DayZ Isn't Really A Game
I think it's a survival simulator. If you play it as a game, it will be extremely dissapointing. It is frankly too unpredictable to throw your sense of accomplishment or confidence into. It's not like Dark Souls. It's not just extremely difficult but possible to "beat." You will never win. You can be the best player on earth, but you will still die to that one freshie across the street while you're filling your canteen. Every life you start WILL end in a death, and if you can't find a way to enjoy the whole ride, then DayZ isn't for you haha. Welcome your black screens with temporary anger followed by a humiliating "damn...that was a good one."
