it's only fun once you understand everything about the game, I mean EVERYTHING. One slip up can cost a couple days run of stuff, dying from infections to other players ts (this)

SO I have a few hours in the game but it is getting boring after 5 years of it. Its the only game I can quit one day then pick it back up the next. Though I wouldn't recommend it to a solo, but if you have friends to play it with its worth the money I met some of my best friends on the game but I have also had on more than one occasion had whole servers hate my team. It is truly a game that is worth playing. You will want to quit at time and you will be dead broke and wishing you would of stoped playing but you will always get sucked back into it. If you do play and want a good fairly balanced server WormWood is a good server to start as well as Kryptic.

I'd recommend this game for someone who isn't interested in the end-game dynamics. Dayz is difficult but extremely fun to play. While fun, cheating on official servers is out of control. If you get anywhere near end-game bunker or base raiding, you will encounter a cheater with Chudvision or something similar that will make you hate this game. If they could eliminate the cheaters, this would be my favorite game. The fact that cheaters are so prevalent made my squad find something else to play.

It's a very fun game, but is full of cheaters. If you plan to play on official servers, expect to get killed by cheaters using admin tools. There's literally no way to report the cheaters to the company that made the game either. I've tried. Their forums are read-only. I advise that you spend your money on a company that actually cares about protecting their community. It's a shame because the game is fantastic when the cheaters aren't around.

How is it after 7 years of being fully released I still feel like I'm controlling a character with impaired motor control skills; it's not realistic nor is it fun. Cerebral Palsy Simulator 2025

Are you tired of living in a city? Are you tired of shallow and meaningless interactions with players online? Do you have an inner urge to live in the woods like Uncle Ted? Then this is the game for you! You can live in the woods, fish, pitch a tent, fist fight some wolves, kill zombies, and even commit war crimes on your fellow players. This game has it all my friend. This game will keep you company when you're away from home. Nothing is better than putting on a gillie suit, grabbing your rifle, a six pack of beer, and camping a zombie infested Army camp for hours and HOURS waiting for some unfortunate piece of shit to wander into your cross hairs. So if you're too poor to afford land in Colorado, hate human beings, and have a love of canned bacon then this game is for you! RIP OZZY!

I first and mainly played this game as an Arma 2 mod, but now my son is finally old enough to enjoy it with me, which has brought back the excitement i had when i first started to play this game. Sounds like the perfect time aswell with the newly announced DLC DayZ Badlands.

I've put in plenty of hours on this game and it is fun and exciting. Sadly the number of cheats on the official servers has got out of hand. Maybe someone would find a stash every few months or longer at random, but now your's will be visited every 24 hours because people use ESP cheats to easily find loot. The next worse cheat are the shoot box aim bots. Players pay for these too and allow players to shoot at aerial hit boxes (+ 2000 yards) to hit players. No damage no noise just shocking your player to death. These are extremely prevalent on servers with high active users. So if you want to be a sneaky player with a nice stash hunting other players, sadly these cheats will ruin your experience quickly. All the best to Bohemia in their quest to rewrite this gem to remove these cheesy cheats. If anyone says Dayz cannot be hacked just google for Dayz cheats and sites with half million plus user bases will show up. Not all for Dayz but enough to make it pointless to play. I'd rather play on a server with 10 real people, than with a full server with one cheat ruining the experience.
