I think my favourite thing about DayZ was the setting and how bleak it feels, while this looks a bit more flamboint and contemporary (not a good thing). I feel I'll end up preferring DayZ's standalone over this, I personally don't think Rocket's doing a poor job, so I should enjoy it. I am a little turned off by WarZ nicking things from what is a free mod with 'lol we're ripping off dayz" as their title. Plus I don't understand why the game model is pretty much free to play without actually being free, they want money up front (because they probably know the game will be popular) but then want their players to put up with currency, gold and membership deals, fuck off.
Saying that though, I probably will end up buying it. A chance to play a DayZ that isn't wobbly, glitchy and arkward to play, and despite being a rip off it looks like it could be very much it's own game. I do think it will be a good game if it doesn't turn out to be pay to win.
Well free games are always shit. Always.
Not always, if micro-transactions are handled properly there's nothing to say it can't enjoyable game which still makes money.
