This is where i have such a HUGE problem with the way these guys are selling the game. Their words and screen shots are so misleading. Taken from their description of the game on Steam... "A Huge Persistent World: The War Z is an open world game. Each world has areas between 100 to 400 square kilometers." So.... are there more than one world or what? Is it in planning? 100-400 sqkm? does that mean one world is exactly 100 sqkm? "Up to 100 Players per Game Server" What???????????????? One of the most important of all imo, "Single Purchase, Downloadable Client with ability to play the full game without subscriptions or requiring in-game transactions" There are plenty of people on the WarZ facebook fanpage shit-talking "fanboys" and people disgruntled with their warZ experience. One of the common thing these bashers say is (paraphrasing) "you BOUGHT the alpha and beta, NOT THE GAME, you knew what you were buying". I'll just copy and paste a post from a fan straight from facebook. "Damon Wolf Always the fucking same with these idiots, because your post shopping experience didn't blow your tiny little mind you moan. You were told, you would be stress testing a game in a near state of completion. You were not made to buy early access, you were given an opportunity to help the dev team fix stuff while it's being played, and happen to have bought the full game already. Why didn't you wait? Wait until all this was dealt with, then buy your copy, and play the full thing? YOU failed to research, YOU thought you would be getting a head start in the game, YOU are to blame. The only scam here is that the dev's should point out you may be entering games full of plebs who do not like being shot, and often say hacker like it's a rape alarm!" I totally disagree with these people, because it is not advertising early access or anything. It advertises the full game, with updating patches. "No Classes, No Levels, No Caps: Create your own survival campaign, gain experience points and spend it to learn dozen of available skills" There are definitely no ways to allocate your experience points atm. Sure it COULD be implemented in the future, but it's false advertising. WarZ Steam Here it is for yalls to take a good look for yourself. At this point I'm not even bashing the game itself, i'm bashing how shady its makers are. Edit: I just took a look on reddit, and it seems everyone was already on this before me.  At least people are wising up a bit! | ||

Agh... according to this interview the game has been fully released today. This is no longer a matter of alpha/beta discussion, they released it today. It is clearly stated in the last answer of the interview if you don't want to read it all | ||

If business ethics matter to you, though, perhaps you won't want to buy this game. This is all hilarious to me XD Edit: as this is now an official release I'll rate solo 6.5/10, group w/o skype 7/10, group w/ skype 8/10. | ||

Take my advice as a pinch of salt, because I have never played day-z or war-z, but people like you can still make objective decisions. I am a fan of coop, so I have been following these games for quite some times, I've heard many reports about war-z, mostly bad, but ignoring most of these reports, just look at statistics and history of the company. The amount of people complaining are staggering, sure we have people complaining about dustin browder here and there, but the accusation and unhappiness being throw around seems to be totally different level. It is normal that certain business decision will piss off some people, but when so many are complaining, it's easier to tell whose in the wrong. Before they were working on war-z, they made another game called war inc. they've pretty much ceased support to that game and devote all their attention to war-z, it does make me worry to buy an incomplete game. If the company has bad support history, I doubt they'll change over night. If you check their official forums, everything you see is positive, all the comments, discussion. It's pretty obvious something dodgy is going on. It is norm people complaints, people do it here on TL too, it is perfectly normal. But when they remove all the complaints, the feedback people gave to their games, you know they aren't taking gamer's suggestion seriously. That is often a sign for bad game. Based on these observation I would refrain myself from buying this game at the moment. It's best to wait and see. | ||

I'm not even basing this on my general opinion of the gameplay itself (haven't played it), like I said, it's the general consensus of this game. | ||

Any games that are looked interesting appeared on Stream always become top seller automatically, unfortunately those are the people who doesn't do research. | ||

I bought and play the game for about 2 months now and while I enjoyed my time playing it I do have to agree that some screenshots are definately fake. Staged to make the game look better then it is. There are no zombies crawling, zombies dont grab on to you trying to bite you. While some screenshots are faked, some aren't. You can get a horde of zombies on you if your not careful. While it is still in Alpha now, whose to say that some of the stuff they showed wont be implemented in the future? None of us can actually. All any of us can do is wait and see how the game develops and when or if it does. In the future if things people have been saying about the game becomes "Fact" then you can call it a scam. For now, make your own decision on what you want to do. All I know is that I bought and played the game for some time and that I enjoyed my time playing it and will continue to play it as they continue to update and add in things. If they don't then well thats 20 bucks I can't get back but its only 20 bucks. Oh well. | ||

i guess its because its really cheap. only 11€. You can barely do something wrong then. but i still enjoy dayz from time to time and i dont feel like its necessary to buy warz. they might have some more content already and are more arcady but i dont need two games about the same thing especially because both of them are still super unfinished products. | ||
