DayZ
With the DayZ standalone playable alpha release looming, I thought I would check out the mod version of the game. http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/
If you dont know, DayZ is an open world survival zombie game modification based off of the military sim ArmA 2 games. www.dayzmod.com Basically its hardcore mode survival against zombies and even more dangerous, other players. I have been watching vids for months and took advantage of a steam sale today to pick up ArmA 2. Anyone playing DayZ right now? Servers? Thoughts? I have a teamspeak we can use! |

This is a survival game and people shoot to kill way too much. I hope they add in bots and if you do shoot a bot it means instant death. This would keep people from shooting right whne they see someone.

Sure, but this isn't IRL. IRL, survival would mean killing zombies. People in this game simply run past zombies or hack them silently, since the main point seems to be killing/robbing other people. That's not an IRL representaiton of a zombie apocalypse, IMO. Plus, with camping, if you miss and someone picks you off because your gunshot gave away your location, you just respawn. On the other hand, if you're running for god knows how long to gear up (because you spawn in some remote location) and you're picked off by a sniper who cares less about zombies than waiting for people to kill, it's pretty frustrating.

as soon as my DAMN FIBER CONNECTION gets installed I will literally stream 90% of all gameplay I do, in any game. Until then check out some guys on twitch; Lirik Sacriel Ngotie PsiSyndicate Stanley Nickels and I have been getting down on some DayZ and in general, doing pretty well. I don't think we have been shot in the face yet, so that says a lot. |

Even though I haven insanely powerful rig I still only get around 30-35 in cities on maximum graphical settings, right now everyone's performance is taking a hit because the server side does not use multi-thread or have any optimization. Alpha-game is Alpha. Optimization coming soon~ |

I have a 660ti, but I have an AMD Phenom II X4. It's not very good.
I've been wanting to just get a i5-3570K so I will have a decent system, but I can never pull the trigger on it. Sucks I have to change my mobo too. I should have just gone intel when I built my rig. |

Man this is janky lol...I know it's Alpha so I'm cool with it.
Pretty fun so far, been a while if ever that a game has installed this amount of paranoia and nervous feelings in me. |
