[Megathread] Infestation: Survivor Stories (The War Z)

[Lomak]

Play another character until that ones revives. If people want to pay like 25 cents (I think that is around what 50 GC is) let them, it doesn't affect you. I've been playing since release and I have never had a problem finding enough food/water to keep my meters up. Basically what I'm saying is, the stuff that you can buy does not give you any real advantage.

You think a company is going to allow a thread telling their customers how to get a refund? lol. If you want a refund email the company/steam. No need to make a thread announcing that you want a refund to the world.

Considering it's not against the steam forums rules to inform consumers of their own rights (because why would it be?). You are not making any sense, I actually feel bad for people like you who are so eager to be taken advantage of. This is possibly the most obvious cash grab game that has ever been 'released' ("foundation released" L...O...L). Call it naivety or stupidity, either way it's just a shame that companies like this run the way they do because their own customers allow themselves to be taken advantage of SO EASILY.

It's something that's going to continue we as people can be misleading and greedy.

I hate to sound like a "fan boy" but why does this matter to you? There is no need to spam your hate for the game, voice your opinion but there is no need to insult those that purchased it and play it.

Like every game that has existed and will in the future some will enjoy it while others won't it's as simple as that but insulting people because of their view on it does absolutely nothing.

I will admit I purchased the game to give it a try ($20) and yes I can agree with some points that you and others made but personally I got my moneys worth with around 90 hours played. This may sound like a waste of time to you but it was fun for me and a group of friends.

It sure as hell lasted alot longer than a few bottles of beer and gave me more enjoyment.

[Treeskee]

Will have to agree, Maybe I don't agree with all the practices I've still gotten more than what I spent out of the game and will still enjoy playing it.... Don't really see why people who don't enjoy need to hate on everyone who do, just hurts their cause.

[Kuntantee]

All this mess took my attention. I read through official and Steam forums. I saw some people claiming it was known that game would be feature-incomplete. If that's true, it's can be justification. I didn't play the game but even in videos game looks so unfinished. I was kinda thinking it could be a good game(in future) until I saw the last change of 4-hour respawn timer and real-money for quick revive :>.

Those aren't the only threads being deleted.

I'm sorry, but from here, it really looks like you people bought yourself right into a fine scam. And I've never even played DayZ in my entire life.

Well, the number of threads like that was down from this morning when I checked, so that was my assumption.

I still don't think the game is a scam, just overpromising with marketing and underdelivering (Peter Monlyneux says sup). It's shitty for sure, but I still see a product, which is something that initial conspiracy theorists claimed would never materialize.

And I've neither played DayZ or WarZ, just a casual sideline observer who's taking some glee watching this whole situation.

A moderator shouldn't be taking 'glee' with anything that causes such abrasive arguing and a rift within her own forums. There's another species of forum dweller who also takes glee in chaos, but we wont name those beings.

*cough* WarZ is actually WarInc modded and they charge you "full price" *cough*

Clearly people misread them, what a joke.

"We also want to extend our apologies to all players who misread infromation about game features. "

I would be pissed if I bought it.

At first I thought you were joking lol but then I saw it. His attitude from that post and others that I've seen makes him seem like a teen, it's rather sad he's even allowed to post anything.

Some more funny things from the same guy. "Funny" being subjective I guess, I personally can't help laughing my guts off and feel incredibly sad for any poor sap who acctually bought this game at the same time.

So people actually buy a game where the Steam information page blatantly lies to the potential buyers? And where people get banned for no reason? I mean, that immediately drove me away before I even knew anything about the game, because that seems like a MASSIVE fucking red flag from my point of view. I'm just trying to understand. Do people just ignore that this is happening or are they actually unaware that they're being lied to/scammed?

I'd go out on a limb and say some people enjoy the game regardless and have done enough research to know what's true and what's not.

That actually bothers me a little bit. Steam should manage the descriptions and make sure they only describe things that are currently in the game.

At the same time it was clear that there were a number of customers that felt that information about the game was presented in a way that could have allowed for multiple interpretations.

I don't like the way they're blaming customers for their mistake. Someone should have the sense to realize that the complaints over the Steam page are legitimate.

In other words if you have been some of the few keeping up with the WarZ alpha and beta and still like it, more power to you.

To the people not familiar with it and saw it on top of Steam's selling list and were immediately drawn to its bogus claims, you are S.O.L. Already got your money dude!

FTFY.

And I don't know why anyone would buy this game. Left 4 Dead already did the zombie game best. I watched the little trailer/hype movie on the store page and the game frankly looks like complete shit. Even DayZ with its lousy graphics and jerky animations looks better.

Ouch, bringing up bad memories with John Romero : (

And L4D is a zombie shooter, not a survival sandbox. There's a difference.

[Kuthe]

Luling so hard at that gamespy interview.
What an asshole rep from the developers.
I can say I 100% regret buying this in Alpha.
Pity it's near impossible to play it even though I have the comp specs, but it just chugs oddly.
Don't think mailing them from Aus will get me a refund.

All I see is people running around with guns and shooting zombies. It's a zombie game.

Hardly a sandbox. More like an open world zombie shooter. Or even better, their previous game (War Inc) with modded in zombies and a slighty bigger map.
