    DayZ Standalone is a game that's very divisive among the gaming community. After 5 years in early access, the game had a full in 2019 to a mixed reception. Many people thought it wasn't worth the purchase at the time, but what about in 2021? That's what I'm out to discover.
    At the time of recording, I had DayZ for about two weeks and had put 29.5 hours into it. So I'm in no way a DayZ expert.

    I have been gaming since 1979 when I was 10 years old. I have over 5000 hours in DayZSA and I came here to say that I stumbled into this, and it's the very best review of DayZ and frankly, of any game I've ever seen reviewed. So thorough, and you covered everything someone should know, even the smallest details and all the most important aspects. You really nailed this dude. Good job.

      I actually get this comment a lot. Whether or not to buy DayZ doesn't have a one-size-fits-all answer if you can't tell from the steam reviews, so I tried giving as much info as I could about the game so that you could make a decision on your own. I don't know what type of games every specific person likes so it's up to them to see if what this video showcase is right for them. If you want a clear yes or no then sure go for it. If you hate it refund it to steam within 2 hours.

    I've seen people buy this game and instantly regret it and hate the game because they're conditioned to being pampered by triple A titles like Call of Duty that holds your hand through everything. Dayz is harsh, unfair, difficult and unforgiving. The best way I can describe Dayz is when you first listen to an album and it sounds like crap, then the more you listen the better it gets. Thats how Dayz is, the more you play the better it gets until it becomes a full addiction and you can't get enough. Next thing you know its 4am and you've been playing for 16 hours straight, haven't eaten and your girlfriend is ready to leave you because you ignore her since you're playing dayz all day.

  • @kzaith
    @kzaith Před 3 lety +84

    If you're new you should really be trying to play on servers with just a few Mods. The more mods you find on a server the less interaction (other than safe zones) you're going to find. People will be sitting in their base more often than not. Cars are part of the base game so you don't need mods for them unless a server has added more cars. I started on a very heavily modded server and it really skewed my perspective of the game to the point that I stopped playing. Once I found a group of servers that were more focused on improving quality of life instead of adding MoRe GuNs AnD aRmOrS I actually had a lot of fun. Servers with markers, traders and safe zones really kill the DayZ vibe unless you're looking for a Call of DayZ game. If that's what you're looking for, there are a lot of games that do it better because that's not really what DayZ was intended for.
    Remember; dying is part of the game. You WILL die. You WILL die a LOT until you figure things out, but that's part of the fun. Just look at each death as a new adventure. Don't be scared to lose your gear. There is a LOT more gear out there.
    Also, Talk. Talk to everyone you meet. Even if 9 out of 10 don't talk back (which honestly it'll be more like 2 out of 10) you will have a very bad time with the game if you try to be the solo lonewolf all the time (especially in the beginning). DayZ is all about the interactions. You could either spend those 2 hours running through the woods quietly alone, or with a couple of random guys you just met in town. Which sounds more fun?

    • @anotheryoutubed
      @anotheryoutubed Před 3 lety +1

      I added MoreGuns to my server and completely removed cars. They’re beyond buggy with desync. Beyond that i added MVS for military flavor and that’s about it. I’m with you, too many mods make it a boring server where everyone sits in a base.
      My trader is mostly a sell location, you can’t buy 90% of what players would expect to buy. They have to actually PLAY DAYZ to find items of value and use, building tools, etc.

    My tip for DayZ newbies: Play with a friend. It's MUCH easier to get a pleasant starting experience, when you don't face the harshness of the zombie apocalypse all on your own. Also it's less boring to roam endless woods or loot isolated villages, when you have somebody to talk to. Playing with a friend can make playing DayZ worthwhile, even when you do nothing but chop wood and further process it to then build something with for hours and hours. Back in the days of ARMA II DayZ, I have spent whole weekends (and on some occasions even whole weeks) this way, bunkered up with my buddy at his place, only leaving the game for short snack or toilet breaks or to sleep. And I don't regret it. DayZ can be frustrating and depressing, especially when playing alone as a newbie, but it can be the most exiting, entertaining and exeptional experience you will ever have playing a computer game as well.

    I've had some unforgettable stories on DayZ (specifically the console version) it's definitely one of my favorites.
    This one time I was stalking this armed group and they were in the process of recruiting some guy. They were talking in front of the shed I was hiding in and so I decided to take the shot. I shot the first dude in the head with a pistol close range and ran out from the shed and dodged a few bullets, then I turned around and shot another guy 4 times in the chest. So far I had two out of four people dead, the recruit and another armed guy. I zig zag pushed the guy with the gun because I was out of bullets, so I pulled my sledgehammer out. Turns out the gunshots attracted a horde of zombies, so at that point I had serious blood loss because I had been hit several times by the zombies. I ran out and juked the zombies so I could retreat back into the shed and close the doors. When I ran in to close the doors a zombie had ran through and I fucking shit myself because I didn't want to die because of a zombie. He scraped me but I killed it with my sledgehammer. One of the dudes' bodies was clipping thru the door so I looted him, but then the fucken recruit ran through naked and punched me to death. Keep in mind I was extremely low but I was sooo pissed.

    I started Dayz since the Arma 2 mod, and bought the game when I was in college. I like to play the lone wolf bandit villian which fits quite well with the game mood. Stalking other players for hours, and following them to their secret stash or base, discovering their intentions is your thing... then this is the game. After 5 years of hiatus (and from your video still not much improvement besides the mods), yea.... I think I'll jump right back in. Lol

    I have paid a total of £22 on dayz and that includes Livonia DLC, the game is only as good as the player that is using it, owned it for 7 years but only really started playing it in the last 6 months, since release the game has changed so much its had a complete engine rebuild/replacement as for player inter actions get off the coast as soon as possible and head for the hot spots, Dayzexpansion mod is awesome, as are the maps made by the modding comunity, Namalslk, deer isle, Esseker, chernarusplus, rostow and valning to name a few, Dayz is not CoD so dont expect it to be.

    You do a good job. Keep it up. You come across genuine and easy to listen to. I'm new to this game and you explained it really well without bias. I can pick this game up for £25 (GBP) about $35. With lockdown kicking my ass, I'm going to go for it. Though I'm not going to be playing every day... Or maybe even every week for hours on end. I'm no pro at games, probably below average, so I think it'll be short lived. Especially if I do well and then meet someone for the first time whp has loads of exp, they'll kill me instantly and I can see that getting frustrating. Thanks for the info, it's helped.

    Should I play on vanilla servers or modded?
    Vanilla:
    Vanilla servers have more player interaction and it is harder to survive but more rewarding. You will die a lot more and will not get nearly as much combat. Finding your friends is way harder in vanilla.
    Modded:
    Most of the modded servers are only KOS and PvP. If you are more in to that, go ahead and play modded servers. Modded servers also have more clothing, guns and more stuff in general and many of them have more players. Surviving is pretty easy since you have proper clothes, food and water when spawning and you can just run to the closest military area and get guns and then head to a trader and get rest of your stuff. Modded is not easy when compared to other games but is way easier than vanilla.

    In a nutshell when you play this game you need to create your own experience. Your decisions when encountering other players can be deadly or a great adventure might develop.
    Rule #1: Don't trust anyone
    Rule #2: Everyone is friendly until they find a weapon
    Rule #3: Never put your guards down, be always aware of your surrounding

    Been playing on and off since the mod. I loved it in the beginning, but hackers made me lose interest. Fast forward a few years, still hackers more content very buggy. Fast forward 3 more years to present, i fell in love all over again. This game is always getting better.

  • @thefalloutshelter4225
    @thefalloutshelter4225 Před 3 lety +4

    A lot of people say that the devs are being lazy and before that might have been true but now the game has only 8 people working on it and I believe that includes social media moderators so for 8 people working on it it’s pretty decent and they come outs with updates on a decent time frame with good size updates every 2 or 3 months

    • @Popmandoop

    Vanilla dayz is fine, the only thing mods really add are a better base building format, most of the guns are just reskins and the only mod that really adds vehicles that are worth is the DayZ Expansion mod

    • @Popmandoop
      @Popmandoop  Před 3 lety +1

      I totally agree now that I've played it more, normal dayz is totally fun and enjoyable. It is just made easy for new players with mods like traders, choosing spawns, and waypoints.

      @Popmandoop  Před 3 lety

      Rust is definitely a much better communal experience. You can find people everywhere you look, whereas dayz is very lonely 90% of the time, but Rust requires more dedication since you can be killed even while offline. In DayZ you can't after a few seconds.

    I like Your review but I disagree with the "mods and vanilla" part
    You see, I spend over 4000 hours in this game and I learned the mechanics by experience. I was waiting for stamina depletion for a long time, cause from realism perspective running with a 100 kg backpack should be different than running naked, and on most modded servers it is NOT!
    I am a big fan of this game, best experience I ever played even though I cannot forgive devs for not programming Improvised Bow back into the game.
    I met a lot of people, two of them I invited to my house.
    I killed even more and I still remember my first kill from Aprill 2014 !
    I like harsh game, first person only, easy to kill and easy to be killed, no infinite stamina and for gods sake no currency in post apocaliptic scenarios !
    Cheers, Im going to hit my fifth thousand hours play time :)

    • @Popmandoop
      @Popmandoop  Před 3 lety +1

      Congrats on the 5000 hours playtime! I totally agree with what you said about the harshness of the game. When I made this review I hadn't had the game long, but as I continued to play the modded server were for sure not as appealing. I'll have to make an updated video next year!

    Mods are by no means a must have in DayZ. I play official 99.9% of the time and its where the game
    shines the most, minus the cheaters ofc. Mods should be used very lightly but when you have mods for unlimited stamina and in game maps with markers and bunch of gay clothes, that’s not DayZ anymore.

      @Popmandoop  Před 3 lety +1

      I think they are pretty different from eachother. Dayz is much more focused on survival than multi-player and base building like rust. My only issue is that I personally think that its overpriced for what it is. I think I would wait for a sale if you want to pick up DayZ, especially if you're unsure.

I get to a military camp and a few zombies beat me up, cause me to loose a lot of blood so my toon passes out and I stayed on top of a pile of sand boxes while I was passed out. Next thing, someone revives me just to shoot me, revives me again and shoots me again... And aside from them being the "Hey, I'm a loser that only plays this game so I'm so bored I only troll other players now with duped items.." I can't totally blame them because overall.. This game is boring.

When I play the game now I play servers with almost no mods the way this game works folks are the endless things that can happen but I will tell you that at first this game is so fun and you can get with a group and just wreck servers but the thing as a guy who has almost mastered the PVP and I am not trying to gloat and say I am just that good like no I mean it the hours I spent practicing and just grinding the fuck out the game I mean I have a 1000 meter shot out of the side of a fucking helicopter while the guy was running full sprint..... yeah I was a fucking no life at this game and I admit that full-heartedly I have wiped full squads of 8 guys by myself I've been labeled a hacker in a number of servers to many to count and yet I still played the game why I am I saying all of this shit well I will tell you why even after all the shit I have done in this game there is still new things that happen in this game to this day after playing for 3 years i still find myself getting after a few months and just enjoying the survival of this game i take a break from this game and come back ever so often and just fall in love with the game all over again i have met players in this game that i have known for 3 years now and i am great friends with them know this game is full of endless outcomes and the devs may miss treat the game but the modding community still supports it more than ever before......
