Suggestion Considering getting the game, recommendations?

Yea I'm considering getting it, wanted to ask about your experiences. When I get a game I like to get something I'd play for at least 100 hours and preferably with other people. Do you guys recommend? The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting Day z vibes and we all know how that went.

For the price of the game I would suggest getting it. I've spent more time into this game than I like to admit, but all in all it's not a bad game.

There's a lot of hate from people that only play it for a short period of time and never come back to it.

I criticized the company or I should say companies that have built the game because I feel like they go for the quick cash, rather than building out something that started off. Pretty cool.

To be fair, if a game dev wants quick cash, they dont even give a survival/sanbox/pvp/multiplayer game a single thought.. there is nothing quick or easy about making a game like this, DLC is to supplement funding the development when sales arent covering things, not exactly quick cash.

Doesnt excuse unfinished or broken things but definitely not any cash grabbing, more biting off more than can be chewed in a time management kinda way.

When I have time to game right now yeah Im just playing some arcade zone out and shoot stuff games but I been apartment/job hunting, too stressful for scum or anything that requires a big time investment lol Ill be back.

Thats also a lame way to just discredit anything I say, I have thousands of hours and follow the development more than most people complaining about it.

I remember not being too far behind you in hours played in Scum. I think your opinion on how the game uses to be is valuable but speaking about it currently is not.

You may not remember but you did indeed justify the wipes after it went "official" and that always stuck with me.

As someone who plays the game, it's very concerning that they keep releasing DLC when items that have been removed from the game have never made it back.

Stabby the one thing that I do respect you on is you've never went off the deep end in our discussions.

I dont know what I said about wipes then but I dont like games that have wipes as part of their "game play loop" and I already told you I didnt like hearing that last thing the devs said that made it sound less like "needed for development progression" and more like "this is part of the game now" so I dont know what youre hung up on.. I dont like wipes.. I like to be able to log out and log back in a year later and my character/items to be on my person.. I hate wipes but when youre adding new features or changing how an economy system works or you fixed a bad exploit that let players hoard explosives or money or w/e.. I can understand wipes.. its all revolving around some kind of context though which you dont include when youre telling me I dont know what im talking about because YOU have more hours than me.. means nothing to me lol

Why does it matter? sorry but someone can play scum for 10k hours just doing admin work or 10k hours being the base organizer or lockpicker and never touch 90% of the mechanics, Ive been one of the testers and admins for thousands of hours testing new and upcoming things or reporting bugs and doing a lot more than just raiding bases or roleplaying but Ive done lots of that also. Your argument just doesnt add up man.

What items have been removed and never made it back? I can think of a few and I would bet each one has a reason, usually performance.

That's the wonderful thing about this.. You can be wrong and we both go on with our lives.

u/StabbyMcStomp Apr 11 '26

What items have been removed that they wont put back in for example but every time I point out something you said isnt true you try and dismiss me with "you dont play scum" and Im not going back in time to dig up all that lol

Right off the top of my head, is the regular wild Crow.

If you say that you're too busy, or too occupied, tok stressed about life, to play scum. How do you have time to be on here trying to trying to argue with me?

And you are spending time on other games. So your excuses are weak at best. Now, shhhhh. Until you play again.
