Funhaus: H1Z1 - The Legend of Bang Di
^^^(How First Time Players Might Expierence The Game) ^^^
Alright so, much hype for my personally. H1Z1 is a survival MMO sandbox video game in development by Sony Online Entertainment. H1Z1 is currently being developed in Beta release for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4. Now, normally these kinds of games i brush off because...for 1, i play on PS4, not PC. And games like this are almost always for PC. And second...i am veeeeeeery picky about my shooters because i have a certain playstyle for all the games i dabble in. For BF4 i play smart, normally a sniper just scouting the border of the game and aiming to the center. With battlefront i normally stick to unforseen areas and surprise my opponents. Overwatch i play support.
Then there are games like CoD that i SUCK in. Like, i can't even get kills. It's a twitch shooter and i don't have the reflexes to do a 360 Noscope. Now, i consider myself pretty good at games but some shooters i ignore. Destiny i got into because it was a fun medium for me and my family/freinds to have fun in PvE & PvP. Division because...co-op tactical RPG third person shooter? I'm all up in there.
H1Z1 feels...uniqe to me somehow. I can't explain it, but it feels like in games these days there is no real risk when i play. I just spawn in, get mad kills, die, repeat. Normally in liniar maps and what not...loot systems are fine, but i hate when i do a super hard mission and get like...a lame weapon or thing of armor. This game however is just pure Win or Lose. You get dropped into a map with about 100 players with nothing but your bare hands. You wander the area for supplies in order to survive, and once you (Or your team) gather enough stuff, your off to the races. Or you can die as quickly as you touch down if you are unlucky.
You don't keep gear and every time you play its a new expierence. The pure rush of getting into the final 10, or 5, or 2 is just..ugggg. Amazing. When you find good weapons and its you and your buddy getting hunted down by other players. H1Z1 does not impress with pretty graphics or michal bay style explosions. It pleases with heart racing tension and constantly nervousness. Espeically when gunshots are being fired around you, but you have no idea where.
In my opinion...its just fun. Just fun. Challenging, but fun. Other shooters feel more like a slot machine. Ya walk in, pull a lever, and get kills. And then you get rewarded for you. Games these days cater to players with easy killsreakes, battlepacks, or skins (Overwatch). This game is simple, but in its simplicity it does something not many games do. It grips you. A new adventure everytime you drop out the sky.
I dunno, i'm just ranting now. Let me know what you guys think. The game is still in its beta and i doubt consol will hold 100+ players at once, But if it can...whelp. I'm sold. But frankly i'm sold either way.
Bang Di. Gone but never forgotten. RIP <3
