Leeeeeroyyyy Jenkins!
Honestly, I love this game and you really do have to do stupid things to learn different things. Just try not to die too much as it can hurt your survivor rank. I know some people complain that there is no weapon that last forever and they all break. However, later in the game, you learn new skills and by the time you level up the weapon you have is pointless forcing you to get new ones for your level. Like my title, when I see a crowd of zombies, I shout: LEEEERRROOOYYY JENKINS!!! This so fits the situation. Just have fun with the game and enjoy how unique and challenging this game is. Sometimes it gets frustrating but once you get it down and learn the nifty crafting skills, you're golden! I loved this game and it's one of my favorites so far.
