How a 7000 hour Solo Plays DayZ... 

Watching someone else play this game is so much nicer than actually playing it myself. Those time skips are heavenly.

I love seeing the friendly player encounters, it actually feels like meeting somebody in the apocalypse

This video is an incredible example of proper, intentional music selection and editing. Adds so much to the effect of the video. Haven't watched DayZ content in years and this sent me back to the frankie days. You've earned my sub!

That guy lining you up with their shotgun while you were totally oblivious made my heart stop. That was terrifying.

Got recommended this channel by RU-vid. Never seen or played DayZ, never had any interest in it. I can now admit, I'm addicted to your channel and I'm binging it all. Kudos, your hard work is clearly paying off and you deserve it all!

Mate, your editing is sick. The choice of ambient music combined with the sudden swaps to tense music to accompany these situations makes us feel like we’re there in the moment . Also you have a nice commentary with a nice voice :) Keep up the great work man!

That first encounter legitimately restored so much faith that I had previously lost in gaming communities. What an absolute legend.

6:49 man, you're editing is God tier. The emotion brought up with the ambient music and view of town was something else. It was calm and serene with blue skys and a sunny day, yet that constant undertone of anxiety always lurking. Knowing that entering that quiet city could be the last mistake you ever make. 10/10 hard subscribe.

It's always a treat when someone is so good at making gameplay videos, that they can have you interested in a game you've never even considered looking into before

Appreciate all the past entrainment & this upload as well.

Nice!!! I made it into a video. Glad I could feed this adventure. You scared the bejesus out of me in Rogovo

Dude is the Wiljum of DayZ

I watch a lot of youtube game videos. Yours are a cut above the rest. You do such a nice job of telling a story. You should win an award for the soundtrack alone. Keep up the good work!

Cant go wrong with a cup of tea and a vid from sour ☕️💪

I have never played DayZ. But what a pleasure this was. The music, the editing, the tension, your voice. So cool. 20:40

You have more hours in DayZ than I do on my entire 19 year old steam account.

I love DayZ. Decided to give another player a chance after avoiding all contact for a long time. He was very friendly and offered me some food. We talked a bit and he was extremely helpful. I was almost finished with my apple when he shot me point blank 😂

I never played this game but I'm always hyped when you upload a new video!! It's like you're telling a story while you're playing!

The editing on this is fantastic, I love how you build the tension!

I really miss when dayz mod was still new. It really created an atmosphere that was terrifyingly realistic, and addicting. It was maddening, thrilling. It was such a special time. The paranoia you felt was so real, because if you had anything of substance, it took hours, if not days, in real time mind you, to acquire. The loss you felt was so real. Breaking a leg was such a huge issue, getting sick, it was all so intense.

Incredible! I was instantly pumped when this dropped. As usual, a cinematic gem. Him watching those five players on the roof was great...expected him to say, "One down. Killed another," etc.😂 Loved it!

The calm background music and awesome editing and story telling just earned you another sub 👍

I have been watching gaming channels for a long time and your editing and storytelling is so well done compared to the majority of what I have seen. Happy to join your subscribers!

This video is like no other! I've not seen a game and story twist like this. The hole atmosphere of you playing is like real life. Even the voice over lay when you are running far places, feels right. I'm new to your videos. This is cool! 🤩

He’s more well equipped at the start of this run than I’ve ever been in the time I’ve played dayz

The feeling when Sour uploads a new video 👌 Keep up the great work!

Your thought process in this game is fascinating to watch. I have talked with friends about playing this game but today after watching your videos, I finally bit the bullet and bought it on the steam summer sale. Looking forward to trying it out!

I just want to say, I always enjoy your story telling!!!! everything is dynamic, fun, and easy to watch, great presentation, and good atmosphere !!! KEEP IT UP !!!

RU-vid recommended this to me today. I enjoyed it so much i watched 4 more of your vids. Now I'm part way through your movie, having a great time. You're a charismatic gamer, a great story teller, and obviously a humble top-tier dayz player. The ambiance you strike with the music and composition of these vids is amazing. Maybe i'll pick this game up one day!

As someone who has never played DayZ, have no idea what the point is or anything, this was very enjoyable to watch. Your cadence and delivery is very soothing to listen to. Subbed, and excited to see more of your content

Watching you video is like a post-game recap. You glossed over all of the running, but managed to present all of the excitement in a condensed, yet well edited and scored, highlight reel. Thanks man, obtained another sub!

That insta-switch to the AK at around 21:00 ish though..😍 So nicely done. I just know I would have fumbled it after being jumped like that.

Hey Sour, you have some of the best edited videos I have the pleasure to watch. Thanks for doing such a great job. 💪

Your vision and perception are second to none. I find myself rewinding to see how you manage to see half the people you do just at a glance.

I never had enough time to devout to Day-Z but that was amazing to watch! So relaxing... but action packed :) Nice play and Voiceover

Love the editing. Opening door after door after door to show that you're looting and not finding what you want is a really cool touch. You're definitely skilled! Had to rewind to hear the guy take the breath. Your calm demeanor and ability to assess situations is great. Never usually solo games so it's a really cool thing to see where patience, observation and timing come in rather than sheer force. Incredible gameplay Sweet, having me come back for more.

I bet this guy has a award winning answering machine! People call and hope he doesn’t pick up. 😂 amazing adventure as always sour! Thank you!

I don't watch much DayZ content, but this was wicked peaceful and calming. Just a really chill play session.

Damn bit late to the party but the audio editing in your videos is absolutely top notch. I'm finding myself being drawn into the individual narratives of everything you encounter and that's a big part of it. Great work!

Ohhh I can't wait to see what grand adventure Sour takes us on this time!

Just came across this channel and watched the event video too. This is absolutely spectacular. Got my at the edge of my seat. And even though it’s not my type of game. You’re fully inducing me to play this game. Great work. keep it up 👍🏼

it’s always so funny playing and watching dayz and seeing the progression from bambi (friendly, talks to people they meet) to geared (no voice comms whatsoever, sniping from 300m away)

Man.... your videos are just something else! Its almost soothing and I love it! You play this game superbly! As a new player to DayZ, I hope I get as good as you in the game!

great adventure, storytelling and choice of music - as always. went well with my morning coffee :)

I have hundreds of hours into dayz, I've watched countless videos/movies/creators. But this... this video had single handedly changed my entire perspective on playing it. What a captivating experience this was. 5 stars. Also, what server - or type of server is this?

This was very soothing to watch, not a big DayZ fan but for some reason I could watch videos like this forever. Awesome stuff!

I absolutely love dayz bc of the atmosphere. It Fr feels like you’re in the walking dead and you never know if someone is gonna kill you or give you some food

I always appreciate Slow-and-Scrupulous Sour when you go solo, makes me feel better about being overly cautious myself P:

i love your content man! the editing with the music is really nice keep it up

it almost feels like watching frankie back in 2013. so many good memories. keep it up, fr. havent seen another channel this good since frankie stopped

Such a relaxing video, big ups to you man. I've never played the game but i have to say that view at 6:52 was stunning it feels like the world is actually a world. Beautiful scale.

You have great editing skills Sour. That could be a great backup or second job aside streaming ! Congrats young man

The memories of me watching you at night and almost falling sleep couse your voice is so calm.

This is amazing man, your commentary and gameplay feels so cinematic.

Couple months ago I started my journey like this. The EDITING alone is hours of work. Nevermind all the gameplay. Great work!

Such great work Sour, always a pleasure to watch

I really liked your music choices for the video. GGs Sour on another cool adventure!

This has been the most exciting yet relaxing video of a day Z gameplay, extremely well done and edited!

I've watched some of your videos and I like how 'chill' you are. especially like how nice you are to beginners and let them tag along. makes me want to play lol

Finally a worthwhile notification! Keep 'em coming Sour!! ♥

Love the way you play as well as the commentary, it's like hearing your thoughts while actually playing :)

You have amazing talent for making simple scenes very tense with the music and the commentary. Great video!

just what i was waiting for! Thanks sour:) nothing like your awesome videos

I've never played this game but I'm hooked on watching you play. Really horror movie vibes.

Great videos .really injoy the relatively relaxed pace and your pvp plays usually work out well . Iv subbed to watch more 👍👍👍👍👍

Im absolutely addicted to your adventure videos. loving it!

This game has everything you could ever want in a survival game. Also one of fhe most peaceful game plays i ever experienced in any game. I hope this game is available forever

you know its gonna be good evening, when Sour uploads :D

Could never really get into DayZ, probably gave up way too soon to actually learn the game, but man I could watch your videos all day! The editing, background music and your game play is phenomenal. Just discovered your channel a day or 2 ago - but looking forward to watching all your posted content and future videos!

When the guy spots you from really far away at 8:22, genuinely gave me chills. Your editing is absolutely amazing. You really know how to build suspense with music. Bravo, sir, absolutely bravo. Like and subbed!

Your videos are the type you can watch even if you don’t play the game

SourSweet with a another calm and relaxing video, I know you don't upload often but when you do I always watch it when I get time. (I've gotten better about actually liking your videos too. Bell icon on ❤😉

This lovely background music, your soothing voice and the game feels so nice to watch. Almost makes me feel nostalgic about something that didn't even happen.

Great work man, really enjoying watching.

Unlike other Day-Z Yters's, it was really nice seeing your damaged scope and other itemas actually damaged. First time watching and i'll definetly be watching more

you should make this solo experience a a full series , its great !

I've never played DayZ or have I ever watched anything related to DayZ, but I love watching you play it. GG!

You are such a talented storyteller, and the pride you take in your craft, not to mention the respect and love you have for your fans all equates to a tragically under-viewed, Under-subscribed, Owes the people not fortunate enough to have stumbled upon your channel or shared from a friend, MASTER of RU-vid and content creation. PERIOD. Thank-you personally for being such a positive influence and being the inspiration behind my own personal interest in content-creation.

"Thank you, And I hope you all enjoy!" -- SourSweet Sincerely, your Canadian follower and super-fan, ++ Ty Havoc

8 Months old video, I don't know if u will ever read this, but currently I'm going through a burn-out and there is nothing that can actually grasp my attention or make me smile. But the content u are putting out here, and the way you are interacting with everything suddenly made me feel like I missed a whole lot from a long lost friend. IDK man this content makes me happy, and while I've never played the game i enjoy it allot. Keep making this It's such great content. Thank u.

First time ever watching your videos and this game itself and man it was very entertaining, looking foward to more 🤟🏼

I have never played this game or never was interested, but for some reason I was able to watch the full video in one sitting. It was relaxing, and there were some intense moments. Well done on the video, proud of you!

The things you see are incredible, I some times have a problem seeing when you zoom in on it

I don't play, but your videos are like really nice to watch. thnx for you work.

My friend, what a satisfying video to watch. I don't even play dayz but this is awesome. I'm addicted to your channel. Good work!

I really enjoyed the way you edited this. I can tell you put a lot of effort only including the interesting and important bits to the plot/storyline. I also really enjoyed your demeanor. You have a melodic voice that does well with narrating. Keep up the awesome work mate. You got a sub from me. Cheers brotha!

This was like old-school Frankie before he started scripting it. Very nice and made me want to play DayZ again.

As someone whos phone only goes up to 480p without lagging, i have no idea how he sees people from two miles away lol

Brilliantly edited and produced dude. The music added so much. I was completely absorbed.

This video is a masterpiece the editing , the music selection , the calm vibes yet still very anxious wow just wow

You're my favorite DayZ player. How you play resonates with me and I strive to play like you, as a fellow solo I jump in glee when I see you've uploaded again.

Sour has such a keen eye while looking for someone. I wish I had that lol

Never played the game but that was a lot of fun to watch. I agree with the others, your editing skills are top notch. (Can't believe I watched the entire thing! Well done!)

First video I’ve watched of yours and I gotta say you do a fantastic job, getting mad Frankie Vibes, imma sub and watch your vids thanks for filling that void of DayZ content I was missing

Another great adventure. How do you get the cinematic end shots? The run in the field was nice and I remember one where you had an aerial shot of people running around after you were shot. Are they recreated or is there a mod that allows that?

"Hey everyone, Sour here" Hey Sour, excellent introduction phrase. I really enjoyed your story telling, video editing, and gameplay. You have ethics and give everyone the benefit of the doubt during random encounters and don't shoot at will. All the video series are entertaining and keep you interested. Thanks for sharing the gameplay.

Dude, I don't even play DayZ, but I was hooked from the beginning to the end, very very nice, subscribed !

New subscriber, love what I see so far. Your solo vids are awesome and the background music is exquisite! Thank you.

If there was some sort of competitive dayz, sour would be the best in the game. His game sense and ability to loot and watch his back is so good. And , tell exactly where and how far shots are coming from, absolutely insane man

Would love to group up with you buddy. You’ve got great content.

man, the feel of watching this video. the soundtrack, the edits, the cuts, even the gameplay itself. its, like a movie!
