Dystar

Hi there, I was looking to get a nice zombie game after getting jealous of my fiance who has Last of Us on HER ps3 and isnt in a sharing mood right now. I was going to get State of Decay but thats not out on PC yet and no set date. Then a friend at work told me about DayZ and how awesome it is. Watching the gameplay videos the graphics are really outdated but I still like the whole survival thing. My question is, should I go ahead and plop down the 39 bucks for ARMA II and the expansion in order to play the DayZ mod, or will they definately be releasing alph/beta? on steam soon through pre-order? Thanks in advance for your advice!

ok just purchased the ARMA II complete edition. so I have to install all of them to get the best textures in game? also, if I play on a public hive server and log out, then log onto another public hive server I will have same inventory correct? or does it start you from scratch every time you log in? and as far as private hives go those will retain your info just for that server right?

thanks. dont have alot of money but do have enough to buy a game. Only other 'gaming' thing I'll be buying all year will be Occulus Rift if the consumer version of it comes out. Other than that just looking forward to beta testing TESO.
