Bore Z by TotalBiscuit This is a video you MUST watch if you consider buying the game..... after that... you won't, believe me.

Misleading Description They are flat out LYING about that stuff. Illegal in most countrys btw.

This is an article about the misleading store page. GOD DAMN IT! THE GAME IS IN ALPHA!

Game Hub Just look at what peole who bought the game say.

A picture I found on Reddit

EDIT AFTER THE TAKEDOWN:

The War Z Pulled From Steam It's funny, that the URL says "the-war-z-released-on-steam"...

A Shocking Interview With The War Z Developer On False Steam Store Claims

1 decade ago*

Comment has been collapsed.

Watched the TotalBiscuit gameplay video yesterday and it only confirmed that that guy is a prick. I'm not defending WarZ at all, but TB was mixing some real problems with stuff he just made into problems.

He was wounded and complained he can't run fast (well you're wounded...kind of really clear logic there), then he finds a skull cap in store and says sarcastically that he is not 11 yo...then proceeds to buy a fireman helmet (you see the contradiction there, right?). Then he complained that he couldn't cross the deep water because it didn't seem that deep or fast flowing WTH kind of comment is that!? (not to mention trying to swim without the flashlight, although to be fair you should be able to swim and the flashlight holstering automatically). At one point he hits a zombie and complains he did almost no damage (it takes a lot to kill a zombie is his actual complaint), after that he tries stealth by crawling for a few seconds and then gets up and runs to a zombie complaining that stealth is bad...and all the way he was yelling how he was unbiased.

Even though I'll admit he was going off a bit in some spots, I think his complaints about the fall damage were pretty damn warranted. That alone honestly makes me not want the game at all.

Not quite. The game never gave any indication that getting wounded would slow you down (not at all a common feature in games, even in survival ones), or how exactly zombies spot you, which terrain hides you, can they hear you at all, etc. Given the overall quality of the game, assuming that they made a realistic stealth system would be foolish, so a tutorial is very much necessary. And no, figuring it out by yourself when the respawn time is 1h (and now 4h) is not a solution. Also, his complaint about swimming not being possible is completely justified, it's been a basic feature in games for years!

I don't understand why you would even care, you don't like a game, you don't buy it. Seems simple to me.

If they would've stated it's in alpha, then I would've taken the other description lies more lightly.

Not sure if it has been posted but: Reddit and PCgamer

I like the idea of being able to "misread" a list of simple bullet points. His main argument is that we misread it all, because it says 'up to' doesn't mean you can have that many (50 is the cap apparently even though it claims 'up to 100') and that it's also our fault for not understand that it's a growing game.
Yes...not their fault at all...its our fault for not assuming that the list of game features is what is apparently coming in the future even though there is nothing to suggest that :')

Also it's not discussed that they copy pasted the LoL EULA and all the unfair banning etc.

Good Job team!

Why? Because of your short answer?

Because I read the interview with GameSpy, where Titov very confidently claimed that the map was over 100 sq.km. in size and thus fits within the Steam store description of "100 to 400 sq.km. in size". So he's even more of a liar than it seemed at first.

And what do you mean by "Because of your short answer?"? I don't get it.

Oh, come on! Way to overestimate your importance!

It almost certainly got removed due to support tickets asking for refunds. The bad press and the scandal with the frivolous moderation of the game's discussions area may have had a small impact.

Various threads in sites that Valve doesn't really care about, like this one, don't have any effect on Valve's policies.

Edit: By bad press, I mean all the websites mailing Valve, trying to get their opinion on the concerns of buyers. I doubt Valve pays any attention to the articles themselves.
