Scourge: Outbreak

Imagina um Gears of War mais genérico e sem metade do apelo: esse é Scourge: Outbreak, um história confusa e apressada, inimigos repetitivos e infinitos, alguns bugs e uma gunplay pobre. Esse jogo foi obviamente feito pra coop, da pra jogar sozinho, mas eu não vejo motivo pra jogar isso hoje em dia, principalmente porque existem MUITAS opções melhores, eu não pagaria nada por esse jogo. ---------------------------------- Imagine a more generic Gears of War without half the appeal: that's Scourge: Outbreak, a confusing and rushed story, repetitive and endless enemies, some bugs and poor gunplay. This game was obviously made for coop, you can play it alone, but I don't see any reason to play it nowadays, especially since there are SO many better options, I wouldn't pay anything for this game.

Yes.

Ну таке під квас піде 5/10

You know those movies that are so bad they almost become good. Here, it's exactly that, Scourge: Outbreak is sometimes so ridiculous it becomes funny :) There are so many weird things that I've wondered more than once what the hell was going on in the minds of its creators. It starts from the tutorial, where you are taught how to throw a grenade inside a PLANE... Sure, sure, you can do whatever you want inside futuristic planes... Next, the scenario is presented: since 10 years, Nogari Corporation, the world's largest fuel company is selling the best existing type of fuel. But wait! An insider revealed that the fuel contains alien DNA and is certainly responsible for the epidemic ravaging the planet. It's the task of the Echo squad to investigate the Nogari installations, find evidence and rescue the insider... Then after a few fights, you will quickly discover the gameplay loop: a room or an area with a crazy number of soldiers to kill. When the room isn't big and more than 30 soldiers have died in the same place, you might think the game gave up the notion of realism. But no, a short scene is here to restores credibility: Nogari is cloning its employees in secret!... There was a room where I probably killed 150 technicians and soldiers because they were spawning endlessly. The first fight against a flying enemy: you MUST use the grenade... What the ****! Forget other weapons, the plane could only be damaged by a grenade. I needed at least half a dozen grenade to reach it successfully once, and that was with the plane circling unnaturally in low altitude. All along the game our squad, echo squad, is following another squad, alpha squad, who was supposed to be our ally, but is in fact not. And all along, Echo squad (and the player) doesn't understand why the Alpha squad betrayed them. Since the game never took an occasion to explain it, at the end, all the explanations are given by a villain in the most unnatural way possible. This guy is only here to explain, and that's all... No ending, the game was never finished, yet, this game is the remastered version... The first releases were episodic, with only 2 episodes. This game isn't that catastrophic. The graphics are decent. But there is practically only one type of decor. And depending of your tastes, the characters' appearance may seem questionable. In my opinion, one of them clearly looks like a viking cosplayer and another looks like the bald cousin of the Joker. And somehow half of the squad soldiers managed to steal the nanosuit of Crysis. The gameplay is just average. There are different weapons, psychics abilities, squad command, cover fire, ... But it's not very well designed. There are not many weapons and some are useless, the psychics abilities aren't really useful most of the time, the squad members are dumb, the enemies aren't cleverer, and everyone is a bullet sponge! There are also few bugs. I was once stuck on staircases until I died. Occasionally, some enemy animations may have bugs. I once saw the wreckage of a flying enemy forever frozen mid-flight. I recommend Scourge: Outbreak only if you like unfinished B-movie-esque game. That's quite the niche audience ;)

It's every bad idea that mid 2010 gaming had, packaged into a single game.

The game isn't bad, but... The story is just there for filler. The gameplay is the same from beginning to end. The game has bugs, but the problem is the poor balance, the hero is terribly unendurable. Comparison with everything else. Grenades are terribly weak. The skills are interesting but either too slow or too weak. The upgrade system isn't bad, but the improvements are minimal and don't make you any more durable. AI are as useful as they are stupid. Multiplayer is dead, but at least there are bots and you can upgrade there too, not just in missions. You also get The Scourge Project: Episode 1 and 2 for free. Which is almost the same as the game without some improvements and it seems like they haven't learned from their mistakes and it can only be played offline. The only odd bug was that I got 5 achievements when I first started the game and two skills were at level 2. I would say the best is with a discount, the best, but I never saw one, but need one.

Got this for 1$ and i still feel like i got ripped off, this is a really bad clone of gears of war, graphics are nice and it looks cool, but paired with a generic story that goes nowhere, clunky and input delayed movement, unsatisfying hit feedback with shooting and melee, every enemy is a bullet sponge even if you headshot one with a shotgun point blank, the entire game is repetitive with zero variation from the first mission to the last apart from a couple bosses. There are abilities for the 4 characters, that is a cool idea on paper, your shield you can deploy lasts about 4 seconds then you need to recharge and the hitboxes for your "special attack" is so wonky you will land a hit maybe 25% of the time. there are only 4 guns in the entire game, only 3 real enemy types outside bosses, as enemy variety is is only cosmetic but most of them do the same thing. te cover system is all over the place sometimes it doesn't work when you wants to and it works when are trying to combat roll and you stick to cover. Bosses are as basic as it gets, fight a boss while dodging attacks, and every third of their health you knock you fight the same minion enemies you have been fighting the entire game. I already knew going into this, that this was going to be a 6/10 game at best, but this game is not only boring with its story but i thought st the very least the 3rd person combat would be fun even if its repetitive. Dear lord i was wrong, there is a reason why this game didn't sell, even for people who enjoy action slop games this will be a pain to play. Don't waste your time this, if you want a 3rd person shooter play Ghost Recon Future Soldier as that game is miles better than this

Picked this up cheap and went in expecting very little, but Scourge: Outbreak turned out to be a decent time — as long as you bring friends. The Gears of War-style cover mechanics and Mass Effect-ish squad abilities give it a familiar feel, and blasting through waves of alien enemies in co-op is genuinely fun chaos. Solo is a different story: the teammate AI is shockingly bad, with squadmates ignoring your commands, standing on grenades, and running into your line of fire at the worst moments. The guns also feel underpowered against bullet-sponge enemies, and the shotgun has the effective range of a firm handshake. But for $8 with a few friends who don't mind a rough-around-the-edges sci-fi shooter, there's enough here to have a good time — just don't expect polish.

Got to second level and everyone is throwing grenades, it's crazy! Did the devs not make sure that enemies were not grenading psychos. I played a bit of the original and that seems much better, I'll just go back to playing that one even though the graphics are worse and the enemies are more spongy.
