This video is justifying why your community respects you bro

I’m all for cosmetic DLCs but when the game is drowning with bugs from years ago and still hasn’t been fixed! That’s an issue

I used to run a pretty popular SCUM server before they took the planes out, they drove me to DayZ, no plans to go back. I could easily be the guy you're talking about because that's what happened to me, he blocked me. I may have had a different name with a certain "unlucky" number in it.

i love scum but almost all the content creators do not actually have knowledge like a veteran scum player does. So many of the content creators for scum just love drama and validation. We need more kings like you and casual who actually do good for the game and do not just blindly follow the devs. These devs are some of the best devs ive ever seen, I feel bad for them that they made the decision to partner with jagex.

I was at the D4 airfield the other day... And I was appalled.... So they have just thrown a BUNCH of bushes all over the place to be able to hide puppet spawns and spawn them near you. I used to love the D4 airfield :(

I personally enjoy it but find it overly complex to the point everything is annoying to do which just makes me go back to 7 days to die or zomboid.

The removal of animals (without playing a dumb mini game) and the pop in zombies that spawn in a few feet from you killed the game for me. The world feels lifeless and dull in a way it didn't before and all the planning in the world means nothing in the face of these nonsensical spawns. Hopefully, the devs can turn things around, but I'm not coming back to this game until/if the glaring issues are addressed in a meaningful way

You can’t see animals but you have to make sure you use bathroom

Thanks for the video. When it went on sale on Steam, I was looking at the DLC and my first thought was. WTF??? Why would I care about that stuff, and why do the Devs? Thank you for saving me $23.37. Keep telling the truth. Mad Respect

They gatekeep!!! Everyone knows that at this point lmao

i played every major update from 0.4 up until the puppet spawns drastically changed. the way they take 2 steps forward, 1 step back with every update was frustrating to play through all the time but i really liked the potential the game has so i put up with alot of those issues. but once the puppet spawn changes happened, that was enough to fully drive me away. it sucks, some days i was one of the only streamers playing that game daily and i was always rooting for it. but after almost 1k hours, optimism kinda started to go away. i genuinely hope when 1.0 happens and mod support comes in, modders will take the game to a better state. thats the only way i see many people like myself play the game again. good video, i actually found you through other videos of yours but im glad i caught this one.

I didnt really see this video as a good review of the game . I was expecting some actual footage of whats wrong with the game. You showed only cinematics and you spent 4-5 minutes of the video talking about other content creators shaming you for your previous review and a Dev banning Casual Wardaog on Twitter? I would encourage you to play the game and record some footage of what you think needs to be improved. Cause i do agree that the game has issues, but i dont see the DLC's as a relevant argument for Scum's progress. Scum got bought up by Jagex so its natural they want to earn some money, which would be DLC's. One thing that needs to be improved is the horde system like you said, but that would be one of the few things i saw as good critique Stay positive bro👍

With the horde and the spawn system they messed up bad. So bad that I stoped playing. So bad that I never bought any useless DLCs because I hesitate supporting a project what is going clearly in a very wrong direction. Removing content to replace it with broken content is not ideal. As a PvE player I went further and I play other games now. I have no hopes that the SCUM Devs might fix all the problems. Maybe they are not even really interested into fixing it.

SCUM devs seemed to almost listen to the community too much. Instead of focusing on their core vision they started catering to these requests for kind of obscure and overly punishing hardcore survival features. EA development is fragile and as soon as they start going out of their way for small and highly specific feature requests things tend to get spaghetti coded. Over time the core gameplay suffers because the devs get too far ahead of themselves. Theyre creating what should be near release features way too early.

I got this game the day it came out. Loved it. Have over 5000 hours. My mates stopped a long while back. Sadly I can’t play it anymore. It’s not the game that it once was. It was FUN.

03:44 is that PLAYER... WarDog? :)))

your voice is claiming and you have a way to keep me intrested in videos so i sub and going to start watching alot of videos

I know this video is a month old and this the first ive seen of your videos, but yea man it still rings true right now. The game really changed around the .8/jagex buyout. Beda with his leaks got a virtual gag and it seems the direction of the game just took a nose dive in the wrong direction. Good video man.

I 100% agree. It breaks my heart what Scum is today. I've always been against mods for Scum, but I have to say that mods will probably save it. I've invested over 4K hours in this game, and you are right Scum 'is just not the same'. It's ruined at the moment, not only because of mechanics removed over the years (remember weapons jamming?) and, especially, the current puppet spawning system... I have to stop commenting - I'm getting really rawled up.

this game as all games has always had lore but u can find bit and peices from 0.3 refrencing ai quests and roaming npcs its always had plans to have story content amongst the open world im still excited to see where the game goes

I know this is random, but what is the name of the song being used in the background? It's calming.

If anyone doesn’t like this game and think it’s to hard just play single player for a week on solo with whatever easy settings you want to learn the basics once you learn that it’s all a cake walk from there.

I agree. Also, I recently came back from a long break to see these things and noticed something disturbing. The remaining English speaking playerbase is very reclusive and several I've killed had vehicles full of perverse items with pink little backpacks and the other pink things and the sextoys. It seemed very... PDF file type and just perverted. Most have the ridiculous hair. I'm on another break and will return to see the 1.0 but I'm not holding out hope. Good video.

bout 5k hours and hundreds of livestreams and I stopped playing after 0.7 as that version of scum was the best it has ever been. I have hopes that when the game releases the modding community can implement the game we used to love

when casual wardog quit I knew it was rly going downhill then..

I did play the game since 2019 till it stop to be fun at 0.8 more exactly, had 1.5K hrs of gameplay. And i agree 100% with what you saying in this video and you are not the only one who said it. Even people who have their names in the game said it and left the game after they seen how bad this game become. The game is totally DEAD. People just stop losing your time with it because is not worth it. This game is in a deep dark hole and has no way out anymore, the hole name is Jagex and they only want Scum devs to make them money, they are their slaves now is GAME OVER for live.

They don't even play their own game. You're surprised?

I started playing it a few months ago and honestly i enjoy it found a nice server and had a few friends join and its been a joy for us it replaced dayz for me entirely just gonna keep following the games updates and be excited for the npcs coming if they do it right

Great video and YES the game needs a lot of love

Out of all the survival games using the same engine and assets SCUM is by far the best (I've tried most of them,).

Scum isn’t doing it for me since 0.6

Why did I feel like this was a slow roast on your part lmao 😂

But ovrl i think scum is the best survival now Who agrees?

I been playing miscreated

The game started with so much joy , they have just messed it up so so bad . Sad could have been a great game . A pickup truck that u can’t haul anything or even use the bed of the truck for anything , you can just go on and on . They went cheap on everything. Just lame . Mechs are lame . It’s become a computer and paste

thats just jagex in gen go to any runescape player and ask them

scum no longer cares about its community only about the $$$ i loved this game once i have over 5000hrs + weekly vids now i cant bring myself to play it i keep hoping they will get back to what they originally planned but i doubt they will

I started playing when 0.5 came out and it was funniest game to survive off scraps and as little gear possible but now the traders are a core feature that you have to get money for respawns otherwise your character gets a permadeath which forces players to interact with traders which is annoying and not fun at all animal spawns used to be great and you were able to track animals now you can’t. Now with the stupid new horde system the game has completely shit the bed clearing a area is completely pointless now due the puppets spawns constantly spawning where ever they like within your current vicinity. The map is massive which each sector have a bunker and loot that can keep players in a sector forever pretty much reducing interactions with players compare this with dayz players have to choose to stay on the coast containing low tier loot or start heading inland to compete with more players for better tier loot which is great keeps players always looking over their shoulder. In dayz your most likely going to to bump into player every hour or so unless you don’t want to be seen, but scum on the other hand I swear I never see a single soul if scum implemented the audio that dayz has for gun fire players would be able to hear players from a much further distance, the flying drone used to fly to players locations promoting pvp but that is long gone now.

I like this video!

WHAT. Why did they partner with Jagex? The people behind Runescape. That is so weird. I have started Scum once when i bought it on release. But never played it. Guess i will wait for things to get good i think

It’s funny how this new generation expects everything for free. I used to buy a game for $60 and not get any DLC and enjoy the game as long as you could but now they add DLC patches bug fixes you guys want all that shit for free so when they add something that you have to pay for so that the debs could get more money for these patches and DLC‘s and upgrades and bug fixes you guys wanna bitch and moanso how do you play game before you have to pay for the new stuff you do it for free forever?

Same thing is going on with sea of theives its really sad

Its always been like this. Its just that the game is unplayable now. We had to fight tooth and nail with them to fix the metabolism system. They failed because they didn't give a shit about their player base. They sold the game to 3 different publishers over the course of their lifetime. I've seen the changes they've made in the name of diversity. Wokeness killed SCUM.

this sh!t game hasnt run since day 1

go cry to momma 🤣
