you actually get a coop pve mode right from the get go without any additional costs and you don't support russian war efforts with buying Gray Zone. So good game so far for me

Nice, never had a bad experience with Czech devs

I take it you haven't bought DayZ in early access.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I made a comment referencing how bad DayZ early access was and the reply has me considering reinstalling. I remember zombies flat out ignoring walls though.

I mean, it's commendable they are still making updates. But there is a lot of stuff thats still not OK after all those years and probably won't ever be. The cars require low server load and OK connection, otherwise you can still get the Laika experience. Also no helicopters apart from some mods. But the zombies were mostly OK last time I played.

I never played it yes

I dunno this looks pretty much like tarkov, except cheaper and on steam.

Actual realistically calculated bullet physics is a big feature of GZW

true. but it still takes a lot of bullets to take down a guy in a muscle shirt. Hope they fix that.

The higher tiers don't contain any gear or perks you can't unlock in the base edition, unlike tarkov. Also doesn't lock an entire mode behind the highest tier.

I think that stuff will come later, otherwise I don't see why they'd have multiple tiers in the first place.

[–] priapus 2 points 7 months ago

The tiers still currently offer more stuff. If people are willing to buy them for the current price, there's no reason not to have them. I think its pretty unlikely they would add that stuff, seeing how much of their current success is based off of Tarkov making that mistake.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Those are two pretty massive differences imo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Talk about perfect timing. Hope they can continue to ride the wave

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I am someone with no Tarkov experience, but I like the idea of the formula and would like to play a PvE experience. I have seen Gray Zone and a few other options. Is anyone able to speak to the quality of the options out there right now without comparisons to Tarkov?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

If you can find a cheap or free way to access the Single Player Tarkov mod, which normally requires a legit game account, that is probably your best bet. There might be a way to fool it with a pirated copy but I haven't needed to try since I (regrettably) purchased Tarkov ages ago.

I’ve been waiting for this game to land for some time now, feels good to finally get in there!!
