That's it! In my honest (and unbiased) opinion, I can say that Rust is a better experience than DayZ. The unique log-out system, enjoyable gameplay loop, easy-to-access resource gathering, and consistent content updates just make an all-around great game.

Read More »To determine which one of these gaming titans is better, we’ll go down the arbitrary list that we’ve crafted, one by one. We’ll then give the win to either game for each category and by the end, we should have a winner. Death Penalty – DayZ and Rust both have much more costly death penalties than most games, but their functionality is still totally different from one another. In DayZ, when you die, there isn’t necessarily a major cost as you have no levels or RPG mechanics, but the cost comes from a physical aspect. In DayZ, the map is so large that traversing it takes multiple hours, so dying can be a massive setback in terms of acquiring loot and reaching your destination. All spawns are along the southern coast, while all the major areas are in the north. In Rust, death is not nearly as costly, but much more frequent. The game has a unique system where logging out does not keep you safe. Instead, your character will go into a sleeping animation, and lay there until you log back in. This leaves you vulnerable to attack for hours to even days, depending on when you’re able to resume playing. If you die, like most games, you’ll lose everything on your character and possibly even your base. I’m going to have to give the point to Rust. The system they’ve created around how you can die while offline is very creative and pressures the player to seek shelter before logging off. External Threats – DayZ and Rust also have very different ways of handling external threats. In DayZ, you have lots of things to worry about. Hunger and thirst are everlasting. Sickness is a legitimate threat that forces you to search for medicine. The weather can be too cold or too hot, and you will have to adapt to it. There are man-eating zombies that roam the cities and countryside alike. And finally, there are other players who may or may not end you to take everything you own! Rust is a PvP-focused game, and has way more emphasis on the actual player vs. player gunplay than the actual survival. It has more players condensed into a smaller map, and doesn’t require nearly as much time investment for the player to sustain themselves with food or water. While there are AI enemies in Rust, it is safe to say the only real threat to the player’s survival is other players. I’m going to give the point here to DayZ. While it can feel very unforgiving to have to juggle so many obstacles while surviving, it only makes survival even more rewarding when you manage to make it out on top. You feel very accomplished when you manage to survive multiple in game days, even if the learning curve is steep. Resource Management – When it comes to resources, Rust has always been commendable. There is a very simple system where players accumulate wood, stone, and metals which all have different levels of utility. Bases are slowly upgraded by using better materials, and the players progress along the journey by learning better blueprints that allow them to do more. The system is simple, easy to learn, and allows for many neat player creations. DayZ, on the other hand, just isn’t all that. The crafting system is arbitrary at times, with more of an emphasis on realism. You can create small tools and objects, but it isn’t a staple of the series to be able to manufacture large structures or anything of the sort. Although realistic, this limits the player massively, and makes the accumulation of resources even more tedious.

Read More »Rust definitely takes the dub in this category, as it just has a much more user friendly experience. Even if it is a comical interpretation of resource gathering, it is significantly more enjoyable regardless if it is at the expense of realism. Overall Polish – DayZ is such a sad story when it comes to overall polish. Bohemia Interactive unfortunately have been using what most consider to be an outdated engine to run the game, and it has led to subpar graphics and unfortunately poor hit registration. In a game with such a low time to kill, and such heavy punishment for dying, this is a serious point to detract. Rust, on the other hand, is very smooth and reliable with its gunplay. Furthermore, the game receives consistent content updates monthly which include new vehicles, mobs, guns, graphical improvements, map additions, and more. In regards to overall polish and content, Rust definitely wins.
