Stephan, you will not be forgotten. We shall remember you as the one who talks before he shoots. RIP brother

Man Stephan was a real one, shame his story ended the way it did : (

Stephan suddenly going silent and later seeing stephans lifeless body hit me like a train. The background score really escalated the emotion here.

Man losing Stephan actually hurt, like we were together from boot camp or something. He was gone forever...

55:46 that wolf jump scared the crap out of me

I can't believe we get this much quality content for free! It's like watching a movie. Your story telling is absolutely amazing.

WTF DUDE! I started playing DayZ with some friends a few days ago and as a complete noob, i searched for some gameplay to learn something... But this is not gameplay, this is a real movie or tv show, holy im getting goosebumbs.

RIP Stephan. The humble "I could have shot you easily, but I decided to talk instead" makes you a legend, and legends never die.

54:09 "Hello, Stephan?" heart breaking

Hey everyone, Sour here! Hope you enjoy the new video, apologies if I sound somewhat unwell in some of the voice overs, covid isn't fun! I'm still getting over the sinus side of it but good thing is I'm feeling better each day. Next video is going to be on Livonia, hopefully shouldn't be too long until that one comes out too, it's another great adventure that I can't wait to share! Thank you for all the support and I'll catch you in the next video or the next stream :)

It’s meeting people like Stephan that makes this game worth it

Dude, I didn't think I'd shed a tear over Stephan. I do hope he watched this video, cause it would be cool for him to know how big of a help he was to you.

Rest in peace Stephan, you were a true fellow, may your kind hearted intentions serve as inspiration to all of us!

If only there were more trust worthy players like your self and Stephen. It's easy to get into a conflict gun fight, but no were as interesting as making a trust worthy friend/friends and go on a journey.

I don't even play DayZ, but your videos are so much fun to watch.

Stefan, keiner wird dich vergessen - du bist in unseren Herzen! ❤

The fact that Stephan is remember so fondly is heart warming. Ik he's some random guy that was found in a game but he was a friendly kind hearted person (from what we saw)

28:30 props for that transition. You had me glued to the screen for an hour long, fantastic video!

Hearing how you speak to people is somewhat refreshing Most people keep their voice low and sorta give the vibe of not actually "wanting" to talk When you speak it's very friendly, cheerful and welcoming. Its sad the way Stephan went out but at least he made it that far with you

Holy shit, this is one of best DayZ videos I've ever seen...I was immediately engaged. I have to get myself a PC AGAIN. I've been playing daily on Xbox but the smooth gameplay on PC is very enticing. Lost my PC back in 2016 and haven't really got myself back into despite the 10 plus years of amazing adventures. Thank you for this high quality video.

You really created a new action hero. Friendly even wholesome but so deadly when needed, while being articulate. 10/10

I love this movie. It was a sad time when Stephan lost his life. It always happens that someone we like in a movie is killed. :( I hope that one day Stephan finds this video and gets into contact with you and play more games together. He has a heart of gold.

This was simply amazing.. Well done to you and Stephan for this adventure, thanks for brining us along with you. RIP Stephan

Damn your smooth edits, silky voice, charming accent, and cinematic experience. I’ve never even heard of this game before and I’ve already watched 3 of your videos. Why can’t I stop watching?

First video I’ve watched of yours. This is a cinematic masterpiece.

Rest in peace Stephan, that was a great duo. Thanks for this amazing video Sour!

The entire adventure had me on my toes and biting my nails. Thank you SO MUCH Sour. You're a true legend.

God, honestly, someone could take this and turn it into a real movie, narration and all, just live action. When you and Stephen were scoped in to the left of that orange tree I got up close to the monitor to try and spot where they were. Hands down the most captivating gaming content on YT, if I'd smashed the subscribe button any harder I'd be down a mouse.

Oh my god, I almost never comment on anything but this time i have to. I just found your channel a few days ago and watched through all the series you put out and thinking yesterday, how awesome it would be if you uploaded another episode. You are also the only reason i started to play dayz again for the first time since the arma mod and already had to experience some amazing moments like meeting other people, some friendly others not so :) Thank you for all the amazing content!

This will be good, I'm saving this for later to watch with a cider

Hey Sour, I'm new to your channel. I play Hunt Showdown and before that cs. I never really got into the sim survival genre and didn't care to, couldn't see the appeal. but your videos are astonishing. Absolutely remarkable. I'm completely addicted to the cinematic quality of your edits. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures and keep up the good work.

Sour is an oasis, in the middle of jerk-Ustreamers in DayZ. Thank you for preserving the little bit of positive roleplay only this game allows these days.

6:14 I love how in one clip, the zombie is kinda far, then in the next clip he's dead on the floor. Keep up the good work!

Of all the adventures I've watched on your twitch this was my favourite. The map, the fights, exploring new territory and and the sheer intensity of hunting that guy at the entrance to the bunker. iirc there were two pack of wolves agro-ed and they were soo loud it was deafening. Great vid brother... Thanks! :)

This has to be one of the best produced videos I have ever seen on youtube. I was hooked from start to finish. I hope there will be a part 2.

I really miss this content here on YT - the music, the story telling - the voice - the whole experience!! It is always like wachting a movie.

Hey Sour! Love the stories that you share with us and the editing is perfect :))

Love your content Sour 😁😁

Sour, this really was an adventure to watch… normally i dont like long dayz videos… but i could not stop watching this one… what an amazing video… impressing! 👍👍👍😎

I love the way you pie your corners, you clear rooms very efficiently

So glad you're back man, literally when I first started watching I was in a tough spot mentally and over thinking tons of stuff. Your videos kept me company and best of all happy! Thanks for such great content Sour

Simply amazing. What a Impressive way to bring us this adventure. The music, the map and the challenges were perfect. Thank you Sour and thank you Stephan!!

I’m a casual dayz player and occasional video maker. The amount of time and effort that must have gone into this is insane. Great job. All I can do is say thank you for the epic 1 hour of entertainment

That was a captivating piece of storytelling! Props to Stephan/Steffan 🙌

Thanks for the upload, love your channel! Edit. Very “Last of Us” vibes with your music, I cannot wait for your new videos when they drop. I love your videos bc they make me think of the few times (like tonight) that I’ve managed a 3v1 squad wipe when I’ve been playing solo and realize that you do that all the time. And you make it look easy. I’m a lowly PS4 console player and tonight I managed to wipe an entire 3-man squad at Myshkino tents. They ambushed me and somehow I prevailed. Quite a few too many beers in I decided to log on and play a little bit. I was lucky, tanked a few rounds before locating the shooters, used the AK to unload and wipe em out, somehow managed to flank the third and get lucky to get him too. Only damage was that I almost ruined my plate carrier and helmet, but otherwise held on and stayed alive. Moments like this are why I will never stop playing this game. DayZ is such an awesome game. Shoutout to how hard it is to master this insanely difficult game, on stream, making it look easy. You are a total pro dude.

Dude that was so entertaining to watch! So glad you made it back from that fall!

You have a very positive tone of speech during even the most violent encounters on Dayz, even when some random person rip out your internet cable you seem calm 😂👌

45:50 That switch over to the MW2 Theme music soon as the door opened and he zoomed in was amazing

RIP Stephan, he will never be forgotten.

Dunno if this works in Day Z.. but if Stephan respawned ... I like to think he heard that alarm and had a smile on his face thinking “he made it”. 😂 Just passed the 54 minute mark where he tries to radio him again :’(

This game, this map, your storytelling, your editing, man.... what a ride :) So good! Brings me back to all the drama I had in this game back in the early days, maybe time to revisit this game soon

I didn’t know you streamed on twitch ! Definitely going to watch you live from now on! Love the content

Love watching you play man. Can’t always make it to the streams so I watch these when I can. Also, nice touch adding the MW2 lobby sound.

Man, that was intense! I'm so thankful for people like you that upload these video's. I got to experience something, in a game I might never play, that was truly awesome. Even if I do end up playing the game, I likely would never be able to make it to that bunker. What a fantastic video. The thing I like about this game that Rust does not have is that death really means something. It makes a huge difference and because you can't just spawn back in, making friends is important, and that adds depth to the whole experience.

Recently got back into DayZ after a 5 yr hiatus. I got into PC gaming because I saw the Arma 2 DayZ mod back in 2011 and me and about 7 friends built PCs to play it. I still think the mod was better than standalone but man gettin back on DayZ brings back some nostalgia. Its so intense. At any point your life could be ended and I love friendly encounters. You never know what you are gonna get. There could be hours of slow, uneventful gameplay but then there are those moments you remeber for years to come. Just found your channel yesterday and Ive watched a few vids now. Great stuff!!!

The way you meet and interact with other players is very special you have a kind and gentle way of working together when you’re not murdering them from a mile away lol

Sour what an adventure this video entails. The storytelling and PVP was amazing. Watched the whole hour video in one sitting man keep up the quality videos much love man.

I just bought DayZ on Jan 24, 2023 as a result of seeing it on sale for the Lunar New Year. I have played Tarkov and Rust in the past so I was already used to not trusting anybody I encounter as I traveled. I don't really understand the crafting mechanics in DayZ so figured i'd check out KZfaq to see if there were any guides. I had watched a couple DayZ video prior to this but decided to get side-tracked and click on this video. As a player that has only 3.5 hours into DayZ, I have to say.....Thank You. This video is a masterpiece. The way this video was able to suck me in and divert the world's problems away from me for an hour left me speechless. Stephen added a whole aspect to the video I didn't expect to see after having played Rust/Tarkov for years. It shows this community can have heart to heart interactions and true friendships form as a result. As soon as you found out Stephen had been shot, my heart sank. It was a rush of emotions that I was not prepared for. I hope you continue to produce content such as this one because you've gained a new subscriber. Thank you Sour.

I think this the definition of “maybe the real treasure, was the friends we made along the way”

That was brilliant. Well worth the wait, and well worth your time spent editing. We did enjoy. Thank you.

Wow, I was on the edge of my seat through the whole of this! Amazing content, I heard you on twitch explaining you like to take your time and improve the content and this has blew it out the water, amazing work, definitely the best watch I’ve had in a very long time. Can’t wait to see you back online! Hope you’re well. Harley 🤩

Discovered this channel some time ago but subbed today (idk why) And i must tell that dayz stlories are on another level

The content is fire 🔥

I haven't played dayz since the arma 2 mod version but still love to watch this

so satisfying watching you take out zombies left and right so quickly and efficiently.

Stephan: *unalives* SS: I’m so sad… let’s go!

SNARKY COMMENT 😂

This is so silly, but anyone know the song beginning from 43:57? Soursweet puts together the best soundtracks for his videos and I wish I could find some. Tried searching the lyrics I could just make out, and even listening apps but due to the dayZ sounds they can never pick it up hahah.

"So if you fancy watching a life" @ 00:21 is the best Twitch call-out that I ever heard.

10:57 "hey baby some cable we gotta take this for money" "Ye thats good lookin' man"

Hey Sour, Just got my high end gaming pc on Saturday and it'd be awesome to join in one of your adventures, love your content and paths you travel

Dude love the fact you used the 21 Will Pacquin guitar on this. This is such an old video you probably won’t see this, but I love the way you put these stories together man. Keep it up

Dude your editing is so clean and so pleasing as a viewer. This is always the most calming, but also the most intense content. Appreciate the work brotha

Amazing storytelling, thanks so much for what you do!

You never disappoint mate! Another awesome video and R.I.P Stephan

Bro we were emotionaly invested in Stephan. That was a movie scene wow!

This was a amazing episode!. Stephan was just a total stranger but you both managed to create a friendship out of nothing. There was nothing preventing the both of you from shooting each other in the back. I'm relatively new to this game and the trust factor in this game is awesome. Because it's so fragile. I just love it that the mechanics of the game encourage making friends, but in a way that keeps the trust on a knife edge. The more you play alongside a new ally the more your trust develops. A very well crafted game. I hope you managed to find Stephan later on in the real world and share your experience. Great video dude, you got us emotionally invested and it was awesome!

Out of all things, that wolve at 55:45 scared the living hell out of me. Great video and rip stephan

This video is better than most movies that come out of hollywood. You sir did a phenomenal job.

The luck at 43:37... like omfg! 😂 I bet he was so confused and pissed

Hey it's me stephan!! Thank you for letting me play with you, this was very fun.

Sour, you really inspire me. I caught myself more times than I could count with my jaw dropped to the floor watching this cinema masterpiece. Also, the fact you added music into this from the 2009 MW2.........you have me as a fan for life.

After making moves to not get a teammate whatsoever: "Looks like were going Solo this time" Man youre awesome :D

it really hit me at 54:10 when you opened up your radio and said “Hello…Stephan..?” Hoping for a response. Actually shows how good of a person you are in real life.

I've watched many hours of your vids. I came back tonight for your beautifully calm voice. Please keep talking.

These are so well made, very cinematic in the editing of like names and stuff.

Think this will be my forever favourite episode. Music and everything fits so well, 3rd time watching this and that moment you walk over Stephen’s body hits me hard every time

The OG Modern Warfare 2 music at the oil rig. Nice touch!

34:00 it's so funny seeing you peek over his shoulder for some reason

32:06 damn... The editing and immersion is on point.

what a story! never played DayZ, im a Tarkov player, but man! this got me gripped!!! great content.

that moment in the video where it zoomed in for a slow second and stephen laying on the beach dead

Must be the most quintessential day z moment to survive incredible feats and journey only to die / break your leg to stairs

I like to think, that when Soap tried to reach out to Stephan in the bunker via the walkie Talkie…that he was still in a kind of denial, hoping that Stephan would respond, his buddy still kicking butts and Talking before shooting. Actually missed him in the bunker with Sour

Anytime I have a friend just getting into DayZ I always recommend your channel. I’ve learned a bunch from watching you play. Thanks for the new video Sour! Hope you feel well soon.

46:52 cleanest transition ever

this...this is a vibe? like genuinely this is really calming

48:26 That whole Vault door and setup reminds me so much of Fallout

I cant believe how quality is this! These videos really show you actually put effort in these videos, Keep it up Sour!

Love what you do sour! I'm always taking away by the adventure and stories you make. I'm always waiting to see what comes next. Absolutely the best videos! Love what you do man. Keep up the great work 👍
