I wish there would still be a wider support for dedicated servers a'la Half-Life 1 / Counterstrike 1 that you could either run on your pc or on a VPS somewhere. But I guess since companies then can't monetize continued access that train has left the station.

Because right now they provide servers for PVP without additional monetization if you just buy the standard edition.

They said they can't give it to EoD users right now because it would overload their servers. If they released a dedicated server that problem would most certainly go away.

I mean, great that they're just completely taking basically everything back but between the idea that they did it in the first place and the stuff in the leaked interview I'm sure that they've taken a ton of self inflicted damage e: aside from the general tone being "i'm sorry that you morons are upset by any of this and I'm sorry that I didn't get away with this bullshit without complaint" hopterque fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Apr 28, 2024 |

It's straight up killed any interest I had in picking the game up during the next sale/reset. Gray Zone is announcing the release date for Early Access tomorrow, so sounding like a few of the lads are picking that up and we'll be hitting that up instead. There's PR mistakes and blunders, but this feels like they straight up disrespected the bulk of their user base

Grey Zone looks a lot more interesting anyway than the thing tarkov has become in the years its been playable IMO. Remember when this game was supposed to have some sort of linked map progression and greater goal than just jumping into individual maps and grinding quests?

Without touching on the poo poo storm of Tarkov, I've got to say I was disappointed in Grey Zone in general. I don't know if it was all the hype about being a "Tarkov killer", but it left me with a very "meh" impression.

I think it looks nice and has potential, if it reaches any of that potential is another thing entirely. Tarkov was also a game that looked nice and had potential, and it still has potential, but its been out for a long time and never seems any closer to reaching it and the years have proven without a doubt that BSG have serious issues all over.

Grey Zone looks OK, but I don't think I'll like it more than Tarkov. From what I've seen, it seems too squad focused. I usually play alone, so I want a game that's playable solo. It also seems like it's primarily PVE with occasional PVP, where Tarkov seems more PVP focused. And the map is something that caught my eye. Tarkov is the most simulation-like shooter I've tried and I like it. A map with markers that update automatically doesn't feel very simulation like. I think Dark Souls has given me an appreciation for games with no maps. I don't know if Grey Zone will come out with other biomes, but it kind of looks like it's jungle all day long. I like that you can switch from long-range fighting on Woods to CQC on Factory and all sorts in between when you want in Tarkov. I'll definitely keep it on my radar, but right now I'm not interested.

Meh, at least he's finally caved. That's a step better than quite a few companies that double down for eternity or just go completely radio silent and ghost everyone. Still not sure about the items added, though. They seem kinda crazy if they work how it sounds.

Redditors are loving unhinged. Lolling at all the threats of legal proceedings and how BSG's announcement is the greatest attack on a people (Gamers TM) the world has ever seen. Yeah grey zone just doesn't look like it has the same vibe. That said it is very very early days for the game.

Operator drewski made a video on greyzone the other day and it looks unplayable tbh. no idea why they're releasing it in this state so early, it seems like a nightmare of infil/exfil camping the on-rails helicopter system and like 90% of the massive map is flyover country with no points of interest. Even the three main starter towns for each faction on the map are just copy/pasted three times.

Grey Zone feels pretty clearly like the last couple Ghost Recons meets Hunt Showdown, rather than really hewing close to Tarkov. Which in itself is actually super interesting, at least to me. The trouble is it also is being made by a studio who has previously only made mobile titles and the stuff they've been showing the last few weeks looks like a goddamn Sergei Titov game in some worrying ways.

looking forward to the slew of terrible extraction shooters that we're going to see in the next 5-10 years as everyone tries to bite off a chunk of the market for themselves. If we're lucky we'll get one that isn't rear end, and if we're REALLY lucky that one won't also be a roguelike deckbuilder with meta progression

it's already been a thing for several years and even aaa attempts have been mostly trash. some people liked dmz quite a bit, but they finally pulled the plug on that if anything it feels like a lot of companies have given up on that niche as too hard to get right and co-op pve is the hot new thing
