*** Infestation: Survivor Stories ***

Guys about to play, remember we want a full first impressions! Half of us are expecting it to be the direst thing since SWTOR, the other half are expecting a great leap forward from the DayZ phenomenon. Lets hear it!

Going to wait for the first opinions. I know quite a few heavy DayZ players are getting it (Marker, im looking at you) so really interested to see how it measures up for my interests.

Purchases based on opinions from today would be pretty dumb, this is guarenteed to break server side and I'm sure a fair few bugs that loads of people will be playing it.
 
Because you're basing it off a first and likely very unstable day with potentially game breaking bugs, maybe waiting 3-4 days might be a better idea?
 
It's not really dumb, you can get a rough idea from just playing regardless of lag, bugs and instability. If you don't like it with any problems, then you'll most likely not like it once they are fixed.

DayZ was alpha, I played what a week of it and purchased it and had the best gaming time for ages. You can usually tell which way the game is heading, besides it looks more beta than alpha. Alpha is so overused nowadays :D

That is completely different though, DayZ obviously worked for you despite its ongoing bugs, same for me even though it was only a mod.

But had you based your impressions of when hive was down or very up and down you couldn't really make a good judgement on whether to buy or not which I can definitely see happening today.

I don't like DayZ with artifacts all over my face, hence I stopped playing it.

Thats just one of the reasons im waiting. the 'launch price' is only valid until the 20th so presumably they want people in. Doesnt really matter about the bugs, youll get a good idea if its naff or not in the first couple of hours especially as we half know what to expect from all the pre-game publicity - the potential or lack of it will be obvious. If its broken for 5 days then meh.

I didn't either, so i stopped playing during that period. It was good though albeit with problems before the artifacts. I could tell in that time it was going to be a big game and although i haven't played it at all lately due to other games i am still wanting to play and can't wait for standalone.

It does not matter if there are problems, if you look at the game properly you can see past them and see if it is for you or not.

Isn't there an NDA?

Generally not at the pay to play stage I would have thought. People have a greater reluctance to not use the stuff they pay for how they want within the spirit of the game. Streams are a great idea, never even thought of it, will be watching with interest.

There is meant to be but I doubt they can uphold especially like you have pointed out, people have paid.
