Wow, bit more expensive than I was expecting.

 

if they lower the price, yes

 

Steep price but pretty cool

 

I'll wait for a sale OR pay with TF2 items ;)

 

30 fucking dollars?

I don't even think that Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead were that expensive...

 

Yeah, tbh I was expecting $10-15. $30 is around what I wouldn't expected to pay for the finished game.

I think they were originally planning on doing minecraft like pricing and increasing the price as development moves towards a finalized product, in which case I wonder what the final product will cost.

 

I thought I would be $20.

I guess all the new features like going into buildings and search through all 10 stories of one is cool

 

well, considering the guys probably didn't earn that much with the mod (since you had to buy arma) i think this might be a bit to compensate but they did have to build a whole new engine themselfs...
still, it is a bit high for alpha, could have a bit of discount

 

Used to play a hell of a lot of the mod for Arma 2 so this is just a must have!

 

I'll probably get it later, gonna wait to see if it goes on sale.


Do want though

 

"Dayz standalone will utilize a Minecraft-like sales model; this will allow players to pay a much lower price for early access to the alpha/beta releases while helping to fund development toward the final product."

i'm guessing the price wont lower since it probably is at the lowest they will go just for development

 

Read some reviews on it, basically while people like the game, they're telling others to hold off buying it until they add more to make it worth the price.

 

Ew DayZ

To be fair I dont like DayZ, just because im not a huge fan of the engin Arma uses. Its just..poop.

 

not as poop as what it could be

 

This is true, but it could be much better. But that's just me.

 

Bit of an old topic, but better responding here than making a new thread. DayZ is currently on sale for those interested, $25.49 (-15% off) on Steam.

 

Still not worth it enough for me to buy it. 5 dollars off. Woo.

 

I'll probably wait for a friend's opinion or a reliable review.
Or maybe till they lowered the price.
