I'm finding it quite fun actually. I don't complain and actually try it out. Sure some people don't like the lack of starting gear but for me i find it easy to deal it. The first thing i do is find a hatchet. Having that serves two purposes. Later on you will use it to cut wood to cook meat. And as soon as you've got it, it will be your primary melee weapon. It's a bit screwed up with the whole reloading situation. The animation of the player inserting a new 'magazine' into the axe is funny :) But that's going to be ironed out in the next update. The axe is a silent weapon and should you aggro a zombie just stay patient and kill it and move on. Get a backpack, some morphine (don't underestimate the zeds abilities to break you're legs) I've had to crouch for hours on end to hit a city and find some morphine. And then get the hell away from the coast and move on up north and raid barns and military areas (stary sober is good for this) but be careful in certain locations, just because you're up north doesn't mean you're safe. Good luck.
