re: DayZ - Console worth it?

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.

It really depends on the server and what you want out of it. That's what I enjoy about it. DayZ can be anything.
On official servers, it's almost always going to be a solo grind experience unless you already have a friend going in. If it's a pretty populated server, you're going to die over and over. Loot is more scarce and if you do manage to get semi-geared, someone's going to kill you and you're back to square one. This kind of play style is for the it's-the-journey-not-the-destination crowd. You cannot play with gear fear because you will play too passively and it'll get boring.
I jumped in an official the other day, got lucky with some decent gear and got to Dolina on my way to Gorka. A dude ran in front of me in the woods, didn't see me. I squat behind a tree and watched. He was putting stuff in his hidden stash. I called out as his buddy arrived with "friendly friendly". We chatted. One dude was from Jacksonville, seemed nice. Other wasn't talkative. I offered to move on and go my own way. I could have capped them both, but didn't. As we said goodbye, his buddy started shooting me. Knocked me uncon. When I woke, the Florida dude was yelling "why? why?" and i was like "really, man?" Shot me again and I'm on the coast, 3 hours of work toast all because I tried being friendly.
But I loved it happened. That's how it goes. Got a funny story of semi-betrayal and a lesson learned. I found them yesterday and sniped the ahole with a mosin. Surrendered to the FL dude who apologized for his pal killing me. I said no prob, suicicded so he could take my loot and started over. He knew his friend deserved a trip to the coast.
Community servers come in all flavors. Some are strictly PVE only...good to get used to mechanics of the game. Some are a combination of PVP/E with extra loot, vehicles, less harsh weather, more/less zombies, emphasis on base building, etc. Just gotta find what you're looking for.
My advice: join populated servers. Yep, you'll die a lot. You'll also learn more much faster than jerking around an empty server for weeks. I'd rather die 100 times than stay alive for 2 weeks on a dead, easy-mode server.
I'm on PS, otherwise you could join me and my buds. We play all styles of servers.
