What do you think of the Dayz hysteria?

I've yet to play it :( It seems like it has so much potential, I need Arma 2 and OAH! Soon...

Sadly it won't last as long as the pony hysteria

Maybe I'm living under a rock, but... what hysteria?

Nothing lasts forever... but in the meantime ima raid tents, get chased by zombies, and eat cans o' baked beans

The game is legit good.

I don't care if it 'lasts', whether or not people are going crazy for it doesn't matter, the game is still fucking great

its ok it brings business to them to put into the new arma (Owned arma 2 since it came out) There is alot more room for improvement. Wish they would get their own engine and make a real game and not a mod.

I just need Arma II and the expansion.

Oh and a proper PC to run the damn thing. Heh. But it does look great. It might cool down later, but it will probably keep followers

I'm glad that Bohemia Interactive gets some attention thank to it (playing their games since 2001, at least these which my hardware can run, haha), however I heard that DayZ pretty much wiped all players from other multiplayer game modes atm.

If it becomes a standalone game I'll buy it.

Hear great things about the game, tried Arma 2 before, but still not sure if I will get it.

Its Awesome, too bad the servers arent responding too well, can take up to 2-10 min to find an empty server and when connecting it can take about 2-30 min until you get ingame. But this is Alpha and they are working with this right now...

Arma 2 itself is really good, there is soo much mods like roleplay (civillians, police drugs ;p terrorist bombs blablabla ) and other stuff

Can barely run ARMA II on my laptop, if I can get a new one, or upgrade the graphics card I will more than likely buy it. Looks like it may get hyped up like Minecraft, but hopefully it will last.

already got 25 hours in it. its great.

By the time I buy ARMA 2, everyone will migrate to ARMA 3 servers.

I wouldnt mind em porting it to arma 3

It looks amazing but alas, I do not own ARMA 2 :(

Looks awesome. I want in...

It doesn't even have zombies. Zombies are supposed to be slow.

And the mod is just in alpha... runs better than D3:P

You need Operation Arrowhead to play it. I'm passing on it until it's discounted and the mod itself has fewer bugs and such.

Quick question: can I make my own server to play alone or with friends, or do I need to go on their own servers?

Didn't like it.

I love it. Always was a hardcore realism gamer. I like playing games since I can feel immersed, and DayZ is by far the most immersive game experience I've had.

The constant updates will probably be good for the lifetime of the game. It's only in Alpha and already picked up quite a bit of popularity, which Rocket said in an interview himself that he didn't expect. Also, ARMA is now on the top sellers of steam quite consistently, so I can safely say that a lot of players are getting invested into it, which means there will be a large playerbase which to shrink from. Every game's playerbase shrinks, and the larger playerbase you have the longer the game will probably last for.

Lot of my friends have been playing it together and are giving great reviews. I really want to give it a go but I haven't got the funds to justify buying ARMA itself and the expansion pack just yet. :( Hopefully it'll come down in summer sales.
