Okay, sorry for linking to Google+ here, but it's a public post so you should be able to read it. For convenience, I'm copy&pasting the post as well.

--- Quote ---Okay, I'm confused now. Read the comments here:

Then watch the gameplay here:

Now, the question that of course follows is: What were the people smoking when they made this game? Then of course, follows, WHAT THE HELL WERE THE REVIEWERS SMOKING?

What kind of demented person do you have to be to believe this tripe is good? I spent some time watching videos, even the ones linked by the devs, and it's just atrocious.

Now, Arcen has taken a lot of flak for AVWW, particularly on the graphics side of things. I'm the first to admit that AVWW is in no way a perfect game, and there are many areas that can be improved. But it did "click". It's fun and enjoyable for the most part. This thing? My god, man. As a developer, you have to have the self-sense to see when your product brings nothing new to the table and when it is an obvious ripoff of another game.

Now, I know you guys at Arcen have to be "politically correct" in your responses on this forum in order to protect your company. However, do you have any comments at all on this? As for you other readers of this forum, what are your thoughts?

Personally, I think this borders on either insanity (they actually think it is good) or fraud (money grab).

Yeah, that was my initial reaction too. So I did some researching and my initial reaction was "oh lol, nice troll", then I found their website.

That game is literally Left 4 Dead. Like, it's not even a new game. It's just a bad mod. The menus, the 4 characters, the downed status and helping teammates back up, the bot AI, the floating tooltips, all of it... It is blatantly obvious that it's Left 4 Dead with a new coat of paint. A bad coat of paint. Someone fingerpainting while blindfolded and drunk. The enemies are obviously using the L4D zombie AI, except they only tend to come one or two at a time, which makes them stupidly easy to deal with since they're designed to be a challenge in hordes of 10-20. And it's like that with everything else they've changed. They swapped the first aid kits for tiny health pickups, but kept in the fact that you have to use them to pick them up, which is annoying if you have to do it every 5 seconds. They appear to have failed to copy the special infected (or at least the video didn't get that far) so you are just fighting generic enemies that run at you and die.

The game just has nothing to recommend it. Any fun you would get out of the gameplay would be vastly improved by just playing L4D. Unless you really get off on shooting Mayans (in which case, you should consider therapy) there is literally no reason to play it. I'm totally with TB on this one, I have no clue how Valve allows tripe like this on Steam and yet has famously denied some fantastic games that deserved to be on there long ago.

Hexen is flat out better, and came out in 1995.  I think even the graphics in Hexen are better.
