The War Z Video Review

The WarZ got the entire gaming community to hate them right off the bat for two simple reasons. 

1.They had the nerve to name the game after the highly respected and beloved Dayz

2. They were too anxious to get the game out the door that some of the features they promised were yet not in the game. Instead they said "coming soon" which steam deemed as false advertising, It was the first game to be pulled from steam

These two factors basically summoned a SH**STORM of hatred towards the war z team amongst the gaming community.. And you can't really blame people for getting angry with the warz team either...Honestly, they should not have been so stupid to honestly think those actions would sit well with the gaming community.

Ok Here is where the sad part comes in.. Since we are all humans there is most certainly "pack mentality" where everyone naturally follows the general opinion/consensus of what everyone else thinks about something.. So although there are many people who have never actually experienced the War-Z for themselves, It has already been pre-programmed into their heads by the community that WAR-Z = BAD GAME and that they should hate it at all costs..  

If a product is blown up with hundreds of advertisements and made to seem soo superbly amazing like bioshock infinite for example, than people are going to  LOVE IT NO MATTER WHAT!! People need to learn how to try out a game for themselves and to come up with their own opinions without falling for the distractions/preconceived notion created by the general public... Even before games are released it is put into place by the community that this is a game we should love, or this is a game we all must hate.

I have come to the conclusion that all the gamespot reviewers are extremely bias and rate games based on these preconceived notions.. Which is the last thing a reviewer should be like.. A true reviewer who approached this game with a clean-slate and an open mind (and was not instructed by the rest of the world to hate the war-z) would probably find a lot of good in the war-z.. It is just sad that a reviewer could open up a game with the intention to hate it as much as he possibly can

First off when i opened up the  WarZ i saw a very simple and user-friendly interface. I also noticed the various graphic settings and features in the options menu. Also the detail of the player creation menu was fantastic, they actually showed the character you can customize rendered in real time.. Than i was really surprised to see the extremely neat server list which were all official WARZ dedicated servers. When you join a server all of them are synchronized to be the same date and time of day in-game. This is something that dayz attempted to achieve at first but simply could not pull off. So than i entered a game and was again pleasantly suprised by the detail put into the world around me, not only were the textures extremely detailed, but there was HDR lighting, ambient occlusion, real shadows.. I was like wow this looks gorgeous.. Not to mention it runs extremely smooth at 60fps through and through without any lag or hitches.. This game is optimized incredibly well considering its graphics, map size and the server capacities.. Everything just seemed like a night and day improvement over the clunky/stiff DAYZ counterpart.. And dayz started out as a 4mb file that added random loot drops and zombie skins over arma2 AI.. Meanwhile this is 6gb of development from the ground up.. I just do not see ANY reason to give this game below a 6.0 even if reviewers wanted to hate it as much as they possibly could.

To say that this review was bias, unprofessional and unresearched would almost be an understatement. This review would make me think there is an underlying resolve rather than a true review here. Although I am by no means defending the game. I played the game since open alpha release and played for several months. It was very buggy and still has its issues. Given the release of "alpha/beta" it would be assumed that is the dev's admission to being problems with the game still giving you the option to purchase and play the game in its current state. But given the standard it seems with developers and buggy games being released these days it is not that far off par. As with most games you need to capitalize on certain things to get ahead, such as server hopping and knowing strategic locations of weapons and using tactical maneuvering for starters.  The running around with flashlights and taking longer than average time to kill zombies is not what actual game play is like if you spend more than a few hours playing the game. The PvP aspect of this game is very strong in any populated server. If you do not wish to PvP simply go to an unpopulated server or a private server, on which you can gain weapons/gear to PvP if you wish. As far as "having" to spend money on this game that is simply not true other than the initial purchase. I would like to think of myself withing the top 10% of "legit" competitive PvP players in the game during my time spent there and never spent anything other than initial purchase. And on a final note the most two serious flaws with this game I have seen is the cheating and the immense overshadowing that will occur when DayZ releases. 

As far as personal opinion and a scale of 1-20 1 being the worst game I have ever played and 20 being the best I would give this game an 11

For gamers interested in this genre as an un-bias opinion I would rate this game 9 of 20 downgrading to compensate for the learning curve that this game functions around currently. 

On a side note, I may have to check out another reviewing site, as they gave this game a 2.0  and Proteus (see link) an 8.0... WOW

ill think ill pass

Wow, this is supposed to be a professional review? "The only way to get a tiny bit of enjoyment out of this game is to log onto a near empty server" He never even covered PvP and Group PvP (the best part) which pretty much makes the review a piece of shit right off the bat. Did the reviewer even use another weapon besides the flashlight? This review is just like any other negative review of this game. The reviewer is terrible at the game, obviously biased and in general it's just a laughably bad review with little coverage. The hate for the devs is so intense that no one wants to hear that it's actually a decent game. The sites are just catering to their fanbase. It's always been like that. If you go and watch/read each negative review you will notice a similar pattern with the things I pointed out above.

It's just another proof positive that metacritic or the blogosphere is by no means always reliable. All I can say is think for yourself. For me, it's the best 15 bucks I ever spent, hands down. Playing with a huge clan and no one can touch us. Hacker problem is being addressed and is better in general. Skill trees are in now. Private servers :D Regular updates and new features. It's only getting better. Don't believe the smear campaign is all I can say, I love this game. I play literally every day and so does everyone in my clan. 

Pretty sad that a bunch of people who never played the game or barely played just sit on the internet and cry and whine about it like little pansies.

This is some lulzy shit

mental this game is in the top 30 on steam not even on sale all publicity is good publicity. 

i guess revelations 2012 is no longer the worst game ever of 2012

I agree with this vid, i have played dayz and warz. I prefer dayz for my own reasons, but regardless of this, here are some facts:

Warz was removed from steam for false advertisement.

Warz copied its EULA from Leauge of Legends, (literally Ctrl C, Ctrl V, edtit some shiz)

Warz sent me an e-mail appologising for poor customer service and execution of the game

they sent this to all people that purchased the game.

Warz has a large percentage of angry hate threads on its forum. Most wanted refunds

Heres a link, check it out. http://au.gamespot.com/news/the-war-z-removed-from-steam-6401770

Everything you said. It was a lie, I do a Review better than you.

Man, you crouch when you running for the Zombies, and you want not be killed ? Seriouly ? Man, stop making Review. Seriouly. STOP! You only speaks of the bad parts of the game. Talk about the Good things TOO. DayZ have no BUGS ? NO CHEATS ? Man, you are so dumb.

THE GAME ARE IN OPEN BETA!! And DayZ have no Cheats ? Ok... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfkKQm_1UUs That why the game have bug. DAYZ HAVE BUGS TOO, YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

since i'm an L4D adept, i'm sure this will be ass whooping. need to pimp my steam account with an extra game!

Rubbish 'game' that should never have made it to release. A true Alpha state construct. I wouldn't have wasted time even reviewing it, and Steam have received so many complaints it has been removed from their store.

I have to say this is one of the most biased reviews I've ever seen.  The reviewer makes several false/unfair comparisons to Day Z.  Lastly, he's terrible at this game.  You get a lot more out of it if you dont hit zombies in the stomach with a flashlight. 

1. You can't buy guns with real money, purchasing stuff doesn't give anybody a major advantage.

2.  The reviewer is absolutely awful at the game, lacks any common game knowledge, and clearly never gave the game a real chance. 

3.  I have been a gamer my entire life, and this is one of the most fun games I've ever played. I almost put it on the same level as Skyrim, as far as just pure fun and time killing ability.

I have been playing this game for 3 months now, and never gotten even slightly bored with it. Sure, at first the hackers were annoying, but they have almost all been banned at this point, and the GAME IS STILL IN BETA. Reviews like this on a great game make me so upset.

hey Brett, Do me a favor and ACTUALLY play the game how it is supposed to be played before you go down talking it. if you actually went around and found guns your would freaking survive. and another little tip is when getting chased by zombies dont run in a straight line noob. one more thing when u hit zombie in the freaking stomache then of course its gonna take 12 hits to kill the dang thing. hit in the head or find hammer that takes 3 hits to kill it. just because u suck at the game dosent mean its bad. go back to hello kitty island reviewing seems like thats what ur good at mate.

This is a bad review on purpose. I believe you either suck at this game or you made it look bad on purpose. The so called "boring game" you talk about, has kept my attention since it came out. I don't think you deserve the position you occupy.

bahahahahah

The writer of this review is obviously mad because he sucks at this game. Maybe if he actually played the game for more than an hour he would actually know something about this game. 

ok so u mad coz u loose gear after death, WELL IT IS FREAKING SURVIVAL ISNT IT? what would be the point to start with some powerfull wepz, it is SURVIVAL, u are easy to die coz u need to watch out coz IT IS SURVIVAL ,players killing orthers is the players fault not the game fault , but it is APOCALYPSE so u need to WATCH YOUR SELF and game is now UPDATED very often , i recomend looking at the forums to see what they gonan introduce in new patch, unless u are too mad to read about uptades, considering how miserable was this review. 

It appears to me after watching this review that the developer had the idea of: lets create a basic platform that requires little or no effort to produce, then make micro transactions the main attraction, after players realize that without it the game is unplayable. And lets face it, their is plenty of idiots out there that will part with £££'s for the sake of an advantage in a game, just for the feeling of being superior.

End result: Hammerpoint Interactive are quids in...

I think some people are playing this game as it was a Call of Duty kind of action shooter. I know its bugged, the animations are horrible and the overall mechanics looks worse than a game reelased 10 years ago. But the point is: it's a SURVIVAL game, NOT a shooter; zombies are lame? Yes. The other players kill you too frequently? Yes. It's basicaly the same game as DayZ. "Oh look, it's better because it's a mod!" C'mon... What about trying to just survive? Grab a couple of beverages and some food, hide inside a shack and try to stay alive as many time as you can, instead of looking for a minigun to shoot everything on sight. Oh, does it sound too boring? Sorry kid, get back to your everyday "pew-pew" game.

Whoa, epic fail.

Yeah! WACK OFF THE ZOMBIES!

"Killed by ASSTITS!" - could you imagine someone's ass as their tits? :/

Dear moderators, please ban @evanwatkins

I feel deeply sorry for any person who has lost money on this.  It is literally sad to me.  I get all choked up thinking about some stupid kid begging his parents to give him money for this POS. 

Still better then COD

why REview a game thats not finished? this should be a preview, and still you shouldnt judge it, coz again... not finished. you could say "dont buy the alpha version, but we will follow up on the game in the future"

Let me see if I have this right: you can buy gear for real money and other players can just kill you and take it? aaahahahaha   Why would anyone play this? 

WTF you have to wait with real time death clock wow i was looking forward to this one what a waste of space why would anyone pay for something they dont control im not gonna be told i cant play my game right now because i died
