Questions | Answers |
---|---|
Whenever new reviews of games/movies/game peripherals come out a bunch of people always complain that if you give a certain product high reviews they usually say you guys do it because "youre getting $$ for it" is this true? | Having a healthy skepticism about how any product is reviewed is good. |
I don't slight people for questioning how things are done, and if there is ever foul play. That's your right, and you should demand accountability of your critics. You should also trust that if a critic works for a trusted media outlet, they are a professional with the wherewithal to handle themselves in a sea of potential temptation. That is to I can say, having done this in different roles for the better part of two decades, I've never personally been explicitly offered money in exchange for a positive review of a product. | |
I will say that marketing and public relations folks, god bless them, have tried some squirrelly things over the years. But that's their job, to sell their wares. But it's my job to say no to inappropriate suggestions or offers that, while not involving money, may involve implications of some ilk of mutual back scratching. | |
In short, we do not work in a culture where media outlets are paid off for preferential review scores. We do need to continual fight the good fight to keep everyone on both sides of the media and publishing fence honest, but even these types of things aren't frequent occurrences. Again, good questions, and we absolutely should not be above answering them. | |
while not involving money, may involve implications of some ilk of mutual back scratching. Well Casey, the funny thing about my back is that it's located on my cock. | Oh, you. Link to www.youtube.com |
I've never personally been *explicitly offered money in exchange for a positive review of a product.* Careful with your words I see. I'm definitely not accusing you of caving but I would be absolutely shocked if there weren't implicit pressures/incentives in this kind of industry. | Look, people make half-funny/half-hail Mary "jokes", people make vague untoward suggestions, people say stupid things, but I've never been offered cash for a review. And I've never had someone come outright and say they'd pay for fixed score. |
Yes or no? | No. |
You should also trust that if a critic works for a trusted media outlet. You are owned by news corp right? Yous be getting paid. | There is more to that sentence! |
With this being said, did it raise any flags when Jessica Chobot was given a role in ME3? | Absolutely. We actually didn't even know that was happening.The first my editorial team heard about Jessica appearing in ME3 was when the news broke. I hear it was coordinated through she and BioWare and her talent people. Jessica hosts shows on IGN, but is not an editor and has no say in our editorial content. |
Review scores are too subjective and they're now being used negatively (IMHO) as motivational tools for developers. Is there a way to review games in an easily digestible manner without resorting to scoring? If so, how? Would you consider moving IGN to this type of system? | Gosh, that's the million dollar question, isn't it? |
Scores serve a necessary function of offering an immediate, quantifiable and debatable measure of a products quality. But it is merely a slice, a fragment, a single expression of criticism. On it's own, a score is one-dimensional, one note and unable to truly capture all that a game, film, book or any other product is successful or unsuccessful at. It's like the bacon. And you know, people LOVE BACON. I do, let me tell you. But it's what you put on the burger, what you enjoy with your eggs, what some even crumble over their pizza or jam into their ice cream (eww). It is one crucial, integral part of the criticism process, but it is not the meal. | |
That's where the written and video review comes in. A review should consider the aim of any product, and its success and failures in achieving that goal. How good is this game at doing and being what it tried to do and be? In our culture, scores offer myriad ways to enhance that criticism process. Removing scores, in my opinion, simply serves to flatten the criticism process, for the reader and the reviewer. If you prefer your food with no bacon, fair enough. But we've asked our readers and editors alike, and most of them want pork! Proverbial pork. | |
Since you bring it up though, it is something we're constantly thinking about and wrestling with. In fact, we're currently looking at our scoring matrix and considering changing it. And yes, some have suggested removing scores. Check out the whole process, and weigh in, right here: Link to www.ign.com | |
Mr. Lynch, I just want to say that bacon in ice cream (especially when chocolate and caramel is also present) is delicious and you are missing out on a whole new section of taste experience. | I haven't tried it, but I imagine if it tastes anything like bacon, I will be more than satisfied. |
Don't quite agree. A 10 point system is dumb and it's made it hell for developers (not getting bonuses etc due to sub 9 scores or what not). Why not a four point selection. | I hear you, and we've looked into a scale like this, perhaps not quite as gruff. |
Must play - well worth it - meh - fuck off. | Like I said earlier, developers need to press for better deals that aren't solely tied to scores, will make all the difference in the world. |
Hey Casey, love IGN, but I've always wondered do you guys ever get any serious backlash from video game companies when you give less than stellar reviews on their products that have yet to be released? | Great question. Here's a little secret about the video game industry. It's tiny. I mean, when it comes to the writers and editors in the major media, and the forward-facing publisher personalities, public relations mavens and marketing pros, you're talking about a pool of a few hundred people, tops. Another secret, everyone knows each other. Lastly, the video game industry, or these sides of it, are a neverending, always shifting dance of musical chairs. The people that handle EA games, some of them used to be at 2K, used to be at Activision, used to be at Bender Help public relations, used to be at... you get the picture. |
That is all to say, knowing that the industry is small and you'll likley be working with the same people in twenty years that you are now, most folks are above resorting to serious backlash. Sure, companies express either their dissatisfaction with a writer's appraisal of a product, or rail against the impressions of an editor in a preview (you know, because we 'played it wrong ;) but serious backlash is a strong expression. And the few that have risk the loss of coverage for their products, so burning bridges doesn't benefit anyone. | |
I will say I have seen it happen, a few times, but it doesn't happen often, and typically the people who engage on these levels aren't long for this business. | |
It's also important to note that most publishers aren't dumb, they do run multi-m(b)illion dollar companies. Meaning, they know when a game isn't a Game of the Year contender. Usually the few gripes that do surface center upon whether or not a writer was fair, thorough, or if there is some factual inaccuracy. | |
Whoa... they CEOs know the game sucks? I actually have a hard time believing that. Ive seen the designers not know: (regards to PS3 Lair) "I suppose gamers just cant get use to new control schemes." (paraphrased, im lazy) Thank god every game (or system) has the exact same controls. | That's a bit reductionist, but a good CEO has either a good appraisal of the quality of any game set to launch, or there's a team feeding reliable information that calls the quality into question. Or at least, that's how it works. Things break down when the decision-makers are out of the loop with the progress of a game, don't understand the qualifiers for quality, or their staff doesn't have either the wherewithal or the gumption to tell it like it is. That's when things like Jar Jar Binks happen. A good creative director, a good studio head, a good CEO, knows - with a keen level of accuracy - how good their game is. |
Who's in charge of IGN's Facebook page? It seems they just post random images that have nothing to do with gaming at all. 50% of the time, there is no article or anything attached. Just the stupid image. What does IGN have to gain from this? | We have a social team that works with our editorial staff to keep your twitter and facebook feeds well-seasoned with our top stories, pics and videos from daily happenings around the office, and all sorts of other tidbits, cat memes notwithstanding. What does IGN get for it? It's fun, it's informative and its cats. CATS. |
Do you believe that the Ouya can be successful and compete with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo? | I think Ouya can be successful, but the model is very different from the Big 3's first-party approach, at least for now. Ouya is more forward thinking; the urban sprawl that is freemium will only continue to build momentum in the industry, and will affect Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo in multiple ways. Once gamers get comfortable with the model as it relates to the games they previously spent $60 a pop to play, it will be hard to go back (ie people will like free). The lynch pin will be developer and publisher support. Meaning, half the battle will be the catalog of games available for the system. The real question, and hurdle, will be when it ships. With the new Xbox and PlayStations incoming, gamers will have to decide between a brand new, untested platform, and the next iteration of the system they already know and love. With OnLive support, a giant swathe of third-party games will presumably be available on Ouya at launch, which is great. But gamers will have to decide. Frankly, if Ouya is actually available before the fall season next year, and can earn a head start on the next new systems, it will have a fighting chance. But even then, the big questions are: will gamers flock to a system without the big exclusives they're used to? What exclusives will Ouya attract? And with the next-generation only a yeamonths away from the Ouya launch, will they even care? Time will tell, but one things for sure, you can bet the Big 3 are asking themselves all of these questions and more. |
Which games are you most looking forward to? | I am most looking forward to Halo 4, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Guild Wars 2 and Journey 2. That's a thing, right? Tell me it is, please. |
What's the best thing a Pgame company has sent to the office? | This question is a trap, but the correct answer is Tim Schafer. Always bet on Tim. |
They sent you Tim Schafer? That's hard to top. | Well, they sent him here to demo a game. That's always better than a statue or toy. GIVE ME TIM SCHAFER ANYDAY OF THE WEEK. That or burritos. |
What's the hardest decision you've had to make for IGN's best interests? | Oh lord, everything? Believe it or not, I labor over every thing we do, and how we do. That goes for the entire staff. My chief goal is to get things right, from news and features, to OpEds and reviews, and everything in between - if that's actually possible to do. It's hardly an exact science, and involves so many bits and bobs, but every decision counts, everything we do matters. Deciding how IGN scores games is a giant decision, with no real correct answer. I will not be able to please everyone, and knowing that makes the process incredibly challenging. To help, I reached out to the community to see what the readers really want. The answers and subsequent discussion have been incredible. Our readers are great, filled with insight, opinions and passionate views regarding where we go from here. You can read all about it on my blog: Link to www.ign.com |
Also, pineapple on pizza or no? | Oh, and sorry. Pineapple doesn't belong on pizza, but I'd still eat it. Never say no to pizza. |
That's quite a lot to be resposible for, but you sound like you enjoy it! | I do, I love my job and I love that what we do matters to so many people. In the end, it's all a bit superfluous of course. I mean, we are talking about video games. |
Why are you having this thread on Reddit instead of your own site's message boards? Are you aware that the boards on IGN have been rotting from neglect? And that it's been a half decade since any editor has frequented the boards? | 1) Sometimes IGN can get a bad wrap on Reddit, so I figured it'd be helpful to talk with people and see what they're thinking. |
2) Reddit has a great community and I think we should be a bigger part of it. | |
That's a great idea to do an AMA on the IGN boards. I can't speak to editorial over the past half decade, but we do have editors on the boards. Sounds like we could do it more often. Thanks for the feedback. | |
Do you think you could beat Greg Miller at a Portillo's hot dog eating contest? Or would you have a better chance with wings? | Greg would beat me at both, then he would devour me whole. Nothing left but beard. |
I assume Anthony Gallegos would beat/eat you both? | Oh god, yes. |
I thought so. Just checking! Thanks for answering all these questions! Both serious and bizarre! | I prefer the bizarre, at least when it comes to Greg Miller. |
Greetings, Beard-In-Chief! Thank you for taking the time to do this AMA. I'm curious about your career history; what led you to getting to where you are today? | 1: I hold a BA in English from Arizona State University (go Sun Devils!), and I started my writing career typing on my Brother Word Processor for fanzines, covering music in LA in the 90's (Bad Religion! Jane's Addiction! Slayer!). I parlayed that into games, later got a job at the Los Angeles times, and the rest is sort of history, as they say. |
2:I'm not a giant fan of motion games, but I gotta tell you, my kids LOVE THEM. I'm also not a fan of poorly implemented f2p models, ie getting me hooked on a game, then dropping the microtransaction hammer on me. And I know, publishers would call that a "well implemented f2p model". | |
As an ASU alum myself, I'd like to know what you think of the Todd Graham hire? | I like that he's big on offensive, specifically with QB drive. Shouldn't be a dull season. I just hope he lives up to all the hype he's already laid down. |
I'm hoping ASU loses 4 of their last 6 games again this season. | :( |
What kind of an obligation do you guys feel to promote popular games? I know people throw around COD-bias and the likes a lot, but how do you define the line between giving people what they want and exposing us to new content? | We're ultimately obligated to write about readers want to read about, meaning, we're here to serve the interests and passions of the readers. That said, if people are really excited about Guild Wars 2, we aim to offer enough content to satiate those appetites. IGN and our extension brands on YouTube and Xbox Live, is a giant site, with multiple tens of millions of viewers every month. And those people like an array of different games. It's no surprise that there's giant audiences for Halo, Call of Duty, Minecraft, The Elder Scrolls, etc. We really strive to give people what they want, and experiment with new ways of doing that. One new thing we started doing is a videocast called Command Prompt (it's actually a reboot of our old podcast Link to feeds.ign.com) It's PC gaming-centric and Charles Onyett and Anthony Gallegos, our intrepid PC editors, cover three games a week. And by cover, I mean they play three games, usually one more well known title, then two smaller titles. So its part traditional coverage, part discovery of new games, and all podcast-like chitter chatter, all over gameplay. Check it out here and on YouTube Link to www.ign.com |
Also, what character would you most like to see in the new Smash games? | In regards to Smash Bros, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see someone pillage the mines of old '80's cartoon characters. Can you imagine He-Man, the Herculoids, Silverhawks or Robotech characters? You know, I can. Just no Kidd Video, please. |
What do you think when you hear about bonuses(and sometimes the entire existence of a developer) is hinged on a number that come from average scores on Metacritic and such? | Frankly? I say developers need to strike better deals with publishers, contracts that don't over-extend a developer's to the point where they can't cover its monthly burn if they don't hit that mark. This is true in any other business, if you make a deal that hinges on performance, you 'd better either be sure your product will perform, or have a solid plan b. |
That said, metacritic is a particularly fusty to use for this sort of thing. It's not entirely scientific and its really easy to get inadvertently gamed. Smaller blogs that have little to no oversight and scoring accountability can inflate/deflate scores for more exposure, and said sites are ranked besides larger media outlets who have 10-20 years of experience. It's very complicated, but ultimately if a developer signs a deal that's heavily weighted towards metacritic success, that's largely on them and probably not the smartest/safest move. | |
Have you ever had to delete a part of a review because the company requested it (or demanded it)? | Compared to the number of reviews we run, the number of times a company gives us critical feedback on a review isn't high. That said, we're always open to changing something if we've made a factual error or made some factual mistake in our copy. Otherwise, no, we do not delete or edit content simply because a company complains. |
What are some tips you can give me about going into gaming journalism? | As far as going to college, that's the best thing you can to other than simply writing. You need to write, and write and write some more. You should also find your voice and have something to say. These days, anyone can start a blog and do what everyone else doing. Find a way to make yourself different, to stand out. I'm not saying be obnoxious or come up with a shtick, but find a way to make yourself memorable. As far as other things you should know, read this: Link to colincampbellx.tumblr.com |
Anything you wished you knew? | Its a quick list of tips for young would-be journalists, written by IGN's own Colin Campbell. Read it, be it, live it. |
I've always kind of wondered when, on a scale of 10, "7" became the "average". As someone who deals with this scale on such a regular basis, do you feel that this is a better point on the 1-10 scale for average, rather than "5"? | Well, yes, calling a 7 "average" on a 10 point scale is a misnomer. On our scale, a 7 is "Good". Technically, you are correct, a 5 should be average (our 5 is "Mediocre"). |
We're actually rethinking our reviews, jump into the conversation right here: Link to www.ign.com | |
Oh, and here's our review scale, for your interests. Link to www.ign.com | |
I understand the scale, but in many situations it seems like the scale is somewhat thrown to the wayside in favor of the high school "anything under an 8 kinda sucks." Have you seen this or do you just disagree? | This is just wrong, as I'm assuming you know, but many very vocal readers favor this sentiment. Clearly the idea that "anything under an 8 kinda sucks" is asinine. |
Hi Casey, I was wondering your opinion on video games as a teaching tool for logic and puzzle solving. Could you see this as a viable integration into the educational system? I also would like to know your opinions on females as presented in video games. How many staff members at IGN are female and, if possible, what are there opinions on the frequent sexualization of women (Even in strong roles?) | I think games are an extraordinary means for teaching, and most games do exactly that without even trying. My kids have learned so much eye/hand coordination playing Mario Kart, problem solving playing Zelda, strategy playing Pokemon, and so on. They're also fun, so anytime you can make the teaching process entertaining, you're doing something right. My opinion of women as presented in video games is mixed. The industry has grown leaps and bounds in the way of not simply representing women as a collection of disembodied body parts or princesses needing saving. That said, it is still a predominately male-centirc business, run largely by men and serving a largely male audience. That of course is changing, and will continue to change, but its a process. For every rebooting of a previously sexualized character like Lara Croft, there's bikini pre-order bonuses for Dead or Alive 5 or some such thing. |
I think its worth pointing out that the sexualization of females is not isolated to video games. Hollywood, television, comic books, the music industry, all have and do use images of sexualized bodies to drive entertainment interests. It's really everywhere. If someone wants to enjoy sexual content, regardless of how overt, they can and will. It's out there and people will always create it. I think remembering that its a larger issue is helpful in understanding how to improve the culture in video games. | |
Casey Lynch is my favourite character in Guitar Hero. How did such a beardly man inspire such a sultry rock goddess? | It's a long story that involves Dead Rising, Slayer, copious amounts of Johnny Walker Black Label and a good kick to the balls. But yes, that character was named after me during a bizarre trip to Harmonix in Cambridge in the spring of 2006 that I can't seem to remember, but can't quite manage to forget. |
Whats your favorite game/franchise of all time? | Favorite game: The short answer: Advanced Dungeon and Dragons. |
I know, it’s not a video game, but if it weren’t for D&D, there’d be no video game obsession for me. | |
Still, this is a horribly cruel question, isn’t it? Much like asking someone to pick a favorite meal. Only one? And don’t just say pizza (cop-out… err, easy pick?) | |
Publically singling out one video game, for me, means giving no honor to so many deserving games. No praise for Planescape: Torment, Impossible Mission, Earthbound and Mass Effect 2. No love for Phantasy Star II, Voodoo Vince, or Halo 2. | |
So let’s do something instead. I more readily recall moments – and what was happening in my life - than I do games on their own. It’s the memories of those moments – and the people I shared them with – that come rushing back to me, that I cherish, like the instant recall of summer anytime I smell chlorine. | |
My favorite memories revolve around playing the first few Ultima games with my friends on my C64 - yes, my D&D friends. It was like someone took D&D and put it into a computer game. By extension, the same is true for Baldur's Gate. That's definitely up there high on my list. | |
I have incredibly fond memories of playing my Intellivision with my father. Partly because, well, it was fun to play with my Dad. Partly though because no one else had an Intellivision in my neighborhood, and I loved that. All my friends had Atari 2600's and Colecovision, but i had Microsurgeon! And a ton of other terrible games, hence my original points. Great memories, not the greatest games, but guilty pleasures can be some of the best pleasures of all. | |
When in doubt, I'd also say Earthbound, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mama. SNES RPG's were the shit. | |
It seems to me that video games these days are rated on a scale of 5-10, with anything less being absolute trash. Hell, even a low 7.- seems almost terrible. Why do you think an "average" game isn't given a 5, but a 7.5? | Like I said a few posts up, average should be 5. The 7 being seen as average is undoubtedly a result of the US scholastic grading system, in which a 7 is average, or satisfactory, or passable. |
We do our best to liberally use the entire 20 point scale, but again, we are in talks regarding improving our scoring system. It's an ongoing conversation that will last until the ground opens up and swallows us all whole. | |
Hey Casey, | Hey Dancing Dynamo, really good questions. |
, I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of yours, I've been following you for years and loved that IGN brought you on board. | Link to www.ign.com Link to games.ign.com |
[1: Awhile back there was some hugely negative response on here about Greg Miller's (who I also love) Dead Space 2 review. Personally I see it as a low point for IGN's written reviews, and I know many on this website share my opinion. I know you're obviously not going to throw Greg under the bus or anything, but as Editor in Chief is there anything in particular that you're trying to focus on in the future to avoid incidents like that? ](http://www.reddit.com/IAmA/comments/xy3sx/iam_casey_lynch_editorinchief_of_igncom_ama/c5qmak6?context=5) | 2: I'd say people should read IGN more if that's how someone feels. We love to make lists and categorize things, sort things, and attempt to put things in their place in history. Our readers love it too. But we love playing unreleased games and telling you about them, writing about big topics in our business and OpEds about major issues just as much. |
3: Any albums you've been really digging lately? I'm loving the new Baroness stuff and judging solely by your beard I'd say you'd be pretty into it #beardism #sorryimnotsorry. | 3: I've really gotten into Cormorant's "Dwellings" lately. Also check out Cloudkicker "The Map Is Not The Territory" and "Let Yourself Be Huge" for very different but equally awesome progressive goodness (the first is Meshuggah-esque djent rock, the second is laid back math jingles). As always, check out Periphery and Protest the Hero for awesome all around metal. |
PS: As Editor in Chief you have the power to force Daemon to make another Knockin Boots, right? Because it's been offline since January and I need my fix. | PS: We shuttered Knockin Boots a while back. It may resurface at some point in the future. |
Hey Casey- We all know what the awesome things about working for an outlet like IGN are (playing games for a living, awesome workplace, etc.), but what is the WORST part about working for IGN? Dealing with commenters and trolls? Losing the suprise of announcements? Actually having to work during E3? Thanks, and keep up the good work. | My job can be incredibly stressful, time-consuming, and emotionally intensive. Make no mistake, I love it, but there's a lot to it. Having to make decisions that affect peoples lives, who to hire, how to build the staff, what direction to take the site in, it is both an incredible privilege and a heavy burden. So I suppose those are the most awesome and the worst things, simultaneously? Does that make sense? Let's make liek it does. The other things, sure, those are tough. It's always maddening to know about a game that hasn't been announced yet, and not be able to talk about it. I actually love working at E3, so there's nothing bad about that. |
Why did you guys nuke the VN boards? Merging them with the IGN boards destroyed thousands of pages of user generated material that still comes up in Google searches but cannot be accessed. Really makes finding information on Dark Age of Camelot brutal. | I'm just encouraged someone is still interested in Dark Age of Camelot. But really, ask @sngign on twitter, he's your man for this sort of thing. |
Love IGNs podcasts. I always get a feeling of passion coming from the people working there. | I can't really speak to how it affected things at IGN as I only joined the team in July of 2011 (just over a year!), but it definitely had ripple effect throughout the business. I was writing for a number of outlets when that happened and I heard many a story of a re-establishing of boundaries, if only to re-establish the clear line between edit and ads. |
Quick couple of questions - I know this is before your time at IGN - but did the Jeff Gerstmann Incident at GameSpot have an effect on how the advertising teams and review teams worked? Did it reinforce a wall of separation? Did it bring the management's attention to the necessity of reviews untainted by the publishers/developers? | Link to www.youtube.com |
Are you ever asked to give favourable coverage to games/movies that are part of fox/other murdoch owned businesses, what with you being owned by news corporation? | We've been asked to cover products owned and created by other companies owned by News Corp. We do out best to explain from the outset when that is the case for full disclosure. |
IGN is one of the most influential voices in the gaming industry, whether it be good or bad. For instance, given favorable and prominent coverage, mods like DayZ or indie games like Minecraft originally was can grow exponentially. How do you feel knowing that a review coming from your editorial staff has the potential to make or break a game? In other words, what is your opinion, as the editor-in-chief, of having so much power over the industry? | The editorial power, put that way, is humbling. I honestly try not to think about it like that, at least not in a bad way. If anything, I know we have that more a responsibility to be fair, honest and to strive to get things right knowing how what we say can affect things. I work hard to impart that upon the staff and remind everyone that everything we say and do matters. But really the same is true for everyone in this business, from your homespun blog to Andy Mac and his fine staff over at Game Informer. |
What is the oldest console you own and still play? | I played Arkanoid on my NES last week, complete with my Vaus controller. I still own working NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Saturn, two Dreamcasts, a GameCube (played Metroid Prime with my son a few weeks ago) and a bunch of PS, PS2, PS3, Xboxs and Xbox 360s in various states of operation and disrepair. |
How do you feel about your competitors like Gamespot and other forums? Do you all communicate about news, or is it pretty cut-throat? | We're friends with most editors from other prominent outlets, especially writers in areas near our offices. We don't typically work together on news per se, but we do communicate about content from time to time as applicable. I'd hardly call it cut-throat. More like nerf warfare, though that sounds lame. Sorry for that. |
What is the most significant thing you think your leading has introduced to IGN? | I would say a strong focus on editor identity and video. Since starting at IGN last year in July, we've increased our video output, in particular creating news videos in order to move headlines from IGN and onto other platforms, including YouTube and Xbox LIVE. |
I've also worked hard to get the editors' identity front and center, so you know who our writers are, what games they like, and which critics you can align with. It's always great to know someone likes Resident Evil games, and can speak to the whole franchise, and then tune in to see what they think of the new Resident Evil game. | |
There's tons of little things, many that are behind the scenes. I wrote the first style guide for IGN editorial content in more than 5 years, I've championed live streaming content and worked for us to specialize more; rather than cover every single game out there, we aim to cover the games our readers tell us they want to read. |
Will I have another answer if the previous one for How To Play Dayz Standalone cannot fulfill me? There are many answers given more than one answer for How To Play Dayz Standalone, so you can see more for your reference, choose the best answer to meet your requirement. Normally, the ones that satisfy the majority will be on the top. Or you could just delete and re-install DayZ if you never plan on playing offline again. And also this worked fine for me but I take no responsibility if battleye kills your family, or if your PC catches fire, or if a DayZ dev comes to your house to yell at you. Now, you can still go about creating one on PC that way, but now that the DayZ team has created an official route for making private servers, we recommend doing it that way.

Bohemia Interactive's 'DayZ' has been a huge success in the last couple of years. Taking a more realistic approach to the survival genre than most titles, it's often cited as one of the most difficult titles available. It lives up to its name. Actually, you can't PW your room. It's against the TOS, from what i read anyways. On topic : I just hope there's an offline mode or w/e you can play with friends only, i really don't feel like dealing with these paranoid people on this game. You know, play the game like it is suppose to be...a survival apocalypse world, helping others and ect.. When you are offline, you can use your Xbox One to watch TV, sign in to your profile or change the settings on your console. Of course, you can also play games, save them, and make screen shoots during the game or earn Achievements. DayZ will also get full Steam Worksop support, and Bohemia is going to release the tools for people to be able to host their own DayZ servers. No thanks you lot are weird - I'm going to play on my Bohemia's Brian Hicks last night revealed that DayZ is set to get a single-player offline mode, something that'll allow players to survive the zombie apocalypse alone should they so wish. The offline mode will also allow modders more freedom to experiment with their creations away from public servers. Is there an offline mode in XBOX ONE DayZ version? Or is XBOX Live required to play?
