I'm 33 years old so I've been gaming for a good 20 years now - yet I SUCK at DayZ - even after watching years of gameplay on youtube & every tutorial available. After 5 hours of playing I've learned that I'm the only person who hasn't figured out how to loot zombies (no F button?). I keep dying of hunger. I keep freezing to death. Out of my desperate attempt to not die of thirst I drank from a river and died of sickness. I am constantly lost and the iZurvive map somehow makes me even more lost. I just don't get it. I'm doing everything I see the neckbeards on youtube doing - I just can't seem to find as much loot as they do.
However I have met my first friend in the last game. After adventuring for a good 20 minutes we died of hunger together. It was awesome.
