Disagree. People are still clamoring for such a game hence the crazy popularity of the day after. There has yet been a game that had done it better than dayz stand alone. Which took nearly a decade to actually get good. If a triple a studio actually did a zombie mmo right it would be hella popular. Shit if the day after devs could pivot their game to be what they said it would be people would come flocking back.
Im with you on this, the issue I see is that to get a really big number of zombies, like for a proper “horde” to behave correctly would be a hell of a computing task. Especially when 20 players start throwing grenades into the middle.
lol it’s funny, all of the articles I see about this game mention that it’s a “Zombie MMO” in the title. Like, I get that it was suggested that it would be, but it’s objectively not.
It still calls itself an MMO in its Steam description:
The Day Before offers players a uniquely reimagined journey into post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival set in the present day on the US East Coast following a deadly pandemic.
In this particular instance the journalists are doing their job. It was advertised as an MMO. They could change it to “so-called zombie MMO” or something, but that wouldn’t be as neutral as the current title.
Wow, you stirred up some kind of hornets nest. I, for one, don’t see anything wrong with any of your comments. They were perhaps blunt at times, but never derisive or derogatory, just thought I should put it out there.
Studio or Publisher? Because Wolfenstein and Doom are not boring *EDIT hmm down votes without comments why…I sense redditors. *EDIT sorry if I offended anyone.
Personally I find all games made by Bethesda boring. Modding though is what made them great. By then end of Skyrim it was more Saints Row than Elder Scrolls and loved it.*EDIT How do people disagree with my opinion? Most people I know agree modded Bethesda games are better.
Some people have made “Bethesda” their trigger word and reflexively bite everyone saying it out. Right before they claim everyone else is at fault for that.
You need to go check out this game. It’s like the No Man’s Sky situation all over again but on a MUCH, WORSE scale. To put it into context, imagine Bethesda promised Starfield, and delivered Asteroids, but it only sometimes worked.
What Fntastic put out is borderline criminal for the price they asked you to pay.
Just trying to understand you better by asking questions. Something that seems to have made you angry. So sorry I wanted to understand you better. Have a great day.
You don’t get to tell us what you think is a Redditor thing to do. We’ve all spent time there, we know how it all works, we don’t need you to tell us how it works.
Actually if you look at my comments I am trying to be understanding. Most everyone else has been hostile. First time ever seeing this on Lemmy. So all I can say is sorry if I offended anyone and tried to understand others. Have a great day.
I’ll assume you mean well but that you’re just not super well versed in communicating over text.
You’re coming across as snarky and condecending. The easiest example to help pinpoint a clear example is when you asked if the person you responded to spoke English as their primary language. From a very charitable perspective it could be construed as a benign question, aimed at helping you understand why you didn’t understand each other (since you had differing opinions).
But given the context of an argument, an argument on the Internet at that, the first instinct for pretty much everyone is to assume it’s meant as an ad hominem, an attempt at discrediting the person criticizing you by belittling them for their spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
It’s also important to know that when you’re replying many times in a thread people will likely read more than one of your comments so it’s enough for one of them to come of snarky/condescending/elitist etc for that to the color the reading of all your other comments. This is exactly how we handle verbal communication as well as humans, it only takes one shitty joke, instance of poor attitude or a rude comment for everyone in earshot to form an opinion about what kind of person they deem you likely to be. People with a larger sample size of your behaviour might chalk it up to a bad day or a reaction to something someone else did earlier.
I can see that in your first comment, but all the responses after that definitely come across as needlessly confrontational and I can’t see how you feel that’s being “understanding” personally.
Lots of replies which don’t actually address or respond to comments but rather attempt to put the other person down, example:
Attacking people’s replies but then suggesting they replied to the wrong person (which one is it?)
Attacking someone’s language/typing skills instead of responding.
Suggesting anyone who disagreed with you are “behaving like redditors”
These little put downs come across as attempting to belittle the person you’re replying to and is a common way to “win a debate” by discouraging the other person from replying, in the absence of actually having a discussion.
I have no intention of winning anything. I am a IT and guess direct and to the point. Sometimes just being inquisitive. Though I do notice many over the last year have gotten more aggressive for just asking. I still don’t see a issue with my statements. How are we suppose to understand each other if we don’t ask questions?

My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
I was thinking maybe it’s time to try it out but… You have to buy it?!! I was certain this would be free 2 play.
It’d be tough to scam people if it was f2p
Zombies and MMOs, two concepts that were outdated at least 10 years ago.
Wrong, there are several popular MMO and Zombie games today. I would argue MMOs are due a for a comeback
I can’t name any zombie mmos, nevermind a well made one.
And with this game, you still can’t!
Doesn’t mean that zombies aren’t overdone AF.
Disagree. People are still clamoring for such a game hence the crazy popularity of the day after. There has yet been a game that had done it better than dayz stand alone. Which took nearly a decade to actually get good. If a triple a studio actually did a zombie mmo right it would be hella popular.

What decade? It’ll probably be 2030 before it’s playable no less “good” DayZ is a joke since the mod was abandoned for SA.

Wait until you learn about MMOs and medieval fantasy…
Its not a zombie mmo tho
It’s not an anything anymore. Devs just went under and the servers will be down once they don’t get paid. What a farce!!

And the dev has officially declared to be closing it’s doors.

Reads list of games they published “Hmm never heard of any of them”.
That’s cause they were mediocre and also abandoned shortly after launch.
It’s hard to patch out boring, ask Bethesda

Neither is Starfield.

Normal discussions are now nigh impossible.

Did you mean to respond to OP and not me?
Oof that bad huh? I had considered getting it if goes on sale in the future just to see if it is as bad as people say but…damn.
If you really need to try it at some point, I can recommend using Xbox/pc game pass to palt it first before buying it
Publisher means that all thwy did is narketting the game ofc they mean Studio
Is English not your first language? *EDIT How is this question negative? How would you ask?
What’s it to ya? I just have trouble typing acurately on mobile 🖕
Just trying to understand you better by asking questions. Something that seems to have made you angry. So sorry I wanted to understand you better. Have a great day.

It’s funny you say you smell Redditors because you’re acting exactly like one. Maybe it’s you
Assuming my statement was implied negative without asking context is a very redditors thing to do. Also think you replied to wrong comment.
You don’t get to tell us what you think is a Redditor thing to do. We’ve all spent time there, we know how it all works, we don’t need you to tell us how it works.
Pretty sure the downvotes are because you’re behaving like an asshat.

Blows my mind that you had to explain this to him. Props for the effort though.
I can see that in your first comment, but all the responses after that definitely come across as needlessly confrontational and I can’t see how you feel that’s being “understanding” personally.
That said, it’s all good.
Can you explain how they are confrontational? I do like debating but I do not intend to anger anyone.
Sure,

Fuck you.
People disliking your post doesn’t mean you’re entitled to an explanation each time.
Why people care about votes?? I don’t get it.
