Ha ha! Maybe I should have said, "Breathing air." :lol:

OP is a tool. Being an expert at Youtube is like being an expert at opening doors. There's nothing complicated or intricate on Youtube and a majority of the community is a gaggle of chuckle fucks slapping up trendy content. Kid just trying to stroke his E-Peen. Also, why do you think that the "Large" CoD community and this community give a flying flip about each other?

First thing I do when I get into any game: Go to options, controls and read the key binds.

30 minutes? Well there's no mystery as to why you would want to quit since you put SO much time into the game and got SO far. :rolleyes:

Having no gun adds tension to any relationship with players. If they travel together and find one gun, who gets the gun? Is that person trust worthy? In my experience if you take enough time to meet someone, have a conversation, and decide to travel together WITHOUT a weapon it would be easier to trust each other. The entire point of the human element is it's chaotic nature. If he gets a gun and shoots you in the face, lesson learned, some people can't be trusted. The entire point of the game is that it's tedious. If you die, you lose everything and have to start again. I don't know what could be more tedious. Giving players a weapon instantly gives them comfort. Being a new player myself it was TERRIFYING not having something to protect myself with; I loved it.

Got a message for vet players. We're doing fine. The people who are complaining probably haven't played a survival game in their life. I like not having a gun when I spawn. It's completely unrealistic to automatically get a weapon.

I read that with the "british accent documentary guy" voice. "The shark gets his meal after all." Oh dear gawd someone do a DayZ Documentary.

I'm honestly excited to see where War Z goes. It's my hope and dream that Day Z has (finally) spawned/respawned the survival horror genre. Hate all the "hold down fire button; win" games out there. Need more games like Day Z, even if they might be blatent rip offs.

Location/Time Zone? I have a vent with a few buddies but they get their jimmies too rustled playing the game. Plus one likes to feed himself to the zombies.

Vulnerable means you can be hurt. Invulnerable means you can't. Now you know.

I THINK he's saying that since he's been on Youtube for 6 years he should be the one doing advertising for the game, since it's "catching on." In other words he's selling "promoting advice." It's really bad wording and I have no clue if I'm right. Edit: After reading it again, maybe he's asking for advice on how to play the game because he can't find anything good on youtube? Christ. Kids need to just ask straight questions.

I've been playing mostly in the day, just to get used to portions of the map. I plan to play night regularly. Don't see the purpose of playing at night if you're going to turn up the gamma and what not. Sounds like cheating. Filthy, dirty cheating.

I can understand. My parents always hated games. Worked a night shift job in school so I could pay for my own computer, internet, and games. My brother would spend thousands of dollars to "supe" up his car and was praised for his spending. I'd spend 50 bucks on a new game and got shit on by my folks for a month. Some parents have no idea how to relate to things they don't understand.

I took a day, found some servers that were less/not populated. Took my time, got a feel for the area, found some routes/good gear spawns, got back on the big servers and survived a lot better. Half of their ability is knowing the land and the routes people often take. On my first day of play I used the same strategy over and over; Straight line into and through towns picking at every nook and cranny I could find. As you can imagine, this didn't work and I died a LOT. The more you play the better you get at optimizing runs. You'll find out what places to pass and once you get what you need you probably won't have to hit big city areas much. Try to reach places from different angles or try to go to different places all together. Cherno and Elektro are the two biggest places in the spawn region and it's natural for players to gravitate there. Next play, try skipping it all together. Go somewhere else and explore a bit. I don't think you should avoid PK because if it wasn't in the game there wouldn't really be anything to fear. Zombies are a bit derpy and can easily be avoided if you are patient/smart. People just add a choatic element. You have no idea what someone is going to do and where exactly they are; it's brilliant in my opinion.

They really did a good job with T:A. I was super nervous in the beta but they turned it around. Wish it was still moddable though.

Nothing wrong with expanding your horizons. I played console straight up until GameCube and got introduced to (the original) Tribes. Been playing PC since. If you plan to really dive into PC games make sure you get Steam and lots of indie games. Best ideas seem to be coming from indie minds. Tons of awesome games out there, including Arma2/DayZ.

Bought the game specifically for the mod. I've had enough with BFs and CoDs and any other acronym you can think of for a war game. I'm here for the zombies. Didn't touch the tutorial. I like my brain and I'd rather play and learn. Took me three days but I can say with a lot of confidence that I'm a LOT better at the game then the first time I played. It couldn't be more obvious that this game is NOT run and gun. You don't even get a gun to start. The real fun is in finding out what works and what doesn't. Can't stand these goats who think that just because they've played Arma for X amount of time that they are the only ones who are allowed to play. If you can't offer anyone good advice don't sit there and derp about "in my day" and "virus ridden kids invading mah gaymz." Mainstream gamers act the same way that you do. Show a little class. All these kids with X-Boxes think they are the greatest gift to the earth, I love how half the PC community acts the same way. Fucking Christ. Want some real advice? If you don't know how the game works either figure it out or google it. Plain and simple. A sandbox is a sandbox. You don't need a fucking manual or tutorial, if you're having fun you're doing it right. If you're not having fun, try something else.

I like the idea of a diary! It sounds super corny but I look at Day Z as Dungeons and Dragons. Way more fun to open dialouge, see where the story goes, than to just run and gun. If you had just shot everyone you met you wouldn't have had, in my opinion, such an exciting day. I'm jelly that you got to have all kinds of adventures. :(

Don't know if it helps but ping and amount of players in the game is also pretty important. Seems like a smoother ride on less populated servers and better pinged servers. As far as the card goes, you could get an upgrade for a decent one pretty cheap. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?lowprice=25&highprice=49.99&keywords=GeForce%20GT%20430&cat=&mnf=

I think it's hilarious that he calls them noobs and talks about maxing out his gamma and brightness. Then he tells them that they'd "better leave" but closes his game when two of them find him. What a massive piece of crap.

You mentioned that you have only recently updated your computer to play this game, so I'm going to assume you aren't super familiar with a sandbox game, since there aren't many sandbox games specifically for X-Box. This game in particular you have to find some enjoyment of the elements. If you don't find any parts of the game enjoyable or thrilling then I'm afraid you might have wasted your time. Hopefully, this is just frustration in events talking and not a statement of displeasure to the entire game. I actually find this the most rewarding part of the game. There's a certain thrill in being completely helpless and because of the fact that getting a weapon or the weapon you want is at least a slight challenge makes your character's life important. If you play enough times you'll begin to figure out the best places to grab gear, what's worth taking, or buildings worth the risk. As for the players I enjoy that aspect as well. When I had my FIRST death after looting for three hours and finding what I thought was some awesome stuff I thought the same exact thing. Just for a second. But then I realized, the game would be too easy if there wasn't the looming threat of other people killing you. I'm afraid of people MORE than the zombies and I think that's a unique twist to a survival game. Normally you would think people would naturally help one another but when those basic instincts of "fight or flight" surface you really get to see a different side of humanity. Me? I'm a live and let live person. My first response to any threat is RUN, but I'm hoping to curb that a bit in the future for this game. I've come across plenty of people when I had the gun and they didn't. I always have a much better sense of accomplishment when I stare them down, turn, and walk the other way. You shouldn't lump all players together. There are people out there who are helpful and then there are people like me who just couldn't care what you do, as long as you do it away from me. To find enjoyment out of the game you REALLY need a goal. Even if they are little goals. Like: "I'm going to find a box of matches." TL;DR Game is fun. Sorry you can't find it.
