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.

Pretty sure the downvotes are because you’re behaving like an asshat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

how do you scam people when it was not possible to preorder this game due to steams early access rules?

And after launch you still have the two hour window for refund and the game has no own launcher, so it’s pretty easy to get rid of this game and get your money back after trying out this mess. So if you loose money it would be at least partly on yourself, right?

Don’t get me wrong this game had “I suck” on the forefront since it’s announcement and it had some really shady marketing, but I wouldn’t call it a scam, since you can very easy avoid to loose money on it.

You could say this about most if not all scams I dare say. It’s “your fault” you fell for it.

If I remember correctly the studio is known for releasing half-baked titles into EA, grab as much money as possible and abandon it.

The game was marketed as the most ambituous MMO since a very long time and apparently what they released is a bad extraction shooter so idk if I could call it anything but a scam.

Zombies and MMOs, two concepts that were outdated at least 10 years ago.

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.

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.

Wrong, there are several popular MMO and Zombie games today. I would argue MMOs are due a for a comeback
