We start our story with one question: “What is Day Z?”
The answer is that it is a little gem of a mod (currently in the Alpha stage at the moment) set in the sand-box open world military sim, ARMA II.
Now I know what you’re thinking; “Sandbox, open world? We’ve got Dead Island!”. Correct, you have…but this is a whole different kettle of fish.
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.
Best mod ever!!!!!
This game is better than any paid zombie game, and it really shows how much PC mods make a difference in the gaming community.
Omg i need a gaming PC DX
also a plus its Bringing a new crowd to the ARMA series which is always a plus for gaming and for servers
I already downloaded the mod but too scared to commit. I've read the horror stories from the field. They were...horrifying to read.
No, I don't mean the zombies. It's the real, non-scripted, back-stabbing humans who scare me the most. Zombie just want your brains. Humans just want to screw you over just for a can of beans.
