The day it gets out of EA is the day everyone refunds it.

Are there any more loopholes to it?
I really really want to refund it

>>375775350
Not that I know of. I did this for KF2 when it came out of early access. Had 50 hours in it and on it's release day was able to get a refund.

There are tons of permanently EA games on Steam. It's just an excuse for developers to sell you an unpolished, broken game on promises of the future. They will literally never release the game because that would allow for refunds.

>>375776401
DayZ being an Arma 3 mod was it's first and biggest mistake. They're forever limited by the engine. Even if they had a proper development team it will always be a piece of shit.

PUBG uses Unreal so it doesn't have that drawback. The only thing that could hold the game back is developer incompetence.

any game in EA for more than 2 years should be removed from the store

>>375774696
Literally who the fuck even plays that game anymore?

>buying early access

>>375775452
I thought you could refund at any time during early access.

>>375777154
No, you sign away that right when you check the EA agreement. That clause only expires if the game actually releases.

>>375776229
>Why did we oppose that law that made it illegals for minors to buy m rated games?

but anon that only counts if it's been rated by the ESRB right now it's just not rated anything same with alot of the stuff thats been uploaded to steam the only reason why a game uploaded to steam and would bothere to get it rated by the ESRB at all would be when they want to port it to consol

so as long as they didn't get it rated they could get away with it

>>375774958
Same would happen with Garry Jewman's Rust

I remember back in 2015 or something there was a year long roamap with 10 or a little less different roadmarks how many of those did they get done in the year?

I find it fun.

>>375777154
No, that was a lie by a TW piece of shit employee, Yoshiro. If it were like that I'd have refunded it the moment they introduced microtransactions.

Don't forget it also was a year late to being even early access. Fucking Routine is developed by a think a tenth of the size and is actually going to be released soon.

When they added them they were just skins, but it showed how much in touch they were with the community. Spoiler: not at all, given that the game's balance was in a sorry state for months and the balance was changed (for the worse) a good month after the cash shop was introduced. Then they also added a PvP mode that absolutely nobody wanted, and that's when people really started to get pissed off.

worse is everyone who bought H1Z1, now they all want to play battlegrounds.

It's a never ending cycle of shit

The devs arent even trying anymore, theven clearly stated they arent going to add anything gameplay wise for .62, and 0.61 came out ladst year

imo I will still stand by DayZ until the day it finally dies, honestly this is so hard to watch, its like watching a child gifted for greatness who is raised by the wost parents of all time. What a waste of potential.

And many suspected it would be a testament to why you do not purchase Early Access games. When Dean walked out, I knew it was only downhill from there.

All the deceit, lies.. The game had its moments, but everything wrong with the game is dismissed with the argument, "It's EARLY ACCESS".

I wonder if it'll ever leave EA. likely not.

well at least the devs have kinda dug themselves into a corner it seems. They HAVE to make it appear like the game is still under development otherwise they could get into a lot of trouble. So the game will be finished, or it will be pulled from steam, either or.

>>375781141
What lies?

>>375776856
The problem PUBG with PUBG will be stagnation. They will need to put out other islands or play styles to keep the player base. I'm enjoying it for now, but I think that has more to do with having a game to play with my friends. There isn't really anything else multi-player worth playing right now.

That'll be the day, Anon.

That's nothing really, it's not uncommon for games to take several years to develop. The issue is how long it's been between updates.

At the rate they're going it'll be another 4 years before it leaves alpha, if it even does at all.

Where do you want me to begin.

Do you want me to start with Dean Hall's timelines, his abandonment of the game, or shall I start with the development teams goal promises to the community?

What about Star Citizen? it wasn't officially in Early Access but we all know when the playable parts started coming out it was an EA title

I remember Chris Roberts was talking about how Star Citizen was going to target the high end machines, saying it would be a game for a GTX 670

now that shit is just barely middle range lol

I'm more curious about what they want the system requirements to be. If they're overshooting it, there's no way in hell the playerbase will be big.

nah it was shit. all melee weps except 1 had the exact same animations for m1 or m2 + directions. only difs were the numbers (speed, range, damage) and if your push was a push or a stab.
25 perk levels for no reason beyond making it more grindy where every level that isn't a multiple of 5 just changes numbers slightly and feels empty
zeds felt less threatening with stupid crap like the FP gently walking around its allies while mad rather than running through them and the albino zeds they added to remedy this like most things in the game were just existing crap with different numbers outside of the white crawling dudes who were just plain cheap
once they took it out of ea and just dropped the MA class they said they'd make and replaced it with a class that's largely just existing traits from other classes i refunded that shit

>>375782646
Dean Hall told us he would lead the development of DayZ S:A, and that there would be development goals to meet.

Then, after making the money

He leaves the unfinished piece of shit to Bohemia, and goes to work on a shitty VR that never took off instead of finishing his game and as extension, his promises to the community.

Someone gotta do a chart of games with long time in early access. Secrets of Grindea has been in early access since 2013 or so, I'm pretty sure. Cube World even more

>>375776856
I'd say the biggest thing that will hold PUBG back is the genre itself, there's only so much you can do with a Battle Royale type game.

>>375780645
Yes there are still wasteland and dayz mod servers up.

>>375781769
There was a ton of new shooters that just came out, granted PUBG has the benefit of being fairly cheap and semi interesting.

kek, no. This is what they say so they can work on the game essentially forever and avoid being outed as a scam. Adding a new hat every couple months doesn't bring them any closer to leaving early alpha stage

Okay child. Except early access was a fairly new concept at the time. DayZ is literally a pioneer of scamming by this method. Kill yourself you autistic cunt

basically starts off worse than the mod because he's making the buildings more enterable/making a new engine. Then the engine turns out to be absolute shit and makes zombie pathfinding nearly impossible, dean's own words, removes zombies, decides to take a break from development to climb mt Everest (this isn't a joke), climbs mt Everest and announces his departure from the team and game. New people take over, have no idea what theyre doing, skip a couple years, and apparently they now have a working engine

Rust is one of those games where you need to be fully dedicated and have a group where at least 1 person is online at all times, otherwise you're just being to be a freshspawn and your base is going to be destroyed every time you load the game.

The problem is they're not at all remotely comparable, and /v/ as a whole should be instabanned the second food is ever brought up since they can never get a food analogy right.

The problem with early access games is you're delivered on a concept of what you intend to buy. Think of it like seeing a model kit car in a magazine. "Build this sweet car of your dreams that has all these features planned for it!" they say, and only ask for your money and patience.

So you plop your money down and wait. The wait will be worth it, you think to yourself. And you wait, and wait, and wait. Longer than expected, longer than surely is necessary, but the hope is still there. Worse yet is after all this wait, two possible outcomes remain.

1) You get the kit and it's a visually accurate representation, but a lot of the features just aren't there that they claimed.

2) You get an abomination of something completely different because they changed direction, abandoned the product, or disbanded altogether.

>Arma2 Dayz Is still funner

>>375785081
Valdis Story added 2 new characters before coming out of EA, and Sir You're Being Hunted added new robots and map generators. Early Access isn't always bad, it's just highly exploitable.

Personally I follow my own philosophy on early access. What I tend to do is play a game for long enough before I move to something else then come back once an update hits so it can entertain me for a little while longer. Using this strategy actually has saved me a ton of money not buying AAA shit that I'll play for a couple days and never play again.

For all the shit EA gets, it at least still keeps things fresh for me every time I decide to replay a game.

>>375786793
I'm an ideas guy

>>375786793
I honestly don't know why hes trying anymore. Apparently his name idea for a game is going to be similar to space station 13, even though the creator of space station 13 is already making a game to be released on steam, and he's not a hack like dean hall. I'd imagine Dean is basically poison at this point for any dev

I fucking wish.

>>375787042
I never played SS13 but I would play a revamped version of it without the awful admins

>>375787048
Happens to all of the survival crafting games. They're stream bait and games for sociopaths. the DayZ mod was lucky enough to start small and in a game where squad based play was encouraged and used by people who already played the base game. When it took off in popularity, it was just one among many survival crafting games, except riding on its fame. Without the Arma 2 community or the old base who would rather stick to the mod, which to this day still has more shit to do in it, DayZ fell into the same trap all of them do: kill everyone and gather a bunch of shit until you die and start over again while streaming and making jokes.

>>375782708
why do niggers look so much like giant round globs of shit?

>>375787206
>>375787293

Not quite a remake. It's basically going to be a submarine in the deep ocean instead. Looks fantastic, I'm fairly hype

>>375787384
I would drop up to 30$ if it has streamlined controls, a set of rules that substitute admins, better graphics and its easy to mod, but I guess I'm asking too much.

Also if it is underwater I actually hope it to be bases or mines or underwater cities over a submarine, seems easier to add content that way.

DayZ was only good once Origins and Epoch got bigger. And only on servers with more focus on PvE/Surviving together.

At that point it was a straight up /k/ innawoods survival simulator.

>>375788860
Epoch may attract the type of PLAYER that killed the mod, but Overpochins/Overpoch ended up having enough features and fixes to keep the game from being as fucking broken as it started out.

It was the shitheads that played it like a goddamn deathmatch that ruined the game. Not the mods.

I remember when the game was so new, nobody even used the gamma trick to see during night time. Seriously, there was a shitstorm on the forums when people figured this shit out.

Boy, it was so much fun. Seeing Cherno lit up by flares, hearing Makarov gunshots in the near distance, sneaking around while trying to avoid zombies..
There was even a DayZ Radio website with actual hosts and people reporting shootings and events on a particular server.
Playing DayZRP on Arma 2 was the most fun i had in a multiplayer game.

Isn't the new engine made by the branch of Bohemia that curates VBS (the military version of Arma that actually fucking works and is optimized well)?

I've had several fond memories but the one that always gets me is something that happened to my friend in the early days of the mod

when they first added heli lift there was a glitch where if you dropped the vehicle when you were at speed once it hit the ground it would continue at that speed.

So my friend airlifted someone on a quad, did a vertical dive and pulled out at the last second dropping the quad

The quad went straight down the highway doing like a fucking ballistic missile before crashing into a tank causing it to blow up.

Same people, different battlefield, the point is the only people still playing are rolling in death squads looking for other death squads to kill. It's very rare that you'll see someone on their own.

Not gonna defend DayZ but they did move it to a new engine. Did anyone really want Day-Z on the ARMA3 engine? It ran like shit.

Goddamn FPS babbies ruined DayZ.
The mod was nearly unplayable by the time SA came out and the new version was doomed from the start. Countless Twitch streamers made this game popular among the general audiences who thought that this was yet another shooter. As a result, the game became KoS heaven within the first few months.
The days of cooperating with strangers, avoiding zombies and searching for food are gone. I think that the people who gave a shit about all that probably didn't even bother with the standalone.
Another wonderful concept ruined by kids and retards.

>>375790643
The new engine is the main reason why dayz development has stalled. It's not only for dayz, but probably the new Arma game.

>>375787048
>>375787123
The faggot admins and devs were encouraging griefing from the very start.

>>375790778

Chumps. All of them.

>>375774696
Is it even still being developed?

>>375792695
Yes

here's what I don't get about "early access"

its all just a psychological thing

if you put your game up for sale to anyone and everyone in a store then for all intents and purposes its released
no ifs ands or buts thats just what releasing a product means

so calling your released game "early access" is just another way of attempting to directing public opinion surrounding the game
its just telling people beforehand that the game has some problems

but here's the thing
why not just release the game like normal and then just keep updating like you planned to regardless?
all these devs have done is succeed in making "early access" into a dirty phrase and there was never a need for this
this is the psychology of it
when people see that their game has been updated that's generally a positive thing but by creating a term its not a positive thing any more its just something people expect to happen

>>375784689
>devs are actually adding xen this summer

>>375800332
The problem with The Culling is that it's too hard. People get frustrated because of the minuscule chances of winning any one match. Every round ends with 15 salty losers and one ecstatic winner.

It's too 'hardcore' to be successful, because you're never guaranteed success. You can't just grind out the game and inevitably overcome.

>>375800552
I guess it's because it blew its load too early? From what I recall it was released as soon as it was playable and it started to become actually "playable" a few years after the release.

Why did they completely stop making games like DayZ and why did people stop playing them?
Instead of the "Open world survival" games it's not battle royale shit coming out.

>>375801150
If it weren't for a few design flaws that are fixed by mods I'd say that it's one of the best indieshit games I ever played.

>its a v shits on early access episode despite that ea allows experimental Indies to thrive

Rust and a bunch of others do the same, knowing that people will refund it once it gets officially released. Just classic Jew tactics.

What are those flaws and mods if you don't mind spoonfeeding?

I mean yeah technically they are but they make simulators for the fucking military, they aren't your typical indie studio.

Minecraft is the only "early access" game I've ever bought, and it was only ten bucks back then.

>>375789807
That's not why the game is downvoted. I for one prefer slower type of gameplay.

>>375780614
I can't wait for the international suicide epidemic that game will trigger when it 'releases'.

>yfw you haven't bought into any of these early access, open world, survival, zombies shitheaps

>>375803064
There's plenty of emply servers, in fact, most of them are empty.

>shoot zombies sometimes
>run around everywhere
>feel like last person on earth with not of the actual terror or feeling of loneliness

for what purpose?

>>375802475
Gear gradually degrades over time and it's impossible to repair. In certain cases it makes sense, but everyone should be able to fucking sew a backpack or some trousers.
Some medicines have only negative effects, such as digestives, they make you sick instead of doing their job. Mods fix that.
You can't put a sling on a makeshift sack, you have to carry those either in your hands or on a towable sled.
Your character is almost completely static. You can't learn new skills, at the very best you can remove one of the available negative traits (myopia). That's fucking it.
Le permadeath maymay xddd. What makes it worse is that there are at least a few catches, one of which is plot related.

As far as I remember mods fix the most annoying of those faults. Mini mod of doom should be the mod's name.

>>375803472
I can see why he'd like to do that. The Arma maps are pretty fucking aesthetic and tinkering with the gear gives a sense of satisfaction and tranquility I guess.

>>375803596
Thanks! I think all of your points are fair aside from
>Le permadeath maymay
If you can quicksave/quickload the game is far too easy to beat as soon as you figure out basic mechanics.

>>375804016
What part of "catches" do you not understand? If you aren't aware of what's coming you can throw a 50+ hours save in the trash. I'm very glad there are save manages, permadeath is one of the stupidest mechanics ever invented in long, story driven games. What you posted isn't even an argument as you could restrict saves to outside combat.

>he watches that fat fuck play video games and whine about low hanging fruit subjects

>>375801484
It's called Left 4 Dead

Zombie games were just a passing fad that luckily is dying out.

>>375804159
Helo Shawn
Are you still butthurt about him owning you?

>>375804141
It's far from being story driven, if you go to the north right from the start you can finish the game without any prior knowledge, you only need a foil suit

>>375805249
Nigga zombie games have always been around and always will be, they require little to no creative input and that makes them a prime subject matter for, well, i was going to say video games but any form of media really.

>>375774696
Of all developers I trust Klei the most when they release EA games. They always update and finish them, even after official release they still support them.

>rust still in early access after 4 years
Seems like they are abusing the title for some reason.

>>375806018
Yeah they where, but between 2011-2015 there was a sudden spike in their influx, due to rise in popularity of shows like The Walking Dead and batshit retarded hobbies like prepping for the apocalypse. The same can be said for games with a post-nuclear setting.

>>375806607
I don't think prepping is that insane anymore, a few years ago i would have called a prepper a nutcase but it seems more and more likely every day that we will witness the apocolypse, or the beginning of it at least.

My money's on an ice age, we're due one.

>all these apologetic plebs defending a scam

its never getting released
they took your money and ran

rocket2guns was a fucking liar and a fraud.

>>375806914
Yeah, prepping because you believe that the zombie apocalypse (or the plague, or a nuclear holocaust, or a solar superflare, or the arrival of nibiru) are imminent doesn't sound totally insane at all.

>>375806129
Because people are catching on that as soon as it leaves early access they can refund it.

>>375794026

Your forgetting one major flaw in the GIF there anon...

>>375794026
But did you realize the paste is actually Hellman's mayonaise?

>>375807207
Not imminent, probable. And with every new day that probability rises.

>>375800332
My nigga, now if only the current patch didn't suck shit I'd be praising this shit more.

>>375807846
Are you serious? You think that the spread of a virus that turns humans into flesh eating monster is probable?
Dear god, please tell me I misinterpreted and that at least you are among those a tad bit less retarded guys that prep for an economic collapse, or ww III, or the race war, or anything else that isn't purely science fiction trope.

>>375798483
yes, and?

>>375809127
>Dear god, please tell me I misinterpreted
Yes, did you miss the part where i said my money's on an ice age?

The apocolypse is very much probable, we are statistically closer to extinction today than we were yesterday, that is an objective fact.

>>375798483
Thank god he left. He was a flaming retard worried more about adding new unneeded stuff to the game, rather than fixing what was broken and implementing the features that where already present in the mod.

Also, his idea of "realism" was that if you don't have a drink for 3 hours you die of thirst, and if you eat a single rotten kiwi you are guaranteed to die of food poisoning within the end of the day.
