Early Access Review
Updates recently, under Daybreak, where emptying the game, till the last, that fixed the game better, till it became fun again, I find this game to be extremely competitive and fun!

6th UPDATE:29 Jan 2015 b4 DayBreak

I recently bought Dying Light, a couple of weeks after H1Z1, i must admit a fact, that everyone is reviewing Dying Light as a perfect game but it's not, i expected such a similar effect, you know what sort of effect? That it's INCREDIBLY HEAVY IN THE HEAD, too heavyweighted to handle, just the same effect as GTA 2-3-4-5, they are incredibly cumbersome in the head, after an hour at most i get the headache, and it makes me wanna go to bed...instead i could play H1Z1 all day long, i played many survivals, nearly all the ones avaiable on the market, (you can check my profile if you don't believe me), and the colours, the mood in H1Z1 are just so chilled out as well as accompained by a deep crafting experience that will never bore me, i could play H1Z1 for 24 hours a day without feeling minimally tired or altered by it, and after the updates could just get better! (new recipes, better balance of loot, challenging loot quests, anticheat). Here on H1Z1 you did such a balanced job that will never stress me out, on Dying Light or Gta,( a part the 1st) the motion becomes nauseating in a short time, i envy those kids playing hours and hours with Gta like sort of games, but i really can't be that way, i'm 32 years old now but i know exactly what i'm looking for. Here on H1Z1 i died many times for hackers loosing some of the best loot ever found, (rifles+pistols+lots of ammos, food and equipment), but i never get angry enough! Thanks SOE, i must specify that i'm not paid by you, but i feel grateful of such a gaming experience you are offering me...honestly you deserve to be the best survival game of the year. I befriended with many young virtual friends i had because they were claiming that your product is horrible without even owning a copy! They are just so immature they don't realize it, and they say that i'm childish..while they describe games like Dying Light as the best stuff ever on the market, honestly it gets me fed up quickly cause it is just bloated of action/parkour that becomes SO REPETITIVE! I really can't understand those young generations...i'm so deluded. I'm faithfully your as a player..

5th UPDATE: 26 Jan 2015

This game needs some rebalancing, of the loot for example, but it is one of the best survivals, (if not the best), around, wait till it's free to play if you aren't convinced, but i'm totally happy with it, I heard many idiots reviewing badly this product just because of voices they heard around the net, honestly SOE shouldn't apologize with the unhappy users, because it's still an alpha and i expected that in day 1 could've been problematic...i waited patiently to day 2, (without deniyng myself a bad review, at the bottom of this one), and i've been rewarded with the most refined survival ever played, thanks SOE!

4th UPDATE: 21 Jan 2015

Yeah, this game is good but tends to get boring easily, (after a couple of hours i'd start to yawn a bit), because the loot, after 3-4 hours from the next update that renovates it, is not distributed in a way that could be found easily, after those 3-4 hours it tends to be really rare, for example some important tools, like the knife or the crowbar, are not easy to find, and in order to do a better weapon, such as a wood axe to lit campfires or to extract meat from animals, metal is necessary,(metal scrap that is possible to extract with a crowbar); for the rest it is quite balanced, i like the zombies either, they are not stupid, at night sometimes they even become bothering, but fortunately they aren't difficult to beat. I really hope they'll do something for better loot, in order to make a more interesting and challenging game, honestly it shouldn't be that difficult, if they don't want to give backpacks,(easily craftable btw) or weapons easily, they should just tweek the percentage of metals scraps to smelt in a furnace, that would be a smart move.

3rd UPDATE: 19 Jan 2015

This is a TOTALLY REFINED game! BUY IT or wait when is free to play, but you just need to discover the ways of surviving and evolving to see the real product quality! WAY BETTER THAN DayZ standalone, i reccomend it to anyone that is not so stupid to fall in other fool people suggestions easily! No need for Pay2Win Tactics, you can do it your own just by being smart, TRUST! RECCOMENDED, DEFINITELY!

2nd UPDATE:(17 jan 2015) I met a german guy while i was exploring a house today, at first i wanted to beat him with a branch i found next to a bush, but after 3-4 hits i regretted and started to talk: "I don't want to kill you, don't worry"! And gave him a couple of blackberries, he answered with a funny accent and we teamed up at the end, we had lots of fun exploring around and scaring other players shouting things like: "don't run away, we are just hungry zombies, we would like to eat you!" and so on...One of them, with an axe and a bow, was in such a difficult moment that fell from a cliff trying to defend himself, then after several minutes i died of starvation, just eating blackberries wasn't enough. Would like to experience this again 10/10

UPDATED REVIEW: (17 jan 2015)

Finally today i managed to access a server immediately, without issues, i must say that is all looted but seems fun, i found a bottle of water and got killed a couple of times, once in a fight barehands, the other one hit by arrows, i must say that i'm having fun and i'm prone to change my opinion, hope this evening, (europe time, +1 from greenwhich) it will be possible to play without having issues. The graphic is not that bad as claimed in other negatives review, the map is quite interesting and the climate changes are well done. I didn't meet any zombie yet, just unfriendly players. If only the game and the items in the shop were cheaper! I'd reccomend it straight away.


FIRST IMPRESSIONS AT DAY1: (16 jan 2015)
I feel a pervert when i waste my cash in this way...

I tried to access the game for more than an hour, in at least 12 servers, a part the waiting time that for many servers lasts for at least an hour and a half or two, once it is ready to access it crashes!

I managed just once, (at the 3rd try), to access a server but i got kicked out in 2 minutes time while i was looking at the commands list, what happened afterwards is that i couldn't log out anymore of the game and from that instant any time i tried to relog it made me cue for several minutes to horribly CRASH, ALWAYS!

Is this meant to be a professional product? I doubt that a software house like Sony manages to develope such a SCAM!

What's wrong with this game!? I played Rust, Nether, DayZ, 7DaysToDie, BeastsOfPrey, RisingWorld, Unturned and many other MMO survivals, they are all managed way better! Even FORSAKEN UPRISING does it better! What the heck is this?

I'd like my cashback! Until now i cannot reccomend it, i really hope to be able to change my opinion and review on this game in the future!

Agreed, honestly with all this capitalism based on war profits and petroleum we will never manage to respect each other in order to develope those ideas of cooperative living and sharing, possibly without favoriting anyone trough long term delegations and respecting the balances of nature either, people will always fall in temptations to feel better than others, superior, abusing our common values.

Personally i think the idea of communism (everyone sharing in the modes of production, equal opportunity, etc. ) is a decent idea. It's just seems like every time a communist system was tried there was some overly corrupt peoples who took advantage of their positions of power and messed it up for everyone. Really? Communism and Anarchy aren't supposed to be based on race, just your econominc and political position. It must be those underlying tones of nationalism and facism coming through.

Lots of italians want to go back to fascism...i use to be a comunist in the past but even them are so pigheaded sometimes, and well, even if not openly racist they are excluding lots of peoples with their way of being, for example i was seen from many comunists or anarchist as rich or fascist myself...so someone not to trust, i dunnow, i've never been rich at all, i'm so poor that i'm allowed to receive some assistance, to find jobs for example, but people do not understand that easily, they just see me as a rich guy, i just look different and people here are compelled, you know? Not different like a complete chinese or african, belonging to a specific ethnic group, because even chinese people for example wouldn't accept me easily in their business.

That's too bad, I would have thought italians would have learned from their facist days.
Boredome 2 Mar, 2015 @ 3:20pm 
Yeah...nz would be an interesting place, i found many similarities between australian and italians honestly...and it's sad, they are so yokel in the head.
Cpt 2 Mar, 2015 @ 2:43pm 
Chinese even, them italians i tell ya. I'm guessing there is quite a bit of racism there, Australia is the same, probably germany too. In NZ everyone is halfcast so there's not too much of that.
Boredome 2 Mar, 2015 @ 2:18pm 
yeah..mixed ethnies..and i tell you, it's incredibly difficult to grow in italy seen as a chinese while you have malaysian and austrian/german blood.

Typical? No. Italian? I guess if a squint. Either that or a halfcast
Boredome 2 Mar, 2015 @ 12:46pm 
Look at my profile pic, do i look like a typical italian to you? :wsma_embarassed:
