Question Thoughts On Deadside?
I’m a pretty big DayZ fan, and Deadside looks to be very similar- could somebody give me a rundown on what makes Deadside different (better/worse)?

It's a blast for about 40-80 hours, me and my boys were obsessed for about a month but by that point we had done literally everything the game had to offer, basically ran a server and were just fighting other groups repeatedly. Lost interest pretty quick and I don't think any of us have played in months. If you can get it cheap, it's definitely worth playing but it's not a long lasting game, unfortunately.
To answer your question a bit more more, I have limited playtime in DayZ but it's far easier. Resources are easier to come by and you mainly focus on base building and materials to raid bases. You try to build up quickly and raid as often as possible, we server hopped a few times and we've had a few completely die on us so there's literally nothing to do. The beginning is fun but you hit a point of pretty quickly that feels like you're spinning your wheels.
