The vast detail extends to other areas of the game too – when you shoot players or animals they bleed (as you would expect), but what makes this game different is that the blood stays on the floor, essentially creating a trail and allowing you to hunt. As well as the various turd options available, you can also dig deep into your vital signs to make sure you’re in the best possible condition. For example, you have to defecate once you’ve eaten, and it’s always fun to do this in strange places, such as on desks that you know other players are going to loot (no, honestly, I’m not a sadist). SCUM has gone into a lot of detail on the old survival front. As well as the interactions with other players, there are zombies to fend off and mechs which protect the best loot areas. To an extent this sort of gameplay is also found in the likes of PUBG, but usually on that game you run with the “blowing their head off” strategy, because in that game there are winners and losers, in SCUM there is just survival. It’s the rush of meeting other players and either trusting them, running away or blowing their heads off (I’m not a sadist, honest) that keeps you coming back to games like this and that is exactly what kept me hooked on DayZ for so long.
Video can’t be loaded: Scum Is Awesome! Best 20$ on Steam Hands Down! ()
To give you an example of what I mean by the community and player interaction, take a look at the first 10 minutes of the video below by Kotton: SCUM however, already seems more polished then DayZ, even after the seemingly-endless number of years that DayZ has been in development. I’ve already mentioned DayZ twice in this pre-release review and there’s a good reason for that – they are essentially the same game: the graphic type is similar (though SCUM does have the better graphics), the gameplay is largely the same, the loot is mostly the same, the bugs are present (which is to be expected in an Alpha release) and the best part of DayZ-which in my opinion was the interaction with other players and the community-are present in SCUM.
#Scum map best loot full
SCUM is still in Alpha so this review is of course only a placeholder, and when the full game gets released (hopefully it doesn’t take as long as DayZ has or I’ll be too old to write a review) we will be releasing an updated review for the full game. My initial thoughts-before even playing the game-were spot on in my opinion. I’ve watched gameplay videos and the trailers, and my initial thoughts were “this looks like DayZ but better”. I’ve been keeping an eye on SCUM since it dropped about a week ago.
