Hey guys, ive been watching dayZ on liriks stream the past few months and i like the way it is a bit of a role play. H1Z1 just came out and people say its the DayZ killer. Anyone have reviews on both games?? which one to start?

i have a cs go background :concentrate:

[twitchyzero]

neither
dayz will forever rot in alpha development stage because the creator left the company
h1z1 is pay to win

[Verdasco]

not going to lie, watching various dayZ streams on twitch (mostly sacriel and lirik's) its buggy as fuck and when you DC, they just leave to another game

[Jayboogz]

Check out dying light. More story to it compared to the two games mentioned.

[nsmb]

none, both trash... or wait for h1z1 to be free

neither

so this means no day z for playstation?

le sigh.

I'm going to hop on DayZ and play a little.

Will spend 2hrs looking for clothes and food and then get KOS.

Then I'll wonder why I ever bothered and log off.

Good times.

both are different in their own right. and both are top notch games.

I never played DayZ before but from the few hours I've played H1Z1 with friends it's been really fun.

Daybreak's Statement:

Dear Players, Partners & Friends,

Last week we announced that we were acquired and are now operating independently as Daybreak Game Company. To better position our newly independent studio for future growth opportunities and to deliver on our legacy of making top online games, we have had to make some tough choices including realignment of resources.

Unfortunately, this realignment means adjusting staffing as well. We announced today that we will eliminate positions in our San Diego and Austin studios. We deeply value our employees and never take these decisions lightly so we’ve done our best to do what’s right for the people affected. Although extremely difficult, these are necessary actions that will ultimately drive improved results and help strengthen our company’s foundation for success. Many of us are saying goodbye to close friends and colleagues who we’ve worked with over the years, and we are grateful for the memories and all that they’ve contributed. They will be greatly missed, and we wish them nothing but the best for the future.

These reductions will not affect the operation of our current games and as mentioned above, will help better position our company for future success. As we move forward, we are committed to delivering the best online games and working side-by-side with our players to drive the future of our online games.

Thank you for your continued support, The Daybreak Games Team

Hard to argue against H1Z1 being the choice once it's free

Did/Does anyone play Planetside 2? How is that for a FTP game?

[dub.g]

^pretty awesome.. iv put in like 70 hours into it since october

it works and plays like battlefield but on a much bigger scale.. didnt think id waste money on ftp but iv spent $15 total on the medic class for gears and weapons.. u can rely on earning credits in game and unlocking them but it does take forever

u can see like 200 or so players battle it out on landscape

Have over 600+ hours on it.
Great game!

You really have to roll with a squad/platoon to get the most fun out of the game.
Most of the time you be just zerging camps and out numbering the enemies.
But once in a while you get these crazy 100 vs 100 battles which is quite awesome !!
