THEGordonFreeman 664 Posted January 6, 2022 Anyone remember when DayZ was a fun game? Remember .55? It was a mess, but it was FUN! I remember the trains of cows running around, and Zeds just running them in circles. It was silly as shit. The weapons were unbalanced as hell. It was all about the shotgun! Later when vehicles were first introduced, they were pretty good. Now the game is just overly complicated, hit zones and bone systems. The whole addition of consoles to the mix and the controller change and moving vehicles server side, really took a lot of the fun out of the game. I recently reloaded up Arma 2 DayZ. Joined a wicked server with about 40 players and HAD A BLAST! It was FUN. Stupid fun even, vehicles actually worked. The graphics were terrible. Weapon usage was incredibly fun. yeah, shit glitched out from time to time, but that authentic DayZ feeling is still embedded in the soul of THAT game. Most of the survival mechanics we have now were not there, but that was not the point of the original DayZ. It wasn't about survival, it was about experiencing a game that was fundamental and raw. When Standalone was announced and eventually hit .55 it had THE Authentic feeling, even though it didn't even achieve parity to the Mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
