This War Z is such a rip-off I'd be surprised if it reaches 500,000 sales with an A+ marketing campaign.

I haven't played WarZ...nor do I intend to. DayZ is far superior in terms of community and it was the first to market...which can usually be the best as well in general terms.
Its not HAF bad

Havent tried Day-Z yet, but I have read about it and looked about it and talked about it. Seems Indie to me but thats a good thing. DAY-Z wont lose many fans over this..

Dead Island and various COD games are all over the game statistics for steam still. Sure, Left 4 Dead and CS are higher, but they are both Valve games and are on PC. Dead Island and COD trounce Left 4 Dead and CS by a massive amount on consoles. And how are Left 4 Dead and Dead Island comparable at all besides the fact that they have zombies in them? One is a linear point to point shooter, and the other is a sandbox shooter that is more story based.

That was from Google.
CoD was succesful, and I won't say it's a bad game because it's not.
It has polished and well done game mechanics and very fastpaced simple to play gameplay.
The graphics are also nice, maybe they dothe exact same thing every year but that sells and that is the motive of every company TO SELL and EA has done a great job at selling their items so yes, I would call CoD successful.
All i'm trying to say is that Dead Island is still an amazing game, and so is the CoD franchise.
And the fact that he is comparing Dead Island and L4D when they are two totally different games is pretty ridiculous.

It appears that you do need to google translator over the see. Cod graphics are not good. period. They cannot look good even if they tried because they game is made for consoles not for pc. Unless you are indeed able to say that smoking is good and very successful because 15 billion packs of cigarettes are sold each day, dont even try to defend Cod because it sells alot. Financial profit based on marketing and mindless sheeps who buy the same thing every year does not reflect the quality. Financial success doesnt mean it is an overall successful product if it is not good quality. You should think about the difference first before going "ah you see even google tells what it is how ignorant you are". not cool

You might wanna Google translate some of the blocks here.

I never CoD is the best game to ever be released or that it's amazing, all I said was that it's good.
What's the problem with that? Is an opinion not valid in your eyes.
The graphics are good. It's not great, I never said it was. It looks nice.
It sells a lot because it's polished and people enjoy it? What is so bad about that?
A lot of games are made for Console nowadays does that mean it won't look good on PC?
It looks just fine and runs well on about any PC.
What is the point of arguing about this? There is none. So I will just bid goodbye.

I never said that you said any of these. You are just reflecting because you just got caught BSing. Its not the opinion that is wrong because it cannot be wrong its the ways of which you back you opinion that is wrong.

Would some people mistake "War Z" as something to do with the Zulu war?

I wouldn't say zombie game have been overdone. They just haven't been done right, there's not really a GTA style survival Zombie game - They're aren't any "realistic" free roaming ones that match up to a real world scenario... thumb.gif
