@Nexozable I tried to enjoy DayZ, however i encountered many axes which i could not pick up. Buildings that cannot be entered, and when i was running from a zombie, i jumped a fence only to have the zombie glitch right through with no-clip and continue it's pursuit.
DayZ in it's current form has less content and more bugs than WarZ.
No-one has seen DayZ's standalone version, despite it the devs saying it was going to be out by the end of 2012.
How can a game that takes years to develop, be a rip-off of a game which isn't out, and in which no-one's even seen a version beyond the initial alpha copy?
@faceless-mask @parrot_of_adun "Foundation Release" was used by Day Z developers back in October.
Their plan was to release their stand-alone with maybe 3-4 buildings enterable per city, they were not going to have lots of different items or cars or zombies. They actually reduced the variety zombies since the Mod.
War Z's steam page had always called it a foundation release, it was even highlighted above the "buy now" button. The forums are full of new updates saying "hey we're working on X,Y,Z, here are some screenshots please tell us what you think."
While Day Z developers have ZERO AAA games under their belt, they slightly changed the AI in some soldiers and removed their guns. We've also seen nothing about DayZ since they completely stopped updating the game back in Alpha.
Foundation release of War Z is out, it's doing good, and at least it's playable.
Day Z isn't out, and although you could buy ArmA2 and play the buggy alpha mod, it wont carry over to a stand-alone. And you'll simply have to buy the game, AGAIN.
