For those of you that don't know, H1z1 is a Dayz clone created by Sony Online Entertainment. It's 20 dollars for the base game and you can spend another 20 and get extra items like air drops and crates/keys.

I may pick up a copy and try it out. My friend got it yesterday when it was released on steam and says it's pretty much Dayz but a little better. I love the concept of survival zombie games and am hoping this one is more fun than the others, like Dayz and War Z aka Infestation. And a side note, despite the bad ratings for Infestation, it's actually more fun to play with friends online than Dayz. You can find each other and there are safe zones where players can't attack one another.
 
Definitely going to check this out. I been debating whether to buy Day Z but I'm gonna see this game as well.
 
Seems like theres an issue with the airdrop how it contains guns, ammo, food, backpack and that it spawns on top of you lol XD Gonna wait for some better reviews but I just the stream for about 10min seems like a fun game.

Sooooo when are you gifting me a copy? ;)
 
I will clearly state this game is functionally in worse shape then Dayz. It has far better 3D engine, textures and world design, but so much of the game seems hacked together with little thought on how well it works; inventory space is so limited you can not gather much which makes it difficult to hold gathered items to actually build anything. PVP is so screwed up I was getting head shot from quite a ways off from arrows and that is an instant death. Pretty absurd since you lose all your gathered materials. Animal AI is so bad I snuck up on a deer and hacked it to death with an axe... Did the same to a crow but only got sinew from that, it is damned hard to get enough resources to not be hungry and thirsty all the time. I wish I had my twenty bucks back...

The only thing you can really hope for is that this game is actually updated frequently to fix the problems quickly rather than let it go for months on end of complete bs like dayz. And what the fuck is up with Animal AI in recent games? Rust has those same issues of them just sitting still while you kill it. hah

The only saving grace here is that it IS backed by Sony. For all their faults they at least keep a development cycle going well past a games shelf live, ala Everquest. The AI is just absurd, games ten years ago had better pathing and enemy AI, H1Z1, not so much. The first time in the game I spent about two hours just trying to get a feel for the game, and saw one zombie the whole time. Later that night I log in and stumble upon a larger industrial complex and it is crawling with zombies. It was here I realized how shitty the AI is, zombie will follow and track you, about fifty percent of the time. The rest of the time they just amble about an area, occasionally running off in one direction or another and usually not for you.
