SalamanderAnder (DayZ)

No offense, but I would simply like to point out that DayZ isn't like that... At all. We need more zombies for this, which is why I suggested it in my OP :P BTW, maybe a mod could move this to the new suggestions area?

Skyrim doesn't have multiplayer net-code. Solve that problem and consider your point to be proven, sir.

I don't care about the stigma on clothes. I wear what conceals me. The only good bet is to see the other person first.

Wow. Why did they all shoot? Very poor fire-discipline. One shot should have been sufficient to incap that man if necessary. That was disgusting... Also I agree. This is off topic. Whatever it has to do with DayZ is very far removed.

Lol, "boo hoo rain makes sniping harrrd I'm done with this shit!" As if rain doesn't make sniping hard in real life? Ever worn a pair of glasses in the rain dude? It's awful. All that fog and drops on the lens... Uhg.

There are going to be special backpacks which can hold rifles. Rocket stated this a while ago on a livestream.

Good stuff, generally good rules to go by. Voice contact is the most useful element in terms of finding friendly people. However, many people will befriend you only to kill you soon as you aren't looking.

Sounds beast as fuck.

<------- Yes please.

Nudity is disabled by default. What's with this fanboyism? Let the man make his own decision.

"Bitch about Rust"? It's a valid comparison. They are very similar games. Besides, have you seen my post count? Obviously I support this game, and I don't see any reason why I can't support Rust as well. Verbal violence? Get over it. Logical fallacy is the refuge of the incompetent, and creating a false dilemma like "you can't like two different games at the same time" is a perfect example of such.

Yeah, seriously. I'm here because I support this game - it has potential. However, it is lacking a lot. The interesting thing about Rust is that it isn't so different from DayZ, and yet the way people behave in that game, on the whole, is very different. Moreover, why do you care? You joined like, yesterday. You don't get to kick me - or anyone else for that matter - out of the forums, so why don't you fuck off and mind your own business? Gonna throw more caps-lock my way? You're actually just proving the OP's point by beings such a prick. Every one of your videos show people grouping up together, even if it is against other people. The guy in the second video is talking about how he is protecting his children. So basically, you just defeated your own fucking point - Thane is correct. Families group together. The real human drive to survive and reproduce is constant, otherwise, you wouldn't exist right now. You should wake up. It's spelled "philosophy," genius.

I love how people on this forum manage to convince themselves that Rust is the exact same as DayZ. 20 hours into that game and I formed a town with 30+ people, all of us making a ruckus and generally failing at organizing ourselves - it was still hilarious. Granted, some people attacked us and whatnot, but that only increased the bond within our little township. Like it or not, that game does compel a much higher degree of teamwork than this one. No matter what the anti-Rust crowd says, they can't remove the half a dozen people who have joined my Steam friends list because of that game. Friends from DayZ? Zero. Numbers don't lie. As for the OP - well, welcome to the Hunger Games the Video Game + 10 whole zombies. Maybe it'll be a little more balanced once the environment changes, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Considering that both the games put together equals the price of one standard triple A title, I don't see the dilemma. Buy both. First of all, people who judge Rust based on it's "visuals" are a: shallow, and b: probably haven't even played the game. Let me break down the two for you very simply. Rust is something like a minecraft/DayZ hybrid. Some people will kill you, yes - but if you are persistent and talk to people, chances are you will find some who are friendly and will group up with you. Gathering materials is the major curve. Construction is the major goal, and defending your base from intruders and raiding others makes it very entertaining. I've made good friends on there, with a Vent channel and everything. The enemies you make (and you will, trust me) can be frustrating, but over time you get the hang of it - besides, rivalries make the game fun. Once you know how to get around, dying is not such a disappointment. As for hackers - just stay off official servers and find community servers where there are active admins, who can ban hackers immediately. It makes the game much better. DayZ is gritty, unpleasant, and mostly a solitary experience. It's significantly harder to find people who are friendly. Becoming a ruthless killer is the major curve. There is no construction at the moment, and the map is much larger than Rust. The rewarding aspect of DayZ is when you have a group of players whom you already know and trust, or when you manage to kill someone who is attacking you - that sort of thing. It's about overcoming the environment. Basically, DayZ is much more challenging and immersive than Rust, but not as fun. One will often have you laughing hysterically, the other will have you swearing at your monitor. Don't get me wrong, I like DayZ for that reason, but they're just different experiences. Furthermore, I don't know where people are getting this "80% completed" crap about Rust. It's still early access. "We feel like we aren’t making it clear enough that the game is Early Access. Rust is still in development. This isn’t 95% finished, like a regular beta. This is 10% finished. We’ve got the bare bone foundations of a game here. We’re still developing it." - That's from the official site. It's still being developed. People on this forum are naturally going to be biased - just look at the replies. Most of these people haven't even played the game, so don't expect a fair argument. Someone who "watched a few videos" and decided it looked like crap - well, they really have no clue what they're talking about. I've spent 47 hours in Rust, I have a base where I live with like 15 other people (seriously, it gets hard to keep track) and we have a blast. I've spent 66 hours in the SA (don't even mention the mod, you don't want to know), and honestly, I'm waiting for more. Right now, it's a glorified pick-up-loot-and-then-free-for-all deathmatch. It'll be much better later.

Why you annoy me: You are pretentious and you make assumptions about people's personalities based on how they play a video game. 'Nuff said. Dean with it.
