So THAT's the problem with WarZ.
Man 2:
I've been hearing a lot of talk about The WarZ lately, and very little of it has been good. I understand it was recently taken off of Steam by popular demand. I can find nothing detailing just why people hate it so much. What's the problem? Is it just that it's a terrible game?
VincentTheGuy:
It's description lied
It was very similar to another game
people are bitches
The usual.
Mr.jacksaunt:
It's pay to win while also being pay to play.
Nickelob Ultra:
mostly bullstuff advertising:
[*]"400 square km maps" actually 75 square km
[*]"Many maps" only Colorado
[*]"This is version 1.0" is a buggy piece of stuff (bad animations and textures, models sometimes not spawning, zombies berging out)
[*]no tutorial or any real help whatsoever at all unless you have someone tell you how to play (i.e. you start off with a flashlight but there's no real sense of "where do i go? how can i get a gun without getting loving ruined by zombies in this stuffty combat system?")
[*]reminds me, stuffty combat system
[*]charging for microtransactions + the base game itself while still being in an unfinished state
[*]shady business practices by the developer period
let me put it this way, there's a good reason that the game is no longer being sold on Steam
--- Quote ---UPDATE: The War Z is no longer purchaseable on its Steam page. Speaking to Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Valve Director of Marketing Doug Lombardi said the removal stemmed from “prematurely issuing a copy of War Z for sale via Steam.” Further sales are on hold until Valve has time “to work with the developer and have confidence in a new build.” Valve is also offering refunds by filing a support ticket. The game is still purchasable at $15, $25, and $50 tiers at thewarz.com, and playable through the game’s proprietary launcher as well as any already-purchased Steam copy.

Messes:
"250 players" really 70
"MMORPG" Not even close to an MMO, and the whole 'RPG skill tree' is non-existent so far.
