Metacritic rating

[KLightningflik]

It's clearly biased, there are far far worse games on steam than WarZ. Ever played Bad rats? Dinner date? Ship simulator extreme?

I'm sure there are bad reviews, but the majority of them just seem to be people hating on the game for existing. Come on, people are voting it a 0??

This game is no A+ title, but it's hardly a bad game. If they took care of the hackers and removed the pay-to-win elements it would be a better game.

[razberrie]

no... the 20 is well deserved and very generous, not to mention it being unanimous from the pro reviewers.... and the 1.4 user score is also well deserved.....almost 3K user ratings..... so yeah....

it is a bad game, period. A bad game built on the shell of another bad game with a bunch of stolen and/or shoddy produced resources thrown in, alongside a racketeering scam for a business model.

they have never gained an edge against hackers in their engine...it is an unsecured mess.... War Z will never be a satisfactorily functioning game.

it is a shame that people are still falling for the misleading marketing.

[KLightningflik]

The game does deserve a low score, but 20? Maybe a 50 at the very lowest.

[rothnarge]

Is it still a mess of a game because even Steam Top Sellers has this game ranked 30? Are people still buying this game?

[TheHeadshrinker]

Yes people are still buying this game and the servers are very busy. It is not a 20/100 game in a million years. The dev's are idiots, most people agree with that, but the game itself is pretty good.

Thanks wont pay full price but I'll wait for sale to get.

What's so good about the game? I played 2-3 hours before I got my refound and during those hours, I saw absolutely nothing that was good about it.

The buildings are vacant and completely square. I've built sandcastles with more variation in them. The zombies keep their stiff arms straight down and run at you. How was I supposed to feel immersed when they do this? Hitting them puts them in some trance-like state where you can't get damaged. Half of the buildings you find are boarded up and unavailable to go inside which means exploration is thrown out the window. I mean, they call the game a "Zombie Survival MMO". I at least expect some sort of freaking exploration. Not running around the square, ugly textured buildings with a few assorted things to loot.

And the worst part is that because of the hackers, everyone keeps saying: "Go to low populated servers". Okay? So then what is the point of calling your game an MMO? All the MMO's I've played involve lots of people in the same area. Not joining a server in which there are 17 people on. Running around in a huge empty map isn't my idea of fun, especially when the game is an MMO.

I mean, what left is there? The PVP? Znooore fest. You can get a better experience playing CS 1.5/CSS/CSGO, at least those game requires a good tactical understanding and how the weapons behave.

[TheHeadshrinker]

Well thousands disagree with you mate. Most of the buildings are accessible so i dont know where you get that from. The game is admittedly a little rough around the edges, but its £10.99. I personally dont think you've played the game long enough to give such an evaluation. I've played 30 hours or so and i've not come across one hacker, and i dont play on private servers. Some games are not for everyone, depends what you look for.

Thousands agree with me as well pal. Check PC Gamer, Eurogamer and pretty much the thousands who voted this game a 0 or 1 on Metacritic. Don't forget the Legends profiles on the official forums who bash this game continously. Several high profile people in the forums have turned around and now hate the game and the developers for what they do. So yeah...

Most of the buildings I came across were either blocked off (The small place with a post office) or empty and boring (The biggest city in the map). Don't forget the unbelivably dull farm/ranch thing on top of the mountain. As well as the small town up north with a prison. Were I and a guy I teamed up with was promptly assassinated by a high powered rifle from someone I couldn't see.

I played long enough and if a game can't hold up a single player trying to play it, how on earth will it stand the test of time? There is literally nothing to do except farm weapons, medicals and ammo. Then go to the safe zone (of which there are countless killers) and hopefully not get killed, drop your stuff and rinse and repeat. Hackers are still rampant, check the official forums, because people are crying out for private servers to get away from hackers. It's not hard to see what is going on with this game.

I am always looking for a zombie survival game. I didn't really like Day Z so I've turned to The Dead Linger, Dead State and Project Zomboid instead. Both of which I have supported with my money and I hope will blossom into something big. I love zombie games but War Z was just a huge kick in my nuts.

I really wanted War Z to be a Zombie Survival game as they claimed it to be. But it was a huge waste of time and money.

your right it doesnt deserve a 20/100 it deserves a 0/100 scamz is crap but hey if people wanna get scammed out of their money thats their choice. dont expect it to stay around for much longer. those idiots think they have permision for it to be called warz still when they dont

[M. Romans]

The game is horrendous and deserves the ratings it received. But to be fair, the game itself could have gotten a higher score if HP has simply released it and said nothing. If they made no promises about features, people would not have been so upset. The 0 ratings are mostly for the fraud that was perpetrated on the early players. The game itself is still bad with many bugs and rampant hacking. By itself, the game deserves a 3 out of 10. Throw in Sergay Titov and the other liars over at HP and thats how you get a 0.

That's like saying there are worse games out there like "Assassinate JFK" "SimHolocaust" and "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing" and that The War Z isn't as bad as them. Basically, what's your point? Bad games are bad.

[Franco]

Trying to defend the undefendable...ok people, but then dont complain that devs treat their customers as nothing.

[NoobSauce]

People are pretty thick headed. What's not to understand that the devs are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the creator is awarded for making the 1# worst game in history, Big Rigs: Off the Road Racing, the devs lied, the game honestly does look like ♥♥♥♥, and lastly some features are actually obviously stolen from other games. Like the Crysis gun modifying system.
