DayZ

bought game. was offered tomatoes from a man with a gun, picked a tomato he shot me in the back. 3k hours later still hunting this man.

if you see this man tell him i'm looking for him

This game is fun but not like minecraft fun more like shoving glass shards in your ass and having a bath in tobasco sause fun

Best survival game, would be awesome to see some improvements to base building and the anticheat, the cheater problem can really suck at times :(

Amazing game, i spawned found a friend, drank water and ate with him. then i offered him a helmet and he didn't accept it. so i beat the shit out of him took his gun and shot him in the head.... i miss my friend.

Wake up in a field, no clue where I am.
Hear distant gunfire, decide to run the other way.
Spot a guy cooking steak over a fire, he offers me a piece.
We bond over our shared love of survival and hatred for zombies.
Ten minutes later, he “accidentally” shoots me while showing off his new rifle.
He panics and promises to fix me up.
Pass out.
Wake up, no steak, no friend, just betrayal.
11/10, trust no one.

I thought I'd be chilling in the wilderness, making a fire, cooking beans and maybe chatting up the occasional survivor. Yeah no. About five minutes in I'm crouched in a pitch-black building holding a knife like it's Excalibur while some zombie horde claw at the door like I owe them money.

The scenery? Beautiful. The atmosphere? Immersive. The game? Pure panic disguised as survival. I love it and hate it in equal measure - half the time I'm sneaking around like a terrified racoon jumping at every twig snap, the other half I'm jumped by other players and wondering why I thought I'd make it out alive.

So here's the catch: don't get attached to anything. Not your character, not your stuff or the friendly stranger you split beans with. Honestly, I've learned to say goodbye the moment I spawn.

DayZ isn't just a game, it's a mirror.
A slow, brutal unraveling of what you're willing to do to survive.
There’s no music, no hand-holding, no comfort here. Just cold winds, empty stomachs, and a loaded gun with one bullet left; and someone coming down the road who says, “Hey man, I’m friendly.”
They’re not.
The world of DayZ is beautifully dead. The visuals are stunning, the kind of quiet apocalypse that tricks you into thinking you’re safe. But nothing here is safe. The most dangerous thing in this game isn’t the infected or the hunger. It’s other people.
You’ll learn the hard way. We all do.
You meet someone. You talk. You bond. Maybe even help each other.
Then one day, they shoot you in the back for a can of peaches.
Not because they needed to. But because they could.
That’s what makes DayZ so terrifyingly real.
It’s not just survival of the fittest, it’s survival of the coldest.
This game teaches you lessons no tutorial ever could:
Don’t trust strangers.
Keep your back to the wall.
Kindness gets you killed.
And still, you keep coming back. Because somehow, in all the paranoia and silence, DayZ feels real. The weight of every choice, every betrayal, every heartbeat; it stays with you long after you log off.
If you're looking for a game that tests your humanity, welcome to the end of the world.
DayZ doesn’t care who you are. Only who you become.
Edit: Thank you soso much for all the thumbs ups and awards! People who are saying I know nothing about the game.. FYI I have over 200 hours on DayZ across both of my accounts!
