Dayz Standalone - BETA

If they made good on what they promised us gullible muppets that passed them 20 of our hard earned sheets should be playing the final product by now and getting fleeced for DLC and microtransactions. The problem is we are years down the line from SA and still stuck with a 'very early build'.

The engine is cack, the controls are cack, gameplay is cack, the community is cack and the mechanics are cack.
If it looks like a **** and smells like a **** it probably isn't a snickers bar.

There's a new engine tho... Like Brand new engine.... I've paid for it, so gonna give it a go when 0.63 BETA hits.... Brand new engine with MOD support and base building!

Sod all else to play.

I get you tho... But as I said, nearly every other game released has screwed us over... They could have run with the money but are continuing to develop!

Good on ya! If you have the patience to stick with it and get your pennies worth then at least you can get some value out of it.
Between work / work travel / wife and daughter my gaming time is very limited so I try not to waste it on stuff I find boring or rage inducing and play only what I find fun.

Dayz is definitely not in the band but I have spent nearly 20 hours on it over the years, which was mostly finding hats and empty shotguns.

My daughter is addicted to Slime Rancher btw and she has made me play it too, have to say I have a bit of a soft spot for it now and find it very relaxing!
 
It's not a "brand new engine" though, is it?

Not taking away from the effort they've put in so far with it but it still seems to be based on some version of the RV engine.

Nail. Head.

Regardless of what they say, this new engine will always be fundamentally flawed. RV was designed for use with military contracts for simulated training and battles. What we know as ArmA is the expansion on said engine to open it up to gaming. It will always be clunky.

There's always been a lot of hate on DayZ since standalone launched. As Goon said, the community at large whinged and whined about wanting access to it when the development team were adamant it was not in a state that should be played. They relented and as a result the community has hugely stagnated and turned toxic. That toxicity also spread across the entire industry - "Oh it's early access, bet it's like DayZ and fails" etc. The game has always had great potential. I'd argue the original mod was better, but that would be through some highly tinted rose glasses. The work they've done on the Alpha builds to date has been good. Yes progress has been achingly slow - but as they've said, most of their effort has been towards this "new engine". Heck, part of me believes that if they never released the Alpha builds when they did, they wouldn't have had all the negative backlash from the community and the game would be in a much better state with much more play-ability.

I know I've certainly had my money's worth out of DayZ, be that mod or standalone. I bought standalone because I thoroughly enjoyed the mod and felt it was the right decision by Rocket to try and develop it standalone. Unfortunately some of his decisions since then have greatly changed my opinion of him and somewhat tainted my view of the game. But I do look forward to seeing what the Beta brings and how it plays. There's still a lot of games floating around in this genre, and to date not one of them has got it "right". This still has the best chance I feel.
 
as much as a i get your be burned feeling for early access. i know i have that bad taste in my mouth from dayz sa.dont put pubg in the same basket.they seem to be getting it right a great game.nothing like the clown shoe operation of the dayz squad. its 4 years this December since alpha build lol.always new engine always something else but its never any better or any good. some how they managed a simple idea even more complicated that it needed to be.

the funny thing is they removed rocket cause he couldn't do much apart from mod but his basic mod was the entire success of the game.also if a simple mod is achieved by a guy who cant do much what does that say about a whole studio who cant make a game ? comedy gold.
 
Oh come off it DG you were SA's biggest defender until you realised nothing was going to get better about 3 months after everyone else.

They didn't remove rocket either, he left. He then went on to form his own studio and have multiple failed games since then.

Bohemia told me that it was aware of Hall's plans and this "did not come as a surprise". "Under the guidance of Dean, DayZ's development will continue to move full-steam ahead, and we're expecting to make a lot of progress this year - and in the year(s) after that of course," a spokesperson said.

That quote was from nearly 4 years ago now
 
they brought him out and put a studio in place to finish the game because he was a modder with little knowledge to complete the game.

no i gave SA a chance because i hoped like we all did and lets not bs about that it would be as good as the mod was.i really enjoyed killing you lot so much.i just hoped it would carry on with SA but it didn't.also you don't need to tell me about the development i was testing it since the mod lol.that's when you lot used to troll me about it. you never got over being ruined so much shows everytime you post lol.

'complete the game'? It's been FOUR years and still, STILL in Alpha. It's become a running joke in the industry now.

0.63 and beta showcases hit youtube 3 months ago....

When I read the article I thought I'd missed the release as I watched the review of 0.63 2 months ago lol.

Turns out that was to build hype via the youtube fanboys though. What a joke of a 'game'.
 
I must admit, tried this yesterday after a while of leaving it to fester, and it does run really very well (ignoring the fact that many things are broken in the gameplay!).
