Day z

Wow. I never thought I'd see or hear anyone call the ARMA 2 engine 'pretty.' Seriously cat, if you think ARMA 2, and by extension Day Z, are pretty, you need to take another look at some of the games out there. ARMA 2 seriously looks like microwaved vomit compared to some of the titles of the last twelve months.

now, for the time, Arma2 was beautiful. but is has not aged well at all. This isn't like half life, where it was damn good even 5 years later. no.

however, DayZ is alot of fun. not a fan of regular Arma2 though. the controls just suck for a regular game.

what's wrong with them?

what's wrong with them?

they're incredibly clunky and not very natural. they work amazingly for dayZ because they serve to add more stress and atmosphere, but in the regular game, they really just don't work.

I don't think you played enough... they become very natural over time.

I fully agree at first it's a shit storm given basically every button does something, but once you play for a bit it's no biggie.

The controls are pretty good after a time playing the game, the inventory imo could have been improved (I have lost several guns trying to place them in a backpack) but once you know the various buttons and can aim the mouse in the right place it gets quite fluent.

The controls are fine for both games they are way more realistic than other games like.
