They don't, it's mostly people who don't play the game, thats why I just take it with a grain of salt. If the game was that bad, and that hated by it's players, the servers wouldn't be as active as they are. I post videos up of it pretty often and I been getting subs to my channel off those videos like crazy, and people keep asking for more. So theres a good amount of people out there who like it.



And COD series games usually come in around 3, yet look at their sales. you don't need to buy the game to be a reviewer there, going to be a ton of people reviewing that have never even played. I remember reviewing a COD game like that for shits and giggles once.
yeah we don't play it because it sucks

I'm 20 minutes into the 40 minute review of The Bore Z and pretty much explains how I feel. Game is really shit. Doesn't look any better at all since I stopped trying. And I really don't know how you guys can say the graphics don't suck, because really, they are pretty bad, and the textures are HORRIBLE.

Visually the game is behind but Ive seen plenty worse and the game runs great so I'm not gonna complain too much. Playing in 1st person view and I'm pretty happy with how the game looks most of the time.

I can live with graphics that are 'okay or decent' if the gameplay makes up for it and in this case it does.

...but it doesn't. And that is the problem. And there's absolutely no reason to have PS2 level graphics on a PC game today.

Is it true that in order to respawn, you have to buy a 50 cent token? Or wait 4 hours?

Never heard about the token thing, but it used to be you wait 1 hour and you can play that character again.

Apparently they do. Wow. Just wow.

You can have something like 5 or so characters. when one dies there is now a 4 hour wait to revive. When you die you lose everything so it matters not that you can't load right back in. You just grab another character and jump in with him.

The hardcore servers don't allow you to repawn at all. Once you get killed you have to start over completely.

Both of these features are awesome and add to the game. I've earned ingame credits that I can use to unlock the wait period. I've not had to spend real money. But I wouldn't doubt if they have or will have a micro transaction system as many devs are doing this these days. But everyting you can buy on the market can be found in the game.

Really? Because I'm sure I've owned more PS2 games than you've played. This game looks like absolute shit, even on ultra, and it is stupid to have it look anything like that in 2012. Hell, Arma 2 came out in 2009 and looks much better. So what's the excuse there?

ARMA II has terrible textures. I own all the ARMA games and how in the fuck do you know how many games i've played on the PS2? You don't even know me.

Do you think I'm some teen bouncing around the forums?

Ok this game to me is officially dirty beneath me. They are trying to milk it for all its worth. If I had to pay 50 cent everytime I died in DayZ then I could retire and buy mexico.

Calm down there buddy, don't burst a vessel. ARMA II does not have terrible textures. They aren't great, but they aren't near terrible, and nowhere near as horrible as the ones in War Z, a game that is 3 years newer.

I've said my peace, even posted a picture of Baghdad Bob, I think it's time we leave this thread for people who actually like this game or have initials that are TMM.

No sense in beating a dead horse, or playing the Master_OrHan in this thread, people.

Wow, props to Valve for removing it from Steam. I don't think this ever happened before, but imho they deserve it after the "treatment" they gave to their customers.

If thats your opinion thats great, you stated it, been trolling the thread. The points been made, now let the people who are playing it actually discuss it.

I agree, I'm not here to change peoples minds. But if the thread keeps getting trolled by numerous trolls, I guess I'm going to keep responding to them. I've seen you guys complain about just 1 guy (Mailman) trolling a thread, this threads got 3 - 4 people constantly trolling it, it's just getting old. The thread was dead for al ong time, I know I stopped coming here because I couldn't talk about a game I enjoyed, instead I was stuck arguing about it. And Allen stopped coming here for the same reason. Then some posted that they were enjoying it and it was good for a bit, and now it's back to shit.

Because the concept of an open world survival game is a completely brand new concept, before DayZ it never existed, ever. I know me and my friends been looking for an open world zombie game, and been talking about it for probably the last decade. But technological constraints most likely were the limiting factor, and now we are getting to a point when they aren't. To say that an open world survival zombie game is a concept no one ever thought of is complete crap. The last decade theres been a flood of zombie games, people love them, it's a natural evolution.

And it's a genre moving forward. Notice there isn't just 1 racing game series, 1 fps series, 1 rts series. Go complain about all those genre's and the similar games.

Also I have died a lot more in WarZ than I ever did it DayZ. The last 2 months I played DayZ I died once, and it's because I tried climbing onto that sunken ship in the ocean, which broke my legs and I bled to death. Then Ufgy came to try and rescue me and died next to me. Once I had a good sniper rifle it was pretty easy to not die, and looting towns with sprint was extremely easy as well. It just became boring after a bit, zombies weren't even a factor in the game anymore to me.

Thank you, I just hope others come to this realization. I understand disliking something, and maybe making a post just to get your opinion out there. But this threads now almost 200 posts long and I would say over half of it has to be trolling from numerous people, worse than a green vs red thread. I'm pretty sure I already reported this thread and asked for it to be closed because it just seems so pointless when us that enjoy it can't talk about it without this crap.

Kurgan, I've never played DayZ or WarZ so I honestly couldn't tell ya whats good or bad. However from an outside perspective and no loyalty to either brand I gotta say it looks pretty grim for WarZ. Never see Valve yank a game off like that over protests. If the game was really all you say it was then Valve would have no reason to pull it. Protests or not. Obviously the developer lied or did some shady stuff for Valve to react the way it did. Its just common sense. With that being said good luck with WarZ support and playing the game. (unsub)

So I once again booted it up, and tried it. And this happened (note I just spawned and walked out of the safe zone). I knew exactly what their plan was but wanted to see what was going to happen anyways.



Great community here folks! And note those awesome ULTRA graphics!

I'm not saying the games all of anything. I just enjoy it, and would like to talk about it with others who enjoy it. When I defend a game it's because I find it a fun personally, this is the same assumption that was made in the D3 thread. I'm not saying any game I like is amazing, just that it's fun to me, and want to talk about it with others who also enjoy it. I don't think thats asking too much, like 3+ pages of trolling, I figured by now we'd be able to discuss it in peace for the most part. The game will most likely be back on steam though, there is a lot of people playing, I don't think it looks grim at all, if servers weren't loaded, then I might think the samething.

Not bashing the game or anything, but its warz news nonetheless, http://warzscam.tumblr.com/post/3863...suspended-game, looks like the game will have a to find a new name.

I red somewhere a couple of days ago that Titov finally apologized and fully took responsibility and he promised that things will be very different next year.
