@buying1999 I'm not one to incite console wars, but on paper, you are correct. This next generation is easily won by the Playstation, with its hardware and exclusives.

Please, for the love of god, no. No. NO. I will deal with this by being as apathetic as humanly possible.

There are really too many negative comments for me to reply to each one explaining the weight of the insults that are so easily thrown towards this guy. You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves. Imagine if this happened to a friend of yours, or even worse you, how differently would you react? A company swooping in and stealing your idea to make a quick buck, with no one in mind but themselves (War Z does not care for its players, it is hacker filled and with a scam of a micro-transaction shop) should not be seen as just another day in the gaming world. This is a guy who made a mod that was inspired by his real life encounters in the New Zealand Army, and gamers have distanced themselves from the idea that games are an art, and their developers artists. Hammerpoint had no right to steal Hall's idea, and I don't know how they would sleep at night if their product was the reason of any negative views towards either Day Z or Dean Hall himself. The fact that they have done this and the gamers that Dean Hall was proud to consider himself a one of, are taking the side of the corporation that took his art and slapped a different name on it, lazily put together a clone game, and sold it. I hang my head in disgrace to know I came from the same gaming community you guys are a part of.

I really hope everything works out for this guy, as gamers have not seen such a unique and great mod like this since DotA, and we've seen what money grubbing developers have done to that genre. I'll be waiting to buy the standalone game, I just hope it gets that far. Also, I see that a rather upsetting amount of people that comment and speak on behalf of this game or its rival, have really not played either game..

Please keep the hate and insults like "boohoo crybaby" out of these conversations. Is this what our culture of gaming has come to?

@Geminon There is really nothing good to say about this comment, please reconsider this absurd view of yours.

A word to the wise: just play Day Z, the Arma II mod. It is much better in every way, and is less buggy even in alpha version. I'm pretty sure this game just tried to rip off of them so hard anyway.

@Entropy730 Some appreciated insight from another gamer; we thank you good sir. I wanted this game to do well and I was probably going to pick it up, but negative things keep surfacing and now I'm not so sure.

@-Unreal- I actually used to play in the glory days, but it started dying for me at Wrath. I invested a lot of time into it, and it is a great game as long as you exclude a few expansions, but nothing is perfect. Your smart-ass comment just tells me you are some kid who started in Cataclysm and eats any shit Activision hand feeds you. Play a game because it is good, not because people say its good.

Words really can't describe how shitty this is and what the game has become. Enjoy your Blizzard assraping you into submission, i'm going to sit this one out too.

If video games were movies, this would be the half-decent one you tolerate simply because you want to go with your friends. Do yourself a favor and buy Torchlight 2.
