Recommended Posts

Truthfully I'm really thinking about buying the game just for this mod iv'e never played either of them but this looks pretty freaking sweet, any opinions? Or reviews how is the game without the mod as well as with the mod?

I havent played much of the game outside of the mod, but from what I have played it is OK. I am not huge into mil-sim games though.

I feel I have gotten my moneys worth out of the $30 I paid via steam just to play DayZ, and thats including the bugs and hackers I have run into.

If you are expecting a flawless game experience with no heart crushing bugs causing you to lose items, annoying graphics glitches in certain areas, or if hackers drive you insane.... then this isnt the game for you.

If you are willing to look past the imperfections and dont take it too seriously when another player kills you, then I would recommend giving it a try. it is truly a fun game even with all of its faults.

You could always download ArmA2 FREE version.

This would let you check to see if the game will run at a decent speed, and see if you like it.

If so then buy ArmA2 combined Ops! And download the FREE DayZ mod :)

I bought the game just for the mod and here is my opinion.

The mod is indeed a unique zombie survival game. It isn't no Left 4 Dead which is more like an arcade zombie game. Things in DayZ is slow paced, it could take you hours to just walk half way across the map. You have to care for your thirst and hunger meter, scavenge food and drinks to stay alive. Never have I played a game which could get me this freaked out at the sight of another player. It gets you paranoid, because you never know who is an A-hole so you must treat everyone as hostiles who wants to shoot you in the face and take the stuff from your dead body.

If you play by yourself it could be great if you enjoy the "lone-wolf-survivor" style, it could be more fun imo if you can get some friends to play with you via skype/vent/whatever. Expect LOTS OF BUGS, the most bugs you will ever see in a game, trouble joining servers, getting spawned in a different place than you were last time you logged off, lose all your stuff even though you didn't die, etc. The bugs frustrates you, but you will be unable to stop yourself from playing more still.

The question is, are you emo?

If you get passed the quirks and weird problems at times, you should be fine. If you do start playing it. Don't get attached to your gear!

Spambot?

I also agree that the best idea is to try A2F to see if it suits you.
