I found so many backpacks, a precious item because they can carry so much, and merrily ripped 'em all to shreds.
I'm also fond of raiding cars for scrap metal, and of picking up clothing and bags I don't actually need then reducing it all to cloth scraps - an essential building material - rather than leaving it for someone else. The idea that this would create a bow capable of killing zombies with a single shot to the head is laughable, but wonderful.
Though first - and I do love this - first you'll need to remove your t-shirt and shred it in order to make a string for your bow. There's a major difference between a game which asks you to scavenge and a game which asks you to build too in DayZ my first priority is to find buildings and hope there's a weapon in there, whereas in H1Z1 I head to the nearest shrub, grab some twigs and make a few arrows. The Minecraft element is as big as the DayZ element, and the two go together rather well (not least because Minecraft was doing deadly night-time survival long before DayZ was).
#H1Z1 RECIPE PLUS#
H1Z1 is, I suspect, popular because it's familiarity plus novelty, but also because it's massively successful familiarity paired with more massively successful familiarity. In a funny sort of way, this is where even very rickety Early Access games can excel - a chance to get a handle on one set of challenges, then have a foundation to work from when a whole new bunch of challenges arrive further down the line.
#H1Z1 RECIPE HOW TO#
They all felt so much more special when they weren't yet full of people telling me exactly how to play, when I felt I could just poke at things and figure them out myself. That'll keep happening for a while, as the game updates, and it reminds me of early days in all the online games I've loved and lost - WoW, City of Heroes, Planetside. Working out how to stay alive, how and what to build and, eventually, how to totally dominate a server is a journey of discovery, at least for now. DayZ is an old kid on the block now, even if it is still a work in progress, and H1Z1 comes along doing something similar but with a need to learn new rules. Part of the success is due to it H1Z1 coming from a big company with a big marketing budget (not to mention with direct access to few hundred thousand Planetside 2 players), of course, but even so, maybe it's inadvertently the right game at the right time. So what on Earth is H1Z1 for? And why am I enjoying it even though I really feel as though I shouldn't? Initial reports were negative we've already got DayZ even if we wanted a less hardcore DayZ with more crating, we've got 7 Days To Die already. Why is Sony's unfinished multiplayer zombie survival game H1Z1 ( official site) proving so popular? On paper, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
