For anyone who doesn't know, quoting Wikipedia on what an action game is: "An action game is a video game genre that emphasizes physical challenges, including hand–eye coordination and reaction-time." Going to the page about survival games, it says "Survival games are a sub-genre of action video games, usually set in hostile, intense, open-world environments."
Again, it's ok to have differing opinions about genres, it doesn't really change much about the game itself. In this thread the OP asked about three (3) specific titles, where DayZ was not included.
