Finally what I was looking for...

[GpB311 236]

I've always been a console gamer. (Xbox fanboy for a few years now, but not against other consoles really)  Even though I've also always been a "computer guy," I was just never into computer games as a kid or in high school.

Like many people, I have kind of been sucked into the whole zombie/zombie apocalypse vortex and therefore always wanted a good game where you were stuck into a "realistic" zombie-pocalypse type situation.  I know there's Walking Dead games and countless other games to choose from, but I have to say that DayZ in it's alpha form has already made me believe it is offering what I am looking for.

Large, open world, no storyline or cut scenes being forced onto me, the ability to work with or against other people from all over the planet, and much more...I don't even mind its current imperfections.

I didnt play the Arma mod version, but am giving it some thought since there's so much more to work with in that version while theyre still improving the SA version.

I've also only played the game alone, so maybe it's time to buy a headset and start adding friends. I go by Sir Doctor Ninja if anyone feels like running around with a new player.

Thumbs up and welcome. Its a shame that you are a xbox fanboy because Last of us would be something you also would like.

I'd defo buy a headset and mic even for playing alone for 2 reasons:

 

1. The split second where you are typing "Friendly" to another player is likely to get you killed!!! Much easier to just shout it!
2. Situational awareness...much easier to hear where you are being shot at from through a decent headset!

 

Welcome to the game :)

I remember being curious about that one and wishing it had been an xbox title.  I heard that DayZ might end up on PS4 on one site or another, so who knows, I might just switch camps yet. haha

I def need to build up a few because my heart still skips a beat everytime I hear a zombie approaching or a gunshot coming from unknown origins!  Ive only found one gun when I made it far enough North to an airstrip.  Sadly I passed out due to food poisoning before even firing it.
