I have tons of issues.
First off, Rocket said they'll be doing the minecraft model. He said the game would start cheap and end up being no more than $30 at full price. The game is $29.99 right now.
You still have all the bad stuff from the arma such as clunky movement in buildings and middle mouse button menu trying to do everything, you guys know what I'm talking about, when you're trying to open items but it keeps wanting to close the door.
You have to worry about stuff like hunger, thirst, and warmth. You don't have any indications anymore. You know have these annoying text messages constantly saying stuff like "I'm shivering" "I'm hungry" "I'm thirsty" "I'm becoming dehydrated" "My clothes have blood on them" "My clothes are drenched in blood". And for cold, your breath starts blocking your screen. I've worked in industrial freezers and my breathe never impaired my vision.
They also still have global chat, I tried several servers and global chat is still there, I assume it's server controlled, but why have it at all?!?!?!
Zombies aren't very common, but that is acceptable since it's alpha and they are working on that.
Going through the menus, it keeps saying A and B EVERYWHERE. For being a PC game, why do they want me to play with an Xbox controller?
It's too easy to die but takes forever. I got into a fight with a zombie and all I had was a hammer. Luckily, hitting him over the head would knock him down. We did this dance for about 3 minutes, I hit him, he falls, he stands, I hit him. He finally died, the corpse instantly disappears. It did hit me once, and of course, I started bleeding. In this ultra real world where you have to eat and drink every 5 minutes, I started spraying blood everywhere. I spent the next 20 or so minutes searching houses for bandages. Finally, I passed out. Now I've been on this black screen bitching on teamspeak and now typing this for about 12 minutes. There is that suicide / respawn button.
I thought the mouse configurations were really out of whack, turns out the crosshair just moves all over the place.
Sorry for the organization, but here's some screenshots:
Still has brightness contrast controls so you can make nearly pitch black nights pointless. Also, never look downwind, your breath will block a good portion of your vision
This guy was standing next to me when I spawned. He was already bleeding. He had a screwdriver in his bag. So I took it. Sat there about 3-5 minutes prodding him with the screwdriver, nothing happened.
