Well, DayZ (the Arma 2 mod or the subsequent game release) is a post-apocalyptic, open world zombie survival game.

I think that's Rust, actually.

Your'e probably right Chozon1 but ive never played a version of that. but I will probably get it. So then DayZ isn't like Rust?

I haven't played either, but from what I've seen, Rust is a survival/building sim, with a focus on building and creating in the face of evil creatures, whereas DayZ is a standard "survive in the apocalypse" thingum.

I could be wrong though.

That sounds correct, there's no building in DayZ Standalone (and I think the mod only had some very basic trap-setting), only scavenging and player interaction. I bought DayZ a while ago and have had some fun with it, but I think I kind of want to wait until some more basic functionality is complete before I sink a lot of time into it (maybe I'll at least wait until zombies can't clip through walls anymore).

(I hear Rust has no zombies anymore, which is a point in its favor =P).

Ya rust zombie are gone at least by 50%(I don't have it but I read the updates because I will get it)

Is it just me or is DayZ the oldest new game on the block?

IMO the DayZ (Standalone) went down hill super fast. People were talking about it being a flop back in January. Now in July, with only minor(if any) updates to the game - I don't feel its ever coming back! Please prove me wrong DayZ.

Oh, and "Is it just me or is DayZ the oldest new game on the block?".

It's not just you, I fully agree.

Well I got all the stuff you NEED: food, water, weapons, clothing, and a Bible. So at that point I just quit... I did kill somebody before I stopped.
