DayZ vs S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
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.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is the first of a hugely popular post-apocalyptic-themed, first-person, survival-horror shooter which might have just amassed a cult following. Set in 2012, almost two decades after the worst nuclear disaster occured at the Chernobyl power station and around 6 years after a second explosion rocked the damaged reactor, causing various anomalies to ripple open and from them came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and also rare artifacts that are somehow imbued with powerful anomalous energy... artifacts that many would kill to have.Since then, the existence of such artifacts have brought forth groups of "stalkers", scavengers who scour the cordoned areas around Chernobyl for these very objects... and in this game, you play as one of them.
The game has risen to acclamation partly due to the terrifying, nightmarish creatures that the game contains, in addition to the brilliantly immersive storyline and an incredibly realistic game environemnt that's modelled after its real-world counterpart deep inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The gameplay is excellent as well. The game has accurate ballstics and combat mechanics, as well as a challenging survival aspect that is further made difficult due to the impact day and night, and the weather system has on the environment. There is also a multiplayer mode that can support up to 32 players.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary earlier this year and as such, many aspects of the game aren't really up to scratch by today's standards at least. If you do plan on getting this game, you might want to download some mods to help improve the game somewhat.
