Hey guys,

Looking at Zombie survival apocalypse games,Which one would you recommend out of these two?
Both are £14.99 on Steam.

The latest update on the Dead Linger looks impressive,I heard Rust has a lot of hackers?
 
rust biggest joke ever. basically since it came out nothing much been done and its just a field with wood in. you build a building admin on server knows what you got. thats it.

try dead lingor or why not play breaking point on arma 3.
 
Dead Linger is pretty pants online and has very little content. You will play for about 3-4 hours and that will be it and you have to wait 3-4 months for each update. I have no doubt in a years time the game will be amazing but right now it has very little content and after 2-3 hours no reason to play.

Rust is full of hackers but hey so are most online games, but it will give you the best bang for buck atm. PvP is pretty good and the base building is dead fun. My vote for now goes with rust. Although to be fair they are different games, I base my view on the content both games have right now. Rust is also updated every 3-4 days atm.

Ignore DG, rust has been totally rebuilt, you can play both versions of the game, has a ton of content and is updated a lot.
 
why ignore even gary said he earns more from garys mod than rust. so its obvious which will be worked on/prioritized more.

go buy it . you spawn in a field which has nothing but rocks in it bit of wood and a couple of buildings. you get wood build a building then thats about it.

hackers are rife in it. admins of servers give themselves whatever gear they want or can teleport in your base.

there is no end game.

witcher always says ignore but just ask people who used to play it. used to being the key word.
 
Yeah I don't play anymore, I had over 100 amazing hours on it, got my monies worth and will go back in 6+ months and will probs bang a few more hours into it.

Also everyone is bored of you saying all admins on every game abuses power. Just seems to be aimed at you :)

Anyway the topic here is not about that, the topic is Rust vs Dead Linger at this point in time, Rust offers far more content and will give the op many hours of game play while right now Dead Linger will not. If the op had said Rust or DL or Arma 3, well ofc Arma would have got my vote but that is not what he asked.

This is my Dead Linger playtime:

Will be great in the future though.

DG has 7.9 hours on Rust and he does not even own Dead linger :) Just saying

ALL games will have hackers or people who will abuse DG, no one has said that. Trouble is you tell everyone to avoid the entire game over a handful of people. Same as every online game you need to find a few good servers and enjoy the game as intended. Welcome to online gaming m8 ;)
 
I've been trying to get into Rust again. It hadn't changed at all in months, in legacy mode at least, and I can't get into the new version.

The world isn't very interesting or atmospheric.
The rate look crates are easy-ish to come by but getting actual rate items is rare. (compared to my DayX model where rare look is hard to find but you're pretty likely to get something good.)
The hunger is a pain because animals are so rare.
It isn't very strategic and doesn't really get better with mates.

I haven't played the TDL though. I'm just not very impressed with Rust.

Legacy mode will never be touched again it is the old version. They gave us the option to carry on playing the legacy version or the new version they are working on. This is why many say it is has never been updated as people don't seem to understand the old rust is not the way the devs want to go. The new version is the only version that gets updated every few days.

I also prefer the Legacy version.
 
See now i like that Rust has a big PVP aspect,But are there public servers?..or are they all privately rented?

try dead lingor or why not play breaking point on arma 3.

I downloaded Arma3 on the free weekend thing as i wanted to try Altis life,But every server i join it says im not whitelisted?
So how are you suppose to play the bloody mod.? :confused:

You go to the hosts website and get whitelisted.

Seems like a hell lot of faffing to me,I'm not hunting down peoples websites (as 90% of them dont even have a link to their clan),applying then waiting days to see if they accept me or not that's just stupid.

Oh well looks like i wont be playing Altis life.

Are they all whitelisted still? I think most were as Arma 3 had a exploit which I think was fixed in the last patch. To be fair though being whitelisted does stop cheaters as most of the time a cheater can't be bothered to sign up.
