1. I'm so Glad they Disabled Alt-F4!

Now all you bloody losers will DIE anyway instead of trying to Alt-F4 your way outta being KILLED!

2. PRcko you and Brotatoe from Twitch.TV Both must be receiving cash kick backs from Hammerpoint Interactive cause He is playing it constantly and you are on every DayZ post with your Crummy "WarZ is better" post!

It's cool to have an opinion but sorry my man YOU may like Warz better but the MAJORITY of PC Gamers already know DayZ is FAR Superior!

The War Z SUCKS when compared head to head with DayZ. Sucks in every single way except the character customizations (but DayZ standalone will have tons of customizations)

I've played The War Z for several hours and it just totally Blows! I wished and wanted it to be good but it is just Garbage!

Not based on those awful alpha videos I've been watching.

War Z is boring, the combat is horrible and there are never a lot of zombies around. Not to mention the game is buggier than DayZ and I didn't think that was possible.

DayZ Frostline DLC Gets Review Bombed; Dev Says “No One is Forcing Players to Buy It”

DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."

diana45peters198d ago

Yes, I saw that! The DayZ Frostline DLC has indeed faced a lot of backlash from players who feel that the $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.

Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.

It's definitely a heated debate.
