Womble's Soapbox - DayZ Standalone - Update #2 (Patreon)

Last week, with the completion of Random GTA Bullshittery, I decided to return to that DayZ standalone critique series that I had previously started in April. 

This is a new format of videos that aren't really related to the bullshitteries. And I've given them the working title "Womble's Soapbox".

For those not up to speed, they're analysis videos, where I'm hoping to go into great depths talking about DayZ and it's themes, development problems etc. And I'm hoping (if you approve of them) to possibly talk about other franchises in the future, such as the incoming Battlefield 1.  These won't replace bullshitteries of course. But like the horror episodes, can be stuff on the side.

The previous two entries can be found here:

 - Womble's Soapbox - The DayZ Standalone - 01 Intro

 - Womble's Soapbox - The DayZ Standalone - 02 History

Last week & today I  was working on the third entry, titled '03 The activities problem'. It's very nearly complete, and I'm hoping to have it finished either tomorrow or wednesday. After which I'll probably make a start on the next section, which is much shorter, titled '04 The pvp balance'.

There are about nine sections in total for this critique. And I'll keep releasing them only to you,  my patrons and twitch subs, until they're all finished. And I could really use your critique & feedback if you have the time? So I can adjust and modify any arguments that you find weak or otherwise unconvincing.

Next week though, I'll return to a bullshittery episode :)

Well, I did enjoy your rampant cynicism when you played the standalone recently on stream, so I'm looking forward to the next part!

Speaking of the horror videos, any idea if/when you'll make one? Looking forward to whatever you put out either way, just thought it's been a while since a horror video.

I for one am anxious for this next Soapbox video, I myself have never played Dayz, but I really find the development of such a huge game interesting. Keep up the good work!

I've just watched the two of them, and you have done an amazing work, congrats ! If I had one (small) negative aspect to point out it's that I think you speak a bit too fast, but that can be only my impression. But that being said, these videos are really interesting, well made, and now we'll just have to wait for the next ones ! Good job Soviet !

Good job so far Womble! Doing great on explaining the history of the game and what made it so damn good. Though one thing I'd like to suggest is either turning the music down a touch or making your voice a little louder. At the moment, the music is a touch loud and makes it a little hard to hear your lovely voice fully.

Womble both parts were super fascinating especially with your software background. The patreon mini fridge bit got me as well. I love the different tone they have to bullshittery and im excited to see the rest

I feel the need to share a criticism. Its a small one, but as the only one I noticed IT IS MY DUTY TO VOICE. The jump cuts are very much a part of your style and that's fine. I just think you're so used to them in your bullshitteries that you structured your soapbox video the same way. The jump cuts are okay, just toning down on them a bit might make a bit of an improvement.

I don't know how I only now stumbled upon this series. Of course I had to watch both videos in an instant and I love them. I am a big fan of anaytical videos, especially if they are about games or the gaming community. I played DayZ myself and I never could enjoy it completely because of the bad performance, which made me motionsick pretty fast, so I see forward to your series and see what content DayZ actually has in all the details and how the community and various updates affected the game itself. Thumbs up for this series and greetings from germany.

I can't really find anything worth critique, I'm just very much looking forward to the next part now.

You're doing a great job on these video's. They are fun to watch, give people a great overview about the game and it's history, and what it is about. But, why did you decide to only release this to twitch and patreon subs? It seems to me that the dayz community and people interested in starting to play dayz will benefit from this.

For an outsider to all of DayZ and Arma the two parts was fun watching. The cliffhanger at the end make me want more :)

I think it's save to say that they will become the greatest critique Videos on youtube. I#m not kidding. I mean come on a critique Video + Womble Humor? How can that go wrong? HOW? Anyway i dont have any other Feedback to because i watched them over and over again because they are great and also very understandable and on the point. Kepp the other episodes like this and they will later become one of the most seen critiques. Listen to my words and keep them in mind (even if i'm a german dude which cant argue good.......) :D Thanks for the awesome vids you make womble not only the critiques :)

I've never played DayZ and I was never fully aware of the history (other than "'t was once a mod, and now it's a standalone"). This video was very interesting to me, I'm very fond of the pace and how much information you manage to pack in a minute, whilst still being very funny. I never realized what has been bugging me about a lot of Early Access games until you pointed out the iterative criticism aspect of it. So yeah, please continue! I didn't think I was going to like this but I did.
