I played the first one last year and it was interesting for sure. One day I met up with this group of new players and we decided to stick together. I had been playing for several days up to that point so I knew a few things like how to make fire and I taught them how to do it and they said they would keep an eye out for medicine for me because I had cholera. We did okay for a while but sadly all of us ended up dying one by one by the time night time rolled around. One guy went crazy and attacked us and we had to take him out, another guy left on his own and another was killed by a zombie. After that it was just me and one other guy and he starved to death and then my character died of cholera. Sucks lol.

I think I would like the game more if there was a way to complete it, like maybe if you survive for a week or two then you can get rescued or something. It's hard for me to get into it when the only purpose is to just survive as long as possible.

one of the most amazing, nerve racking, perpetually janky games ive ever played (pre-standlone ARMA mod version)

• took forever (sometimes over an hour) to find a server where you and a friend could both join successfully
• servers were always laggy
• highly variable 15-60fps
• zombies would abruptly switch between running and walking all over the place, could teleport a bit, and would have delayed responses to being shot
• jank zombies + laggy server + uneven performance + ARMA ballistics = good luck hitting things
• felt like gun shots could attract zombies from miles away

basically everything was fighting you... resources were so scarce, forcing you to explore... persistent inventory felt so cool...
love you dayz
