>start game>explore house>leave house>zombie kills me>start over>leave house>fight zombie>other zombies hear and kill me>start over >leave house>zombies chase me>escape into house>zombies come in and kill meThis sucks. This game looks perfect for me, but you can't do anything at all without dying. I've done this loop like a dozen times already.
perhaps try getting good?
It's ok, once you figure out you can walk away from everything you'll start complaining about there being nothing to do after playing for 200 hours
it's insane how these people shamelessly take years to release a stable update and lock comments on everything they do
>>728387140RP that you are yourself in your current gamer bird bone never exercises body that is incapable of swinging a bat more than 10 times without muscle cramps. Play the game that way and it will make way more sense instead of thinking you are a gym bro dave goggins stepping out of his house for the zombie apocalypse cause lets face it you aren't in shape and 90% of americans aren't in shape enough to swing a bat at a pinata 10 times without hurting themselves
>>728387140it has a pretty steep learning curve, as well as learning all the jank shit since the devs are pretty incompetent all aroundbut it is a good time once you get over that humpalways play sandbox mode and set your own rules
>>728388596they're giant fucking pussies with a victimhood comlex they extort to the maximum possible degree - but the gaming industry is so stale this is still a good option>>728388423turn on pinpoint hearing/eagle vision and add silencers mod and increase ammo loot spawn and then it becomes a lot more interesting
>>728388423oh dont worry about that. every time you get a good run going they drop an updoot that breaks everything so you can start over :)
>>728390154>Project Zomboid>updateslollmao
>>728392156i wish dude. the multiplayer updoot broke all the mods. that would have been fine by itself, i stopped auto updooting games years ago, but then mod authors updooting mods to the new version broke backward compatibility.
>>728387140Once you know how to play the game, it becomes pretty awful.>start the game with a minmaxed build, probably a criminal so you can hot wire any car from the start.>check the house for an okay weapon, find a backpack or craft a sling backpack>sneak out of the back of the house and find a car>hot wire the car>drive off to some remote location to establish a base>do a couple of loot runs>have everything in your base to survive foreverGames over.
>>728392537The problem with this is there are magic zombies that see through walls and swarm you and kill you during each of those steps
Lemmy wonned
>>728393662The devs hate the player and introduce shit like that so you can't get to the part where you just chill in a secured base. They made it so stuff like your gun will jam more if your near a zombie or your car won't start or will stall when near a zombie. Its why shit like being able to open a closet and its filled with 50 zombies all stacked ontop of each other is still in the game.
Maybe pick another zombie game? Tons of them on steam, many of them cheap indie games with good revews
>>728388354>Reddit memeGo back
>>728393662you can backpedal and kill hundreds of zombies with a melee weapononce you find a shotgun and ammo you can clear the entire town, just find more ammo and shotguns on the zombie corpses as you kill them
>>728394440
>>728394492Suggest one that isn't shit
>>728395373any melee weapon is fine, you can even get by pushing zombies over and stomping on them if there's like 5-10 of them
>>728394274Suggest one that isn't shit
>>728387140I am thinking about playing cataclysm again.Should I try DDA or BN? BN seems like more up my alley as a combat and adventure roguelike, but DDA has so many more weapons, clothing, armor and loot in general.
just make NPCs already, will be the only reason to update the game so will have to reinstall the thousand mods again...
>>728396753Just download the NPCs mod Week 1 Bandits.
>>728396915>Week 1 Banditsbut those guys are recruitable or just more enemies?
>go outside>aggro zombie>push him down>stomp his head>shoes instantly wrecked>foot broken>agony, terrified, bored, hungry, anxious, sleepy moodles all activate for some reason>die to blood loss
>>728397140Why are you wearing flip flops?
>>728397081>but those guys are recruitablePretty use no, but if they are, I haven't figured out how yet.They are mostly obstacles so you can't just loot all the houses, but you can buy goods from them too and earn money by doing your job.
>>728387140the thing I dislike the most is the camera view system. I get it's supposed to be realistic so you can't see what's behind you but personally I just don't like it
>>728388423If you start to get to that point you get a mod that enables a certain amount of sprinters.I do think doing Raven creek and trying to make a base somewhere there is a challenge, if only because with high zombie numbers it becomes a hellscape depending on your spawn.
>>728398261I always pick the heightened hearing perk which lets you see a short distance to the flanks and back.But I mostly rely on the games actual sound cues. Headphones are very important to exactly know where you hear which zombie. And I do spins a lot when not in direct combat but knowing enemies are around to keep track of every zombies location. Otherwise, when kiting I really try to avoid unchanted areas and kite zombies back into territory I cleared previously if I have the option.
>>728387140Really the game is very overrated on youtube and social media in general, however it's still a fun little permadeath game.
>>728387140You can literally walk away from zombies. Running is more of a convenience or short bursts. Actual sprinting with alt is a trap. To fight multiple safely start with nimble 3 or at least 1 and train to 3. Training nimble is shit. You get a exp increase if you started with a level. It says "+75%" but it's actually +300% because no sane person is going to assume to base exp rate is 25%.You min max traits or change the exp rate in setting because most skills are boring and tedious to level. Hell, all the crafting skills are basically useless to level without spending hours reading the 5 books per skill.Unsure about anything, you check the wiki. Including what weapons are decent. The tool tips in the game are non existent, vague, or straight up incorrect.Once you know how to fight a horde the game loses all sense of direction and just become boring as the gameplay loop has bee completely broken. Download all the mods and change the settings because balancing the game and adding content is your job, not the devs.The end. Also, Lemmy is a faggot.
>>728400468You forgot to say CDDA at the end.This is required to minmaxing the process of angering zomboid fans.
>>728387140At some point the combat will click for you.I have a character thats been alive for 5 years
>>728387140PZ is a plain open world sandbox with a lot of useless possiblities and imo you won't get much substance from it. The start can be interesting as it is challanging, but once you get into the rhythm of things, get a proper shelter to set up a base in, and stockpile enough resources it loses its magic and becomes very boring and by the book going through the motions. There are better zombie games out there, I think.
>>728387140Duckov mogs your stupid bdsm gameplay
>>728402445One example for a better zombie game is Dread Dawn. Buy your copy now on Steam!!!
>>728402923>bdsm gameplayWHERE??? WHERE??? WHERE???
>>728403391You imply your game made you restart 3 times in a row due to bad game design
>>728403523What the fuck does that have to do with BDSM?I wanted BDSM gameplay.
>>728402926Death Road to Canada is also a good retro zombie game. But I ment the high-end AAA zombie games.
>>728404663>Death Road to CanadaI already beat this. Not exactly retro but very good. I am looking forward to the sequel.
>hire guy who's making a NPC mod that makes people wonder why TIS hasnt done anything in 12 years>have him make a fishing minigame for the past 2 years
>>728387140Mess with the game settings before creating a character. Make the game easier to learn it.A lot of the settings kill fun, like using guns and vehicles will pull gigatons of zombies to you, so make zombies basically deaf, slow and fewer of them.
>>728402923The problem with bondage is that it restricts your actions, so it's anti-gameplay unless it's a debuff or purely cosmetic.However, I have played quite a few good SM games where you could find or make a character with the masochist perk and them put them in great pain and watch them enjoy it which is really hot.
>>728402445Humanitz is decent
>>728406502It's meh.Very gun focussed and does not like melee.
>>728397140shoes can barely last 10 stomped zombies for some fucking reasonalmost died a few times to this bullshit because i did not notice my shoes broke and i was barefootinstalled this mod just to know when is the time to loot a new shoehttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3435936144
>>728407298Last time I played, a pair of combat boots lasted a week of excessive stomping.
