Yeah I forgot about it, I only think of Warzone now when I think of COD.

PES has been the superior game for a while now in terms or gameplay and actually feeling like it's trying to simulate playing the sport so I'm more hoping the new engine doesn't ruin that side of things. If the game play goes backwards I'll be hanging up my boots 😁

Meanwhile PES, now rebranded as Efootball is going free to play, which is hilarious. Will we have to purchase players I wonder? 😁 Also on a new engine, a dedicated unreal engine I believe. No word on game modes.

Loadsamoney😉 Having tried VR racing I'd probably go for that if I had the urge.

It's certainly interesting to see Tom Clancy as a generic prefix now rather than a style of gameplay.

It's free to play so no doubt it'll do well if the shooting and movement is good enough.

I put mine up slightly before yours, but yours has writing and stuff so I'll delete my one. Talk about 'snap" 😁

One to keep an eye on. Plus, dinosaurs🙂

My advice is to never say anything complimentary about the Arse, no good comes of it 😁 Mind you, I am a fan of Maddison so I hope he's injured a lot if he signs for them😉 I'm trying to stay away from NewsNow as most of it is fantasy and just annoying click bait. Especially around Kane. But anyway i saw Scarlett score against Leyton the other day and hope he continues to show he's going to be another good 'un.

I always forget what a lot of the buttons do but I'll probably have to re-learn a lot of the crafting mechanics 🙂

No auto turrets in DayZ, that's more Rust and its crazy nonstop pvp. DayZ is a bit more focused on the survival mechanics, which I admit can include human interaction. And it is the fear that human interaction can elicit that kind of makes DayZ what it is. Is this player friendly or will they kill me on sight, or just rob me? Eating and drinking is a big thing, as is staying clear of cholera and zed infections. You can craft most of what you need to, so it's also possible just to live in the forests too without need of going to a town. So you get an idea of how I approach DayZ I'll set out how I tend to play. Spawn a new character at the coast. Find my way to a town initially to loot food and equipment. And weapons. Head into the map, looting farm buildings etc as I go Look for abandoned military camp to pick up better weapons. Establish a base, usually hiding it as best I can. Make the base a home. All of this while avoiding zeds, bears, wolves and humans. Can also find parts to to repair cars and trucks to travel around in. Go to the airfields to find a helicopter and interactions here tend to be of the murderous nature. The type of server will often determine a lot of your experience. Some are friendly, some are specifically pvp kos, some are role play where there are rules about killing and robbing etc Some servers make you start with gear, some equip you with nothing. The best map to start on is Chernarus or these days the modded Chernarusplus. I had a brief meet up with @TurboR56Mini but he had to run off so nice to have you on board too 🙂

Happy birthday guys 🤗

Another day, same old, same old.

Also, I've switched server as the Hero's server is having ping issues. Trying out Sunnydale now, server #4, ChernarusPlus.

Indeed, DayZ is responsible for a lot of things 😅😍 In 2012 the dayz mod of arma 2 had a really nice forum with some cool characters, one of whom was the pied piper of diddums 🙂

It was good to briefly meet, I'll leave it at that. First zed kill and first death 🥳 I'll look for other servers as the Hero's one seems a bit janky.

I rarely play on Livonia map personally. The thing with DayZ is the mods, the next best map after Chernarus is Namalsk which is a winter map, and free as its a mod. If you guys wanna chat about it let me know and I'll jump on Discord

Also

@GazzaGarratt made an epic base on our last dayz adventures 😉

DayZ is in some way the daddy of modern survival games and is also responsible for PUBG and those types of games etc. It's also the reason why I have a PC. It has multiple personalities and people either play it for the survival side of the game, the PVP side of the game, or a mixture of the two, where I sit. It has all the survival mechanics, the need to find and eat food, drink water, stay warm, base build, catch disease, avoid zombies and then on the other end, find military weapons and fly helicopters 🙂 It's a bit expensive on Steam at the moment but goes on sale a lot so watch out for it! If you guys get into DayZ that would be pretty cool 🙂

Just found out you can choose your spawn location so looks like we're set 🙂

I've picked the Hero's Haven server to try out on Tuesday, and I'm checking it out tonight in advance. For info: We'll do this using the DayZ Standalone launcher. DZSALauncher - An easy to use launcher for DayZ Standalone DAYZSALAUNCHER.COM Type Hero's Haven into the filter. They have a few servers. Select the US server and click on Play. It'll tell you you have mods missing and ask if you would like to install them. Then let it update. There's a bunch of mods needed which are fairly small and only one big one, which is 1.5gb. If you have chance before Tuesday, pop on and head towards Elektro if you can.
