For those who have been under a rock for the last few months a new game has really hit the masses and made a huge impression, Day-Z.
With 1,264,595 Unique Survivors
Why has this become so popular? There have been millions of zombie survival games before… but not to this extent, the learning curve you face is like what we used to have to deal with, where rather than being stepped through every single moment of the game with hints and tips and GIANT ARROWS to lead the way you stumble across a hostile environment and you learn the hard way.
You are dead,a familiar site for anyone braving dayz
You end up hating yourself for not being careful when you walked out of that building and not checking the horizon for a glimmer of a sniper waiting to meet you. It punishes you for the simple things; you didn’t keep check of your water? You die. You didn’t think about the fact its raining and might get cold? You die. Oh let me remind you there are other survivors out here just as you think you are safe. You’re dead. Yet it’s so rewarding, finding a Lee Enfield and somehow hitting a 500m shot while you are craving pain killers with your aim shaking, you really do become emerged.
What are the Survivor Gamez?
For those who have tried this game you may already know of The hunger gamez, ran by the more elite players of Day-Z over on Twitch.Tv, based upon what was highlighted in the books. Teams of 2 take on the world and each other, with zombies. There will be around 12 teams, comprised of the very best. If you do know the streamers you will be seeing the likes of Brotatoe, Kai ,Puddn and there is even a rumour of Sacriel.

You may ask why the hell I should watch this, it looks bad the graphics don’t seem all that great and well it looks pretty slow. I assure you, I promise you when the action starts you will be engrossed, you will be screaming for your favorite team of players to stay alive and avoid being slain by the opposing enemy. Make sure you head over to their streams to get an idea of who each of these guys are and who you will be supporting for the Survivor Gamez. They will all be live streaming the whole event; last time it took 5 hours for there to be one winner but who knows. It will be casted and streamed as well.
Do not miss out on this Coming October 20th.
I will be bringing a interview with the Bro Squad pretty soon before the event begins so make sure to stay tuned!
Will you be watching ? Check out the guys in this so far below...

I bought arma2 in the sale for 5 euros or something and got dayz with it. The mod is quite buggy but the gameplay is excellent, it really is a unique experience and alot more realistic than say...left4dead?
The standalone is still in development, but the creator is very keen for community input which means the end product will be very similar to what the community expects it to be. Unlike Wolfenstein was...
Thumbs up Pansy, now what else are you going to pull out of your beanie?
If enough people on here play Day-Z we should crack together a small squad!
you will be paying 30€ for a not very good game in order to play an alpha mod that is not the prime focus of the dev team anymore.
if you have the money to spare and you like immersive experiences then it is worth it.
e: there are also deathmatch server that focus on the PvP part of things and the game can be used to check out other mods such as takistan life and project reality.
It depends what you want out of a game, if you just think sitting on elektro sniper hill server hopping with your crappily found L85 then yes im sure it will get dull quickly, play the game properly and you will be amused for as long as you want. I honestly believe its one of the best start up projects for a FPS / Survivor game in a fucking long time.
i understand that different people want different things in a game but realisticly you are talking about spending hours of preperation and careful consideration for a very short time of actual enemy encounter and gunfighting.
its a perfect change to the fast paced FPS world but i guess its not a long term solution for a lot of people.
i think pretty much everyone can appreciate the initial experiences you make in dayz. the immersion at the beginning is like nothing i have ever experienced before. you will have to decide for yourself if gameplay and mechanics hold up after that is somewhat less of a factor.
i know that for me and my mates it was more of a hype than somwthing that you can go into great detail with.
You could have real battles (like 200v200) with tanks, choppers etc. but no, better kill them zombies.
Was more answering to what m1ke said
E: Nice read once again
I love the complexity of the game, there is so many factors that influence the gameplay. Awesome fun to master.
Also me frop and infi play regularly, Frop has his own server: NL 52!
Come join and play!
but there where some fun times to with potty and the boys.
