If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
^^^^^ He loves you long time.
Remember, the guy they got to do this review isn't a regular staff member here. It would be interesting to see some of his other MMO reviews, if there is any.

Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
If this guy would get to critical with the major titles, they probably wouldn't let him review them for this site anymore.
Remember that guy who wrote a negative opinion on SWTOR while the rest of the staff was celebrating it?
Kind of sad that this is one of the few games that MMORPG.com was allowed to be brutally honest with. MMORPG isn't getting any income from The War Z, and everyone else on the internet is bashing The War Z as the "in thing", so it's a very safe review to lather with insults and mockery.
Later, MMORPG can refer to this review when accused of making biased reviews, and show all their readers that indeed, they are not biased. They bashed a game and gave it a shockingly bad score when everyone else was doing the exact same thing.
More like people don't understand the new genre coming out, also this review has a lot of lies that I already pointed in another post up there yet no one commented my post because they know I'm right and I only stated facts. The review is biased and full of lies that is all.
The review is actually quite accurate. I'm not entirely certain how you can say that it's not or defend this game or its developers. It is a very badly made game and the developers sought to cash in on the DayZ craze by trying to beat the DayZ standalone to market. I think the funny thing here is that the utterly fraudulant The War Inc has actually bought DayZ stand alone all of the time the developers need to make that game something really special. Instead of trying to rush to compete with The War Z, the devs for DayZ have the total luxury of saying that their game will be released only when it's ready. That's not something that would have happened without such an utter failure as War Z trying to beat them to market.

That guy wasn't let go because of his negative SWTOR review, it was because of some of the comments he made. I can't remember exactly what it was but I do know he acted like a tool.

That's why almost everyone is "hating" on The WarZ.

"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..."
Reply: Mortal Online Released, June 9th, 2010. [2-Years 8-Months Ago] As time goes on so does the criteria, although Iv never heard of War-z being compared to a game like Mortal Online. The War ZERP is terribad, period. Nothing more to say.
Yes, that was "the official" story.
What's the real story, then? Does it involve black helicopters?
I remember reading what the guy wrote and thinking "yup, I can see why they let him go". I wish I could find it but I can't be bothered to right now.

Error: No Keyboard Detected!
Press F1 to continue......
Did it ever occur to you that the reason "everyone" was bashing the game was because it actually does suck? No, that cant be it...
I'm so sick of the people compairing Day to War, and saying, well, both games are buggy, both have hackers galore, I dont see why all the hate is directed at War?
The reason why I love the Day (outside of the obvious reasons like full loot and perma death to name just a few) is because of Rocket. He made a mod that he wanted to play and enjoy with his friends. The game got popular from word of mouth and keyboard, no advertising, no lies, no bullshit about what the game could do and then did not deliver.
That, and if you watch vids and read blogs about Day you can see how passionate Rocket is about his game and the community. He actually gives a shit, and we as gamers respect that. Its fucking refreshing. Hes an underdog. So most are willing to be patient for the standalone and still enjoy the mod. And I will buy the standalone as well as the 40 core in my clan, its called loyalty.
And then you have the tools at War. The lies, the deciet, the obvious money grab, shitting on the community, selling ammo for christsake. Saying shit like " this game has been in development for years".. What utter horseshit. Fucking liers, all the way around.
These dicks got what they deserved. But their still laughing all the way to the bank, ripping off Rocket, and fools who dont bother to do any research on what they spend their money on.
As for me, I did not spend a dime, I play Arma.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
It all comes down to causation. I think there could well be a semblance of truth in Den's remark. However, imo it deserved its score.

I'd equate it more to a classic forum dogpile, one negative statement (the Big Dog), and lots of eager "Me Too"s.
We've seen it before, many times. Nothing is quite so much happy fun time for a crowd of gamers.Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
To be fair there is a general backlash against cash grabs and mis-selling.

Ok I haven't played the game but after reading the review and looking at the score and comparing it to other reviews/scores on the site I think you have swung way to far in the other direction from the usual positive outlook. The score of 1.whatever when compred to the other review score would lend me to believe that this game barely installs and when it eventually does you find out it's not a game but some kind of malware that after replicating itself via mailing itself out to everyone on your mailing lists then proceeeds to melt every one of your computers components before making it explode wiping out the entire neighbourhood.
Right now it merely looks like your basicly only willing to be mostly positive to those companies/games that might potenially buy add space on the site (and I don't usually buy into such theories) while if a game seems to not offer the site much in terms of revenue then it's fine to be "brutally honest". In my opinion if you were being "honest" then a score around the 3 or 4 mark would of sufficed to mark this as being a terrible game and kept your journalistic integrety intact and actually make your site stand out from the rest of the MMO reviewer pack. But now you just look like a bunch of sheep who follow all the other sites piling on and kicking a game when it's down thus leading me to lose faith in your reviewing process.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
There is nothing more dangerous than a true believer.
Perhaps because this game richly DESERVED to be rated so low? Ratings by their very nature tend to be subjective. I don't come here for people to do my research and thinking for me. If a game looks interesting, I do my own research on it, and then decide if its worth my time. Thats something *everyone* should be doing.
