Game looks sketch, but apparently recent patches have brought it up to par. Only reason I don't just buy it is... Would like to try it out before I buy it. I will let you know what I think of it and if you don't decide to buy it by beta I will give you 3 beta keys to use(you can reapply one after another during the beta for time) but so far I have really enjoyed it. It isn't very buggy and I haven't died to any "random" stuff, I dislike the global inventory being accessed from anywhere but that is just for Alpha, it will be changed in beta where you must be in a city. The dynamic lighting is amazing looking a step above DayZ and the sounds are definitely a step up from DayZ, there are random screams of zombies coming from the woods it is very immersive and enjoyable. It is very gorey when you beat the hell out of someone with a melee weapon but I kind of like that lol. Theres a lot more I can talk about but I will wait until later because I am sitting in a jail in the main city hiding writing this. | ||

What if they just want to make sure that the game is at least close to alpha level completion before announcing it and creating a website? Or they could just develop a game using the War Inc engine (which is totally by a different company). And the store so far does not really offer a game changing items like assault rifles. The only questionable thing they have done so far is copying ToS. You can believe what you want but I don't think we can really call them liars unless we have more definite proofs to back the claim. ... Look at the code. It's almost identical to War Inc. And yes they do offer game altering things in the store. You can buy food, medicine, ect. Thank god you can't buy guns, but this sort of stuff doesn't belong. (Food and medicine is almost more rare than a sniper rifle in the games current state)... | ||

Can you stop making rash accusations just trying to bash the game? First of all food and medicine is not rare, AT ALL , not even remotely rare. It is pretty common to find food water and medicine where as Sniper rifles are extremely rare, all guns in general are. Weapons will also have nerfed drop rates after alpha as well. WarZ and War Inc. using the same engine isn't a reason to bash on the game either, it is pretty common for games to share the same engine. It really does look like you are just searching for reasons to bash this game so please take your bullshit reasoning for hating this game and leave. | ||

That's one thing I've actually really liked about the gameplay vids I've watched (the graphics). I love DayZ's graphics as well, don't get me wrong, but it can be hard to see things sometimes for me and WarZ seems much simpler to see things in (during the day). Can't wait to hear more from you. With this post I'm definitely leaning towards just buying it  Edit: I don't care if it's a money grab, a copy of dayz, or a mod of something else. I'm after one thing, fun. Why would anything else matter to me? I think that discussion is useless in this thread. Double Edit: I'm actually not too concerned about the price, I just didn't want to be throwing money away. As the game is now, do you think it's worth 30$ | ||

As the game is now, do you think it's worth 30$ It is definitely worth 30$, I have bought this game along with 10 other people who I know and we are all enjoying it. They have been updating every day and fixing a lot of the glitches with Alpha. My tip for you if you get it, don't play alone in the dark with the sound up, it is terrifying. Oh also last thing it will be 10$ more expensive after the 20th(I believe not for sure the exact date) If you would like to play with me and some other people PM me and ill give you my skype. | ||

For them to use the guest keys it has to be after October 31st when the game goes into beta, until then you can join me and play with me(anyone here is welcome to join just pm me for skype). I play with a few other people who also played DayZ so we have a lot of fun going around together, anyone is welcome to join us. To the guy posting just above me, I will give you a guest key after October 31st when it is available for the keys to be used. Edit: Nvm ill just PM you a key Double edit: PM'ed my skype to you | ||

If you don't buy it, you are the one that has to provide proof. DayZ standalone is a mod of Arma 2 so your arguments are invalid. Do you know how burden of proof works? I don't think you do. If you are the one who is making the claim then you have to prove that your claims to be true. The reason the studio has to prove they started development before dayz came out is to prove that they aren't greedy arseholes who are scabbing off dayz's success for money. If dayz never came out then they wouldn't need to prove themselves. Also I never mentioned anything about dayz standalone being a mod of arma 2/3 nor does it have any baring on my point. | ||

That being said I am not impressed so far, if someone wants to toss me one of those keys that I can use at the end of the month I would be very appreciative. I would like to get to try it since I haven't seen much gameplay, I guess it is because it is under NDA or something? It's under NDA until like November 2nd or something yes. (Unless that was LoL and they just forgot to remove it? | ||

On October 17 2012 10:40 Veldril wrote: Well, no one can prove that the game was started after DayZ became popular. They claimed that the game has been in development for a couple of years already and that might be true (or not). There's really no conclusive evidence (only circumstantial evidence, which is debatable) that the game is not developed until DayZ was out. The worst case is that they intended the game to be a single player game but changed to multiplayer after DayZ was released. The following was posted on their facebook page and promptly deleted shortly after. However people got screenshots of it before it was taken down. Someone reposted the text on reddit(?) and here's a screenshot of it. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nuUOr.jpg) Been vaguely following this game. Intradasting to say the least. It has Pando Media Booster apparently, so no way in hell I'm even going to try this game and put that bloatware shit on my computer. Honestly I always kind of felt the conclusion the spoilered post made in the tl;dr was the case, but it's seeming more and more like that every day. That this is just something to cash in on DayZ's success before DayZ gets a standalone game, hoping people who can't wait will buy this instead. It seems like a quick cash grab in every way. Now I can very well be wrong, and I'm not debating whether it's fun or not, or whether it's pay to win or not or what have you. I know very little about this game and have seen very little gameplay other than the youtube links of comparing it to the War Inc. engine and some early leaked footage of it. All I'm saying is, it's kind of sketchy from the outside of things. And I never even played DayZ for more than like a few hours. I think like I got bored around 15 in, which is weird considering how much of a huge fan of survival games I am o_o That said, I agree with the person a few above. Who cares if a game is started because another was successful? It encourages competition. What I have a problem with is cheap, knockoff cash grabs, which this may very well be. | ||

I am not involved in any side of this argument, but you keep hammering this burden of proof thing and it's getting irritating. From my perspective, you (among others) are the one claiming they are greedy arseholes when they are just making a game. Saying they have to prove they are NOT greedy shows that somebody started claiming they were without any proof (only hints, which I agree with) in the first place. Yup, guys above me got it right and brings proofs. | ||
