The War Z Hands On | Machinima

Machinima: "Some of my fondest memories are rooted in games that are unforgiving and brutal. With unrelenting mechanics and a laissez-faire attitude toward player interaction, The War Z could set the stage for war stories that you recall fondly years after."

I have been reading a lot of stuff saying that this is just a cash-grab, pay-to-win game that is full of bugs and and poorly constructed.

This isn't my opinion, I haven't played it. It's just what i read. It has been on my radar for a couple months...but i won't be spending a penny til we see some real vids/reviews.

And the most embarrasing of all:

Add the other stuff they did like stealing stuff from other games (Crysis weapon modification UI for instance) and flat out reusing crap ton of assets from War Inc, you can see why people call it a cash grab and why they're right. You can also find a more detailed version of the second pic that shows a lot more of the stuff taken directly from War Inc. The game is a cash grab and nothing more. Anyone who denies the opposite is most likely in denial after paying 20-50 dollars for purchasing the game.

What else did you expect from Robert Trolling, he even lied to COD fans about the last chance perk, that was hilarious.

From the gameplay that has come out so far, it will be hands off for me lol...

Given that this is in ALPHA stage of dev, I find it rather incomprehensible that people are whining about the instability of the game. But that's what happens when stupid bitching kids dont know what they are buying into. But that's what gamer kids do...bitch.
If and when Hammerpoint actually get to the a point of a offering a 'playable' game, DayZ will be on the market and it will be without question, a better game overall right from the start. A far superior engine and a solid base from which to build upon, not to mention some real dedicated talent backing it up will ensure it will mop the floor with WarZ. My money is waiting on DayZ. Can't wait for November/December!

you know what else "gamer kids" do? they accuse everyone else of being kids.

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.
