I have seen some bad reviews on DayZ , so I decided to give my two cents on such matter !
DayZ is still on alpha after 2 years, and some people don't like it, well, KSP is still on beta after 2 years and people don't mind, and I'll tell you why, it's not a survival game, there is little to no stress and there are a lot of mods for you to try out and get your head out of the time the game has been on beta, but lets keep our mind on survival for it is the key word, we are far from those glorious times where you had 2 AK's wih mags on Vybor, and that's the point, this is a survival game, it's supposed to be hard, to make you search like hell for food over guns.
So yeah, trade more, kill less or at least kill only when necessary, a thing that didn't happened early on due to gun and ammo excess, I guess people are having a hard time changing their gaming mentality.
Furthermore this is still Alpha, yeah yeah, 2 years and still Alpha, why you so slow Bohemia Interactive, Sony has H1Z1 yada yada rage, calm down folks, they are building a game engine, H1 already uses Planetside 2 engine, enjoy the ups and downs of making a game with DayZ, the last updates have improved the game, at least as I see it, graphics are better, the game is lighter to run, zombies are easier to avoid, at least they don't agro from the other side of the map anymore, they don't cross walls anymore ( yes zombies you are not ghosts ).
There are a lot more RP servers, so if you are frustrated with KOS, join one, just remember that every game has hackers and crappy players, but not all games keep an eye to its community and what they have to say, if they did Dawngate would still be alive ( EA stop killing games pleaserino).
So DayZ isn't perfect, they did give a 4 year to final release warning, enjoy the flaws, find creative ways to use them, meet people, survive in hardcore mode, go to forums or tag the makers of the game with your ideas.
