Still i insist on one thing..Yes the game is bad..and Bill kinda tried to justify the comparison between WarZ and DayZ...I have no objection for comparing...but bashing and then PROMOTING another game (''If you’re going to give your money to a zombie-survival game, grab ArmA II and a copy of the DayZ mod, or wait for the full retail version of DayZ to arrive on digital store shelves and check that out. Do not buy into The War Z. '') is a totally different story .

In addittion, if i was a reviewer and followed Bill's words(''That DOES NOT MEAN our writers can't compare one game to another for the sake of reference points, and in this case the connection between Day Z and War Z is obvious'')  then would it be ok if i wrote:

''Allods online is bad go spend money and buy WoW'' (both fantasy RPG-MMO AND a true statement...)

or

''I'd suggest you put your money on Champions Online instead of DC universe''( both superhero mmorpg)

My question to Bill is this : Would this make my statement a REVIEW or an indirect advertisement?

Does the ''badness'' of a game gives a reviewer the freedom to suggest an alternate product of the same genre? I might even agree, especially on this occassion .But who can assure that  one day someone will go full negative on a famous game (like Darkfall-Eurogamer case) and at the same time propose another game (ex. Mortal Online). What would happen then?

Hm, seems a strangely low score. Specially considering games like Mortal Online originally got 6.9, shortly after it was released, and that game was barely functional at that time.

So if this game got 1.7 it must mean it does not work at all? Sorry but this does not make any sense, unless the scores are not comparable in which case they are pointless?

Anyway, I have not played this game so I am sure it is as terrible as being said but something is fishy about this score...

bad f2p asian never get lower that 6 , in fact you have never give anything even the worst game ever something lower that 5 i think .

but you give BAD game high review alot of the time ( im guessing they give big money for that )

and you will make me think this game deserve a 1.2 ?? even if that true , you just TRASHTALK

this game review into the ground , that in no way a professional review . to me you just look like a angry kids who want to trashtalk about a game he dislike .....

i have play this warz game and i agree that TOTALY A REALY BAD GAME and probably deserve a realy low scores , but the problem that because you NEVER give real review and fair review in mmorpg.com website .

for resume , dont realy take mmorpg.com review seriously . someone here probably never got the money he deserved for make the review.... LOL .

I love you long time.

Finds it hilarious how many people in the community were ALL about this game until they added some things to the shop they disagreed with.

Isn't it interesting how they weren't worried about the poor graphics the idea that some total stranger can just kill you instantly permanently without recourse or consequence and take all your stuff, no that couldn't possibly cause problems for players at all! But now that they have a couple items in the store watchout! GASP!

I've agreed with this sentiment about this type of game long before it became cool.

Damn it! I can't belive your actually calling this a rewiev!

If you people at mmorpg are trying to build a serious webpage, this really isnt benefitting you the way I see it. It just show how week and smallminded you are.

After seeing this: http://sv.twitch.tv/weekingeek/b/370161228

This jewel of a rewiev actually makes sense.

Good fn riddance.

I think we can all agree that this is not about the negative review but about the major difference of negativity (as far as NUMBERS are concerned) compared to other MMORPG reviews of ''bad"' games....And about the indirect ''push of a forthcoming title...And taking all these and compacting them into a ''review'' which i personally think was biased...

***And YES the WARZ is bad. If the reviewer thinks that the game  unfinished  beyond playability and can't be even called a game(something about''controls working so here's a point) then he shouldn't even write anything about it...

There are other games out there that deserved similar results but did not get them, they got a lot higher, you got to wonder why?

ok it deserved it

A decent review with some fair points, I most defenitely agree. Nonetheless, it is an MMO which might improve things here and there and I feel that an 1.7 might be a bit too low. Not that I expected a number as large as a 7(Gosh, a 6 would still be generous for an released-alpha) but still :)

But alright, opinions may differ here and there ^^

haha not sure you would have slept with your own idea until someone told you to.  

It's refreshing to see a terrible game getting a terrible review score and not a 6/7 out of 10. I remember growing up with Gamepro and EGM, and when they played a bad game they were never shy about letting everyone know just how bad it was.

Good job mmorpg.com.

ok for those of you old enough to remember the OTHER worst debacle in MMO history...

this VS Dark & light.  DISCUSS.

That is just pure bashing, it's sad in my point of view.

 

I see it this way, everyone is bashing the game so you make this "review" just so everyone can agree on and join the bashing?

 

You are absolutely right!  Lets totally ignore all the other gaming sites bad reviews, lets ignore that the game was removed from Steam due to poor gameplay and flat out lies on the sales page.  Lets totally ignore the stolen artwork, the stolen EULA, the lies from Hammerpoint about skills being in the game and about the game being hack-proof.  Lets also ignore all the videos of the radical hacking of this game on youtube.  Lets just ignore all the FACTS and pretend MMORPG is making this review just to jump on the bandwagon and bash the game.

haha Talon, do you want a medal or a photo opportunity, because you revelled in that?  nvm

edit; sorry that was entirely unecessary.  

"Do not buy into The War Z."

Sums it up nicely.

And on this shit i wasted 50 Bucks...damn, had high hopes in this game and now..seems like it will stay alpha forever^^
