I can understand, there is a big learning curve, I watched a lot of online videos of the game before I jumped into. After a while you remember where you need to go for a weapon, food and drink and medical things. After you do have all your gear or at least enough to feel safe, you explore, yes you can kill others you see for better stuff but it is a challenge, after all it is a game about surviving. I find it more fun to play to play with a buddy you trust. someone you have played with before and enjoy talking with. This was easier because I have moved from PS3 to Xbox and now to PC. The group I play with I know and that makes it more fun. I hope you have better luck with the game and maybe play with some people you know and like.
