart and that is such a good memory for me! I'm not sure two games of that quality have come out that close together since. Both titles still relevant to this day and probably going forward.
I've seen both of them at the top of several beat games of all-time lists. So, you might be onto something. 😄 The best i can think of was Portal 2 and Uncharted 3. They were about 6 months apart, I think. But that example isn't as good as yours
I've learned it takes serious consideration on if I'll play a game or not. They could seem cool as F but time and priority may never match up. I've bought too many "good" games I've never since touched. That has now changed with a more discerning buying mindset.
@MrSerpico145 yep I'm slowly but surely getting there. I'm 27 so the past 10 years I've just blew threw money collecting anything and everything. I finally realized I had a problem and needed to deeply consider what I buy from here on and make sure I'll actually play it.
I LOVED the Metro series. It might just be that I hadn't played a single player, story based FPS in a long time, but I found that I liked most things about it. I played on an easier setting (not a huge fan of limited ammo and having to search every box in a game), and just thought it was a fun series. I have never read the books to know how close the games are to that, but I thought the atmosphere was done well.
Okay if that’s original hardware for GNG then something is either wrong with cart, the system or the cables cause oh boy I played that back in the day and it didn’t look that green. Still beating in one go twice is epic even if you practice. Doing one your try is like….buy a lottery ticket luck. Damn very cool just found the channel liking what I see.
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.
Until Dawn is really good. House of Ashes is my favourite Dark Pictures game. Little Hope I liked too except the ending which really sucks. The other 2 are quite average. The Quarry is ok but tries to be too much like Until Dawn and fails
Love the dark pictures anthology. Although this one while we did play through it and tried to play through it again the second time around it just wasn't as impactful. I don't know if it was the story for me but it was only okay. Really happy I didn't pick up Scorn LOL. It sounds like a game that's just shock value for nothing. It's Madison all over again 😂😂😂 Ask for Castlevania rondo of blood. It's one of the ones I still haven't played. I love that you can save between levels. That'll be the reason I play it. I think I tried to at one point and got mad but I'll try again and see if I get mad again... Probably LOL😂
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 had such a fantastic aesthetic, but from what I hear and have seen, just wasn’t very interesting to play. That being said, it will always hold a special place in my heart as it was one of the last games my former partner was paying before passing away without having beaten it. I just can’t bring myself to play it and finish it in my partner’s honor.
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.
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.
Most of the people who seem to like scorn have a fascination with the art. I can see that. But for me, there had to be some worthwhile gameplay; and that just wasn't there for me. I am excited to try out the other metro games. It sucks the penalize you, though. I want to kill everything that moves
Great Video. I just bought the Dark Pictures Anthology collection from Humble Bundle 2 weeks ago. I can't attest to them, but I really enjoyed "The Quarry", which I completed last week finally. I stupidly let the lead character die because I tried diplomacy instead of shotgun.. guess shotgun wins!! Thanks 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.
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.
@@rickadams327 in Exodus you can craft filters, but the resource management is tight. What do you want, bullets, filters, or health? You have to choose, not enough resources to have it all. I think it was fair, without the scarcity the game would have been a cake walk on normal. The mechanic that bothered me was having to clean your weapons.
Thank you so much for speaking out about Scorn. Honestly I thought it was just me being totally disgusted by the game and feeling physically ill watching it. Thank God I watched a walkthrough before trying to hunt it down because I would've literally burned the game if had bought it. Honestly it gets worse as far as the grotesque torture stuff goes so you are lucky you stopped there. It actually feels like a truly evil game with zero to offer other than to make you feel as horrible as possible. Thanks for your honesty man, and screw the haters and anyone supporting that trash.
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.
I own a PC Engine copy of Rondo of Blood, one of my favourite games in my collection, such a great game. After playing it and trying to go to Dracula X on SNES is very hard, it’s nowhere near as good.
I played rondo of blood years ago, and recently tried again since I own the PS4 SotN/Rondo of Blood Requiem collection and man....that game is REALLY hard lmao. I might just suck but I don't remember struggling that much with any other Castlevania game. Maybe Castlevania chronicles on PSX...I remember that being hard too lol
C'mon Bro... 🤨 "He's going to abscond with your girlfriend/wife or your sister or whatever girl you're laying naked with in the grass it could have been your sister." - RNG Gamer 🤔 Yup, you sir are definitely from Alabama. 😂... 😹 *"NUFF SAID"™*
I thought you were gonna say House of Ashes was terrible and I couldn't have agreed more. That game was absolutely terrible! Scorn on the other hand I really like aside from the crappy puzzles.
MASSIVE respect for completing Ghouls n Ghosts on your FIRST try!!!!???? I know chat can help, but so much of that game is just REFLEXES... Fair play mate! ps I bet your evident disgust at Scorn actually helped it sell a few more copies... The human race is weird like that (!)
I like the general art and environments of Scorn, but i dont think id actually enjoy *playing* Scorn. Like Im fine with watching lore/speculation videos on it over playing it myself
@RNGGamerYT Yeah I agree with what you said about Scorn. It looks like its just gross for the sake of being gross. The game that I was talking about that I want to play is House of Ashes. I like the premise and the graphics look cool. I've checked it out and its only £12.00 in CEX so I've added it to my list.
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.
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.
You are lucky you gave up on Scorn that early. A bit later you are solving more insane puzzles while in combat with worse ammo than Resident Evil and you would love to have the aim accuracy of the original tank controls.
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'.
@@RNGGamerYT It is a good game worthy of a revisit. I could be a D-bag and demand you play horrible games just to torture you but that's not how I roll. Happy gaming RNG.
Ghouls and Ghosts in the Genesis is an amazing game. Not sure why all the colors look horribly whacked in your video. I used the infinite lives cheat to beat it as a kid cos old school cheat codes are awesome.
@RNGGamerYT haven't played the game in years but there are codes for Infinite Credits, Invincibility, Slow Motion and even a Level Selection option. Who needs game magazines anymore when you can just Google it now? I am curious to see if the codes embedded into the game will work with an emulated copy too. An "invincible" speed run might be fun. We need more cheat codes in modern games.
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. 😎
Love your video keep up the good work and your amazing love you forever and love you dude and your best RUclips channel ever love you and your so cool dude and your my favourite person ever love you so much
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
@@SilverSurfer17 same, I was lucky and got it when it first came out. A lot of people where I am at don’t really know current gen value so later on, after it spiked, I found another copy at GameStop for 29.99 and got it for my friend.
Managing bullets as money or using as actual bullets...then managing your gas mask filters, and lastly...managing your health. I am an ex-soldier and played Metro's games...You are WAY WRONG on this not being a survival horror. Especially Last Light.
It straddles that line. I think the lack of standard survival horror puzzles is what tips it over to the action side for me. Still, it's a really good game. Let's not let terminology get in the way of something we both enjoyed 😄
@@RNGGamerYT agreed...but puzzles have nothing to do with survival I also forgot that you have compress air to use air rifles, and light and then decide whether to 'survive' by using stealth which is what I used to avoid mass fire fights. Again using 'survival horror puzzles' here is just using a mechanic found in a lot of survival games aka silent hill....and most of these types you can't even be attacked while solving the puzzles (excluding newer silent Hill's and Alien Isolation for a few examples). Just my Opinion... enjoyed channel.
Yeah, it did. I don't know what you do for a living... but I've seen enough suffering and gore in my real life that I don't want to see games reveling in it like this
@@RNGGamerYT there are multiple ways to achieve every puzzle. That first one where you put the creature in the machine, you can free him instead of killing him and he helps you open the door.
The reason Metro Exodus (and the the rest of the Metro games) are scary as sh*t is because the horror is somewhat plausible. Supernatural horror just isn't scary. Devils? Demons? Grow up. You want something utterly terrifying? Try Plague Inc. The virus/bacteria simulator where you get to kill the world. Complete with politicians downplaying the threat. To americans (CoughCoughCovidResponseCough) it should be the scariest experience in the world. MWUAHAHAHAHA!
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
Yeah just watching the bits of scorn just made me unsettled. Just seems like gore🌽. I love horror and the macabre and gore but just torture for torture especially that graphic that's just too much.
So glad I found your channel, finally a gamer with such a similar taste to mine. A hardcore gamer who actually appreciates casual difficulty.

Scorn is underrated - the combat is absolutely TERRIBLE and a few of the puzzles are a little too obscure, but the feeling that you describe is exactly what Scorn is going for...disgust, melancholy, guilt, loneliness. The worldbuilding is excellent and the game rewards attention.
It's got plenty of attention!!! So many people in the comments said I convinced them to buy a copy 🤣
Scorn is a game in the vein of "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream." it is VERY despair inducing.
Yeah, i can get behind that statement.
The difference is that, "I have no mouth and I must scream" has a moral lesson it's trying to teach.
Scorn just wants to shock you
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
I'm happy you enjoyed it... it's in the running for my least favorite game of all time 🤣
I liked it too, I don't understand it, the art direction is awesome. I beat in one sitting.
It gave me a real sense of being in a truly alien environment. Totally alone with the cosmic horror of it all.Good times!
I also enjoyed scorn. Dude says he likes Geiger so I guess he just did not like the gameplay. I did not think it was shock for shock's sake at all.
I love House of Ashes and I'm so happy that you loved Salim as much as I did! I especially like his interactions with Jason and how their relationship builds over the course of the game. They literally go from enemies to best friends.
Yeah! He's an incredible character. They should 100% give him his own game
The Hans Giger Reference!! Respect, Sunday school Teacher.. You inching into my top ten favorite gaming channels. Love your content, brother..
Top 10!?! I'm honored. See you at Sunday school next week?
Is it because of his voice that you call him Sunday school teacher? He sounds like a southern pastor to me. (There's one pastor in particular from my childhood he sounds like, but I can't place it.)
Holy cow. I never noticed your boxed PC game collection. Very impressive! That could make for great content.
It's a modest collection! I do love it, though
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.
Exactly!!! It made me feel like a creep. I don't want to feel that way
I just finished metro exodus a few days ago. I enjoyed it, ammo was pretty tight, and had a few spots where I was super low on filters.
Nooooo! Don't tell me that 🤣
Me and some friends had a similar scorn-like experience with outlast trials! What started as a fun 4 player co op horror game...turned into untter depravity with the acts it forced you to complete in order the complete the levels.

I think a lot of people who enjoy games like this are just trying to feel... something. 😥
Scorn seems like a missed opportunity. It’s a very beautiful game in a lot of ways. They obviously worked hard on the visuals.

Dracula X is a reduced port of this game

It was something with my upscaler being stupid. It randomly fixed itself later. 🫠
Great video that dark pictures game looked good
Thanks for watching, brother!
Man, the war on terror could have been so much cooler.
Huh?
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.
I bet that image sold some copies!!! But yeah, the SNES version isn't supposed to be nearly as good
Seeing all this scorn hate makes me love it even more.
I'm glad you love it!!!
Until Dawn > The Quarry > all the rest of Supermassive games
I can't speak for The Quarry because I haven't played it yet. But I'm sure I agree with you 100%
I love those two games. I even double dipped on Until Dawn when the re released it on PS5!
Until Dawn is really good. House of Ashes is my favourite Dark Pictures game. Little Hope I liked too except the ending which really sucks. The other 2 are quite average. The Quarry is ok but tries to be too much like Until Dawn and fails
I have a hot take, Rush of Blood is their best game by a long shot.
@DrGamelove it's way up there!!! It's my second favorite VR game
Rondo of Blood is fantastic! Not just one of my top Castlevania games but one of my top games in general
It blew me away!!!
Love the dark pictures anthology. Although this one while we did play through it and tried to play through it again the second time around it just wasn't as impactful. I don't know if it was the story for me but it was only okay.
Really happy I didn't pick up Scorn LOL. It sounds like a game that's just shock value for nothing. It's Madison all over again 😂😂😂
Ask for Castlevania rondo of blood. It's one of the ones I still haven't played. I love that you can save between levels. That'll be the reason I play it. I think I tried to at one point and got mad but I'll try again and see if I get mad again... Probably LOL😂
I always love your comments!
I wish I had more time to reply but I'm dealing with a sick family.
Give Rondo of Blood another shot, but play as Maria!
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 😅
The art does look amazing... but art alone can't save it 🤣
@RNGGamerYT True, but I'll cope all the same haha
I hate those enemies on the NES and even on PS4 I really do I struggled allot to kill them on the NES 24:28
They are really tough
This took me like I think 3 tries to beat the boss fight 14:14
It took me more than that! 🤣
Scorn had such a fantastic aesthetic, but from what I hear and have seen, just wasn’t very interesting to play. That being said, it will always hold a special place in my heart as it was one of the last games my former partner was paying before passing away without having beaten it. I just can’t bring myself to play it and finish it in my partner’s honor.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I really am.
It wasn't a game for me, but keep it as a special place in your heart
Damn what a game to be playing when you about to go meet your maker
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.
I definitely got more Myst vibes that walking simulator
@RNGGamerYT I can see that. It has very obscure puzzles.
Can’t say I’m so surprised😬 24:13
Haha!
Great video
Thanks so much!!!
@RNGGamerYT , you're welcome
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.
Most of the people who seem to like scorn have a fascination with the art. I can see that. But for me, there had to be some worthwhile gameplay; and that just wasn't there for me.
I am excited to try out the other metro games. It sucks the penalize you, though. I want to kill everything that moves
Great Video. I just bought the Dark Pictures Anthology collection from Humble Bundle 2 weeks ago. I can't attest to them, but I really enjoyed "The Quarry", which I completed last week finally. I stupidly let the lead character die because I tried diplomacy instead of shotgun.. guess shotgun wins!! Thanks again.
I need to play the quarry! I'll remember shotgun! 🤣
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.
PC Engine for life!
I really think this will take me forever to pass it 11:05
You'll get there!
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.
Metro was worth it! Scorn... I'm still upset about playing that game
I cant remember if the first Metro had the option but you can Craft Filters in your backpack which helps tremendously 👍
You can't as far as I can tell
@RNGGamerYT Wasn't sure, I know Exodus does and it took me a while to notice lol🥴 Anyway love the Halloween list and YES SCORN SUCKS 👍
@@rickadams327 in Exodus you can craft filters, but the resource management is tight. What do you want, bullets, filters, or health? You have to choose, not enough resources to have it all. I think it was fair, without the scarcity the game would have been a cake walk on normal. The mechanic that bothered me was having to clean your weapons.
Thank you so much for speaking out about Scorn. Honestly I thought it was just me being totally disgusted by the game and feeling physically ill watching it. Thank God I watched a walkthrough before trying to hunt it down because I would've literally burned the game if had bought it. Honestly it gets worse as far as the grotesque torture stuff goes so you are lucky you stopped there. It actually feels like a truly evil game with zero to offer other than to make you feel as horrible as possible. Thanks for your honesty man, and screw the haters and anyone supporting that trash.
Yeah... it made me feel like a bad person playing it. I'm glad I'm not alone
Metro Last is awesome... pretty sure the filter thing is still there though.
I hear the sequels are a ton of fun! I can't wait to try them. Filter and all 🤣
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.
You make a fair point!
I still don't want to do it 🤣
There’s no way I can pronounce that in Japanese 10:07
It's so hard!
House of Ashes is like the only really good Dark Pictures Anthology game.
It's the best, for sure. They have all been pretty meh. I hope season 2 is better
Video dropped 4 minutes ago. Not cool to already have comments from 2 days ago :(
Oh well, First in another timeline!
Channel members get access to the videos early 😉
Oh you dont like Scorn.... that means I'm gonna have to do absolutely nothing.
You've been released from your obligation to buy it! 🤣
@RNGGamerYT 🫡
Those marsupial fpga systems are sold out, my wife was gonna get me one for Christmas but we were just a little too late
Did they really sell out!?!
Metro Exodus is one of my favorites ever.
I can't wait to play it!
Glad you played Scorn so we dont have to! It seems like some kind of torture playing that..
It was so much worse than I was expecting... it put me in a bad mood for days!!! Days!!!
I own a PC Engine copy of Rondo of Blood, one of my favourite games in my collection, such a great game. After playing it and trying to go to Dracula X on SNES is very hard, it’s nowhere near as good.
I knew it would be good... but I didn't know it would be THAT good.
Dracula X is in the backlog, too. I'll try to give it a fair shot
I played rondo of blood years ago, and recently tried again since I own the PS4 SotN/Rondo of Blood Requiem collection and man....that game is REALLY hard lmao. I might just suck but I don't remember struggling that much with any other Castlevania game. Maybe Castlevania chronicles on PSX...I remember that being hard too lol
C'mon Bro... 🤨
"He's going to abscond with your girlfriend/wife or your sister or whatever girl you're laying naked with in the grass it could have been your sister." - RNG Gamer 🤔
Yup, you sir are definitely from Alabama. 😂... 😹
*"NUFF SAID"™*
They didn't say it wasn't 🤣
I thought you were gonna say House of Ashes was terrible and I couldn't have agreed more. That game was absolutely terrible! Scorn on the other hand I really like aside from the crappy puzzles.
But the crappy puzzles are the WHOLE game 🤣
Where can you get that roulette wheel? That would make picking a game to play so much more interesting.
It's just a website called wheel of names!!!
17:50 I refuse to play this game because of this part. I wish this could be skipped.
It was so terrible... I hated it 🫠
MASSIVE respect for completing Ghouls n Ghosts on your FIRST try!!!!????
I know chat can help, but so much of that game is just REFLEXES... Fair play mate!
ps I bet your evident disgust at Scorn actually helped it sell a few more copies...
The human race is weird like that (!)
Lol... chat didn't help, they just taunted me the whole time.
I'm sure I'll cause scorn to sell a few more copies, unfortunately 🤣
Metro is definitely a product of its time, Metro Exodus feels so much better!
Thanks for letting me know! I can't wait to dive into it
It looks so like anime 27:07
Yeah, it definitely has high anime influences
I like the general art and environments of Scorn, but i dont think id actually enjoy *playing* Scorn. Like Im fine with watching lore/speculation videos on it over playing it myself
I feel the same way 😅
So you're live streaming starting this Friday & every Friday that follows now?
Right!!! This upcoming Friday at 7pm CST
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.
I'm on the fence about Stalker. I know the remake just came out
@@RNGGamerYT Not a remake, it's part 2. My PC won't handle it.
@mtaffer ah... that's right
YEAHHHH BUDDY
Yeah, buddy!!!
This game looks awesome. I wanna play it 💯❤️
Really!?! More power to you 🤣
@RNGGamerYT Appreciate you showing it. Never heard of it before.
@@RNGGamerYTI don't want to play Scorn. It's looks horrible. I think it would have the same effect on me.
@Kenno10rapid it's so.... so bad
@RNGGamerYT Yeah I agree with what you said about Scorn. It looks like its just gross for the sake of being gross. The game that I was talking about that I want to play is House of Ashes. I like the premise and the graphics look cool. I've checked it out and its only £12.00 in CEX so I've added it to my list.
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.
That's a good idea for a video!
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.
I'll just keep it like the terrible game addict I am 🫠
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 have it..... it's in my backlog. Buried deep 🤣
Alright am i one of the few people that liked scorn?
Apparently, tons of people loved it.... I'm not one of them 🤣
You are lucky you gave up on Scorn that early. A bit later you are solving more insane puzzles while in combat with worse ammo than Resident Evil and you would love to have the aim accuracy of the original tank controls.
I'm so glad you told me that 🤣
I only played Scorn because it was on Gamepass,happy to say i didn't pay for it.
I'm happy that you didn't pay for it, too 🤣
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'.
I love Lollipop Chainsaw! I played it when it came out
@@RNGGamerYT It is a good game worthy of a revisit. I could be a D-bag and demand you play horrible games just to torture you but that's not how I roll. Happy gaming RNG.
Ghouls and Ghosts in the Genesis is an amazing game. Not sure why all the colors look horribly whacked in your video. I used the infinite lives cheat to beat it as a kid cos old school cheat codes are awesome.
I didn't even know there was an infinite lives glitch!!!
@RNGGamerYT haven't played the game in years but there are codes for Infinite Credits, Invincibility, Slow Motion and even a Level Selection option. Who needs game magazines anymore when you can just Google it now? I am curious to see if the codes embedded into the game will work with an emulated copy too. An "invincible" speed run might be fun. We need more cheat codes in modern games.
Metro 2033 is a great survival horror game.
I enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
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. 😎
I agree!!! I don't mind violence. But it don't care for maling it gratuitous just for shock reasons
So how low must a game score for you to Yeet it out of the collection?
It has literally never happened 🤣
Love your video keep up the good work and your amazing love you forever and love you dude and your best RUclips channel ever love you and your so cool dude and your my favourite person ever love you so much
Love you, too! I'll keep putting them out if you keep watching
Lol, i like this guy
I like you, too!
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
They could never fully live up to the Geiger art style
Symphoney of the night on the ps1 is a continuation of rondo of blood
That's what I said in the video! It's also my favorite game of all time
At one point scorn was about 100 bucks…but VG reprinted it recently.
When I grabbed my copy, it was like $180 on ebay.... it never deserved a reprint 🤣
@ wait, you bought it for 180? Good god.
Im annoyed that a PS5 game had already reached above MSRP. I remember seeing that & I wanted to play Scorn. I have it but it’s still on the backlog.
@@SilverSurfer17 same, I was lucky and got it when it first came out. A lot of people where I am at don’t really know current gen value so later on, after it spiked, I found another copy at GameStop for 29.99 and got it for my friend.
Managing bullets as money or using as actual bullets...then managing your gas mask filters, and lastly...managing your health. I am an ex-soldier and played Metro's games...You are WAY WRONG on this not being a survival horror. Especially Last Light.
It straddles that line. I think the lack of standard survival horror puzzles is what tips it over to the action side for me.
Still, it's a really good game. Let's not let terminology get in the way of something we both enjoyed 😄
@@RNGGamerYT agreed...but puzzles have nothing to do with survival I also forgot that you have compress air to use air rifles, and light and then decide whether to 'survive' by using stealth which is what I used to avoid mass fire fights. Again using 'survival horror puzzles' here is just using a mechanic found in a lot of survival games aka silent hill....and most of these types you can't even be attacked while solving the puzzles (excluding newer silent Hill's and Alien Isolation for a few examples). Just my Opinion... enjoyed channel.
I'm glad I didn't buy Scorn. The rarity appeal almost costed me again.
It sure burned me!!!
The mega drive ghouls and ghosts was reprogrammed by sega....its easier than the arcade version...a really great version
Yeah! It's much easier... and honestly, a little bit more fun
Does he do livestreams ?
I stream right here on youtube every Friday night at 7pm CST
Scorn was good, definitely not for everybody
Seems like people either love it or hate it!
The Metro sequals are better especially exodus. It takes place primarily above ground.
Thanks for letting me know! I can't wait to play them
@RNGGamerYT p.s. sorry you had to play Stife 😆 That game is like stubbing your toe while hung over.
Your Scorn review just made me buy it! Just my kind of game! It looks like a masterpiece! Thanks mate!
No......... 🤣
Those Metro games are bad, just brutal, I couldn't play them for long.
The first one took a little bit to get used to. After you get the swing of things, it's not too bad 😄
@ I was so confused, the games look really good but the controls and gameplay was not what I was hoping for, very off.
The torture and gore in scorn made you upset? 😂 really?? Lmfao
Yeah, it did.
I don't know what you do for a living... but I've seen enough suffering and gore in my real life that I don't want to see games reveling in it like this
Scorn is a phenomenal game.
What!?!
@@RNGGamerYT there are multiple ways to achieve every puzzle. That first one where you put the creature in the machine, you can free him instead of killing him and he helps you open the door.
The reason Metro Exodus (and the the rest of the Metro games) are scary as sh*t is because the horror is somewhat plausible. Supernatural horror just isn't scary. Devils? Demons? Grow up. You want something utterly terrifying? Try Plague Inc. The virus/bacteria simulator where you get to kill the world. Complete with politicians downplaying the threat. To americans (CoughCoughCovidResponseCough) it should be the scariest experience in the world. MWUAHAHAHAHA!
You're not wrong!!!
Did the covid vaccine stop you from getting covid like the government Said it would.
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
Exactly!!! Don't make me rush through the world you created
Its called immersion
Yeah just watching the bits of scorn just made me unsettled. Just seems like gore🌽. I love horror and the macabre and gore but just torture for torture especially that graphic that's just too much.
Exactly!!!
@RNGGamerYT hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Also I take my state board test Tuesday praying I pass it.
