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! |

That's what it comes down to really. If the game is doing what the other game does but better and it runs smoother why wouldn't I try it and\ or be excited by it? |

I guess we're seeing different things. The only thing that H1Z1 has over DayZ is building, but I guarantee you it's going to be a cluster****. It either won't be persistent or it will kill your CPU. Or both.

More Zombies hording zombie? check by a metric ****ton. Its not even ****ing close.
Crafting recipes? check, Building your own fort/housing? check. Barricading? Check Vehicles? check Your corpse reanimating to a zombie if not looted in time? Check More then 40 people on a server? Check by a long shot, if anyone has played Planetside 2 knows that the server can handle A SHITLOAD. Items that respawn without having to wait for a server restart? check Chopping down Trees? Check Map that continues to grow and grow as time goes on? Check Im sure there is more, but thats just from the top of my head right now. I have no ties to any game and i will play the game that i find more fun and for 20 dollars for early access when it does drop? its a no brainer for me. |

All these things will be in DayZ. Also the main difference is that DayZ is a simulation game, where h1z1 is built with the same engine planetside 2 has, which, of course they are going to tweak it, but it is arcade/FPS over simulation.
I will be trying h1z1 on early access as well. If it can pull the dayZ heart pounding encounters THEN it might be a better comparison. |

Make it like New-Cap City.
If you die, you are banned from the game for life. |

Is all that shit going to be available day 1? DayZ should have all of that too eventually. It already has crafting. |

Rocket said they didn't know if they could fit more zombies into the game. I highly doubt we will see hordes in Dayz. Vehicles and the rest are going to take absolutely forever. |

If anyone wants to trade Bioshock Infinate for DayZ on Steam with me let me know. This game just isn't my bag of chips.

.46 ready to roll out to experimental tommorrow. More anti-cheat, and a cryptic 'BOOM" from hicks.
Guess that means grenades or explosives since the throwing physics are in |
