Influx of <1h negative reviews?

[imagineak]

Now, I'm not for or against DayZ just yet, I simply think I haven't played enough of 1.0 to have a vote. So don't think I'm biased (I have an old negative DayZ review myself).

But what the hell is happening? There is an insane amount of negative reviews by people who haven't even played 1 hour of DayZ and apparently they recieved the game "via Steam key" (at least Steam says so).

You are reviewing DayZ after literally minutes of playing. DayZ... Hello? This game is insanely big and I think this is hurting it's image.

Not really, I would love to see someone load a magazine with bullets that is in their backpack. Some magic happening there. You would think one would have to remove the bullets from the backpack/pocket before loading them into the magazine that has to be in your hand. What people are not understanding is that Dayz is going for "realism" but can only do so much in a VIDEOGAME. .

I am so tired of the "realism" argument and the backpack argument, yet with the current system you CAN hotbar a magazine or bullet in from your backpack and reload!

If they just had a proper reload system and make it so you can hit "R" to reload a magazine in your packback, it must be in vest/pockets completely reasonable.

It's a videogame after all, some quality of life things should be good...

Again, once you understand the mechanics it really is a non-issue.

Lmao so many of these comments are actually bad.


Dude said how he was watching someone else play DayZ before he actually installed it.


In his comment he says that he was confused by the lack of map and how the game made him waste time on trying to make a bow when it was actually not in the game.

Or how he was getting screwed over by bugs and different problems, including one the developers were 'working on' for 7 months.


His post was civil and he explained what he thought was wrong with the game, and what did he get in response?


People only reading his comment for 5 seconds and then replying "Lol ur just a nub who didn't even try to learn the game lmao go away"


If you think you are helping the game by bullying new players who have problems then you are very, very, VERY wrong.

its more quality of life than a real problem. Why reinvent the wheel?

Why not, why be like everyone else? It is what the developers chose to do. You can choose to either play or not play. Life is full of choices, but you should choose wisely.

Sorry but I have to disagree with the OP, as people have all the right to complain and protest the fact that the company that sells the game and advertises it has said this new version to be the 1.0 release version, when it clearly is NOT just that.

You should remember that the best way to make something better is to give it some negative criticism, WHEN it is due. I for one think that Bohemia Interactive made really bad decision to push this buggy mess of a incomplete game out as a 1.0 version, it is misinformation.

To expect 1.0 release to contain every major feature that your software has been marketed having, is just plain common sense.

I, for one, can not accept this BS from major game company to destroy the reputation of the project just for quick cashout on christmas sales, because there is no reason to do this now, this was the one thing that they should have always avoided, to sell product as "Finished" when everybody knows that it is not that.

Now somebody reads steam storepage and learns that DayZ has finally entered 1.0 stage, and is to be considered somewhat final version. And then they see in streams or gameplay footage that the game is utter garbage compared to what is expected, and then they might just forget buying the game, maybe even forever.

When they bring us the true final release version, only then I can really judge and recommend the game if I like it, but as of now, you simply cant justify this sort of behaviour from Bohemia Interactive, this is what game industry should always avoid.

1.0 does not equate to a full release and no dev has even stated that this is the full release. Jesus, Empyrion Galactic Survival is in Alpha 9.0

There is just no pleasing kids these days and they surely do not understand game development. Most are entitled and want everything now.

[Vilemouse]

its not that they are entitled, in most sense 1.0 means finished.. software/game development on the other hand it sometimes doesn't.

BI didn't help themselves saying 1.0 was release.. they should have said 1.0 is beta and in a stable, buildable condition

I stopped reading when he said he was upset about pressing "M" and no map popped up. LOL

Sadly 1.0 does mean it is a finish game that's why they should of called this .64 because they are still working on it

This is the problem right here is that the people who give dayz bad reviews are mostly new to the game and get mad when they die to a zombie and call it a glitch or they are trolls with 0.1 hours on the game and do it just to screw over the dev's. Now was this 1.0 release forced by the company that pays the dayz dev's we all know who....... yes it was. Is this 1.0 exceptable to release as a full game, no its not in fact not even close there are still tons of bugs with hit reg and zombies, cars etc. It also did not help that when it was released the FPS was horrible. Yes I know they fixed it in a day, but you know how people are these days.... inpatient. To say that dayz is trash well yes it is trash still a buggy mess, but hey it's a buggy mess that all of us love and just want to see get finished all ready and need to note I have over 7k hours on dayz so I have the "right" to say that. One last thing I've just seen all the comments of people saying the dev's are done working on the game. No there not

Not even partially true. I bought this game when it hit Steam and at no point in it's life have the zombies even worked right let alone kill a new player. Most of them can't even leave their spawn point. lul.

[DoctorV93]

it was just point i was making about how dumb people are with knowing what a glitch is and not them just being bad
