Negative reviews?

[StuckInWashingMachine]

Thinking of getting this game but saw the overall score. Was wondering if the negative reviews are just because of Australian problems.

Very few of the negative reviews actually talk about the game.

That's what i mean, i would have to shift through all the personal entitlement and personal hatred. Nothing objective about the game. Would like to know something worth knowing to justify a purchase for a game that im genuinly interested in, due to be deprived of good single player / coop shooters.

If you never tried it, it's a great game. It's super well optimized, graphics are gorgeous, shredding zombies with your gun feels amazing, progression system is addictive and missions are cool for my taste.

Of course the steam launch is a cashgrab, but 40 for all the package is a fair price. If you want cheaper yo have lots of verified code sellers that sells aftermath close to 50% discount anyway.

Basically if I live in NA and play with KB&M the game is golden

The analyzes are very interesting, I'll go over what the guys are complaining about the most:

1° - Support for more joysticks for the game, which is a very good thing, because not everyone uses the Xbox controller.
2° - More servers from other regions, which is something very good for everyone, because it's a game that has a lot of zombies and lag gets in the way.
3° - Host Locally makes the game private, the person who should choose whether to make it private or public, something similar to Left 4 Dead 2.
4° - The rats in this game are extremely powerful, which is a funny thing, many are nerfing him, hahaha.

These are problems that everyone should pass on to the Developers, I've done my part in passing these problems on to the Devs, and I try to help all of you. What I'm sad about is that many are irritated by these issues (and they are rightly irritated), but when a patch comes up that fixes these issues, they forget to change the analysis, thus giving the impression that the game is crap . Other reviews are unfounded because they argue about the Base version and the Deluxe version, which had already warned about their content, but some people don't pay attention.

The game isn't bad, it's a lot of fun to be honest, and if you play with friends it's even better. I have it at Epic Games, and I'm thinking about taking it to STEAM.

Read through the negative reviews and you'll find many, if not most, are due to controller woes, regional servers or simply people who didn't bother to read up on what Aftermath is.

The game is just fine and a lot of fun =)

It blows my mind how you always... always... always give absolutely wrong misinformation.

No.
The reviews were never good. Within the first 30 mins of the game being out on Steam it was mixed. I was there and got to enjoy the Steam maintenance Tuesday that brought the servers down for over an hour not far after release.
Why? Issues with controllers and no regional servers for certain locations.

Then it was tons of 'Oh this is just WWZ still? I already owned this game why am I paying full price again' because they didnt read the store page.

OP, very little complaints are about Epic.... the large bulk are the reasons I just gave you.
Dont believe me go glance through it yourself, for whatever reason Blast here always gives incredibly misleading and false information every where he goes.

Just glancing 8 are issues with servers/regional.
4 are about controller.
3 are about buying the same game over again and not realizing it
and a few ones for random different reasons, the people mentioning Epic in just glancing seem to be 'game worked great there now X issues' or 'Y issues still exst'

I personally love the game, for $40 you honestly get a lot of content and a really fun experience. If you are unsure, watch some reviews.

The game no have servers in SA...

From what I'v read, around 50% of the negative aren't valid ones, and the 50% left are legitimate issues like lack of regional servers or controller support,but there aren't any game breaking bugs or anything of that.I played it on playstation a while back and now I can play it again with better graphical fidelity.

They released the same game but relabeled it with more content on it; and pass it as a new game rather than expansion.

its one of the reasons. ive heard that controllers arent working, people are weird as they downvote simply because its on steam "wellwell look who came crawling back" we already knew it would come to steam eventually but it released on epic as a timed exclusive so idk wtf they are on about. some are mad about the price increase they put day 1. there are plenty of things to be angry for tbh, more than i though. but the game is good and if you have friends to play with then i recommend it. it wont last as long as l4d as it has no modding tools but its still good for a while
