Yes i know, why would i look at the tutorial? Simple, I wanted to experience DayZ as most will. The inventory system can still feel a little slow but I have managed to master 99.9% of the controls in DayZ without ever looking at the tutorial. While DayZ still has a lot of confusing elements and controls I feel confident in saying its adapted well to the Xbox controller. How did DayZ fare? I have to admit, it’s not bad. It’s no secret that there have always been complications adapting a game built for the keyboard and mouse of beastly powerful PC’s to the humble controller. The first thing that pops to everyone’s mind when talking about games such as DayZ coming to Xbox is, will it work? DayZ on Xbox is a sign of hope for all those that wish their favourite survival games will come to console one day, hopefully other games will someday make the transition. Today, we are talking about the standalone version on Xbox, something that thousands of gamers have been waiting for.
