Yeah well you're a racial slur.
WTF?! How is Finlay's W-E handle a racial slur?! #completely_baffled

Because "lay" is short for "olé", and "Fin" means "to end" or "to terminate".

"Finlay" = "kill all Mexicans".

 :biggriin:

i've been going till 1-2 occasionally, which is fine. I never go to bed before 12.
But 3.30 is not fine. Although nothing terrible happened and I functioned ok at work!

Me too. And me too. Though i only have so long doing this... My wife is 15 weeks pregnant...

I got stuck in some Dayz until pretty late a few times simply because I couldn't leave my team behind.  Made for a long day after.  But late for me is now midnight since the kids get up at 6am no matter what...

Speaking of DayZ - couple of streamers I occasionally watch play Miscreated now instead because they were so fed up with all the constant bugs. Looks fun too! Smaller map, a bit less complex, but it seems to be working rather well (so far I have seen neither rubber-banding nor disappearing loot). It's also still in EA though.

Miscreated looks really cool.  Dayz was such an incredible experience, but it has fallen so far behind developmentally and the player base is no longer interesting, its mostly griefing now because there is little else to do.

Dayz was one of the most intense, interesting, and enjoyable experiences I have ever had in gaming.  Especially those first couple months.

If they actually manage to fix all the really horrible crap that is currently wrong with DayZ I think it still has the potential to be awesome again.

They'll have to get a bloody move on though. Last major patch was, what? 4 months ago or so? And the next patch is slated to add wolves, instead of dealing with some basic functionalities that have been broken forever.

I do hope they get it right in the end, because DayZ with everything that they planned in it, and no major bugs, sounds fucking amazing. Unfortunately, looking at what Bohemia has been doing with the game since Dean Hall left I'm not terribly confident.

Yeah, the community as a whole has lost faith in the process at this point.  I have somewhere over 500 hours.  Probably more, I haven't checked.  But what an experience it was.  They keep adding things without correcting those core issues, like you said.  And at this point, going on 3-4 years since Alpha began, most people who wanted to play are probably done with it.  I don't know where they will get new players to freshen the experience.

When it is "done" if that happen, I will of course play it again!  Either way. I got more than my $29.99 out of it!

I don't actually have the game, but I have watched a metric fuckton of streams of it. And every time I think "all right, NOW I'm getting it" something ridiculous happens. An AK with all the attachments just despawns and is gone. A guy makes a narrow escape, and a minute later is suddenly rubberbanded back to his original position and gets killed. Someone runs away from a Zombie who is 50 meters behind, randomly swings at the air - and the dude drops dead. A fully equipped guy suddenly just falls over dead when walking down a flight of stairs. An item is visible in the inventory, but can't be used and interacted with. That is, until the dude throws it, it hangs in the air, then he punches a wall and it falls to the ground.

And all this happens so often that it cures me of my "I wanna play this too" impulse every bloody time. Because I would probably throw my monitor at a wall. I play CS:GO already, there's only so many games that regularly make me rage I can tolerate.

Karl the bandit is one of the best Karls.

Ladarius:  it got better but so many things still happen that ruin the experience.  In most of the cases, you can shrug it off.  What kills me are the item loss and frozen inventory item issues.  If a glitch kills me I can over come that.  If a glitch allows another player to kill me unfairly I get super pissed!

I'd love to, since Vermintide brought back my coop mojo, but I'm afraid that my 6 years old PC won't handle it. :icon_redface:

I'm torn between PC and PS4.  Trying to see which will have the most players I know!

Depending on the modding possibilities, I'd say go for the PC.

I'm with Xath. It looks great, but it's not going to run on my PC. I lean towards wanting it on PC over anything else as well for the modding, and just the people I know.

Is this Deathwing you're on about? What's that? Some new sci-fi game?

I've seen footage.  It doesn't appeal to me.  Co-op shooters are not my thing.  But good luck to those who enjoy it.

It looks great!  I have more friends in the US who might get it on PS4, but I would love to play on PC if more people are getting it.  The only issue is you are all in Europe.  I don't generally play until 8pm EST, so 2am for you cats....

OH HELL YEAH!!  Assuming it's compatible with a third-party PC controller, I'll probably use the P.C version!! :-D

Not my thing really, though I must say I just love the look of it.
