Scorn flops with 4/10

https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/scorn-review-pound-of-flesh/1900-6417976/

What say you fellow SW friends? Are you going to still give the game a chance? I can’t see giving it the time of day, even free on Game Pass.

Looks nice though 🤷‍♂️

GP so I'll at least try but that last Bad bullet point... Yikes!!! That happens and it's a never try again.

It was never looking good to begin with.

Free on GP, so I won't lose much. Still gonna try it out. Reviews are also opinion-based anyway.

I knew it would. Never liked this game...ewww

Wow, this was supposed to be the big GamePass banger to make up for Xbox’s lousy 2022. Enjoy, Lems!

Who said it was a banger? Outside of mild interest I never saw any real hype for it.

Skillup strongly recommended it, 7 at IGN and 8 at PC Gamer

Wowzerz, GS freaking mugged this game. That explains it, if a PS or Switch game, GS 8/10 on lock. :P

Ugh. The Xbox is such a disaster. Budget nonsense fills the console.

Might be good if GameSpot hates it.

Holy shit! And that was supposed to be the biggest game of the fall for Xbox. Looks like Scorn.... is Borin' 🤣🤣🤣

With GameSpot specifically a 4 can mean anything. Prey was also a 4 here.

I just won't play it straight ahead. Probably right after finishing Plague Tale.

I've only heard this game talked about on this forum, never outside of it. This was the "exclusive" game for Xbox for this fall? Up against the next mainline Pokemon games on Switch and God of War Ragnarok on PS5? lol

Looks like typical GamePass fodder, when is it coming to Switch and PS5

I thought Plagues Tale was the big Xbox exclusive this fall, not Scorn.

I am sure it won't take long to hit IndieStation Plus shovelware.

@kvallyx: That's a hard flop.

Oh, well.

@SolidGame_basic: It was never hyped as an "Xbox banger".

You're sounding like a troll.

Did anyone expect otherwise?

I guess you can say Xbox fans have been… scorned.

Plagues Tale is on everything isn't it? I just downloaded the first one on PS Plus earlier this year

LOL at Sony fannies claiming this game was supposed to be a banger or the biggest game this fall.😂

think this game would of reviewed better if it was a VR game.

Always felt it looked weird but I'll give it a go at some point.

Visible confusion

so right now gamepass is indiebox plus because its on there now?

again indie? most of ps plus(now) are ps3 and ps4 games.

gamepass has far more indie titles which is were indie titles should be on ps plus and gamepass.

because indie titles could be price to high for what is is.

more indie titles the better for both services.

you really need to look at the games on ps now as of late. I suggest you go home and look over the list of ps plus(now) games.

I was talking about Game Pass games this fall. Sorry.

@BenjaminBanklin: Biggest game of the fall?

Please provide some links that state that case.

Cows... smh.

No More Heroes 3 got a 4/10, and we all know how amazing that game turned out.

I have PS Plus. I am 100% aware of the games on there and all the shovelware.

why not? its the only xbox game in 2022 that is not on playstation.

other than grounded which did good.

but xbox fans praised it when it was first shown. then they went silent after a few more game play previews.

funny how silent xbox fans.

xbox fans sit there and praise gamepass over and over again yet never talk about the games that make it awesome.

Yeah that's about what I was expecting; been in development way too long with little to show for it, and the recent hype prior to release was forced and artificial.

Too bad, would have been nice to see a small studio really hit an anticipated title out of the park.

Ok so Prey actually got a 6/10 and it's from Tamoor, who I actually and truly respected.

please xbox fans praised this game when first previewed. then after a few more game play previews they went silent.

yet they turn around and say gamepass is awesome. so which games. then you hear crickets.

yea, and now metacritic is relevant to Lems 🤣

@gifford38: Yeah, it was praised when the first video came out, which is what happens with most games.

Yes, game pass IS awesome. One flop does not ruin a service. We just had Grounded release (8/10) and High On Life is next.

Xbox " bangers" this year were supposed to be Redfall and Starfield. These were just "also releasing" games.

so tell me which games does gamepass have that make it 100 times better?

which games stand out from

god of war, days gone, hzd, spiderman, returnal, demon souls, ghost, stray and more

vs

crack down 3, sea of thieves, halo, forza, grounded, scorn not sure what else.

sorry sony first party has it.

if someone skipped ps4 and xbox one which one would seem better to you? be honest

MIcrosoft is a dead system.

yeah I can't wait for fable and starfield.

Trust me I want xbox to get great games. I got a series s and Im a gamer first.

but xbox one was boring. the games were not 360 games.

xbox is in a great position to do great its just not there yet. to me sony has some great games that as of right now xbox can't compete with.

But that's just me.

@gifford38: @SolidGame_basic: Since no one ever consider making a Scorn hype thread, this wasn't a banger and as for me, I wasn't following this game given the fact it was most likely going to be another Agony situation.

A couple of hours into the game, is it the best game of the year? Far from it but am enjoying what I've played so far would probably go for a 6.5/7 out of 10. I do remember how cows said that days gone is a amazing and that only got a 5.

funny thing is I was hyped for this game. It was my halloween game. I wanted to have something to play on my series s. been playing hfw, and uncharted 2 bluepoint version.

I will still try it though.

This is why I don't mind waiting for exclusives to enter Sony's service. Games that have to sell are treated with more care. Enjoy the new business model Lems. It's okay because it's in Gamepass 🤡

That's a shame as I was a backer on Kickstarter. I will still play it for the art direction and atmosphere.

I saw you list this game a few days ago. It's okay because it's in Gamepass 🤡

Stop it. Lems have been listing this for the whole year. Obviously you guys were "excited" about it.

Normal people see trash but they probably think its gamepass goodness. 4/10 game for them is 9/10.

@sakaixx: 🤣

Which is why Xbots are so desperate for the ABK deal to go through. They want to keep games from Sony at any cost because all they have NOTHING to brag about. The state of Xbox is absolutely dismal

Honestly I was the only one showing interest by the game. I don't know where this crazy narrative that everybody was hyping it up. Even for the low SW standards just making things up and lying is kind of silly.

Anyway Skill Up strongly recommending it is a good indicator for me. He usually is spot on.

@R4gn4r0k: My bad my memory tricked me I thought it was a 4.

Well, those are some pretty sexy trash bins. Just sayin'.

Look at that trash overflowing...
