Im looking into DayZ. It looks cool. Should I buy it?
Not really worth it. It gets repetitive really fast and there is no goal to work towards. I would rather buy Arma 2: Combined Operations, if I were you. You could have DayZ Overpochins with it, which is a combination of Epoch and Origins and sometimes a map called Taviana.
No, the developer is a scam artist, and its a terrible buggy game.
Do you like extremly clunky, broken games that will run with 20fps on a titan Z? Do you like promises from the devs that never come true? Do you like beeing killed by a zombie in the floor in a zombiegame where zombies spawn and despawn 20 meters ahead of you? If so, DayZ is the game for you (i bought the first alpha they brought out, it hasn't even become as "stable" and well performing as the mod...)
Just play the mod
No
I regret buying it. I wouldn't buy it again. The mod was fun, the game in the beginning also, but I got over it too fast. I have less than 30 hours of playtime. There is a huge problem with cheaters. If you see people, most likely they will try to kill you. It's just not fun.
Don´t buy it. I bought one for myself and my brother. I played a lot of it, but the game is just horrible and after the last update it runs only 20 fps even on minimum settings.
Buy the ARMA 3 on sale for around 30 $ and I´m sure there are some mods for it...
little to no development
I understand if people don't like it because of its poor quality (glitches bugs and stuff) but you're just making stuff up.

I bought it. I enjoy playing it. Yeah its buggy and glitchy as hell sometimes but it doesn't bother me, I got more fun out of it then frustration.
If you are looking for a complete game, don't get it. But id say its a fun survival game, survival agenst the zombies and their shenanigans, players, and bugs. Hopefully eventually they will finish it and it'll be all that it wanted to be.
No
I bought the game 2 years ago, it was a horrible buggy mess. I loaded it up a few weeks ago, it was still a buggy mess. In 2 years they have not managed to fix some the major issues with game. if you can put up with the shenanigans of the title then it can be fun especially with friends over skype. However if you are looking for something complete and "just works" then i cannot recommend the game
I have over 117 hours and I bought it as soon as it was released. I had a lot of fun playing it, since I used to play it with a lot of friends and a lot of people where playing that game at the time. Nowadays I don't see that much people playing it and a lot of the servers are empty. The main reason I enjoyed the game was the excitement I got from the moment I encountered any another player since you don't know if you can really trust them. Since the game does not have the same population as before I would not recommend it because the only thing you will encounter now are some buggy zombies that can teleport, trespass walls or hit you from bellow the ground.
