Dayz

Dayz is a mod for Arma 2 where the player is plunged into a zombie apocalypse survival/horror game. You spawn in as a player in a world where a unknown virus has turned most of the population into zombies. Your goal for the game is to survive as long as possible without getting killed by zombies and other players.

Pictures Of Gameplay

There are no main characters in this game you can either become a women or a man. Either way you have to survive.

Main characters

In this corrupted world it doesn’t matter if your man or girl, Hero or bandit every person has the same charteristics: survival.

Charteristics of Characters

There are different levels, you start out as a hero. Hero’s help people out and can go up to level 3. You upgrade by not killing players and doing good deeds. Bandits do the exact opposite they kill players on the spot, bandits can also level up to a maximum of 3

How are Minorities Portrayed?

Although women are in Dayz I don’t think they are portrayed in any stereotypical way at all. Women have to fight and fend for themselves just like men do.

How are women portrayed?

Men are portrayed as just regular men and as far as I know there are no stero types. But I know that more people prefer for there skin to be a man rather than a girl.

How are men portrayed ?

Dayz is not like GTA or other first person shooter games. There are no homophobia in this game unless a person who is playing the game has homophobia.

Is there homophobia in your game?

Special needs are not included in Dayz

How are people with special needs portrayed?

From what I understand there is quite a bit of violence in Dayz not only are zombies trying to kill you but also players and bandits. But compared to games such as GTA 5 and Battlefield 4 it is not that violent.

Dayz level of violence

Personally I wouldn’t know any positive messages in the game because I have not played Dayz and I don’t think there is any positive messages in this game however players may have positive messages in side chat

List all positive messages in your game

As far as I know there are no negative messages in Dayz :D

List all of the negative messages in your game

I haven’t played Dayz yet D: Personally I think that maybe 14-15 is a appropriate to start playing this game just because there is some swearing in the headset when you are talking to other players and in side chat.

How young were you when you started playing Dayz?

I have yet to play this game so I cant say how many hours I play but I would estimate to play this game 1 hour a day or so.

How many hours have you spent playing this game ?

Dayz is my favorite game because I like the survival and strategy to the game not only are you trying to survive but you can have your friends join and build bases and repair cars meet people and all in all have a great experience :D

Why do you enjoy this game ? Why is it your favorite?

Video game addiction for me is not only when you play non- stop but also if you don’t respond to your environment or the people around you. If your grades start to deplete and your entire focus your entire life is focused on that one game THAT is what I call addiction. I’m not addicted to this game because I have yet to play it XD.
