I like how most people mugging it off get slapped with the "dayz fan boy" comment, if your going to be bringing out a similar kind of game expect them to be compared. In my mind and others DayZ has its problems but does what it does very well, which is why it is still big now and it's only a mod.
If they work on that for standalone it will get even more players interested which again will make it even bigger than it currently is.
I've been watching streams all morning and to be honest im not impressed at all, saying that im not writing it off im seeing if they fix/change it before i give up on it.
just had a go on it and i quite liked it! nice eerie atmosphere etc.
Don't understand how you can like DayZ and not this tbh, fair enough you might prefer one over the other but they are obviously pretty similiar.
Also have to remember this is also the first day of ALPHA testing!
I will add though i haven't come across zombies yet because people keep bashing me over the head with torches.

just sitting here chuckling away
At what?
Only a mod is hardly an arguement, Dota is just a custom map on the WC3 engine, it had 5 times the number of games played (or hours played) than league of legends over the past year which is absolutely huge.

As said before BF3 got hammered when they released that Alpha/Beta everyone saying its broken and will never be fixed in time blah blah blah.
Shame they were all right
But I have high hopes for this though.

I don't see what that has go to do with what i have said? I said it's got a big following and is only a mod, which is exactly what you have just said about a mod/map on another game.
So all i was saying is that the Dev's need to step up with this game if they want it to do well. It will only been in "alpha" until end of October then it's classed as beta, that will be when people will make up their minds especially with all the guest keys given out. It has potential but is very very raw at the moment and we will have to wait and see if it delivers.
1 Because Herbski already ran a give-away so hes still got a list of people
2 Because Im lazy

lol yeh
'Only a mod' would imply something?
Taking it that BF3 comment was sarcasm since its a pretty decent game?
as i said before earlier in the thread this game will fail
no budget in first place to develop it finish it thats why you paid for alpha testing so they had finances to "finish it "
no game goes from alpha to beta in two weeks
look at when they let public dive in to play ? its when dayz is at weakest and when its just in the transition to standalone (3-4 weeks away )
so they had to release now or basically no one would have purchased it because dayz is bigger .
so basically the games been rushed to cash in on dayz stardom and get some of the players waiting for standalone a bit of something .
its basically a stepping stone game with no real life or hope of becoming anything.
dayz has its platform built it has the player base
this has nothing in comparison and will be dead within months.

but dayz isnt for every body, i cant stand the controls on it there rubbish and proper clunky make the gameplay shocking for me.
so this is the perfect solution, same as dayz but better graphics and controls...
I wouldn't go as far as saying it was same as Dayz or even close yet, given what weve seen so far. Give it time and im sure it'll find its own niche, good or bad.

He never deals in proof, references or quoted information. He comes up with opinions that he turns into fact in several paragraphs that make no grammatical sense.
He does record himself playing games so he knows everything about the industry.
This is the way of DG.
