Robbing people is not that easy and puts yourself at risk, I have successfully robbed people and then there are the times I have been murdered by the guy in their group I did not notice. Your post reads like the thousands of other people who have been frustrated by KoS, you will now KoS because someone else did it to you. Maybe the guys who killed you fell into the same frustration loop and now KoS since it has happened to them so many times. Chernarus has never been a friendly place, people who are still idealistic just think it still has a chance to be friendly.

BF4 has single handedly destroyed the brand for many longtime battlefield fans so I wouldn't use that as a good reference. Early Access titles are starting to get stale, by the time development is completed many customers have already moved on. Rust is doing a complete overhaul but I doubt it will ever be as popular as their bare bones early access product and as a fan of games it sucks to be over a concept before it is fully fleshed out. As an impatient hypocrite I also end up purchasing many of these games so I get that companies are going to try to cash in on that impulse. Loved the mod and still have hopes for the standalone, but I am tired of the early access model. One thing I don't get is the fans turning on Dean Hall, he has always seemed brutally honest about the shortcomings of this game and even actively tried to tell many customers to wait to pay money for the standalone. Not many developers would be willing to actively derail their own hype train so if people want to blame someone for buying a bare bones early access title look in the mirror.

Only the master race gets a discount, plebs get to pay full retail (Hope the sarcasm was obvious)..

Lol hackers suck and all but that guy 3rd person camping was an exploiting asshole himself. Oh no someone cheated to counter my cheat, that bastard. FYI I am not even 100% against 3rd person, but people like that guy make it hard to defend.

One of the problems with BF4 and BF3 was the size of the maps coupled with the small server sizes on consoles. I built my computer right after BF3 released and I did enjoy it on Xbox but after playing it on PC I realized I had been playing BF3 lite edition. The current generation consoles can host larger servers (I think, I don't own one since I am no longer a broke college student) which could make it more appealing to the constant action crowd. But those are shooting games and if I am in the mood for an FPS I do want more action than the small servers on large maps BF3 offered on Xbox 360 and PS3. I think there is a market for a game like DayZ on PS4 even if it is just a niche market. I have buddies who only own consoles who have been interested in DayZ for quite some time. If the game comes out in a more complete state it might even enjoy mainstream success as it has on PC.

Good for Bohemia, I have been secretly critical of the SA (meaning I don't complain on the forums since I did get the game for free from the company) but I still think it can be something worth playing eventually. Those who did not sink tons of hours into the mod can even enjoy the bare bones experience of the early Alpha and find it very enjoyable. Even having said that I don't see how this is controversial, they have enough revenue to hire a team for porting over a console version and worst case scenario PC gamers get to feel smug (like we need any help in that department) that consoles get a bad PC port for once. From what I understand (which isn't that much) current generation consoles utilize a similar development process to PC's, but even if they did not they could justify hiring additional staff for the console version due to the revenue generated by Early Access and the prospect of opening up a new market to sell the game. I really do not see why so many people seem upset except some of the people (cough cough Gibonez) are perpetually upset at every stupid topic. So talking about how you dislike the pace of standalone development has nothing to do with the PS4 announcement. Discussing how you dislike the direction of the SA has nothing to do with PS4. Essentially if you have some huge problem with this announcement odds are you are a PC elitist (which I can be guilty of as well) and/or a hippy who doesn't understand how basic business works. If people want the product make the product.

I was surprised that made it into the standalone game. I have always hated the scroll menu and have died quite a few times due to having it open when combat starts and I end up drawing my pistol in a slow animation as my opponent laughs about pawning some noob.

Lol if you want to be a millionaire develop an anti hack program that catches everyone. If you think Bohemia is the only gaming company unable to get rid of hacking then you have not been a PC gamer for that long. I know Bohemia games are easier to hack than the average game, but almost every game suffers from cheaters.

The whole point of early access alpha is to get funding even if they say different or other people say different. That is not an evil goal either, there are too many people who do not understand that video games are a business and putting this game with a ton of hype out on Early Access was the best business decision to make and is better for the game as well since it allowed for additional hiring. But Early Access is not all about caring what the player base thinks they want in the game or even listening to all of the divergent opinions. It offers a great opportunity to stress test and test features, otherwise I doubt they care all that much about many individual opinions.

I am not mad about the pace of development but I am holding back on playing the standalone at this point. They have been pretty upfront with their timeline for many of the features people are wanting and while I hate to say this Bohemia has a track record of producing fun yet buggy games. I expect many of the issues to persist through Beta and full release especially the desync issue that is present in Arma 2 and Arma 3 although less pronounced. Other issues like zombie count and bugs will probably be resolved but I doubt at the speed many people hope for. I took a couple month break from the standalone and just recently fired it up again and was pleased with the progress but not to the point where I see myself playing it all that often. They were upfront about the amount of time this game needed to go into Beta and they have a track record that anyone interested in the game should have looked up (buggy fun games). If you are angry about that maybe it will convince some people to stop buying early access/Alpha titles.

No gun should ever be regulated. Murica out

It is the new Overpoch mod, pretty fun and mixes Overwatch weapons with Epoch base building and traders. I felt a twinge of Lingor nostalgia and actually reinstalled the mod a couple weeks ago and have been having some fun.

I think people either forget the mod or never played the mod when they think the person in the car is somehow the biggest threat. Cars have always been bullet magnets and when they were rare in the mod you were more worried about getting killed trying to get gas than people were of hearing a vehicle. Cars were insanely easy to damage/disable so I would be more concerned with people without vehicles camping gas sources than the people with vehicles dominating. I got my first car in dayz by camping a gas station and killing the previous owner.

I seriously doubt this retooled engine will ever get there, it might be more acceptable in the future but I just assume anything from Bohemia Interactive will come out rough around the edges. A better question is can the game release enough content and bug fixes to make it interesting again, only time will tell.
