Report RSS Rust is better than DayZ

Posted by on

It's been compared, debated, and discussed, but I think I finally have the answer and reasons why. I found Rust to be way more enjoyable than DayZ for several reasons. For one, in Rust there's always an opportunity to make enemies with someone, not like in DayZ where you just discover someone is a bandit when you try to be friendly and they just shoot you, sending you miles away and most likely unable to see that person ever again. In Rust, you have a chance of meeting them again, and engaging in exciting clan wars where you get to fight the mofo that attacked you before. There's also a strategy aspect to Rust. How should you build your base so it's not easily raided? How should you raid another base? What should you build first: a bow or a stone hatchet? There are many opportunities to manage your resources and craft. In Rust, you start out as merely rock-wielding, naked men but as you play and make progress and craft better weapons and armor you turn into a powerful, formidable force. Best part of all, there's most likely other powerful forces you can clash against and encounter more exciting firefights. It's extremely satisfying to be well-equipped in Rust, much more enjoyable than being fully fed in DayZ (although, I must admit, getting the right gear in DayZ is just as satisfying). Rust is probably a better game because it never truly ends. If you have the right blueprints you can recover from being raided and build a new base, you can wait until tomorrow until your deadly rivals appear once again to harass you, and you can always respawn at your base if you have a sleeping bag. Rust overall has been a much more fun experience, but the more progress you make the more forgiving it is, unlike in DayZ where death is always punished, if you have enough gear stored away in your base it's very easy to recover from a battle and jump back into the fray. This is one of Rust's biggest flaws but it is also a strength because it encourages players to keep building and playing in order to gather enough weapons. These are the main reasons why I think Rust is better but if you have a good argument for DayZ please leave something in the comments!
