super mega ultimate final verdict: unbalanced as fuck by sdroa jists 01/08/2012, 9:10am PST
once you get past the first 8 hours of game and start to near the second (!) act, the game's flaws become extremely obvious.

I decided to start with the azn knife chick because I dunno, gotta start with something hey it's not like the game is HEAVILY biased towards one playstyle and one type of weapon right? naturally even from the start knives are the worst shittiest weapon, but thank fuck I didn't go with the gun character.

so anyway, first 5 hours go like this: beat the mortal dog pissfuck shit out of zombies after you kick them to the ground. level up and put arbitrary talent points in the most worthless fucking pre expansion world of warcraft talents ever imagined since o I dunno world of warcraft vanilla (the shittiest version of wow). I shit you not the first two talent points you can actually take to IMPROVE your combat abilities is a 4% damage increase, and a 33% damage increase that only activates WHEN YOU ARE JUMPING (almost never).

after 5 hours you start to encounter way too many zombies to take on with any weapon let alone just blunt weapons as a fucking knife fucking fighter what the fuck. yea I guess I could start wasting those molotovs and hand grenades on packs of 3 zombies but that doesn't make for very good tactics, and so the final ultimate strategy is revealed: enter a coop game and struggle through the dumbest pack of morons on the entire internet. I got in a game with 3 guys double my level using electrical maces and shotguns that were for some reason doing content half their level. I figure fine, let's walk through the quests I did about 3 times now. we finally get to the part I haven't done yet and in my impatience with riding in a car being driven by captain crashesalot and the skub squad, I decide maybe they wouldn't mind letting someone without brain damage take the wheel. 10 seconds later the server empties out silently, like they're all 4 years old and can't even bring themselves to demand that they should be driving no matter how much they suck at it.

but with those kinds of experiences being the average across the board, and including the FREQUENT shittily designed escort quests, it's clear that this game is really only half finished
