AWESOMEoutof10's David Arce has spent some time surviving in the harsh wastelands of Eastern Europe. Mostly he was shot a bunch and looted, but sometimes zombies actually killed him! "So is DayZ worth the $30 asking price at this point? If you have a bunch of friends who would play with you then I’d definitely recommend it, even in its current state. However, if you’re looking for a more single player experience or don’t have any willing chums to stay out the End of Days, you’re better off waiting for a more complete version or a price cut, whichever comes first. Regardless, DayZ is definitely deserving of its popularity, as it’s one of the most enjoyable multiplayer experiences I’ve ever had."
DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."
Yes, I saw that! The DayZ Frostline DLC has indeed faced a lot of backlash from players who feel that the $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.
It's definitely a heated debate.
DayZ has now managed to hit its new all-time-high player numbers with the release of the new Frostline expansion.
DayZ hotfix 1.25 is finally out, but instead of fixing the oft-complained-about duping glitch, the issue still hasn't been addressed.
