THE SCAM OF THE DECADE...

[@FreshSpawns]

What are your first impressions of The Day Before? 🤔

[@ZeroTwo--]

Goofy

[@Aaapchi]

Kinda janckie

[@TriggahXTTV]

horrible

[@hankkingsley9183]

Looks like a bunch of fetch quests and static NPCs... nothing new to see here.

[@saltyberserker4235]

Dayz kicks this into the mud. I looks great, but gameplay looks jank, gunplay looks shit, no voip??? Wtf.. it's a no for me for now. Hopefully they go back and make changes, but I won't buy this until it's better

[@bryndal36]

The devs said this was an open world zombie survival game, what I've seen from watching you both, it's not that at all but a Tarkov type extraction shooter. Not what was advertised. I won't be bothering with it. I'll be sticking with DayZ thanks.

[@HawkEye_GW]

The worlds open, there’s zombies well all 10 of them lol and it’s a loot to survive so devs wasn’t wrong. 🤣

[@Womblewobble1321]

they've got the map and props. now they just need everything else

[@MIkeB1980]

Think people forget what DayZ standalone was like at launch lol

[@gravyd316]

Yeah it literally went from unplayable to enjoyable.

[@willpugh8865]

It’s completely different, though Day z , standalone came from a mod nobody expected it to be at AAA title. We had low expectations and were blown away by it But not this one - is just a shame . It’s not AAA and if it was supposed to be, they would have the early mechanic sorted out like vaulting and looting and PVP and all that stuff we would expect bugs but not this this is terrible

[@hendrikovic_3706]

@@willpugh8865 bruh did u check the studio whick created the day before? all of their earlier game were pretty crappy and if u compare it to bohemia, bohemia made some solid games before dayz so maybe dont expect too much from an early access game in the first 6 hours of uptime. dayz was likely unplayable for like 3 years straight with much more performance sound and other issues, like zombies glitchting trough walls stairs and so on the sound was absolutly terrible back in the days and the pvp was clonky af.. overall dayz was unplayable until 2017/2018 and started in end of 2013 so thats 5 years from EA to a "full game" while the "full game" was still overgrown with gamebreaking bugs like tp under map etc etc so i would say the day before is pretty sold for its early state

[@MIkeB1980]

Mate the DayZ mod had everything! All worked great, then standalone came out with 4 guns and messed up zombies and very little of them. I haven't even played this and prob wont till i see what they do.@@willpugh8865

Coming from the DayZ Mod to Standalone when first out was shocking lol@@gravyd316

[@Tee-ina-Skee-Mask]

i wanted to have high hopes for this but if u know even a fraction of the devs history its impossible... this has potential but its def another bait n switch

[@glennr7873]

The A.I voice acting is terrible, no vaulting, no melee, these are the most basic things you need.

[@damiancherry]

The voices are fine wtf. And they already told us this and that they are putting it in soon and that they will be fixing it.

[@2ndTooth]

​​@@damiancherrylmfao you trolling?

[@2ndTooth]

Don't forget the shockingly low number of zombies and how spongey they are. Feels like a beta not an early release.

[@hankkingsley9183]

@@damiancherry Yes but this is a launch, if basic mechanics like vaulting and melee combat are missing, that's going to disappoint people, regardless of what promises a dev makes that it's "coming soon". All the basic mechanics of a looter shooter should be present and playable at launch.

[@calebcouch718]

​@hankkingsley9183 the fact that it has mutated into a looters shooter with similarities to tarkov, instead of the openworld DayZ-esque feel that was INITIALLY advertised in the first place is already a shame. Those initial videos were so frickin dope.

[@ObeyCamp]

It cracks me up how when you went to speak to Dr. Leonard he said "Just yesterday we weren't sure if you'd be okay!" So you're healthy enough to run, get issued a gun, go fight, but yesterday the doctor "wasn't sure" if you'd live? Either you made a literally miraculous recovery, or else I have a feeling this guy might not be an actual doctor. Watch, we're gonna find out that ol' "Doctor" Leonard was actually a doctor of law before the collapse lmao.

[@Loopygrain]

It reminds me of the Tom Clancy division games with graphics with a touch of Dayz with loot, etc

[@doorag_bill]

It’s basically the division and tarkov with zombies

[@eyermatt]

Making that as the title of you video is awesome... thank you

[@mantovannni]

I remember the first trailer on IGN and it started out in the wilderness. To find that the mud deformation and the forest are aren't even in the game I'm disappointed. They could at least try to make a survival game where teamwork was key and people had to help each other rather than the DayZ style shoot first ask questions later kind of thing.

[@Alfred-Neuman]

The clip with the truck and the realistic mud is from a game called SnowRunner. They just recorded a bit of gameplay from SnowRunner and added it in their trailer like if it was part of their own game... It's a pretty cool game, especially for when you just want to relax and do something else than killing some people. It's very realistic, there is 12 maps (24 with all DLC), a LOT of vehicles and a ton of missions. I recommend it, very cool game.

[@g3ntl323]

If Dayz had have rinsed you for money maybe they would have been able to afford all the development changes you ask for. You have to pay for a game to evolve. DayZ should be a subscription. 5 (insert currency a month). Then they would have the money to be able to expand and develop the game. SO far, everyone buys a one off purchase and expects infinity development. Get real!

[@DigitalHi5]

Love the updated title

[@strykerhalo]

They should have made this game a Mystery game where other areas open creating a massive area once you find them. Also the zombies should start out appearing sparse but slowly turn into hordes all over. Slowly over time marauder groups form forts.

[@dav1e479]

love u guys , long time dayZ player that just last week got a proper pc to play dayZ n scum and squad glad i watched this cause i would feel robbed if i bought that thinkin it was possibly amazing thanks guys

[@JT_WallStreet]

So it’s basically like Vigor. Fun, but gets old after awhile

[@dubtalion]

Gutted, was hoping for a true open world, basically a different looking dayz. Dont think devs the balls these days to go too far.

[@Midwestern85]

I thought of vigor as well

[@hankkingsley9183]

I didn't get the impression that it was fun from watching streams today. Seems like fetch quests and a loot management sim. ZzzZzzzZzzzz

[@rowdyrebel5253]

Yup exactly seems like a much more lacking version of vigor

[@timw.1653]

When you're in your storage in the bottom right there's a case, when you die you keep those items

[@dragonxreactions6169]

In your inventory you have a Case thing where you can place your ammo for example and if you die it will respawn with you , that is what most people do, even if you loot them usually you can take they guns and ammo in the said guns only.... hiding the valuable stuff like that... i find it strange that no one so far in your chat did not mention it and i am half way in watching the video... So sad i missed the actual stream! :( Hope to see you guys giving it another go... now i go back to watching the video... i will probably edit my message if i see anything else to point out.. or just add to it haha All the best!

[@mattlee4618]

Thanks for giving me something long to watch on KZbin while I work guys :)

[@GrimCheddar1]

THANK YOU. I was hoping for the best even knowing the company and all the faults, now I know I will wait or pass if it does not improve in Year 1.

[@danielwark3602]

Apparantly, the " case" bottom right inventory, is to secure your loot. Kind of like insurance if you die.

[@driftkingibrahim69]

İ think it looks quite nice but I don't know what the main goal is playing it. I mean for me as an old fart I would love to see a mix of GTA (story and singleplayerwise), scum and day Z for the survival elements. Because I appreciate a good single player mode or story line, because I don't always want to play multiplayer and just run around try to loot and build something only waiting to get killed and raided and start all over again. For me scum would be that game if it had zombies and normal NPC's in it. I love the realism when it comes to the survival and health system elements. But a game without any goal is just a waste of time for me.

[@I_am_Mr_Negative]

Nice fast moves on that sneaky fella

[@gilbertgrape2002]

love the evening stream!!

[@rileydavis435]

I have watched other streams play this game and they don’t know to loot. But I have watched y’all dayz streams so I know y’all know how to loot.

i was very tempted to buy it but after watching this i will be either waiting till its fixed or not when it dies

[@alphaomega1969]

First impression is freaking great for the small team dev who pulled this out within 3 years is really amazing. Porting the game from unreal engine 4 to unreal engine 5 is why made me excited. Many freelancer dev team didn't get paid for working on this game.

[@Alfred-Neuman]

Are you sure about that? I'm always wondering what kind of person would send some money to one of these "Nigerian prince". I guess these are people like you... lol

Seems like a rip of Bohemia Interactive’s Vigor

[@willgtee7536]

took the words right out of my mouth.... HAS POTENTIAL... if John doesn't die!! hahaha

[@lilig6422]

I think this game has great potential as a stand-alone game. Its not meant to be this-game or that-game so if people try to morph it into something else, of course they'll be disappointed. Its clearly Early Access and I think the dev's are looking for real gamers that will give informed and intelligent feedback, not just instantly jumping on the "its a scam!" train. It will be good if they continue to develop this. I'm keeping it. Thanks for the stream, it was fun to watch!

Don’t buy it yet. Waste of 40 bucks

[@mikea8804]

It doesn’t look so bad. Before I buy it I will wait for a few updates on this game first.

[@DayZnomadness]

i wouldn't buy it myself, but if the people would get in the source codes and finish it for private servers i would play it. it looks really good to be fair but it wasn't ready for release at all.. back to DayZ for me. thanks for showing it, i was pretty curious, Cheers Mates!

[@markgrehan3726]

Considering the servers were full, this looked very empty, a few encounters but no where the amount I would have thought.

[@jarrodshipard]

1:44.30 I was in tears of laughter.

[@JakeTheDawgMusicOfficial]

Game might not be too bad if they actually put time and work into it. I could see it being decent with more zombies and guns and all that.

[@Concerned_Citizen0311]

Game’s purchase button was taken off Steam after company shut down just days after release. There was a statement released saying they will not be “receiving a dime” after they pay their investors and some of the employees. The owner of the company then deleted all personal social media sites and the internet is raging over it being a scam….was hoping for a more up-to-date Dayz…guess we’ll have to wait for Dayz 2…🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Joshprout1776]

The alarms are fkn insane lol

[@GrayWolfe-34]

Watching John play today was fun to watch! The actual game was lacking alot in my opinion The game just gonna need a lot of work. Maybe time will help also for them to change or add things to the game? But definitely something has to happen to make it better than what it is, only time will tell.

[@nitrojunkie22]

Right from the beginning, this game is going to be just what I thought. A gun's power is determined by its attachments? Get real. 8 head shots to kill a zombie? Again, get real. The Division called. They want their worn out, tired game back.

[@opossumgrylls3275]

Eating and drinking is one reason i dislike day z.

[@michaelsaulsman6977]

Was planning on buying along with others, holding off for now

[@iceman1st1]

i thought the map was going to be bigger where you can travel miles out of the city. i think your hideout should be in the same map where other players can come across it, coz what's the point doing it up if you cant show it off or it getting raided like dayz. it needs a risk feel to it

[@kendavies3312]

It's very dayz meets tarkov. In raw form

[@leodovaldo]

So its essesntially Vigor? I was honestly interested until I watched John play. Doesnt seem that amazing to be fair. Id try it if I had some friends interested and the roll out some bug fixes. I appreciate yall playing this and trying it out, love the content and shenanigans!

The only thing that would kill the game is if the devs company would shut down right, right?

[@northernbeast5540]

Is it like the division 2 map gets bigger as you do missions and level up?

[@ibslegend]

They do have a lot to work on. Visually it looks good, with a couple issues from what I have seen, but not as many as I thought it was going to have. There is no need for food from what I have seen. I know at the beginning of the game you start with a red flashing thirsty at the bottom left corner when you wake up, but there are no food or water meters to indicate when you are hungry or thirsty. I dont see the point of having a house if it's just for looks. I hope the developers stick with the game and listen to the players and make some much needed changes.

[@captncrunchycerealkilla547]

Why have the bit about fixing a car tire in the trailer? lol

[@tk2097]

"Gave you the death stare" 🤣🤣

[@MooseBeanZ98]

After playing for 10 hours straight I can say it’s similar to tarkov, but more casual and instead of a countdown timer, your food & water will keep going down over the course of about 30 minutes, and you’ll die gradually when you run out. So you need to keep looting food which is only found in a few locations across the map, aswell as your quest items or head back to the safezone and replenish yourself. I agree it needs VOIP, Vaulting, melee, better gunplay and FPS optimisation, but the bugs have been near enough neatened out just 2 days after release with the updates they have dropped. Not bad in my opinion, I can’t wait to see how it turns out in future updates. Definitely another DayZ situation let’s just hope the devs are as good as the DayZ devs 👍🏼 I also think they’ve gone for more of an “I am legend” feel with the zombies being more frequent in the night and in dark buildings in the daytime. I love it and can really see it being a solid game in the future, if the devs can put up with the battering they’re currently receiving. Only time will tell 🤞

[@alexarellano2541]

I like the graphics engine better than DayZ. looks so good so far, on first appearance. Looting and PVP is a huge element.

[@hankkingsley9183]
