[@jeanplaidy173]

Didn't really realize at the time the influence that Arma ll Dayz Mod had in the gaming industry. I started playing Dayz Mod right when FrankieonPC posted the second chapter of his series. I fell in love with that game right when I saw it. After that I played Epoch, Overpoch specially in Taviana and Panthera maps. I stopped playing after 1000 hours put in Arma 2 and then tried all the rest, WarZ, H1z1, Rust PUBG, etc. I think it was 2014 that DayZ SA was released and the first months were absolutely insane. There was a shit ton of bugs which could be frustrating but we still managed to have fun. With 0.62 version it improved a lot and now I can't believe all the progress that the game has made. I've got over 5000 hours in DayZ Standalone and I don't imagine stop playing it anytime soon. The game of my life 💘 Thanks Dean Hall, thanks Bohemia and DayZ Devs for this master piece!

[@snzr]

It truly is an incredible story for the game. It’s done so much for people and the gaming industry. The influence was insane!

[@DameOnYT]

I met one of my best friends on the side of the road outside svet 10 years ago in this game

Yeah DayZ did that for people. It was the game that made me and my best mate want to get PCs 😀

[@DokdorP]

Fuckin great video mate. It's sad to see so many people I know hating on DayZ when literally all they play is Tarkov or Warzone.

[@snzr]

People should be grateful a game like DayZ exists. After all these years, there still isn’t really a game quite like it. DayZ not only provided people an incredible game, but it also set the foundation for many games futures!

[@BombDudeGames]

Damn that was one of the best DayZ video essays I've ever seen!

[@snzr]

Thank you bro 🥲

[@3RNO.]

My story is similar to yours, seeing dayz for the first time was magical. And everything about it was magical. I used to play on my XBOX 360 everyday but once I got a PC to play DAYZ I neglected my friends on the xbox and barely touched because DayZ was that good. I am 100% sure no game will ever give me that feeling that Arma 2 Dayz did around 2012. Im not sad that I will never experience anything like it ever again, I am happy that I got to experience it.

[@snzr]

Seeing DayZ for the first time back in 2012 was crazy. I’d never thought we’d actually ever have a game like this. I bounced between Xbox and PC when DayZ came out, but Rust legacy in 2013 was the game that made me completely switch to PC. I have to thank DayZ for Rust’s creation 😀

[@MadeonGaminG]

Thanks for the video, it brings me back a lot of nostalgia and good memories. I have met my best friend in DayZ Mod with the famous phrase *Anyone in Cherno ?* One of my friend I have met this way sadly passed away last year. I grew up with him, 16 year old bros playing DayZ Mod, H1z1, Arma 3, PUBG, good old times where we had no responsabilities and just enjoying life. I can’t thank enough thoses games that made all these amazing memories possible and have an important place in my heart ❤️

[@snzr]

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m happy the video made you feel that way 🥹

[@GermanVitus]

duuuuuude I just miss old school Arma 2 DayZ... It's been a while... No, it's really been more than just a while since I thought about the old times... kinda makes me reminiscent. Really wonder what the people from back than are upto. And if there will be another game like this somewhen, it struck so many people and brought so many people together.

[@snzr]

Arma 2 DayZ had a jankiness charm to it that I know a lot of people miss. DayZ Standalone is a fundamentally better game, but it took a long time for people to see that simply because of how special the mod was for some people 😀

[@gman057]

Rust will never be dayz it actually kinda pisses me off how many people think rust is better than dayz but if dayz never existed then rust would never exist

[@snzr]

Similar concepts, nothing a like.

[@gman057]

@@snzr you literally said in the video that there were zombies when it first came out it’s always been a dayz remake NOW it’s just an easier version of dayz it’s very much alike except mostly everything in the game is craftable and there’s no zombies now 😂 it’s an easier version of dayz hell it’s the baby version OF dayz fr

[@snzr]

@@gman057 I was specifically talking about the current versions of both games... Yes they have similar mechanics. Base building, PVP etc. But gameplay wise they are very different. DayZ is a serious hardcore survival game where your characters life matters, whereas Rust is a more casual less serious experience that is not as punishing. Would you agree that the current versions of the games offer different experiences?

Fantastic video bringing up the history and influence of DayZ Mod !! I still remember playing ApocZ on the Xbox 360 since my laptop couldn't handle DayZ mod. Had to subscribe after watching this !

[@snzr]

I was hoping ApocZ was gonna be a rival when I was a kid 😂

[@Suwako__Moriya]

DayZ inspired two games of Roblox - Apocalypse Rising and Deadzone (the latter being more WarZ inspired really). Nelson Sexton, the creator of Deadzone, then went on to create his own game in the Unity engine because an exploiter on Roblox stole his game and Roblox moderation did nothing. The game was called Unturned and it became one of the most popular free-to-play games on Steam! I have great memories of playing these games because my PC was too 💩 to run ArmA II. In fact, I obtained a copy of the original Deadzone (at that point Deadzone clones were their own subgenre on Roblox) and decided to make my own map for it, add new weapons, etc. This led me to meet somebody else who was also doing the exact same thing and we really hit it off. 11 years later, we’ve all largely kept in-touch (first Skype, then Discord) into adulthood. The guy I mentioned used what he learned from making Deadzone clones to become a game dev and is able to financially support his elderly parents and put his younger sister through university. All because of DayZ.

[@snzr]

That’s quite a story 🥹

[@spartancecchi]

i would argue the half life series is the most influential series of games ever made, specifically half life one

[@snzr]

I also kind of agree with that. Half Life pushed the FPS genre to extreme heights and it birthed in my opinion the greatest FPS ever made, which is CS. But I think DayZ pushed PC gaming to an extreme level. In my opinion, it was thee game that inspired millions of people to finally make the jump to PC, and it was also the game that really kickstarted long form gameplay content that inspired millions of people to start KZbin. And lastly, DayZ went onto to birth new games and genres like Rust and the Battle royale mode. DayZ did so much for the PC industry.

This shit brings me to tears man, I grew up through all this, made friends I still talk to all the way back from the 2012 dayz era, the survival genre might have been oversaturated and beat down to the ground by now but it has a special place in my heart, I had a similar story to the creator of the vid, there was something magical about watching frankie's vids and eventually finally getting to immerse myself in dayz on a shitty laptop that barely ran the game, I didn't care because there was nothing else like it at the time

[@snzr]

Gaming felt more special when you was playing on a system that can barely run the game 😂

[@2298839082508923859]

My first experience playing DayZ SA was on office laptop with downloaded ultralow configs with like 50 meters render distance, i was looking down to the road, and even then i had around 15 fps with stutters. Fan was weeping as vacuum cleaner, and you could probably cook an egg on the keyboard))) Still remember, how i tried to loot something, and eventually was killed somewhere in Solnechnyi... It was February 2014, and i was happy as hell. It motivated me start begging my parents to buy me proper PC)))

Dude, love this. Love letter to dayz and you summarized all of my thoughts about this game. I was, and still am, an xbox player. Had no idea this game existed until 2017. The first video i ever watched was an illegally uploaded summit1g stream on youtube, and i was fucking hooked just from that. I couldnt believe that there was a game that ticked every single one of my boxes. Ive been playing dayz since the first day it dropped early access on xbox in august 2018, and i hope to play it for the rest of my life.

I have the best gaming memories from dayz and its best game ever made in my opinion. There was so many bugs and problems, but we still managed to have so much. I also love that bohemia is open for modders, I think if they didnt allow people to mod the game it would have been dead long time ago.

[@2298839082508923859]

Don't forget about extraction shooters as well! ☝️🤓 Tarkov's logo is literally straight reference to DayZ logo. When Tarkov was in early stages of development, before it became popular in the West, it was treated by russian gamers as "session based DayZ". DayZ Mod (as well as Origins, Namalsk and Epoch) was very popular in ex-Soviet countries back in day! I remember watching Frankie as kid... I understood almost nothing what he was saying (didn't know English properly at the time), but the way he was presenting those stories was so good, that i still pretty much understood what was going on) He's videos are really motivated me to learn english, and i really thankful him for that! Great memories... ❤

warz is the best multiplayer open world shooter i ever played in 34 years of being alive

[@snzr]

I didn't play much of the original ISS, but watching streamers like Summit and Dakotaz play it was a lot of fun. Yeah the game was janky and goofy and we cannot deny it had a shady background, but the PVP experience really made up for it and I think that's why it had the cult following. I did play quite a lot of the emulated version called The NewZ, which I know is way inferior to the original, but I can't lie, the game was really fun. I personally find Caliwood and it's exaggerated wind very nostalgic and the games skill gap with snipers was a lot of fun. The VSS was no joke in ISS 😆

[@scalz420]

@@snzr newz was garbage. When i bought warz it was called ISS. But it was for sale for $3 on steam. I bought it just to see how bad it was. The fps was good. The online hitreg was good.. The servers never needed restart.. They didnt need to download mods.. I was walking around collecting guns/rifles putting them into a safebox that actually kept my stuff safe. And i got it for free because i gave someone a sniper rifle in a trade server (then sergey later made it so you could buy ALL cash shop things with zombie dropped cash) That allowed me to purchase and play as all like 8 different player models. When i played the pistols were very accurate and i could headshot like 40 zombies in just a few seconds. It was amazing. There was nothing wrong with it. In fact there were no hackers for about 1 whole entire year after they implemented punkbuster. Then sergey titov opened up SEA servers which are expensive as fk.. All while the game had no sub fee and only cost $3 for me. They shot themselves in the foot by calling it warz tho. I too assumed it was a dayz ripoff. But nowadays i think dayz would have to keep its head down if it was standing inside the same room as warz. Dayz did nothing compared to warz.

DayZ Was for sure influential, but I'm not sure if I would say the most influential game ever.

You don't have to like it, maybe you're that type of DayZ player which only played Mod and liked only it, but it's just weird to leave it out fully in a video about... Well... History of DayZ, and it's influence especially since it grew quite a lot. It's one of the most popular games on steam, daily.

[@snzr]

This wasn't a DayZ history video though, more of a short story on what the game did for KZbin and the industry. The video focused on the influence that the DayZ mod had on gaming and on gamers. All the games I mentioned in the video stemmed from that one mod. I have played both versions of DayZ extensively and the current version of DayZ is probably the best version we have ever had, but obviously my nostalgia for the mod influenced me to make this video 😄. And to be honest, I rarely play DayZ now, but I really appreciated my time with it and what it did for KZbin and the gaming industry.

[@PROJ_DRK]

I'm sorry but I think this title belongs to the ARMA series. Afterall, Day-Z was an ARMA 2 mod, so was PUB-G.

[@snzr]

Partly true. However I have to kind of disagree. Yes there is an argument to be made that DayZ would not exist if it wasn't for Arma 2. But no one really cared for Arma 2 until DayZ came out. DayZ itself pushed the Arma franchise to insane levels I'm sure the original dev team were not expecting. Yes DayZ ran on the Arma 2 engine, but they were completely different games, so I think comparing them isn't fair. In my opinion DayZ mod was it's own game. And if it wasn't for DayZ, all the games that I mentioned in the video probably would not exist. Brendan Green loved Arma 2, but it wasn't Arma 2 that made him want to make his own Battle Royale mode, it was DayZ. Brendan loved DayZ's concept, but he wanted the games PVP to be more streamlined, that's why he made the Battle Royale mode.

[@PROJ_DRK]

@@snzr Yeah, I'd agree actually, looking deeper at the scale of events like that. To be honest though, Bohemia Interactive are the real MVPs here for creating the tools necessary that made all of this possible in the first place!

[@F_itaca9456]

​@@snzrI agree that DayZ actually brought the concepts...but Arma 2 mechanics were key to the success of both DayZ and Frankie and that would have never worked on the Source Engine for example. Why? At that time no game on foot took realism so seriously...ballistics, lethality, distances, penetration, vehicles, big landscapes with weather changes obligating players think of s route, orient themselves, decide how to react... Many things and scenarios that would not be possible with other engines of that time.
