@@Thinking-Biblically lol 😘

DayZ is one of those games that's both enjoyable to play (you should try) and especially enjoyable to watch being played. If you've never played DayZ.... well, you're missing out, and, you might not realize that this is technically the "second DayZ", there was a game called (still played) Arma 2 in which there was a mod for it made called DayZ Mod, it was wildly popular, millions of players, the rights to it were bought out from the company (Bohemia Interactive) that made Arma and they decided to make a standalone game out of the Mod, called DayZ Standalone (standalone namesake has been dropped), and that's what you're watching now, DayZ SA. There were also other mods for Arma 2 that took the DayZ thought further, notable mentions would be DayZ Epoch Mod, and the best to ever be created, DayZ Origins Mod (Epoch was then developed further into Arma 3, and Origins is currently being made into it's own standalone game by the same guy who made the mod for Arma 2)....I mention this because you can also look up YT gameplay videos on them too and see the evolution (or devolution lol) of DayZ.

@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 Thank you for all the background! I'm not much of a FPS player, but I will have to try it some time soon!

@@matti551 DayZ isn't categorized as a FPS, it's pioneered the Open World Survival genre and "Looter Shooter". Usually (not always) there's both FPP and 3rd person perspective available (Paul likes FPP and that's why you typically never see 3rd person on his channel). There are thousands of different servers you can play on DayZ, everything from plain vanilla DayZ, to RP servers, Stalker based ones(the game series), heavily modded ones with traders and custom weapons, base building additions, everything. It's an open ended, open world survival game, you can do whatever you want. Oh, and plenty of different maps to choose to play on, Chernarus Plus and Livonia being the only "vanilla" maps, this one here showcased is called Deer Island, a custom map made by one guy in his spare time, one of the best, but there are dozens of different ones in different climates (Deer Island actually includes different climates/biomes in one map, only one to do so I believe to this extent )....most maps have different "climates" depending on where you are on the map, the weather at that time, and your altitude, the time of year currently in game (yes it changes), and time of day.

@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 That's really interesting! I wasn't aware. Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the different server types. I didn't even know it had a 3rd person view option. Cheers!

@@matti551 you can also just be a roleplayer you arent subjected to pvp

you'll get over the gear fear after a while. just gotta learn from each death and adjust the way you play to expand your lifetime

Do not succumb to the GEAR FEAR enjoy and have fun is all you need💚

That is the way it is in any war zone and make no mistake this game is a war zone.

I'm retired so I have the time but not the ability. Therefore it's TRMZ for me.

also, never feel bad about KOSing on this game. feels like people have made you want to justify your behaviour; just play however you want on any given day, that's the best part of the game!

Sad

I'm sorry man, my friend had the same problem. He stopped playing as well and i felt bad. Hopefully you find joy again man!

Like a zebra salmon bird

Likewise.

Killing a new friend out of the blue does not sit well with me but other than that he is my goto DAYZ video creator.

I know him too well. I called BS on that statement.
