Why nobody will be buying Day Z standalone

[lordopeth 274]

Standalone will be much better, we ARE playing an Alpha at this point. Some of the items in the picture you pointed out make me think you are just craving for some of that internet attention. It is ONE picture, ONE small scene, obviously designed (whether good or bad) to depict what the game is about in a quick wrap up. Yes the game is going to be heavily based on the work he has done so far with the Arma 2 platform. Why would it not be? Spend all this time developing the game on this only to then rip it out from under everything and replace it with something that then has to be reworked and take longer? As for the log... its his logo he made for the DayZ mod... if the game is going to stay DayZ, why change the logo? That's brand recognition right there. As for 90% of you folks saying "Yeah this game is gunna suck! Im not buying it..." A couple days, maybe weeks after the standalone is released... you all will follow guaranteed.

How not to get joke:

1) Don't read OP

2) Click directly to last page

3) View negative post of someone else who followed steps 1 and 2

4) Rant

At least the new engine will make it look nice, right?

To put it in Fallout terms... I think your "Perception" stat needs a boost.

[sonicrainbrony 136]

[kentk94 194]

Definitely will not buy. This looks like Battlefield. What a crock.

SERENITY NOW!

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket 8]

I do like DayZ to a degree, but considering the competition is free, wondering what Bohemia is planning on doing to make it worth a $60 game.

( im assuming it will be $60 as thats the going price for commercial games, yes i know Minecraft is diffrent, but there is a diffrence between indie studio pricing their stuff and a major studio such as BI, BI has a higher overhead, where a small indie doesnt have as much )

( edit - and why would somebody stop playing the free version of the current DayZ and pay, and before everybody flames, remember when everybody complains about DayZ, everybody jumps on the " its Alpha you didnt pay for DayZ " crap )

I know it's your job and all to settle the masses, but don't you think it's more fun to let them go off on their little ignorant tangents? :P
