Arma serisiyle birlikte oyun hayatımıza giren survival oyunların atası olan dayz mod kadar bile başarılı değil ,şuan oyunu yanlış hatırlamıyorsam 2013-2014 yıllarında aldım ve oyun hala bir erken erişim oyunu olarak devam etmekte aynı sorun PUBG oyunundada var oyuncular bundan çok şikayet etmekte fakat survival oyunlara duyulan ilgiden kaynaklandığını sandığım sebebten dolayı oyunun erken erişimdeyken yapımcılarına kazandırdığı paralar zaten yeterli oluyor ve oyunu geliştirmeleri için bir sebeb kalmıyor ayda 1-2 bug giderirler,1-2 silah eklerler tamamdır bizde oynamaya devam ederiz gereksiz bug,optimizasyon sorunları içeriyor hala ve 10 senede geçse tam sürüme geçileceğini sanmıyorum malesef yıllardır gelişmekte olan ülkem gibi bi türlü gelişemiyor amk oyunu 2010 dan beri dayz mod oynuyoruz siktiğim yerinde

Waste of time!

Saints Row... Most would say it's a copy of GTA. But it's much more... weird. That's why it's so awesome.
In SR:TT our gang robbed a bank. But something went wrong, and they got caught by cops they couldnt bribe. It came out that bank they attempted to rob belonged to The Syndicate. After declining "very good" offer from boos of the organisation, they fight they way out from plane (loosking one of characters), and end up in Steelport, broke because of The Syndicate's hackers. They have to build their empire in this city, and kick Syndicate's ♥♥♥. So thats for the background.
Steelport is a big city, so it offers a lot of fun- starting with missions, to regular fight with police, just for fun. At the beggining of the game we create our own character, and only limitation is our imagination. Macho, typical blonde girl, or Conchita Wurst lookalike - up to you. You can further personalise your character, for example by visiting tatoo shops, clothers shops, or plastic surgeon. Anytime you want.
Important thing in a game is your phone. Here you can see the map, call for help from gang mates, buy upgrades and start missions. It's pretty convenient if you ask me.
Upgrades.. by progress in game and leveling up, you unlock more ways to waste your money. Whoops, sorry - making your character invincible to everything can help. Too bad it's available at the end of the game, but still. Making your character faster, mates more effective and ability to call vechicle anytime? I like that!
And vechicles... in game there are 3 types of vechicles- air, ground and water. Air ones get unlocked mostly by story progress, water by purchasing right building, and ground ones... If you steal any of them and go to your garage, you got it. And you can pay for upgrading it. Want red cop car with spikes on the wheels and booster? Sure, why not? Big pink SWAT car? You got this. All up to you. Just to add, flying is much more enjoyable that in GTA. ANY GTA.
Weapons. You get around 7 slots, eeach for diffrent weapon type. Meele, pistol, SMG, shotgun, AR and special. You can pick a weapon of your choice from available guns for that slot. You want Laser Rifle more than AK made into Machine gun? Okay. Sawed-off instead of Laser Shotgun? Okay. Gigant Dildo for katana? Sure. Most of them can be upgraded, so Deagle can fire explosive rounds, Sawed-off can set enemy on fire and so on.
Side missions. There are a few types, from driving your mate around and making business, taking part in deadly reality show, to rampage with a tank. Just for fun. They are requied to take over a district, along with purchasing properties. What for? Fun. And achivements.
To sum up, i cant really think about anything against SR3. Total personallistion of... everything? Check.
Interesting mechanics? Check.
Great story (as excuse to destroy everything) and awesome characters? Big F...ing Check!
Oooh, no wait. There are minuses. Motorbikes (i hated them...). DLCs (so much, paid and requied for geting every achivement possible). But anyway, thoose are just a small problems. Game itself? Awesome!

This is not a review, but I highly recommend this third-person shooter for the following reasons.

1. A great story with balls out action!
2. Solid game-play mechanics.
3. Realistic environments and a wide variety of locations.
4. Movie quality cut scenes, with excellent voice acting and sound.
5. Max Payne is an interesting character.

I bought into DayZ StandAlone last year. For a year I've been trying to participate in and enjoy, that game, and rarely have I walked away pleased. The glitches, hackers and terrible zoombie mechanics left me disappointed too many times to recommend StandAlone.

When I saw Arma 2 Complete go on sale for less than $9 I had serious reservations about giving Bohemia any more of my money, but I really wanted a DayZ experience the devs have promised me dang rabbit!

So, I pulled the trigger and purchased Arma 2 Complete and immediately kissed the rest of the games in my library goodbye!

Set-up wasn't easy, I was plauged by the error messages seen everywhere in the forums by recent puchasers of the same set, but with some patience, determination and a LOT of reading I was able to overcome the BattleEye bugs and, again, with some little annoyances I also got DayZ Commander set up and the Epoch & Overwatch mods installed..now, what about this DayZ mod?

My time is recorded through Arma 2 OA so since purchasing Thursday so I'm closer to 15 hours in and it's been absolutely AMAZING. DayZ Mod was the experience I was hoping SA would bring me and never did. I've had more intense, blood curdling, panic-inducing moments in DayZ Mod than any other game on my steam list.

The Zombie AI, imo, is the best on Steam. Coming from a pretty hefty zombie/survival/open-world gaming list, DZM provides more thrills than 7DTD, The Forest, The Dead Linger etc. The pathfinding is superb, the animations are great, the sounds are excellent. They provide a real atmosphere of tense-horror at just the right time.

The one big issue in SA (out of many, believe me) is the zombies are still broken. The have x-ray vision which stretches miles, can run through a lot of obstacles and are very hard to "lose", imo. The zoms in DZM act exactly like I would expect zombies to act. I can't explain to you the joy I felt when I was crouched in the ditch of a road, night settling over me, with two lumbering Zeds slowly shambling my way having yet still notice me. Staying extremely still, not breathing IRL, I remained crouched as these two denizens of the undead proceeded to ramble past me, mere INCHES from my face, without knwoing I was there. One wrong move or sound from me and I was Zombie Dinner! I've been waiting for that experience for a long time, through a lot of games, and it was a joy to finally see it realized.

Installing DayZ commander and getting at least Epoch and Overwatch working (out of a lot of other intense mods) are almost tantamount to give you the DayZ experience you are looking for. They add so much flavour to the game including trading posts, custom building and crafting (up to massive bases), wandering AI, including Bandits, which add SO much flair to the game, roaming bandits, Aircraft Bandits...truckloads driving from village to village looking for hapless victims to strip them off their gear and sell them at the nearest vendor. The different MODS through Commander add new maps, missions within the game (find an Alpha zombie, kill a scientist for a cure, find a downed plane for it's supplies); plus many servers have their own lore and stories built within the game. Basically you can tailor you Apocalypse scenario any way you want...creating the experience you want.

Graphically I find the MOD looks almost exactly like the SA, and plays very smooth. I have a mid-grade pc and on the server I have picked as my favorite so far I have been getting FPS in the 50's, which is great for my machine (I'm used to 30 FPS for a lot of games), so technically it isn't as demanding as I thought it might be.

If you are turned off by a lot of buttons then DayZ may not be for you. It is very demanding in it's use of the keyboard, utilizing a lot of keystrokes for the experience. If you're new to this structure then allow for extra time in-game to really get a feel of the flow, but once you're used to it there is no denying how satisfying it is being able to use 4 buttons at once to scope out around corners, or scan far off to the North while feverishly running South.

The Gear screen is a little confusing to me still, as I'm still fiddling with how different items work together, and I haven't even begun to touch crafting or building. But running around a few servers with player made creations shows that the system is deep and immersive. There are a lot of clans out there that have spent hundreds of hours building, scavenging for parts and building a community within the game. The nice thing is, especially through DayZ Commander, you can find as casul or hardcore an experience as you wish.

I haven't come across any bugs or glitches in my almost 15 hours of play or so, not that I'm saying it's perfect, but coming from SA to the Mod I was expecting it to be a horrid, buggy mess, so I have been very pleasantly surprised with the fluidity of the game and it's contents.

I have tested in many types of servers, full PVP and PVE, and have been lucky to have picked really incredible community servers, so griefing and KOS'ing (so far) have been a non-issue for me, but I do a lot of research on servers before hopping in. What I did find nice was with the addition of Bandit AI, even in a server that's PVE with no one but me on it, the threat from man is JUST as palpable as the threat from zombies. It's quite a thrill to run into a village looking for supplies and taking out a zombie population with a silenced pistol, freely exploring buildings, and at any moment hearing the sounds of a truck coming around a corner, running to hide in a a building JUST before the headlights light you up, and watch as 5 bandits jump from a truck, fully armed, going from building to building, shooting anything they see. It's exhilarating and challenging, but in no way breaks immersion or the feeling of Apocalyptic Doom.

If you can get this package on sale it's a HUGE bonus. But, to be honest, now that I'm in DayZ Mod and experiencing the thrill of DayZ as I was hoping I would have had over a year ago, the retail asking price of the package is completely worth it. For now, I am am uninstalling my DayZ Standalone, saying a silent prayer for all the games on my list that I won't touch for many months to come, and immersing myself in the Zombie Apocalypse game I have always wanted and now have found. :)

TL:DR; An immersive experience that blows away it's struggling little brother DayZ Standalone. Worth the price (especially on sale), and the finest example of a Zombie Apocalypse game on Steam yet. If you can get past the installation issues and have the patience to get DayZ Coammander up and running, then this game is unparallelled.

Öncelikle merhaba yıllar önce yazdığım incelememde (2011-2012) düzenleme yapıyorum yazım sadece merak edenler içindir ve oyunla alakalı merakı vs. bilgisi olmayanı sıkabilir baştan söyliyeyim.
Bu oyun Steam in, Valve ın kaderini değiştiren oyun olmuştur ve o dönem twitch,youtube da gamer lık vs hiçmi hiç popüler değilken biz bu oyunu facebook etkinlikleri, steam içi çekilişler,sunucu içi etkinlikler ve istanbul,izmir,ankara gibi illerde xkafe buluşmaları vs tarzı buluşmalarla kutlamıştık öyleki 2007-2014 dönemine kadar gidicek olursak Başta yöneticiliğini yaptığım Bilgeoyuncu ve Xkafe,turkogp sonrasında devam eden tf2türkiye,ahpup vb. birçok türk sunucuya ekmek yedirmiştir o dönemler toplamda 35 in üstünde Türk sunucusu varken hepsi full çekiyordu aynı şekilde eski bir trader olarak gelirimi uzun bir süre bu oyundan karşılamıştım çünkü takas sisteminin olduğu ilk steam oyunuydu yani bu oyundan elde ettiğiniz gelirle tüm steam ve steam dışında harcama yapabiliryordunuz o dönem oynuyan oyuncular özellikle benim gibi sayılı olan trader lar nedemek istediğimi çok iyi anlarlar öyleki bu oyundan aylık olarak asgari ücretten fazla kazanıyorduk zamanında, dönemin en aktif sosyal medya kuruluşunda Team Fortress 2 türkiye facebook sayfasında ve yöneticisi olduğumuz sunucunun steam grubunda 8k + kullanıcıya ulaştık (ki şuan en kalabalık türk sunucusu steam grubu 500 kişiden ibaret) her hafta belli başlı steam oyunları çekilişleri,sunucu içi key,hat,unusual hat çekilişleri yaptık sonrasında ise bu takas sisteminin cs go ,dota 2 vb. oyunlara da aktarılması , steam pazar sistemi, steam oyunlarına getirilen bölge satış sınırlaması sonrasında ve gerekli güncellemelerin gelmemesi sonucunda oyun unutulmaya yüz tutmuştur.Bütün bunlara rağmen 6 yıl sonrasında oyuna pandemi döneminde tekrar başladım ve ne eski ortamın ne eski oyuncuların nede eski kazançların olduğunu gördüm bunu okuyan competitive oynayan oyuncular içinde biraz oyundan bahsedeyim oyunu bir süre competitive oyuncusu olarak da oynadım kafa dengi arkadaşlarla 6v6 takımımızı oluşturduk soldier ve medic oynadım daha sonrasında farklı takımlara ve en son dwe. -> default win e-sports ' a girdik takım div 3 oynadı dönemin lig şartları vs . gibi durumları es geçiyorum kendim division 5 e kadar oynamıştım takımdan ayrılıp premier 'e kadar çıkan arkadaşımız oldu o dönem 1 divisonda 50-60+ takım varken şimdi open mid vs. şeklinde azaltmışlar takım azlığından , kaldıki o dönem türk takımları dışındada oynuyan gerçekten yetenekli div 1-2 , premier lig oynamış Türk oyuncularda vardı forza eagle,adiemus,her nekadar kavga etsekde beraber ilk competitive takımımızı kurduğumuz sonrasında ise çok daha iyi yerlere gelen hex (şahin) ve daha adını anamadığım nice oyuncu.Gerçekten çok az oyuncu var burdan o dönem benimle oynuyan oynamayan herkese selam lar güzel zamanlardı sponsorluğunu yaptığımız ve jahrein gibi oyuncuların sunuculuğunu yaptığı bilgeoyuncu pub vs. pro tarzı çok değerli etkinlikler yapmıştık bazıları silinmiş sanırım 1 tanesi hala youtube da var .Oyun hiç bir zaman o güzel o içli dışlı samimi ortamların olduğu dönemlerine erişemeyecek bunun farkındayım fakat gerek güzel arkadaşlıklar edindiğim gerek ekmeğini yediğim bu oyuna tekrar kısa bir süre dönünce oyunda hatrı sayılır emeği geçmiş bir tr oyuncusu olarak bu yazıyı yazma gereği hissettim. Yeni oyunculara iyi şanslar iyi oyunlar dilerim o döneme ait o ortamı tatmış ve hiçbir zaman o eski o samimi ortamı yakalayamayacağının farkında olan oyunculara ise burdan selamlar 2015 te 3,5 k saat oynadıktan sonra bıraktığımda yazdığım yazımda blog ve sayfamızda bahsettiğim gibi gözünü para hırsı bürümemiş başka oyunlarda görüşmek üzere
