Anyone playing this? Hearing good things. Its a zombie type game set in Russia (and how I hate zombie games).

The twist in it all is its about true survival. dead means dead and you start again....no progress, no saved items or rank, you start over again. You don't just have to worry about zombies but also other players on the server, they can shoot you and take your loot. (lots of that going on. At the same time you can work together and go as a team to survive. stronger together than apart.

The second twist is that it is all in real time. walk a mile in the game = walk a mile in real life. so distance = real distance. also things like if you are on a server and that timezone is night, then the game is in night etc etc. A really interesting concept. I can see how it would have the potential to be frustrating but none the less interesting

the heat, hunger, thirst, light, sound etc etc etc etc etc all play a part. really has caught my attention

anyone playing and shed some light on whether to buy this or not?

This game sounds very much like 7 days to Die which Gadget, Dan, Lynn and a bunch of others in teamspeak are playing. I was gifted a copy of it and thought it was a good idea but certain things about it, Such as having to craft your own weapons etc put me off it.

ran around in it briefly when it was still early release. never ran into anything or another player whole time i was in there, but again it was tech unfinished and constantly being updated.

yeah from what I have seen unless you are on with mate then everyone else is going to shoot you and steal all your stuff. They took off family sharing on steam for this game also due to the sheer number of people cheating.

I played a cracked version and have to say the game was not impressive, great idea but I would say out dated despite some nice touches

H1Z1 is "free" when complete.
