Does Deadside have more to offer, or is this it?

Well said my dude, great review

Honestly I'm surprised they can even pull over 1k players at this point, I parted ways with Deadside over a year ago when it was apparent the dev team just didn't care about our feedback. Tinybuild bought them for a whopping $17m good luck getting your moneys worth out of that.

Such a shame... the game could have been great.

45min up to 2 hours you can get the best loot in game. I played this game since day one, and it only has gone backwards. Gun play is trash, like complete garbage... coming from tarkov or other games that aim/gun play is good, you feel like you dont know how to aim. I've put 800 hours on this game and I can clearly say this game is trash now. Not trying to put down the fame or the devs but this new dev have no idea and they refuse to listen to the players, they listen to two or three streamers that have no idea about gaming or survival gaming and ignore the community that cares about the game. I only play the game for like 15-20 min when I get bored of other games and thats it...

Again I'd love to see this game succeed but in 3 years game has only gotten backwards in progression, sure they put new guns, skins and fishing hunting or wells but base building has the same bugs that had two years ago, gun sway makes aiming unnecessary hard. Anyways!

I cant play because the lag on the player is insane

Regarding the player progression, there's 2 examples of how not to do it. Rust became boring because player progression is too fast and dayz is too slow. Rust 3 years ago was great.

Quite unfortunate timing as they just released a blog post. I guess it wouldn't change much but still.

i am liking this style of videos path.

You really nail it with these reviews, Pathfinder! There are people that THRIVE in the immersive worlds of SCUM, Mist Survival, Day Z, even Valheim, because it's a challenge, and every time a player spawns in, it's not exactly the same each and every time. In the aforementioned games, there is loot where it wasn't before. Loot where it usually is but is different. Even no loot at all. "Hey, last time I came into this town there was a hiking backpack right in the middle of the kitchen of this house by the hay loft. But this time, I found.......... a kitchen knife, or cookbook, or a piece of rubber, or maybe a shirt". It's the continuing random loot that spawns, as well as none, one, or a horde of zombies/infected/puppets/drauger, or a host of other nasty characters that keep the games fresh, revitalized, and downright exciting! "I'm going to get a pair of really good workpants, shirt, jacket, hiking boots, waist belt, and hiking backpack when I go into this town". Then you leave with nasty sneakers, a torn-up woodcutter's shirt, and a Hello Kitty backpack that is at 37% with 5 slots left. We have good developers that listen to their community and make the necessary changes or additions. Then you have developers that are done with it all, and for the last three years the game has not improved one iota. I suppose it all comes down to where we're going to spend our money. We have a lot of power, and people forget that fact. You don't like something, let your voice be heard and tell people what you think. Be selective where you put your hard-earned money! Love your channel! RIBBIT @Pathfinder Plays!!!

I don’t really wanna criticize u. But the things u have listed it the things u would like to see. We are all influenced by other games which do well. So I really like that Deadside is going a different direction. Even though it takes long. The game is fun when u just wanna PvP. Do missions get loot. Get killed Fight in a massive fight over a case. And at the end I get it. Games don’t have to be too complex.

Deadside is the DayZ for ppl who have to work.

While I'd also like to see more depth into Deadside when it comes to its survival part I gotta call this review BS. Claims like the game hasnt changed much is basically translated "It didnt change the things I wanted". The game got a lot of updates and changes: fast travel, base building overhaul, more weapons and attachments, map expansions, boats, fishing, duck hunting, new events ( air drop, convoy, heli crashes, base raids ), overhauled spawn mechanic, water wells, etc... Some things you say are straight up wrong. The weapons did get a sound overhaul and they sound awesome and two new weapons just got added with the latest major patch. Idk what you smoking my guy. You clearly didnt play it enough. Also finding a "shotgun" in a village means nothing as its just a common weapon, all the good ones are unlocking by grinding missions. Plus the reason why the development is slow is because the devs actually give a shit about quality. Every time they drop an update its polished and bug free. Unlike eft and scum

I play Deadside when I just want to smoke people. I play scum on single player mode when I want survival. No interest in pvp in scum. Hence I keep playing deadside. I like the setup for a large map pvp. Deadside is my perfect pvp setup due to my dislike of cod and those fast paced respawns and small maps. I love battle royales and to this day play pubg everyday. But when I don't want pubg, i play deadside.

I was surprised they continued to develop this after release, and even though their progress has been really slow I'm hopeful they'll keep going since the foundation is still decent for 10-20 hrs of running around blasting stuff

Devs should really hear more players.We dont need more guns as there are tons of them already.What we need is huge update on base building as its primitive as hell. Players need more stuff to do not just running around the map and looting

For people like me that work, the game is perfect. We don't need to waste our entire free time just to have some fun. I mean if you dont work , go play DayZ. Deadside is for us casuals. Leave our Deadside, you have your other games with people that spent their entire life there just to have some pvp.

Not all games have to be life consuming in time. What a bad review, there is plenty of other games that make you waste so much time just to have some fun. Stop pushing and forcing your liking on the rest.

I think (nearly) everything you mentioned as a negative is a reason I actually like Deadside, except the slow dev progress. If I want to get frustrated/bored at grindy PVE elements like illnesses and rain drenching my clothes I could always play DayZ and you know what? Sometimes I do want that, as PVE can be fun with friends. But more often than not I want to jump into a game and have some kind of fun PVP interaction vs crawling through bushes for hours trying to find water and antibiotics from one of the 3 buildings on the map that actually spawns them. You are right about the gameplay loop being imperfect, but I think there should be more money sinks and more reasons to make a base rather than just take the current one and slow it down. That's the lazy option, sure you could tweak some stats and lower weapon spawn rates to slow it down but that's not why people play Deadside, people that want that experience already play DayZ. It's also worth mentioning that before TinyBuild became Bad Pixel's publisher the dev team was only 5 people and it was their first ever game so it may take them a bit longer than usual to pick up speed. For me Deadside is a good in-between game while waiting for Taviana the Origins to release as I've kind of given up on DayZ Standalone ever coming close to what the ARMA 2 mod was back in its golden age.

joke of a game

I've played nearly every week for a year because I love the game. Could it be better sure, but I feel like what's there is gold and can't seem to find the desire to play anything else for long. Plus I've made some good friends playing this game and that's how we interact, grinding out missions and chasing convoys and helo crashes.

This game is great for anybody focused on a quick game play, instead of taking care to shit out your game character every morning, farming potatoes and treating hand abrasions from carrying a head of cabbage without gloves... Scum is for walking sims lovers. Deadside is for fighters, willing to not waste their time for anything else. That's it. Fortunately, Deadside has nothing more to offer.

There are tons of games that no job having people can play. Don’t crap on a game bc it respects your time. Lame

Ive given Deadside a few chances.... I just can't ever get into it. Theres just the IT factor missing. Whatever it is. You basically summed up my thoughts.

can someone enlighten me on why anyone plays this game over DayZ or SCUM?

cuz for me it just looks like DayZ but with less content and much more shallow

SEEMS THIS guy get killed all the time in game :D
