The Road experience

[Countercruel 2]

For all those who have seen The Road, you would know of the intense scenes that has in the film and the underlying effect it has on the viewer.

This is what i want from a part of the Standalone, being able to survive a long time with rugged clothes and a bushy worn beard... then coming face to face with another player at gun point and warning him and shouting at him in panic that if he dares to make a noise to his fellow friends or threaten me i will shoot him in the face.... just for the pure instinct to survive and not to get zombies alarmed to our presence.

"Now!, we will just turn around and walk away!, no games, no warnings. just leave... please i dont want this to be the end of us!, you dont want this."

And as a quick question, Because the sickness and health issues in the standalone; do you think throwing up or coughing would be a decent tactic for bandits to track where you are? and it has been confirmed that you can no longer tell when a player is in the area based off the zombies spawns.

I liked the book better. It shows the dusty, ash wasteland better, and there're more intense scenes. For example, the group of people roasting a baby on a spit.

Book and film are both excellent.

Bandit and survivor are both apt to become ill, I assume.

I've been killed more often in panic situations than by bandits to be honest.

It's definitely an interesting watch/read.

In my mind The Road is more of a typical apocalyptic "end of the world" itself rather than the possible "end of mankind" in Dayz. Hence working vehicles, structures mainly intact, good to be scavenged, still living farm animals etc.

I too would like the Mexican stand off rather than the whose "quickest on the draw" shoot outs we get now.

In order to do this, one must have more to live for rather than "Oh he shot me, can you guys give me a helo ride back to camp?"

Yes, completely. But without true consequences there will always be many who like to go all guns blazing.
