Poor War Z. After all the crap they've gone through just to get the game out there, you'd think they'd make it somewhat interesting and fun to play. Maybe they listened to everyone attacking them and just stopped caring. Who knows? All I know is that this has never seemed like my kind of game to play.

Yeah, it really stinks because I wanted this game to be good so badly... All the press that came out pre launch for the game seemed pretty good, but I think they just pushed the game out too early and relied far to heavily on the micro-transactions which killed the experience to me. It's a pay to win game by a long shot :(

Watching the video made me feel sorry for you guys. And Benjie sounded like he was just having an awful time from the start. XD

How long did it take to kill that zombie dam! Does that happen all the time

ctate19954037d ago

Ha, it was a stretch for him Meta! Was quite humorous to hear him play the game. And yeah, it takes FOREVER to kill the zombies in this game Derekvinyard13.... Even if you actually buy weapons with real money it's still hard... Very frustrating :/

Its actually really fun when there's no hackers and you're not a complete noob.

People need to get off the war z nuts. If you hit a zombie correctly (in the head) it takes about 2 hits to kill. They are constantly updating the game with weekly dev updates in the forum. For 15 bucks... Yes it's an awesome game. Will day z be better? Yes. But to say this game is terrible... Lol you must not have enjoyed fallout or skyrim. I suggest getting xpadder if you like the console feel like I do. Also I have a private PVE server with a good community called "outer heaven" anyone interested friend me on steam. xBigxBossx

Stick with DayZ Boyz and girls.

The executive producer justifies false advertising by essentially saying that gamers are too dumb to pay attention to features, while also having Big Rigs, one of the worst and most broken games ever to be released, on his resume.

It's sad that he really thinks he can get away with all this crap he's spouted. Digibytes has my sympathies in playing this game; no one deserves such torture.

Hated Games That Actually Had Some Neat Gameplay Mechanics

Let's face it, there are some hated games out there that are just complete trash. The developers responsible for these games usually have little clue about game balancing and their poor decisions usually leave their game to die in the dust.

However, sometimes a developer will make an absolutely terrible game that still has some admirable game mechanics.

Top 5 Indie Game Developer Meltdowns

(CriticalIndieGamer) Indie gaming is a serious business these days, but it is sometimes a little too serious for my liking. An industry that was started for fun has become the domain of a few sanctimonious, self-aggrandizing, and downright annoying developers. Admittedly, some small part of me secretly enjoys the controversy courted by these mavericks, so let’s take a look at five of my favourite game developer meltdowns.
