Like many of you I fell in love with Dayz mod. And like many of you I rushed out and got the alpha. Needless to say it was a huge letdown on almost every front. (Please save the "its alpha" speech its been said over and over again. And I, like you, I am entitled to my Opionion and expectations) My question to you is this. When and if Dayz standalone becomes a retail release, will it actually still be relavant vs other games of its type? Daymod was groundbreaking, exciting and all the things that make you not sleep and keep you running back for more. Since the time that Dayzmod got old and I couldnt stomach playing Dayz Standone Ive moved on to other mods. Ive spent countless hours playing Overwatch and Epoch both of which have taken Dayz to a different level. Epoch in particular on a number of levels to me is a "better" game than Dayzmod. It lacks much of the survivalist aspect for sure, but kills it in the not so boring department. Dont get me wrong I love the Eat bark and hide in the woods bit, but I can only take so much. At this point I kinda feel like the time for Day Standalone has come and gone. And my concern is that when it gets done its just going to be to much of "been there done that". Arma 3 Epoch is coming out soon and it looks insane. And it is just one of the MANY games that might make Dayz standalone look like your grandmas game. And for those that havent played Epoch, you should. Arma 3 epoch is in beta. Here is the link for a video. It doesnt give up much, but given that the Epoch guys have done so much with so little in arma II, I think this version will be awesome.
So will Dayz standalone be to little to late? Thoughts?
boom lets do this!
