>three years of (((Early Access)))?

No fucking way it's ONLY been 3 years. Either way I can't imagine anyone giving a shit about this game after all the other clones and rehashes that have been competently released with large player counts over the course of this games dev life.

I'm guessing three years for the stand alone and probably half a decade from when it was still a mod for arma.

>>15838652

Oh right it started off as a mod. I'll go get the time from then.

I actually used to go to their forum monthly to laugh at the people and even that feels like ages ago

>>15838659

>>15838652

Looks like late 2011/early 2012 for starting mod development. Something close to 8 years for this joke of a game.

Despite how shitty the dev team is, I really hope it actually turns into something decent.

I just want to go back, to the days when you had to use Dayz commander to boot up your Operation Arrowhead mod

>>15838629

I can't wait for Star Citizen to suffer the same fate. The salt will keep me sated for decades to come.

>>15838672

The origins of DayZ began with an old OFP Zombie Mod from 2001. So all in all, try 15+ years.

>>15838756

Jesus.

is it safe to blame DayZ for popularizing the Battle Royale/survival resurgence that resulted in Fortnite being what it is today?

>>15838702

>Star Citizen

I forgot about that shit, wasn't it crowdfuned as well?

Imagine the salt of hundreds of people who pre-ordered ships that will never come

>>15838787

I think that's a fair assessment. Not many originators of a genre stay at the top of the genre that long.

>>15838787

It was the inspiration for BR yes, but I think all of the blame goes to H1Z1

>>15838787

100%

>>15838787

No the final,blame for what gaming has to come today rests mostly with valve

Valve is responsible for every single shit trend

>>15838629

Now which early access crafting survival zombie game was this again?

>>15838761

I remember playing it on LAN in 2001/2002, played exactly like DayZ but people tended to group up instead of just shooting each other. Had bigger zombie hordes than DayZ that would run after you, find loot in houses on the way, try to survive! Very difficult with random spawns and a heavy fog effect bringing the view distance down. Great fun!

>>15838787

Yes and also the Early Access shit.

>>15838787

Nope, it was Minecraft.

>>15838813

Cosmetic microtransactions and random item crates are the only things Valve really pioneered. Your predictable next statement is false as well: cinematicism in video games had existed years prior to the Half Life series.

>>15838787

>DayZ 1.0

>"We couldn't ass ourselves to finish the game and money is getting a little tight, so we are claiming this as a finished game to squeeze out more shekels"

My only regret is I can't personally strangle the damn idiots who defended this shit long after it was clear that it wouldn't be anything close to the mod it was based off of.

Any unlucky subhuman attempt to play this recently? Last I played they still couldn't have players establish a permanent base, mostly thanks to the fact barrels and other storage you could set up would despawn randomly, along with all the shit you placed in in.

The worst part of Day Z was the gay faggot Orlok who banned anyone for wrong think.

>>15839099

>still can't have a permanent base

It almost feels like the devs were influenced by H1Z1's and PUBG's success as BRs, and they slowly turned away from the roots in the mod.

>>15838787

Battle Royale was repopularized by another Arma 2 mod, and Minecraft servers hosting Battle Royale games.

But popularizing survival was DayZ's fault

At this point i don't think anyone gives a shit about this game, it's been "out" for many years and its spin offs are more popular

>>15838859

There was an ArmA 2 mod like that I played exactly one time with a group of milsim autists (friendly though) after their scheduled events were done for the day. I was on their VoIP server and they changed the map to almost exactly what you described. Our objective was to siphon enough fuel by looking around the island to fuel up a helicopters and leave. Easily the most fun zombie experience I ever had, we managed to get a working humvee with .50 cal and there was an intense moment where I got to man the .50 against a horde running at us in open road. We had split the team and the rest were scavenging houses nearby, we didn't want to waste fuel so we weren't just driving the hummer from house to house like you'd typically expect. Stayed up well into the wee hours playing before we won.

>>15839442

I know thats you carlos you spic

Can we now refund this since its no longer EA?

>>15840285

Oy vey.

>>15839531

There was apparently a stretch of time where they removed the fucking zombies from the game because they were too buggy.

>>15844234

One of the original excuses they had for making a standalone version was to fix zombies doing things like attacking through walls. All these years later and zombies still do this.

>>15838652

2013 is when Arma 3 came out, anon.

>>15838629

Coming out of what, the closet?

>>15838813

Really? I usually pin that on Microsoft

So, I played this game yesterday.

To the two niggers playing on the official experimental servers that died yesterday outside of Gorka, after killing my friend even though you said you were friendly, fuck you, I am glad I got to shoot both of your faggot faces.

That is all.

>>15845336

Microsoft did a lot of bad shit too

>>15845349

You should know better anon.

Never forget: Around Blacks Never Relax

>>15845354

I felt bad about it, I was the one that told my friend to ask them if they were friendly. They said yes, and when my friend walked around the corner, they shot him without hesitation. I tracked the faggots down otw to Stary and nailed both of their faggot asses from a bush.

Felt

Good

>>15839531

I expected it to happen sooner or later, the sheer number of retards who just didn't like how the mod first started out would eventually convince the devs to change it. Which they did.

>>15845349

>trusting niggers ever

you still seem to have some leftist reality mentality in you. Work on that

>>15838787

Yep. DayZ -> PUBG -> Fortnite

As a rule I never buy Early Access games, so its good to see this finally see release. That said, its been in EA for so long the hype is almost dead.

>>15838629

Remember when the arma 2 mod was a fresh hardcore take on fps? And you would watch videos of slavs having fun like in a multiplayer stalker.

Pretty funny than this game is already irrelevant (comparatively speaking) because the genre it's helped popularize has spawned games that have far surpassed it in popularity.

>>15846614

Rust doesn't factor into that timeline. While inspired by Dayz, what it's trying to do is distinctly different from Battle Royale.

>>15838787

Weren't quake and unreal MP battle royal games?

>>15846652

also

DOTA?

That's like the ultimate BR game

>>15838629

Can it be pirated and played single player?

>>15846634

Dean Hall had an excellent vision but ultimately he was just a scatterbrained cucklord. Rust is pretty much what the PvP of DayZ was supposed to be with server wipes.

>>15846651

Rust is the primordial BR with shitty basebuilding.

>>15846657

or private server?

>>15846657

>>15846704

I think there's a mod to play offline but I wouldn't.

>>15845555 (checked)

>implying they were literal niggers

T'was a figure of speech. I wasn't actually there when it went down, so I don't know if they were kangs or not.

>>15846704

Don't think they exist.

is this the game that was made by big rigs developers?

>>15860501

No? This was made by one kiwi autist.
