I Tried Playing The Day Before!

[@D0nkih0te91]

Just for context, as Joe was uploading this, he went god-mode once more after 20 minutes waiting, then after another 20 minutes waiting he loaded into a wall, and after another 10-15 minutes waiting he finally loaded into the game to see people stuck mid animation, half of the model not loaded in at all, or just standing in the texture of other stuff. And even now, as I'm still watching him, there are just random stuff floating around. It looks and feels like an early Beta release.

If you think they plan on supporting this game for too long, then you don’t know anything about this dev. They are known for abandoning projects, hence the scheme. This is barebones because they have not actually been developing this for five years like they say. Maybe conceptually, but actual development? God no. They were using this as a marketing tool and releasing into early access as a cash grab to abandon it in less than a year.

It honestly runs better than I figured it would, it appears to. It’s the fact that there is nothing in here. Town, mission, city. Rinse repeat. What’s the point of the game? It’s not like Tarkov in that you are in an evolving world. The world is static and there are X amount of threats in any given server. I wouldn’t call this a survival game at all. Squad based, instanced PvP is really what it is. And the fact that a player body despawns in like 30 seconds is absolute trash. I don’t even know if you can loot people, but if you can and they go away they quickly that’s trash.
