DayZ - Console worth it?
Posted on 4/24/23 at 11:58 am

I recently stumbled across ChocoTaco YouTube vids of him playing DayZ and they are so entertaining! I know the streamers are playing on PC, but saw there's a console version. Does anyone play? Is it worth it on Xbox or is it just so much more difficult than it looks? I'm a casual game player and haven't played anything since COD during the Covid lockdown days, but this game makes me want to set up my Xbox again.

It is a free to play game. Unless you're willing to invest a bit into microtransactions expect to have a pretty shitty time getting destroyed by those who do.

I think that game could have been the greatest game of all time if it ran to perfection and they achieved their end goal.

I play on PS5.
The last hotfix...I think it was 1.49 or 1.51 maybe?...created a terrible problem driving vehicles. The game will randomly freeze anywhere from a few seconds to upwards of 5 minutes, resulting in crashing the vehicle, destroying it and sometimes killing you. My understanding is they changed something with how objects and zeds are rendered/spawned in and it's causing massive hard freezes traveling quickly. I've even froze a couple times while sprinting in Vybor (big town, lots of zeds and buildings). When I unfroze, I was unconscious from zeds smacking me while I was frozen helpless.
Everything else is really great. Just either don't use vehicles or drive them painfully slow and get killed by other players as you cruise at 15 kph. On foot, stop a bit before going into a big town or city and let the game spawn stuff in, then go loot.
ETA: problem also exists on XBox, but not sure it's as bad.

I have tried playing it a few times on the Xbox and have not had great experiences. Maybe I'm just joining the wrong servers, but I had played at least 5 times for 30mins to an hour each time and have run into one other person. I can never find any useful items even after going through tons of buildings and even a huge apartment complex, I always die from running into to many zombies without any weapons or starvation. Maybe I need to look at a few guides.

I have been playing on PS5.
Used to play a lot on PC but my rig just needs an upgrading. A guy I used to play the game with sold a GPU from under my feet. He was a real dick and a terrible dayz player…so probably for the best.
He once made a terrible call out in the NW Airfield and it caused me to run off a building and die in what was going to be my crowing Dayz moment. Instead he posted the clip to YouTube and now I look like a fool.
Anyways. I could go on for dayz about stories of this fool but It’s like a bat signal to him. He would just come in the thread and drop a single laughing smile face and then roll out.
Anyways…back to playing on the PS5.
Not bad. Been trying to kill off my character for like a week now and this fricker won’t die. Cross an open airfield..don’t care. Eat dog food..don’t care. Run through towns beating zombies to death with a bat…don’t care.
Controller looting isn’t thaaaatttt bad. Fire fights…different story. I suspect anyone playing on PC will have a significant advantage.

Bumping this because I finally got around to playing it. It's so boring if you don't have a friend to play with. I must have ran around the map for hours and never ran into anyone except for one person who didn't have a mic and ran away. Ended up dying of hunger eventually. Twas a good run. Loot is very scarce and food is hard to come by unless you find a large animal. Also the aiming mechanics on Xbox are impossible. Couldn't imagine how I would do if I got into a real PvP.
Anyway, willing to give it a shot if anyone on here wants to team up. Otherwise I'll stick to watching the pros play online and enjoying their storylines.
