you know?

with the assets and some of the gameplay systems you could mod these games to be fucking awesome twin peaks sims

That's a good reason to be confident in SoD3, even if it's not great. Similar to the Dying Light series.

did anyone get the beta survey yet?

Besides some of the horrid game design choices it also bombard you with gay people for some reason, I just want to survive in the zombie apocalypse bro. I don't need to hear how same sex couples are hecking valid

Yeah because they kept breaking the fucking game to add stupid shit like black lives matters shirts

>see thread
>ctrl+f "Project Zomboid"

You disappoint me.

personally if I was writing a zombie animal profile then, if the virus wasn't dependent on being a variant of rabies, the virus would also attack the animals brain and it would lead to more distress behaviours than outright aggression leading to a kind of "zombie pupper" situation
imagine if every time you shot a deer you needed to check it for signs of infection just in case you feed zombie deer to the camp
because it may not necessarily need to eat flesh or be aggressive, it could just be confused and easy to shoot

>>736503664
Zombie games should never be point N' Click, especially with (OG) runescape graphics. Can you even crouch in that game

>>736506008
Are you blind? It's not OG Runescape graphics, it's OG The Sims graphics.

>>736506008
Yes you can crouch and do everything you can imagine.
The game is beyond autistic, you even have to count calories, manually put bullets into magazines and each individual part of a car has a separate durability.

I know niggers who never played SOD 1 or 2 are going to cry about the woke
But both games are peak comfy and very close to ideal zombie Survival experience

I hope they get it all right this time around

Yeah and he's going to have to fix Lemmy being a spiteful little bitch with B42s changes to combat and loot because he wanted you to sit innawoods making green bar go up for 100 hours.

I like it a lot. Sure it's very buggy sometimes (quite a lot of times), it's Blackrock wet dream, the co-op is castrated, the last difficulty is a joke shit, but despite all that the core gameplay is as enjoyable as it can be. There's no other game like it.

The best zombie game is RE2R. The best zombie movie is black hawk down.

>>736512158
It's true that it's unrealistic to fight 10 zombies with a melee weapon without feeling anything. But it's also so unfun they nerfed the muscle strain to near nothing in the "canon" gameplay settings. The new guy legit seems to be someone who actually played the game because this last patch was so good it helped with several gripes I have with B42. I wish Lemmy was crucified.

>>736497414
why are game companies so allergic to zombie animals?!

>>736514092
because zombie media is just about humans in the end. hence the humans are the real monsters thing being prevalent.

>>736513707
I'm not that fit and I can sit in a batting cage for a few hours no problem and little arm burn. My fitness survivor with starting decent FIT/STR should not be struggling to clear 10-15 zombies. I once got caught with fatigue and was sitting there stomping a zombie for 10 irl minutes but it wouldn't die but if I bring that up I get tons of excuses but that shit is unrealistic. there's a fine line that has to be walked with that because at a certain point muh realism becomes tedium

It is surreal how completely they managed to fuck the entire game with b42. Its like it was on purpose, but I know it was base ineptitude. Just removing the context menu, and skill grinding from dismantling is some of the most retarded shit i've seen in years. Then you add on the trash muscle strain and all the other shit.

>>736515156
it feels like Lemmy watched those videos where some guy kills the entire population of louisville and started punching the air. Guns were fucked, XP for guns were fucked, melee was fucked, zombie distribution was fucked. He really wanted you to play b42 as some guy with chickens at the edge of the map.

>>736511867
SoD1 with more mechanics, more vehicles, more weapons, more guns, more maps, more bases and more more survivor traits. The difficulty can be either assrape or walk in the park and there are a lot more 'survival' mechanics present, through patching they have found a happy medium with world events and shit going on to your base. I like it a lot, DLC is pretty good. Like the other guy said the co-op is kind of shitty/weird though, you can join your friends' game as survivors from your save and can swap out back at your base. You are essentially foraging for them but you can bring some supplies and gear back to your world and you get experience/skill ups without having the constant 'active' burn of your play session going.

>>736515653
oh i completely forgot about zombie hordes spawning around "loot". Most retarded shit i've ever seen, which completely gamified the game in the worst possible way. Doesn't even make sense some factory in the middle of ass nowhere will have 300 zombies cause it has a bunch of melee weapons in it. Just completely unimmersive.

For me, all SoD3 needs to be is SoD2 but with more content.

>>736496452
Its nowhere near as deep as Project Zomboid so.... it's not competent enough. Its too watered down.

which SoD game should i start with
i own 1, "year one edition," and 2
i've played a bit of them but don't remember shit

>>736523353
There's no reason not to start with 2, its just 1 but more stuff and with the bad things 1 did either removed or improved to not be bad anymore. The problem with starting with 1 is that you might find something it does differently than 2 preferable, but 2 has so many more objective improvements that you really can't justify playing 1 for the one or two things it does that you like better, so if that happens to you then you'll just be left with an unsatisfied experience.
