I think the point is that people who didn't enjoyed the game are bashing this game more than this games deserves since there are far worse games that deserve the hate more.
A lot of them aren't. On HUKD almost every single one of them claims that this is one of the best games they ever played and what someone should play when they get a Wii U.
It's not horrible, but it's not really good either. Saying that it's not bad because there are worse games is like saying that catching a nasty cold is fun because you could've gotten AIDS instead - not really a saving grace. It's not the worst game ever, but I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy it for more than a fiver because it's just not worth it and there are much better games out there to spend hard-earned cash on.
ZombiU is better than most Steam Early Access games but come on, this is comparing which game is slightly less shittier.
Even for £5 it's still a bit too much. £1.50 is all right.
That's how it's written in other languages and you don't say the letter 'e' so what it makes the title 'Zombi' is just all the more confusingly vague.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
That is an awful example. The Last of Us is a genuinely good game. If it doesn't appeal to you, okay, but I think it's silly to compare it to an overwhelmingly average game like Zombi(U) for the sake of making your point.
I didn't say its bad, just said that i don't like it (I do have some issues with the game but the thread is not to talk about The Last of Us)
That's what people do not get though.
He didn't say that much about it, if he feels so offended by someone saying that the was fine then he can write a review about it.
Maybe people just expected more of Ubisoft? The game feels like it was made by a team of fresh graduates, it looks, feels and plays amateurish. When you see Ubisoft releasing Far Cry 4 in one hand and ZombiU in the other, you have to stop and wonder whether the game had any resources or talent allocated to it. Here's how I think it went down - a group of devs had an idea about Killer Freaks from Space, some big wig exec in Ubisoft said "nah, too risky, make it about zombies, people like zombies 'cause The Walking Dead" and the team did just that with zero enthusiasm just to push the title out as quickly as possible.
So what if the posters an Tesco poster....? And Ubisoft is making shite games for years, that's nothing surprising, just the huge hate about the game is surprising me. There's no need for it, if you think that its a flop then that's fine but just stop poking everyone's eyes because of it. People feel really offended because of the game which they shouldn't really be.
Are you really asking me why it's a bad thing to take something that someone else made, scan it, edit it a little bit so it's not obvious and then say that you made it? There's a term for it, it's called plagiarism. Someone was literally paid to design that poster, Ubisoft took it, put it in their game and didn't give a flying duck - it's lazy, they couldn't even spring for a fake damned poster, they had to steal one for their amateurish game. It's an example of the level of laziness we're dealing with here, one of many, I might add. The majority of the game was a flatline for me, with the exception of one level - The Nursery is done very competently and whoever made that squeezed a little bit of talent onto this generic game, for which he or she has my thanks.
If this is lazyness then we should start criticizing Fallout for stuff like Nuka Cola. I really don't see how this is a legit complaint except maybe if you are working for Tesco. The game designers might've as well wanted to establish parallels to the real world.
There's a very big difference between Nuka Cola, which is a satire on Coca-Cola, and including a scanned pre-existing poster in your game, which is a satire on "working".
I don't really care about posters in games when i need to save my head from zombies, if i cared then i would care about the rocks in Witcher 3 and flaws in many other games.
yeah it's a satire but it's also what you described. Taking preexisting objects from the real world, slightly changing them and calling it a day. Just because there is satirical background doesn't make it any better. It's funny, sure, but it's still a reskinned Coca Cola just like said supermarket posters.
