H1Z1 Early access

[Daunt]

I am surprised you guys talk about dismemberment and not talk about dead space. The entire game and the gameplay itself is based on using weapons that dismember in order to kill the aliens. Freaky ass game if you ask me.

I could never get into Deaspace because of the ridiculously weightless corpses lol. Their lighter than snow in some cases and simply get stuck around your feet when you try to walk over them.

The whole effect is comical and it just ruined the immersion for me.

I never said deadspace was a good game now. In fact I dislike it. Mainly for it's heavily scripted and predictable campaign. I hate that whole thing in campaigns where when you cross an invisible line, enemies are scripted to spawn and attack, the music changes and you shit your pants.

ok I'm downloading it. I'm a sucker for spending 22 bones on a alpha but since GTA5 has been delayed until end of March I figured why not, especially since I don't plan on buying any games over the next 2 or 3 months.

Hey kitty , saw you playing on steam just now .
Very interested to know what your opinion of the game is in its current state .

I got the chance to try out the game after the patches , seems my assumptions were pretty accurate ; game looks decent and the core gameplay is enjoyable .
Had an interesting experience on both the EU and US servers too : I managed to get in to one of the few EU servers and managed to survive for wuite a while , encountered many players and none of them were agressive even having some interesting conversations .
Then i left to grab a bite , when i came back the EU servers had filled up so ii tried my luck on a US server .
Totally different experience !!
Died 5 times all to players ....
No greeting or words said over von , just got murdered on the spot ....
Not saying Americans are murderous barbarians but ... well ..yeah ..

I bought it yesterday. Played for a few hours. Found a sniper rifle, ammo, pistol, backpack, etc. on my first life. Killed 7 dudes. Truck full of dudes pulled up and 5 of them hopped out. Got murdered pretty badly. Saw this happen a few times and I just sat back and watched, hiding.

Morale of the story is, this is a pretty fun game. It's worth $20 - Fuck, you can't even go to the movies these days for $20. However - Playing solo is impossible. Even the zombies are a threat, however I've found are stopped by simply shutting doors.

Not quite sure how the world fell to the zombie apocalypse when the zombies are stopped by simply shutting a door. Granted, I prefer that over them simply walking through the door and/or wall as they do in DayZ. Haha.

I been having a riot on the US servers with TLB, Sony is really on top of this game and fixing the server issues and quickly needed game issues. I'm impressed, which is hard to say when it comes to anything Sony.

The nice thing is that it's pretty lag free for an early alpha, it runs pretty damn good. And the current update is fixing the non stop eating aspect, so here's hoping I don't need a stash of 300 blackberries in my pack to survive.

Patch notes Jan 17 2015:

This game update will take place at 6:30pm PST and have an approximately 90 minute downtime.

Good to know you are having a great time with the game kitty .
It seems to be the common theme with people who actually play the game , for the most part they really enjoy the game in its current alpha state, a good sign for the future i'd say .

I will have to wait until after the weekend when they bring up more EU servers .

 

[Kitlope]

Yeah, I've read the que times are insane in EU.

I'll post what I did a couple hours ago at TLB about today:

Well, we ran into our first hacker today.

Corsair joined the server, Sev left camp and got him from his wanderings and brought him back. We geared up and set forth on an adventure to the southwest, ended up near Wake Hills Hamlet. Sev, Corsair, Timmy, Pwrny and myself started to engage with a dude in a building and then one of us says "I'm getting punched but can't see him". Uh-oh, the invisible man hack and soon Pwrny was laying dead. We were all together in a tight circle, everyone panicked and running wondering where the punches were coming from. TeamSpeak was a mess. Soon we started splitting up but the hacker found another target. I fucking ran for dear life to the northeast, thinking about doing a quick logout. Corsair ended up being the next unlucky victim and getting punched to death. Sev & Timmy ran off and then quickly logged out. I could tell by the chatter that I wasn't the target so I made it back to main base, hoping distance was gonna be my friend.

Logged out and ate some dinner. *sigh*

I promised myself I wouldn't buy into this early access, but I bit the bullet and bought it. What server is everyone playing on?

 

[D.O.A.]

Eh , not really sure where everyone plays , as usual those that do/did play are scattered all over the server list .
Personally, i've stopped playing until the game gets in a more polished state .
Its good for what is right now but its rather lacking , as is to be expected for a early access/beta test .
