It what I always wished BF would be.

I ENJOY IT A GOOD BIT

So i really want to like Scum, but ive just not had any really enjoyable experiences in game on single or multi player. Spend tons of time running around getting geared and then you end up falling off a ladder cause your guy needs to pee, and literally lets go of the ladder to do so, making you fall to your death. I though this game mechanic BCU monitor would be interesting buts its really just annoying imo. Then it seems theres hardly any servers that are populated. You find a populated server, you play on it, head to one of the battle zones marked on the map, desperatley hoping to finally get some pvp combat and when you arrive theres nobody there, or the combat zones moves right as you get there, after you just spent forever trying to get there. I will continue to play in hopes that I finally find some action, but in 79 hours of playing, most of it on pvp servers, ive not once found combat or found other prisoners. Ive found tons of un-occupied bases, player built bases, but nobody is ever around. Its really hard to get into it, when it feels like everything you do is for no reason. Like you try to collect up the right things to craft a base, but without a group its pretty much pointless because the amount of materials needed. You try to collect weapons and armor, have medical supplies, but its pointless because you never run into other prisoners, never givin a reason to need to use them. The survival aspect is not even close to being enough imo to keep someone playing purely for that purpose, its boring af. The world seems extremely empty to me as well with huge amounts of empty forest in between tiny villages and towns, sure that gives space to build but as far as ive seen nobody builds that much, the majority of open empty space just is a nuisance if anything. You could say it adds realism, sure, it does, but is it fun to spend hours running through an empty landscape, that all looks the same? no. not imo. You could argue theres different biomes, but everything within those biomes looks the same. The buildings, the bunkers, the puppets, all lacking in creativity. The only place in game ive found that had unique buildings and whatnot, was the ONLY big city in the game. Which is a pretty cool area but quickly loses its intrigue after you spend a bit of time there. As you move from huge apartment building to huge apartment building, you realize there all the same. The city seems to be scarred from some type of conflict that happened there, but the game gives no clue as to what it could have been. I highly doubt its the puppets that caused the destruction because they are controlled by an AI, for the use in the gameshow. They are not zombies, so there was no "outbreak" to cause the damage. Anyway i just am REALLY STRUGGLING to get into Scum. Its been nothing but frustrating and boring, I desperately want to have a good time playing, like times ive had in dayz, but ive not had a single experience that i would considered even slighly enjoyable which is extremly unfortunate. Buy the game if it looks good to you, but just keep in mind that you will spend countless hours just collecting supplies only to more then likely lose it all because something ridiculous will happen, like your character needing to poo or pee while climbing a ladder, or you go down a flight of stairs to fast and go flying off the side of the staircase to your doom. Also the BCU monitor seems to be broken, If your character gets to the point of starvation, it seems impossible to bring them back from it. Sometimes no matter what i eat/drink my character just stays starving even if all the levels are fine. lll eat and the BCU levels nutrition meter will rise, but then it drops extremely quickly back to zero. for example the sugar levels, it seems impossible to keep your characters sugar at adequate levels, also same with sat fats, and carbs. Those three things seems impossible to keep at adequate levels leading to your character starting to lose strenght or get sick, lose dexterity any number of effects can happen. In my experience the gist is eat food, then look for more food to eat, rinse and repeat, till dead. Respawn, eat, rinse and repeat, is the name of this game.

Edit: I actaully just redownloaded scum pretty recently, only to be reminded why i deleted it in the first place. Im gonna give it some more time like i said, but im not optimistic about it at all, and will probably just end up deleting again pretty soon.

Another edit: Scum has grown on me some. My initial review I did not recommend Scum. I do now. They've changed up the BCU, where when you are lacking sugar and carbs, it doesn't effect you as quickly as it used to. Meaning you would start losing strength, dexterity, conditioning, immediately. Not having sugar and carbs would quickly lead to death. Not necessarily from lack of food but the ridiculous effects that took hold from lack of food. Like it would take your stamina way down, where you couldnt run or fight effectively, an you'd get killed by puppets cause you literally couldn't fight back or run away. The other things iv'e mentioned can still happen just as easily as they did before, like falling to your death cause your character lets go of ladder to pee. Ive just been more aware of that fact and always pee and poop before climbing ladders or going into anywhere I might have to run away from puppets. Many of the things I didnt like before I think I can see past. PVP is still hard to come by. Ive just only killed my first player a couple days ago, and had my first run in with other players a few days before that and thats with like 90+ hours in game. So, PVP is still just as uncommon, in my experience. Tho that one encounter, where i killed my first player was SO INTENSE. I loved it. He ambushed me, in the darkness of night, he was on top of some catwalks, he shot me a few times but i had body armor and he was only using a pistol. I caught a quick glimpse of him above me, i sprayed a whole ak mag in that direction. I was limping and moving very slowly, non of my ak rounds connected. I turned around to run, cause I didn't know where he was, but I knew he was still above me. I quickly realized I was moving too slowly as he started to shoot at me again, the only way out was to turn back and fight. I pulled out the Block(Glock 45.) and caught another glimpse of him, he was standing there in the open, trying to get a shot on me. It was dark, so we both were having trouble seeing. I could only see his silhouette, I took aim and emptied the mag. Needless to say, he was dead. It was a very tense encounter, where quick thinking saved my ass. And i loved every second of it.

i think its a great game. i havent played pvp yet but i really enjoy the coop. EXTREMELY fast paced at times which can really get the heart pumping. Good game.

its pretty intense and fun when you and your squad are invading a town, with tanks covering you and choppers flying around over head firing missiles at ground targets, paradropping, fast roping out of choppers its pretty cool the game types and mod community make it awesome.
