My review of Scum after 10,000 hours.

[Butcher-Scorpion]

Thankyou Tomislav and team.
Scum is an amazing game.
I started when it first came out,and still enjoying every moment.

even 0.8 ? really?

That's the really bad thing about all this. SCUM is still a great game, even after all the recent changes.
But the devs are simply not willing to listen to suggestions on changes the game really needs going forward.

[Butcher-Scorpion]

Every update.good or bad. who can match the metabolism, in any other Survival game.maybe in the future they will catch up.

[Butcher-Scorpion]

Tomislav is a genius.

Perhaps they don't agree with the suggestions, or they have something else in mind down the line. There's a lot of things I don't like, like the base building, the nerfs to fortifications, the amount of build&raid gameplay, the recent changes to the explosives, but I'm just one person. The devs are trying to steer the middle lane toward 'their' game, and they're the only ones that get the full scope of everyone's feedback. What 'the game really needs' is a variable that changes with every player, and in the end it's the devs project.

I'm at 7900 hours and still having a great time, even with the things I don't like.

i don`t have that many hours in game only about 2600 approx but if i could i would go back to 0.5 and keep playing that version of scum in single player, sure some of the new clothes are nice to look at, but sambor the other new city and everything else added since then i could enjoy scum more if it wasn`t in the game, but melee did work better back then and even the puppets where better back then, i want to believe that after 1.0 scum will get better and for some players it will however for me and some players like me it won`t get better, but other games are improving so maybe by then i`ll have something else to invest my time in.

This 100%

I have 12,0000 hrs. The game is better than ever in my eyes. The recent updates have renewed my interest in the game. Are there things I don’t like, sure. Like the poster said above base build balancing needs work. I don’t even bother with it right now and I love base building, but I think that will work itself out in the future. Im more confident than ever that the dev team will realize their vision and make the best survival game on the market.

It seems like a lot of the critics aren’t actually interested in survival. Especially when you see people complaints about things like the availability of vehicles etc.

Thank you for the kind review Butcher-Scorpion!

I know it sometimes may not seem that way, but be assured that we are trying to read all of your feedback and suggestions (there is so many of you wonderful guys and not a lot of us haha). A lot of the things players suggest does get implemented in the game, we do write down and keep track of player wants and suggestions (the excel spreadsheet is getting quite big!) and look to put something that you guys want in every patch.
