How Infestation: Survivor Stories Failed

The MMO formerly known as War Z is now titled: Infestation: Survivor Stories. It is one of the latest games to breach the trend and start something new. It is a survival horror MMO that plunges players in a zombie world, but one the developers have merely hyped up.

Umm because it was a quick greedy cash in on a somewhat popular game mod, that was horribly mismanaged by artists who could barely draw a stick figure so they stole most of the assets and management so corrupt it would make Dick Chaineys skin crawl?... Just a few reasons of the top of my head.

blackmanone3933d ago

You had me until "management so corrupt it would make Dick Chaineys skin crawl" I realize that you're joking, but comparing him to one of the biggest crooks in American history is a little lopsided.

But all in all, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Fireseed3933d ago

I know it may be seen as extreme for some haha but I've worked for someone who's solution to covering up how bad a game is by simply renaming it and re-branding it. Maybe not to others but to me it is the most vile and disgusting way one can treat their consumers.

I wouldnt be too hard on the artists as Titov was running the show, undoubtedly like some old world communist prick. I would highly doubt Titov would pay them any "overtime" for any extra efforts.

Just imagine for a second, the joining of the infamous forces of Randy "the Douche" Pitchford and Sergei "the Russian Pig" Titov.....
Together they could engineer the greatest scam to ever grace the gaming world! They would be an unstoppable hybrid! No financial institution in the entire world would be able to contain their combined wealth! I would pay to see it and all of the idiots who get in line for it(and there would be SO many too). Oh! What a glorious day it would be!

It ripped off the code from DayZ.
It was only made to make a quick buck.

Just never buy this game and everything will be hunky dory!

itspeaks3933d ago

Saw that coming a mile away.

Bonerboy3933d ago (Edited 3933d ago )

No mention of that pompous, lying, subhuman, insulting Russian pig, Sergei Titov? This slimy, unscrupulous dipshit should be taken to a field and shot, slowly/repeatedly, from the feet on up. Or a sledgehammer at the very least before being buried still breathing. Oh, in a perfect world....

I didnt give this bastard one penny and its a shame that people were just too impatient to wait for the reviews on this one. The red flags were there, and there were SO MANY too. I suppose consumers were just too stupid and lazy to actually take whole 1 second to notice them. Dumbass born every minute and good ol' Sergei is there to dupe them all.

Even if this made GoTY, this worthless piece of shit has been more than reason enough to keep my wallet tightly closed and far far away from not only this supposed "game", but everything else he has his little rat claws into as well.

E.T. for the Atari 2600. I'm never going to forget falling into those pits over and over and over and over again. So annoying

Neonridr1862d ago

I mean given the technical limitations of the 2600, ET isn't a terrible game per-se. But it does a horrible job of explaining just what the hell you are supposed to do.

Superman 64 on the other hand has zero excuses.. it's just a flat out terribly made game.

TheHateTheyGive1860d ago

This crackdown 3 should be in that list for taking seemingly forever only for the finished product to look like a 360 game with hdr. crackdown 3 by far is the worst AAA game this gen. How did Microsoft botch a chance to show off the power of the X with this garbage?

SuperSonic911860d ago

Link: The Faces of Eviland Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon should be there too.

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.

Best to be Cautious of Wild West Online

Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "If you've seen or heard of Wild West Online you might be rather excited as the trailer looks interesting and the idea of the game is promising. That being said, be very cautious of this particular game as there's a certain history behind it that one should take into consideration before even thinking about this game."

Oh yeah, I just see this as another one of those shitty F2P titles set in the Wild West. I can guarantee this will be no different.

cartoonx12479d ago

it's not just that, it has ties to a developer that has a history of making unfinished games and abandoned when gets enough cash and thn start another project. also the trailer on youtube has comments disabled, forum mods are deleting any negative comment about the developers.
its not looking good even if ignore f2p.

MrCrabPuss2479d ago (Edited 2479d ago )

The devs REALLY shot themselves in both feet when allowing any ties to their game be related to, or influenced in any way, no matter how inconsequential, to that fat fucking manky prick of a Russian pig cock Sir-gay Tit-off. Do they not know how fickle gamers are? Those of us who have more than half a brain will cautiously distance ourselves from this possible shit heap.
I was anticipating this game until hearing this.... I'll wait and wade into reviews and gossip etc 6 months after its release to see whats what..if its even still around that is.
