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.
It's a mess. You can't go anywhere urban (where all the fun stuff is) or it shits the bed.
"To enter a server, it takes 10 to 20 minutes" - Jesus really? That's brutal.
With the framerate spiking and dropping the way it does why didn't they just lock this game at 30fps with no screen tearing? It judders a lot when the frames take a hit.
Imagine being one of the forerunners of the BR boom via a mod for your game on PC and then dropping the ball almost entirely on it.
I hope they work out the kinks of the game, but I don't see the game ever doing well on consoles with the competition that is out there right now.
