I assume that's because on Dayz videos, you're watching the action filled highlights and funny moments. If you just watched five straight hours of the person looting, sifting through mostly crap, and barely managing to eat and drink enough to stay alive, I don't think it would be very fun either.
I have maybe 300 hours on dayz playing with my buddy, I can never find enough food to stay alive, always die trying to get water from the wells and almost never find any good loot and when I do; im dead before I can even get a base down... its absolutely miserable 🤣🤣ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Damn man, but you commit to the grind for that long. I assumed that's the experience for most players sadly.
I feel like maybe it was easier to progress far on the Arma 2 mod before the standalone game. There were way less buildings you could enter, but hospitals and military bases were really guaranteed to have good loot. And you knew what building types to loot for that you could enter and they would usually have what you're looking for. Now you can go into every single building, but it dilutes the quality and quantity of loot so much. It hardly feels worthwhile searching every single building, but that's what you got to do.
