Realism

[Immersive 121]

I love the way DayZ SA goes into trying to make little details that add into realism stand out. However, sometimes I think that the community is a bit jaded on whether they think it's a game or not. Games don't have to be totally realistic to be fun, and some of the community shouldn't be so quick to freak out if something isn't so realistic. It's a GAME it's supposed to be FUN, add to much realism and it takes the fun away.

And before people start ripping me saying the game isnt hardcore enough, you just sound like a bunch of hipsters just looking for a reason to bash a worn out franchise like call of duty using it as a crutch for your skinny jean wearing ideals. "B-But muh realistic bean simulator"

i fell one story and died fuck this game ive jumped off two story buildings irl

Tell that to the sim guys they will do a simulated torturing on you... :rolleyes:

 

It's just too bad that BIS is known for it's close to real thing unlike other companies. If DICE was making DayZ ppl wouldn't really bother i guess. Oh yeah and you would prolly be able to jump from the second floor with a parachute...?

The devs pick and choose what aspects of realism they want to put in.

Certain realistic things can ruin gameplay

Certain entertainment factors have to ignore reality.

Like what if you stepped on a rusty nail and could only hop on one leg until you found a tetanus shot at the nearest hospital 3km away? Too realistic? What about only eating once every 8 days without starving to death, would make eating far less important and potentially ruin gameplay.

Point is, don't expect a perfect simulator. It's modeled after real life but there are some creative liberties to ensure you have the best (or worst) experience possible in a video game.

Ikr I was just about to mention that. Fall off a two inch stair in a barn? Break both legs and wait for a bandit to stumble across you and force feed you rotten bananas til you get sick and die.

My problem isnt with what the devs think, it's what the community thinks. They want it to be more "hardcore" just so they can say it's better than call of duty. It's annoying and it just comes off edgy and impractical. If I wanted to play go run for an hour so realistic simulator I'd just go outside. Why play a game for fun when it can be just like real life! Logic yeah!

Literally the point of this post is to only insult a specific social demographic that you have generalized into one narrow description, while including their clothing and political styles...for..no..apparent..reason..?

Very odd.

Odd how you added politics into this when I said nothing of the sort.

That's what they thought about the Sims and it became wildly popular. A game that simulates all the mundane shit you're neglecting in real life? People made the same argument, "Why play a game for fun when it can be just like real life! Logic yeah!"

When modding comes out, people will make super hardcore servers, and some will be off the wall ridiculous. Right now it's just getting bugs out.

Thanks for the reply. Not too sure how modding/hives is gonna turn out in SA. Edited January 14, 2014 by Immersive

i fell one story and died fuck this game ive jumped off two story buildings irl

 

One story is 3.5 meters. You've jumped and landed a 3.5 meter drop? Ok...

 

Do that again with 20 kg of gear and a rifle in your hands...

Odd that's the one thing you concentrated on from my paragraph response. Being a hipster isn't just a fashion style. There's nothing of value to this post. I've wasted enough of my own time.

Dayz mod was built on a mil sim.

 

Had dayz had the shooting mechanics of any other game it would have not been anywhere near as successful.

 

What makes dayz special is the realism and the more it has the better.

 

The game should go for 100 percent realism.

i don't use backpacks in game im pretty minimalist

What exactly about the game don't you like? What is too real or you? The game is supposed to be hard. It might take you 2, 3, 4, or 10 lives to learn where to go and where not to go, what to take with you and what to leave. The running or 25+ minutes is temporary until they get vehicles up and working. Fair warning, it will take some work to get a vehicle running. Patience is a virtue in Day Z, don't expect to spawn, grab a gun and blast away right off the bat. 

Good luck

K guess if I want to climb up a ladder In real life I can jus-

"You are dead"

Zombie apocalypse in real life? Better run to this safe building! The zombies will never get in here! *zombie walks through wall like it never existed.*

Ever read that big, shiny pop-up when you launch the game?

These things would both be fixed by realism.
