Early Access Review
Just a sad story what happend to the idea of DayZ.
im following the game since the early mods for arma 2 have been released. But this game is acutally a
catastrophe.
before i call the main reasons, here some good stuff:
The game and the idea behind is really good it have a great atmosphere and i like the scenario, colleting food, guns, gear and traveling trew the map fighting zombies or the most of the players cuz the want to kill u but still a great experience.
But now why it is just bad.
Since December 16. 2013 this game is a unstable early accses game, with a horrible engine even on low quality this game is a nightmare, fps drops allday even in the woods not only in cities or similar, its so annoying and so bad even early minecraft versions runs better. Its not like i got a potato computer, actually good one for high specs on upcoming games but the game runs so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on my system and all cuz this game is just really hardware consuming. but thats not all, and its still buggy af it makes you feel you're really playing a early alpha of something called a game, i chilled like an half hour in a big stone till i died of starving, the respawn option was not possible. So.. the movment in a building feels also weird not like a good fps movment like tes:skyrim as example. Loot that is not there is a big problem to, died 2 times just cuz i got no food or drink but all i had was like 6 pistols and 3-4 rifles and other stuff thats good. but then after some ours i cant find any stuff anywhere, i dont know if its just a server thing but its annyoing walking arround for nothing just a waste of time.

it hurts to write this because it is a good game just unplayable and im not writing this cuz im raging about it im writing
it in the hope something changes and maybe the game will be playable in future. Also a good point is: there is nothing else like DayZ all the other games are so diffrent and feels diffrent to, i want to play a good survival game with a open (and big) world with collecting items, surviving and killing zombies, building shelters and stuff. and Yeah it is funny to walk like 30 minutes in a big map until u met ur friends or a big location where u can find loot and players.

But I think I'll only play DayZ in the future if it's really good and not a alpha or whatever like this.
