DayZ hits Steam Early Access right in the head

4.5
The zombies are finally here! Hooray! DayZ is now available for PC on Steam Early Access for $30. As always, those who buy the early version will get the final build when it launches – and developer Bohemia Interactive is certain to note that the current release is truly an unfinished version of the game:

"DayZ Early Access is your chance to experience DayZ as it evolves throughout its development process. Be aware that our Early Access offer is a representation of our core pillars, and the framework we have created around them. It is a work in progress and therefore contains a variety of bugs. We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle."

This echoes the sentiment from DayZ creator Dean Hall earlier this month, when he cautioned potential players that the Early Access version would be "barebones." Still, YouTubers are encouraged to show the world what DayZ's bones look like, Hall says on Twitter.

DayZ hit Early Access with a launch trailer, but that was pulled from Steam for being too graphic.

Mainly because of the Delays and large amount of hackers in the mod version.

BirdPoo Dem graphics tho, deffinatly buying this


Its not all about the graphics. With all the in game features the graphics are actually really good in my opinion!


The graphics are not even that brilliant :/


Graphics don't make the game. If you think they do, then you're not a gamer.

OMG you're so ignorant.You think the graphics are good on CoD?Yet they spend most of their time on graphics and not enough on games.You're not getting my point.DayZ isn't supposed to be about all graphics.You obviously play alot of CoD and stuff to say that.
