How actually people have fun with this game? Just curious.

[iMatrix7]

Hi guys,
I don't want to make flame or stuff like that.

I'm actually very disappointed about the Single Player mode of this game, and I really don't like to play on internet.. but seems that you really are enjoying this game.

How do you prefer to play this game? What do you like to do in this game, actually, to have fun?

I'm interested, maybe I just had the bad approach with it?

:)

EDIT: I unsubscribed from this discussion, since it's impossible to try to have a smart discussion here on the Steam forum with some of you. Cheers.

It's really not about the skill, but the approach.

I don't get the point of the SP game.
I kill zombies, then I collect resources, then I kill zombies, then I collect resources. Nothing else to do.

Maybe there is another way to enjoy it? :/

Oh, its about bettering your position or " life ". Build a base, explore the whole map. Try farming or whatever other features the game offers.

Have you played long enough to have the electricity go out ?

Have you been to a really zombie populated area like the mall ?

Have you started using firearms yet ?

Yes, it's fun the first time, but then?
You know where I want to go with my words.. to that feature that devs don't want to implement.

It's not realistic a world where I'm the only human. It would be fun to have other characters, random encounters or events, something that really could change your gameplay every time and keeps you enterteined.

It's since Alpha 13 that I miss this feature, and what I see here, it's a waste of potential.

But you're right, there is a fantastic base for an exceptional survival.. but at this point, why don't improve it with the last step?

I keep to don't understand all this.

PS = Try to imagine DAYZ, and play it OFFLINE.
Do you think it's fun? Probably not, isn't it? And why? ;)

Well, dayz is not a very good example lol. There is not that much zombies, surviving with food and water is sooooooooo easy, way too easy.

But if you play with friends you can have fun !
Also, try to upgrade all your skills to the max level !
Add hydrocraft mod !
If you're an electrician, you can build yourself a solar panel with time and skills ! I never played enough to go there but this is something probably worth to try !
Still with hydrocraft, you can build a lot of more stuff ! (Dont eat food from the mod if you have the nutritionnist traits though, you'll die)

There is a lot to do without NPCs and dynamic events.

You can even try new map !
Try to start a character with sprinter zombie on winter with the helicopter event every week !
Challenge yourself, you will find fun in this game believe me !

Dude, You only have 12.3 hours in this game... I should have checked that before responding.
But take time to enter deep in the survival stuff, you'll have fun !

[LionelCG]

One thing that can add spice to games are mods. Have you tried playing with mods? I am currently exploring all the nice maps that are available plus hydrocraft.

As for a comparison DAYZ´s concept was multiplayer from the beginning. I´d rather compare it to Dwarf Fortress. Another game where the fun lies in the endless ways you defend yourself and get lucky ... or die.

I asked him if hes done the really hard late game stuff and he said " yes ".......

Don´t take that number for set in stone. PZ is a DRM free game, I got only 2,1 hours according to steam, yet that´s only my records for multiplayer. I played SP with steam offline in the past. I can´t talk for the OP though.

I did too, just ignore them.

So to clear things up why dont you list some things youve done in game.
If you want help it'd be nice to know what youve already done.

Any screenshots or videos of epic hoardes ?

What type/location bases have you built ?

Firearms youve used frequently ?

What different maps have you played ?

What settings do you play at ?

You know, brag on yourself : )

Im not trying to argue against you. IM just trying to help you to find fun in this game.
This small game can turn people really addictive (yes im talking about me)
I have almost 200 hours, and i have not even reach 2 month of survival. Im always trying new things, new base, new character, new traits, new survival tactics.
Didn't even tried to take a guns and shoot a lot of zombies (i prefer to play stealthy)
There is a LOT to do in this game, just explore !

[Giltirn]

I don't get why people are so obsessed with multiplayer in everything. Have we lost the ability to enjoy things on our own?

Yes Method, I'm just talking of that, the problem is I've a feeling that something is missing, and I can't have fun enough like you! :(
Isn't the graphic the problem, not even the inventory or the objects, or even the combat system.

There is something missing in the map. Roads are too empty.. :(
