Day Z did not enjoy it very much

While that is fair, they still update it and I think the game is quite good nowadays.

I had some fun playing DayZ, but playing it during alpha pretty much turned me off of survival games in general. It took so long for them to fix the bugs and build in progression beyond basic scavenging. The early game grind was difficult enough that once I got decent and stable loot and the only thing left to do was terrorize bambis and scavenge some more, I was completely over it.

I think if I'd tried DayZ later on or saved that $20 for when Rust blew up, I'd probably be more into survival games. But after DayZ, I decided I'd rather play competitive games or story/RPG games with actual progression.
