WORST ZOMBIE GAME EVER !
I hate everything about this game,maybe if it wasnt a zombie game i wouldnt but its supposed to be.

1. the ONLY PC character. according to the story hes suppose to be some spec ops guy, Unfortunatly at no time during the game does he ever feel like it, within 2 minutes you get your first look and after failing a basic para jump he gets surprised by 3 melee chars, at that point once surprised instinct/reflex take over and those guys should have been dead esp since hes carrying a gun, but no he acts like he was a bank teller a week ago and this was the first time hed been in a fight,

That is basicly how the entire story plays out, at no time did any experience or past knowledge taken to get into any spec ops programe ever come to the surface with his actions/reacttions. Lame ♥♥♥♥.

2. zombies suck, the run of the mill zombies are now all from krypton they have super human well everything really, what makes it worse is the poor implementation of the animation system they use for them, aslong as your in range when an action starts nothing you do can avoid that acion being finished most of the time,

basicly same for NPC chars that arent zombies too, they can string 3 actions into one process which happens immediatly, by that i mean a NPC with a knife can parry/dodge my melee atk while moving/jumping and power ak in the time it takes me to swing once, even when those chars are no longer faceing me when i see their atacks im still getting hitt from all sides, which means melee combat with more than a few ends badly most of the time.

Its also more frustrating than anything else and in a zombie game i want to feel like a bad ♥♥♥♥ but more often than not my only recourse is to run like a little girl.

Special zombies aint that special really afer the first insance, excep for the night stalkers who seem to be immune o fire dmg, after 1-2 molotoffs they should be a pile of bones as the flesh would be burnt off and with no siniues to hold eveything togehter they would fall apart, but they take 4+ dbl barrel shot gun blass to slow down, all the while not even reacting to the massive blows they sustain they should atleast change direction when a big rebar gets thrown at them but they allways for me just ignore it or they move faster than bullets left/right and dodge.


Basicly not what im looking for in a zombie game either, and that parkour style is fine UNTTILL i cant climb a fukn lamppost or get stuck by something i could hurdle in my sleep, or climb up and over just to fall to my death because theres no way to grab unless you see the icon saying press b lol, the fact theres no way to drop down is even a bigger oversight.

The biggest thing tho is the fact that at no time while playing did i even care if i saved anyone or did this or that, even dieing TBH didnt care accept it meantt i had to run somewhere again, well i tryed to finish the game just so bioshock infiniste would still be the only expensive game that i couldnt force myself to keep playing. but gave up on the way to tower to fight raise but i just cant be bothered trying to get there so will be deleting this horrible excuse for a game.

EDIT: unsubbed from thread because i dont care about this game certainly wont be wasting another second thinking about it.

Wouldn't say it is the worst zombie game ever, but it is definitely the worst launch in recent memory. Have fun with the QTE ending btw.

Perhaps you are not good at it. I have the best gaming time of my life. Playing as a hunter is also great fun, but also as a human chasing them.
The parkour is dope as it was in Mirrors Edge and even better.
Also what I love about this game are the Side quests.
For the first time in gaming history, side quests are NOT boring, you dont feel that frustrating grinding tiredness. They are also rewarding as a story to tell (There is drama, humor etc.) and they got good item reward system aswell.
Every place in the map might have some great reward. Which makes you wanna go and scout EVERYTHING :)
Even saving people, gives you nice upgrades for your weapons.
So... you can't climb a pole and you get anrgy >.< maybe you should go play 2d point 'n' click instead :P

I never said i wasnt good at i, just that it was boreing and a chore just simply trying to motivate myself to actually care, BTW grats on picking on that one point, ofc you never asked yourself why in a so called parkour syle you are limited to certain things, which was my problem, devs just being lazy instead of having to think themselves they just remove options till player finds the right path.

I don't see why he should obviously be acting like a spec ops soldier. His job was to be undercover. Even still, military training isn't instructed to combat infected zombies. I don't know why you would have such a hard time with zombies. It sounds like you are actually bad at the game. Improve weapons handling so you don't get so tired, learn to use your dodge if you're getting hit, get some decent weapons maybe. At this point I can one hit most anything and the handling is high enough that I don't really run out of stamina. Got bored and cleared out Infamy Bridge earlier.

Yea OFC they sent a spec ops secratery into a zombie zone my bad, reflexs are jus that, you cant turn them off and the first meating is with 3 melee chars and he has his gun, good reading skills.

I don't think any set of reading skills would be able to decypher your inability to formulate a coherent thought.

i cant be bothered reading all that, but on other notes i cant even start the mother fu cking game!

1. He's undercover, he's infected and he's not Arnold Schwartzenegger in Commando... He's getting by by upholding the image of a fellow survivor.

2. The zombies are not super strong, you're just mortal. Maybe you should try speccing in survival skills and not in stuff that looks like it can do a lot of damage. Another thing is you don't have to fight every zombie you see... With only the Vault Skill you can keep on running and running and running... Pick your battle 2-3 zombies are easy to dispatch a horde is something you run away from!

Use your surroundings kick 'em into the spiked barrels throw firecrackers into oil and set 'em ablaze... if you think they are super strong you really haven't figured out how to fight em...
