doctorbadsign 645 Posted January 19, 2014 DayZ isn't very fun at the moment to be honest. That is not to say it won't be, but at the moment the game involves running around finding items, eating and drinking then once you are geared up you will get bored to the point where you'll be putting your character into positions in the hope that you will die and thus have something to do again. Of course it might be a bit more fun with another person to play with, but you'll not have much to do other than run around together and look for other people to do whatever with (there's no vehicles or bases or anything yet). I wouldn't buy it now, it's a bit boring. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedNoak 13 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) well the thing is, the standalone is much more complex than the mod will ever be. just take a look at something as simple as the eat/drinking feature... also there is the security. since everything goes through the server, and all the spawns and zeds are also handled by the server its much more secure than the mod. hackers and cheaters will have a hard time compared to the mod... the possibilities of the standalone are just straight awesome. of course its still an alpha so buying it, is pretty much a choice of supporting or wait till a more stable and better version of the game is released. but there is no doubt that the standalone is superior to the mod.

Aetla 7 Posted January 19, 2014 As an oldschool multiplay shooter fan of CS and BF, RPG and MMO games i believe DayZ clearly represents the future of gaming.
