Clunky shitty vaporware that the "creator" used to steal your shekels so he could climb Everest.

It's a mod of a game that was made nearly ten years ago AND IT ISN'T FUCKING DONE

Fuck.

Also, The Long Dark is pretty fucking cool.

DayZ on OA wasn't that bad.. the standalone was pretty bad. The mod did end up going to hell though cause of hacking later on.

It was fun while it lasted

>>358557342
Good game, they need to take 3rd person out, shit is stupid when you can hide anywhere you want and ambush people without them even being able to see where you are shooting from or even risking them seeing you. There's only a handful of 1st person only servers.
Same with the ARMA series, "LETS MAKE A MIL SIM GAME AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE BUT LET'S ADD A HOVERING CAMERA VIEW WHERE YOU CAN SEE AROuND CORNErs AND COMPLETELY FUCK UP THE WHOLE GAME"

>Randomly breaking your legs walking around or falling through buildings due to dsync and instantly dying
Bravo, Dean Hall. Good luck getting anyone to buy your bullshit space game since you can't fucking finish a game despite millions of dollars and several years.

Never played that shit again.

I'm sure it's a fucking social experiment or something, they're just checking out how much shittier they can make it with people still playing. It just got shittier and shittier. They try to implement shit like seeds and stuff, without making the fucking zombies work. And to make the zombies work, THEY FUCKING TOOK THEM OUT OF THE GAME FOR SIX MONTHS. It was just an empty island, nothing more. And people still kept playing it. It's just fucking unbelievable.

A game with a broad sense of killing. Planetside 2 can be fun. I drop with dudes all the time with what we call bacon drops. (Spawn beacon, drop pod in 1 minute cooldown to spawn)

Five or six of us get swarmed by 20 guys sometimes but it's fun. Headshots mean everything. Go watch a DA or likewise good outfit on twitch sometime.

>>358557342
Long story, very long story, short:

this motherfucker Hall took one of the greatest videogame concepts of all time and just abandonded it. It's all shit now. The great days of the original mod are long over. I fucking wish that motherfucker the worst.

>>358557364
Thanks.

>>358557365
The game is slowly getting better, .61 at least doesn't have insane desync problems like they used to, I just hope that without Dean hall that the game stays as hardcore as it needs to be.

>>358557367
To make the game "more hardcore" they made it necessary to eat and drink every few minutes. You can get yourself stuffed and hydrated, and 10 minutes later you're about to starve. That shit just makes me angry, they're trying to make it more hardcore at the cost of actual realism. Fucking grinds my gears.

>>358557367
They need to do something to make close range combat less retarded.

>>358557369
Yes, they are completely moving away from the shitty ARMA graphics engines shit, so maybe that will help.

>>358557346
ahhh good times...

>>358557368
It's probably because the experimental servesr are all on 12x speed.

Surviving is going to be made great by the fact that your weapons are actually made of parts, so you have to find and assemble them all, and can mix and match when appropriate, or go without parts like in your picture.

>mfw DayZ is probably never going to get out of early access
Really disappointed about it too, I think some of the best moments I've ever had in a video game came from me playing this with friends and fucking around in it.
Speaking of which, what exactly is better about the mod compared to the current version of standalone? I've never actually played it despite owning ARMA 2.

>>358557358
Planetside2 is the fucking best.

>>358557380
The vehicles, the actual camps, the variety of weapons and maps (innaafghanistan was my favorite), the customizability of the servers by the owner. Honestly, even the inventory/ui was better implemented and that says something considering it's also shit.

I've seen lots of videos of this game/ But a zombie game where the zombies are non-factors doesn't seem like it has any potential to be fun.

Seems like it's just PvP sniping with a mild inconvenience of NPC mobs every once in a long while.

>>358557352
If they keep third person in the game when it's released I'll sue them.

>>358557383
I don't know about the current state of standalone (I think stuff still despawns on a restart occasionally), but in the mod you could become the guy from picrelated and hoard everything. Placing tents in the bushes and underwater and stuffing them with funs and supplies, finding, fixing and stashing every vehicle on the map. You could drive around interacting with people who sometimes would not shoot and ask for a lift instead. Since the servers usually had communities of their own where you could become a legend or a hvt eventually, depending on your actions. It was quite fun but time consuming.
In the mod the zombies were a nuisance and a good indicator that someone was nearby. They would also react to gunshot sounds and reveal hidden shooters. There were plenty of them in the cities so if you weren't careful enough you could trap yourself in a building with a stream of them coming through the doors, which often ended badly.
Looking at the server list though, I think everything has mostly devolved into a deathmatch already.

>>358557355
But the FOV in first person sucks

>>358557386
The FOV is exactly the same irregardless of whether the camera is mounted where the character's head is or 100 meters behind it. It's it position that provides the extra visibility around the character. This feature is both a blessing and a curse.

>>358557342
.61 is fucking savage

first time in a loooong while where any aspect of the game that isnt gravity or players is a threat

Honestly I have never seen a game go to shit so fast as Arma 2 after Dayz was released. It sucks that players all had to be treated like liabilities after that and the public servers got a lot less chill.

Of course there was that one server that posted the ips of hackers to /b/. That was pretty dope.

For a real Dayz experience just find some public land in Michigan. Only catch is you have to scavenge all your supplies from the darkest parts of Detroit.

DayZ standalone was ruined by reddit and its fucking retarded gameplay mechanics. Instead of adding content, they just made all this superficial bullshit that makes the game needlessly complicated and tedious. Also >>358557344

DayZ mod epoch especially with modded in military vehicles is much better and is literally Red Dawn the video game especially if you fight large clans.

what

>>358562548
There's way more in experimental. As in, they're actually a threat.

Took them long enough though

so the zombies ACTUALLY WORK now?

is dayz finally a game about zombies?

>>358562879
Not really. Zombies pose more threat by themselves but they still mostly just act as a big fat "here" arrow for snipers when you've agro'd one.

i bought it almost 2 years ago and never played it. i do that to a lot of steam games summer sales.

>>358563000
Thats the one thing I did like about h1z1 zombie hordes when they first added them. They were just annoying like 6 at a time but if you got more following you, they eventually became an impossible to kill horde of 60 and they all would run at you in a swarm of horrendous white noise.

>>358562879
i havent checked, but i doubt it. the game is hardcoded at an engine level so that every npc acts like a soldier, ergo, they scan and look around the horizon no matter what, so zombies ALWAYS know where you are.

how they made it "work" is that the npcs have different engagement rules, so its "aware" of you movement pattern is huge, large circles around you. if you dont stay still for very long periods of time, itll seem "random", but the reality is that they are just taking the longest path to you, doing smaller and smaller circles around you, in their "return fire if fired upon" mode. then when they get close, they change to "open fire", and they run at you.

arma 2 was the worst engine they could of chosen to make dayz on. for comparison, san andreas had the dayz mod made, and completed for it in like 4 months, because the npcs are NOT hardcoded to do behaviour that goes completely against zombies behaviour

pic related, how a zombie moves towards you if you stay still

>>358560864

They did update it so you can break your legs in 120+ FPS now though
