Thanks for posting. Yeah, I agree I believe this decision was made because of the release on console. Im hoping that with Arma 4 they dont make this same choice. That was my main reason for voicing my concern. Because if Arma 4 ends up playing like dayz now there will be no hope of a truly hardcore survival experience in the foreseeable future.
Thank you for posting. And thanks for linking that video. That is the same one I watched as well and was what made me aware of the flaws in the current system and drove me to make this post.
Thank you for posting. Yes, I hope as well they do get some attention. However, my true worry is that these sacrifices to realism and simulation will spill over into the next Arma game. That is my true fear and the main reason I voiced my concerns.
I completely disagree. They may not be the "complete" foundation of the game. As there are many more like Survival, Looting and Base building. But they are irrefutably foundational to the game. I would agree that the game "feels great" in the sense that it is smooth but smoothness does not mean that the game as a whole is very good. Especially in this case where they sacrifice Realism and Simulation to make it happen in a game that is supposedly a "Survival Simulator". I believe what is happening is that people from the mod (the origins of the game) are being outnumbered by those that recently got into the game whether it be console or pc and have no experience with the games previous "feeling" of the past. And have no idea that the game can be so much better like it was in the past that they were able to experience.
