mgc 92 Posted March 29, 2014 Am I the only one who heavily dislikes all this ´´realism vs fun´´ talking...?It assumes that less realism objectively leads to more fun and vice versa...No, you're not. In DayZ, the human element is a lot stronger as often the only monsters you are faced with are real people trying to survive in real conditions.If you want a game that focuses more on game-play than realism, try the old mod. More guns and less realism is not going to make anyone happy. Removing features for the sake of catering to people that don't like them when a majority have come to appreciate the feature isnt either. ""In DayZ, the human element is a lot stronger as often the only monsters you are faced with are real people trying to survive in real conditions.""You mean in the current alpha. This is not DayZ yet. ""If you want a game that focuses more on game-play than realism, try the old mod.""There are 1000's of games that cater to those who don't care about realism. That's also 1 of the reasons there are so many players that don't mind and even crave unrealistic features. ""More guns and less realism is not going to make anyone happy.""Apparently it makes some people happy. "Removing features for the sake of catering to people that don't like them when a majority have come to appreciate the feature isnt either."I suppose we can reintroduce segregation then?everyone wants snipers and guns, yet they claim they want realism.They've stopped claiming to want realism. They openly admit they don't care and have bought the game cause of the hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doublebrain 255 Posted March 29, 2014 Am I the only one who heavily dislikes all this ´´realism vs fun´´ talking...?It assumes that less realism objectively leads to more fun and vice versa... But thats not how DayZ works. Actually its not about fun at all... besides the shooting but if you want to shoot people you could play any other FPS game. Any feature which makes +gameplay and -realism wouldnt fit into DayZ.(Not sure if you wanted to say that you want less realism and more gameplay, if not eh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
