So Two Main Areas were Cut?... Lazy Development after Years???

[Dans_Tip]

Reading the Artbook The Tower and "THE BLASTED LABYRINTH" were cut from the game... because "The second planned location to fall out of
favor during Scorn’s development was
the Tower. " How does a place IN DEVELOPMENT, LEGIT THE MAIN PLOT OF YOUR STORY "fall out of favor." Defend the devs all you want, but your wrong if you do. Over all these guys formed a good money grab, they could have PUT WAYYY more effort into the game and not have scammed all of their backers. Good thing I wasn't one of them. 3/10 on this game for me. ALSO why the F%%K would you add a choice to kill or "spare" the Mold Man if it doesn't change the outcome of the protagonist in anyway??!?? That's JUST LAZY and BAD writing.

and yes they cut A LOAD of creatures and potential enemies from the game, not that the gun play would have done anything for you to have a chance at killing them, let alone being able to even dodge your foe lmao.

Large amounts of cut content and ideas is common in media industries.
It sucks but sometimes they just don't have the time or money left, half of FF8 was cut, a large chunk of Halo 2 was cut, a lot of Halo Infinite was cut, KoTOR II had an entire planet and plot point cut and you'd probably have an aneurysm if you saw the stuff cut from Blizzard titles.

That's a fair one, but without Dialogue, cutting two main essential parts out of Scorn, that effects the game play itself and the main story, is just telling me how lazy some Devs can be. Especially for having the world record of longest game in development now. lmao. Nobody should have to go back on the concept art and story art book, just to understand the game that you paid for. Not that I don't like reading, but most people didn't pay for a game to read most of it, rather than experience it first hand ( In the game, first person wise ).

I agree, i don't mind reading things in game or listening to audio logs but expecting me to pay for out of game content just to know story framework, etc, is stupid. Remember when 343 did that with Halo 5? They were ridiculed for it but for some reason there's a lot of people defending it with this game and telling people to buy the artbook lol.

Ya I never understood why so many people supported Halo 5, never made sense to me. I over all just ignored the trend and didn't even buy the game. Then again I tried Halo infinite and that was also disappointing lol.

I always tought scorn will be a more ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up resident evil and when i saw it in streams it felt more of a puzzle/ running simulator. Kinda sad gunplay looked so "good" was perfect for the game and also the story was "dark souls" like which i liked but it was so short there where no " alternative endings" or something truly outstanting besides the look and thats for me not enough to justifie 40€ for me. Theres a lot of wasted potential

The devs made the right decision in cutting those areas from the game, since they don't jive as well. Plus, it would've made the game too long. Scorn was quite disturbing and it ended at the right moment.

If you can't take the game, don't play it, some people don't have the stomach for wet wear Tech

Same here, the game was just a huge let down and felt very empty. I wasn't even sad for the Characters/Humanity, but the fact they cut important content out, and essential game play elements to the story.

What makes the cut content important, and which essential gameplay elements to the story did it take away?

I'm just saying, it lasted almost 11 hours for me.

Like did you go afk? How duuu hell did it last you that long, I completed the game in one sitting. Honestly I'll message back in two days, because this convo alone is just so low for my intellect, I might lose brain cells. or Gray matter, lmao. I'm sorry but its fairly obvious why cutting out two main section in your visual story, with no dialog, JUST MIGHT be important. Now I'll let you do your own research, I only share my knowledge for the worthy people in my life.

I've seen the art book, and it's not important. The devs themselves say it's not important - that's why they cut it. It wasn't going to add any more to the story or the game mechanics.

Also makes sense you'd finish it in one sitting and then cry about stuff that got cut out... You weren't paying attention nor using your imagination much. Not very indicative of high intellect.

Cut content is a rather unfortunate but all too common theme with video games these days, hell the one I still obsess over a bit are the cut enemies and other assets for Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal.

I'd hope they would perhaps make a "Director's Cut" version of the game and/or just make the removable parts playable as "DLC Chapters" in their own isolated merit instead of being forced into the main game.

But who knows really and with how often the devs tend to speak it'll be all a kind of mystery be it they work on a new IP or still support Scorn in some way.
