A+++ The most fun I have had in a video game in a very long time. The immersion, graphics, story, freedom play, etc. Can't wait for more. Only had a few technical issues, but nothing unusual for a game of such scale and depth so early in release. If you are on the fence and have a decent computer buy it. I play on laptop i7 with 4070 32 Gig RAM 1080p max high fps. Enjoy the adventure! Don't listen to the haters. Just make sure you don't have any open side missions before you do SIRCAA mission.

After 600+ hours of playing official servers I would say this game is nothing but a waste of time. Don't be fooled into thinking it is a survival game. Rather it is just another first person/third person shooter disguised as such. If you want that type of genre there are much better games for it.

Every new life you spend a week or two gearing up. You eventually lose it all in instant uneventful way. Instant deaths with no chance to react are most common. You don't even get to know who killed you. Everything you build or hide will eventually disappear when you log out. The zombies and wild life are not a challenge and have the most basic predictable AI. The player base is 99% toxic KOS and many use cheat programs. The maps are generic with the same copy pasted assets everywhere you go.

No matter how many different ways I tried to enjoy the game in the end I was left with an empty feeling of disappointment. Why did I let myself play this game for so long?

Please learn from my mistake and avoid DayZ.

Simply put, they scammed me. Avoid this game and save your money unless you want to be hustled. They are suspending/resetting/banning innocent legit online players for no reason.
