klakax 0 Posted January 22, 2014 I just bought DayZ and for few first hours I really enjoy it but I just wonder what's the goal of this game. I mean what do YOU do in this game? Do you just get gear and then you just walk around and kill other people? Or do you find some random house, barricade it (if it's possible), and then you hide all your supplies there? How and why do you play DayZ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bash Arkin 266 Posted January 22, 2014 See, i have a tally up in my house next to my computer where i mark things, "How many people have i forced to drink stuff" "How many people have i given false blood bags too" "How many fresh spawns i've killed this week" "When do i need to consume another human heart to keep me going" Ect stuff like that. In all seriousness, you just do what you want DayZ has by far the best exploration of any other game i've play'd in quite awhile, i tend to go around helping out fresh spawns on the coast, and then head up to North-West-Air-Field once i'm bored and want to fight someone (Any of the major citys will work too) its about the player interaction not what gear you have.

jrussell4402 21 Posted January 22, 2014 What do you do? -Spawn-Run towards a grouping of buildings in the distance-Approach what has now become a city by visual evidence-Creep into the first building you see, notice your sneaking is still loud-Find nothing, exit said building-Creep into next building close by, find nothing-Continue this exploration, finding some useless items and some not so useless-Exit town and up the coast-Run into another player(s), wave hands, shout friendly, declare innocence.-Be forced to do something against your will-Be killed by said interaction-Respawn Eventually you will become the person forcing unto others against their will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NagsterTheGangster 388 Posted January 22, 2014 have fun i guess, like all games XDjk its all about interaction, because it gets INTENSE when you first get geared and dont want to die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowjack 254 Posted January 22, 2014 DayZ is the anti game. Little to no rules or game dictated objectives. YOU, the actor determines the game for you. The goal of DayZ is to instill strong emotional response to events that happen to the actors as they go about the business of surviving. DayZ is a true story we each create for ourselves around hard choices that must be made. Each choice with their own risk vs reward consequences. It has been said that every true story ends in death. With each death comes the opportunity for a whole new game. Thank you Dean Hall 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How and why do you play DayZ? The goal is to survive. After that, its up to you like Zork Choose Your Own Adventure books from the day. Roleplay yourself or another persona. A lot to do there. Most games are linear, this isn't. No golden star or achievement's here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
