DayZ vs Mavericks: Proving Grounds
DayZ
DayZ is a survival-themed, first person MMO game set in a post-apocalyptic world that's utterly devastated by a virulent disease. The game provides players with a beautiful yet dangerous map of Chernarus, a post soviet state to explore and to scavenge for whatever resources - as sparse as they may be - that you can find. Craft a wide variety of useful items or use the materials you have to improve or customize the equipment and weapons you already have... literally every item in this game can be upgraded. You can customize the look of your survivor with a wide variety of clothing too.Previously a mod for the game, Arma III, DayZ had come a long way to now being a standalone game. Unfortunately, the game is famous for its player-breaking bugs and glitches, and well, this is pretty understandable considering that the game's still in its early access phase. Due to this, even the most hardcore proponents of this game, the ones who has put in hundreds of hours into this game, will advise you to not get this game unless you truly want to help out with the game's development. If not, the game is more frustrating than it is fun, as exciting as the concept of the game may be, and we would not recommend you to get this game in its current state.
Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Mavericks: Proving Grounds is an ambitious, 400-player battle royale game that includes some form of virtual world game elements to make it more social. What do we mean by that? Well, basically, there's a central, social hub where you can meet, chat and interact with other players. Similar to a virtual world game or an MMORPG, there are shops manned by NPCs here along with a nice selection of mini-games for you to enjoy during your downtimes outside of the "Proving Grounds". There's even a shooting range for you to test your skills.In terms of gameplay, Mavericks: Proving Grounds provides a massive 16km x 16km-sized map, which is dubbed as the Isle of Dern, that's filled with immaculate details like buildings, forests and the like. You'll then search these locations for chests or boxes containing the weapons or tools you need Considering the vastness of the map, there are vehicles you can drive around too.
Admittedly, it's pretty much similar to PUBG in many ways, but what truly makes this game unique is its physically-sound destructible environments. For instance, let's say an enemy is taking pot-shots at you from a forest but you can't see where he is... all you need to do is light the entire place on fire and smoke him out. There are also special specialist hardware that are powerful to use but can be really hard to find. These items will give you more strategic opportunities to get at your opponents.
The game has a bit of RPG in it mainly due to its emphasis on narrative and how every battle you fight in may determine the fate of the world. Through a unique reputation system, you can fight for the faction of your choice, either The Capital or one of The Factions, by completing achievements or simply by performing well in-game. Naturally, each faction provides you with their own sets of benefits.
Mavericks will be free-to-play once it is officially released, but it will also offer a premium, citizenship program. Likely a subscription program, having a citizenship will grant you some perks, allowing you to say earn more in-game currency and prestige, access to premium cosmetics and more.
