The GON DayZ server is probably the only thing that will stop me diablo'ing.

he makes a good point about Kickstarter, a lot of people get overly excited about that..

I find that bit about the zombies being client controlled fascinating. Even your own computer is out to get you in DayZ.

thoroughly interesting interview.
im really starting to think i should try it out.
i used to play flashpoint - the original, how similar is that to ARMA II ?

[Yurtles]

Think prettier graphics with a dash of engine modernisation and you're basically there Muscular.

Same, pretty awesome idea. I imagine it'd be a **** to program though. Still, cool stuff. Hurry up steam sales!

diablo was a bit laughable for a game in development for so long, it looks same as it did 15 years ago. plays same too. dammed if I would pay 90$ for it, hell I didn't even bother torrenting it. Zday on other hand, I am buying the game payday an getting into that hardcore.

Well maybe so, but while you're just getting into Day Z, I've been bashing that pretty much since "release" and Arma 2 for years, so I can handle a day off to play something else.
