DayZ Standalone

[ClevelandOwnz]

How about it, anyone playing this game. It is pretty bad ass, even in Alpha stage. What are your thoughts?

Nothing I love more than drinking disinfectant.

I'm waiting to see if they actually make some improvements before I buy it. That mod was out forever and barely any of the thousands of bugs ever got fixed. I don't have a lot of faith in Rocket to do the work right now.

I haven't bought it myself, but I like watching youtube vids of people playing it. It seems really cool, but there is still a lot of improvement that needs to be done. I played the mod a ton with some of my buddies. I probably won't get it unless I can get some of my friends to play it with me. It just doesn't have the same charm when you are running around by yourself.

 

[Man Called X]

Still on the stupid broken Arma2 engine.

Enough reason not to buy it.

Just looks like such an amazing game... But damn does it seem glitchy.. Just non-stop glitches, shit falling through the floor, bodies moving through walls, seeing gunsmoke through buildings, hearing someone eating literally 10 yards away while their in a building...

Then there's combat logging, which we used to call rage quitting in the SF community. That shit seems to get abused non-stop too.

After falling off a staircase WITH A RAILING and then subsequently spending 2 hours to get back to my body, only to have my guy warp out of my car and get run over by himself, I'm good on this until it's ready.

 

[Man Called X]

I doubt the standalone actually ever gets finished.

I think the concept is great.. The problem is they have no programmers. Why this is built on the Arma2 engine, I will never know, especially considering there are better alternatives that are very inexpensive (Unreal, Unity, even Ogre).

I've always wanted to make a game like this.. a survival simulator, with zombies and disease and shit... the need to eat food, drink water, bandage yourself.. I just think the guys should have ditched the Arma2 noise and either went with a more robust engine or rolled their own.

Shame I've never known a single decent 3D artist, or I'd fucking write it myself.

Started out as a mod for Arma2. Bohemia hired Rocket when Arma2 started getting mass sales on Steam because of DayZ. Pretty much the only thing I can figure.
