DayZ Standalone

[stormlord]

This is a review of zombie MMO's in the past 5 years and I find it a refreshing read:
http://www.dayztv.com/news/2014/07/d...st-7-days-die/

Now the context of the review is DayZ is best because it's DayzTV afterall, but that's not how I read it. What I see going on is there're a number of zombi MMO's to play:
1) The original DayZ mod for Arma 2 (semi-mmo)
2) WarZ (this one is dead?)
3) 7 Days To Die
4) Rust
5) DayZ STandalone
6) H1Z1

What this means is everybody should fine somethign to play. H1Z1 might be the next WoW for zombie games, but that doesn't mean it's the best for everyone. As many of you might well know, the dominance of WoW in the marketplace doesn't mean we all play it or want to play it. WoW primarily succeeds on its casual "mainstreaming" features and the resulting huge investments of money which allows for top tier content makers and other talent to be bought and kept solidly. Not everybody wants more casual features and also many of us play something because that's what we play and love - for too many reasons to list. And more investment into a game doesn't necessarily mean less buggy. There're many indie (read: small company) games which're stable.

My hope is everybody finds their cup of tea and refrains from telling others what to play.

The commenter at the top of the link above, says it better than me:

sovietshark - I would like to call attention to this… Of course this site is saying that Dayz standalone is king I mean it is dayztv.com. with that being said comparing 7 days to die to Dayz is only comparable because they have zombies, both games have completely different play styles and different objectives. 7 days to die is more of a survival building minecraft and Dayz is a more simulation type game. They have mechanics far from each other that different types of consumer bases support. Having all of these games all I think you could compare is Dayz and h1z1 (obviously I don’t have it) and maybe the warz. However rust offers a different type of gameplay than Dayz along with 7 days to die and warz. None of these games are truly comparable as they have different mechanics focused on different demographics. I love Dayz as much as the next but honestly please quit being fanboys and saying it’s so supreme. I also love 7 days to die and rust and Dayz because they all provide that different experience.
