I may be jumping the gun on this one, mainly because the game is still in Alpha stages (but its been here for over 2 years now); I'm quite disappointed with Day Z. What I thought was a cool premise 2 years ago has already been done, and even done better by other survival horror titles at this point, and the whole post apocalyptic zombie situation is getting old to me. By the time Day Z is finally released I think the whole Zombie phase will be over and done with, unless they really add some remarkable content to make the game fresh and exciting.
Plus the game just feels clunky and seems to be poorly optimized despite its lack luster graphics. I was hoping for vast improvements in Day Z when I first purchased it, but now 2 years later, it still seems like it has a long road ahead of it. I'd much rather play The Forest instead.
I totally agree with you on this one! I check back every so often to see how things are going but I never see much improvement/changes. I regret this purchase, I just play Rust now instead.
