Are you clinically insane? It's the worst combat in any possible zombie game, it's right there in the absolute midwit zone where it can't be a good action combat and has nothing going for it to appeal to the opposite side with rpgshit, the combat in Zomboring is just another means to get you killed because that's the only thing they developed in this dogshit Black person game, ways to get you killed.

Reddit wants their spacing back homosexualron. Also funny that you have nothing to add in regards of the combat being dogshit and just has to nitpick something out of context to sound like the funny reddit man. Also the game doesb't even offer you good incentives to stay alive because the devs are utterly moronic that they put a lot of effort into the dying part but couldn't care to make the living part any more interesting.
"reddit spacing" has been used on this site since before you were born, underaged newbie
Flies being attracted to shit doesn't make shit good. It's extremely shallow with a lousy dev team so good for them doing the same tiny loop of gameplay in the autism cage.
This game has about 2/3 of the daily players that World of Warcraft does.
That's very impressive.
Exclusively because of multiplayer, check before that feature was available.
WoW didn't have multiplayer at some point? That sounds moronic, I know people say its a lot more single player lately but its still an MMO.
I mean that PZ average steam players count was much lower before they added multiplayer, the game didn't improve at all but since it now has some social aspects to it plenty of brainlets will flock to it, i don't blame the devs for adding it since its easy money, their game is still ass though.
The game had multiplayer added years ago though with servers that were still up on the then current build, it was just readded to the test build where a lot of things were reworked like moving away from sprite graphics have having dynamic lighting and other shit. If what your saying is true, then its popularity boost would have been a long time ago when it first had multiplayer and then did nothing but fall off or plateau, but it didn't. The games obviously been improved since then and you'd have to be perpetually bitter to not see it.
When they added multiplayer officially is when people noticed it and it became FOTM on Youtube and Twitch, that's how it got so popular. Just like Fortnite got suddenly popular just because they added a shitty battle royale mode, no one gave a frick about it before that.
you legitimately have brain worms holy frick, can you just not accept that people like the game?
does it have to be a grand conspiracy?
the game is already finished because all it needs to be a complete experience is its core: surviving in an immersive zombie apocalypse
anything else added to it is just fluff and extra. it's nice to have but unnecessary
feel free to continue seething about how successful this game is while being incapable of enjoying it because your lil dopamine fried zoomer brain is too underdeveloped and always will be
how does it feel knowing that you will never be able to function on a basic intellectual level compared to the previous generations?
hey lemmy
You will never be a real dev. Your game is still early access, you can't fix the trait system, it has no content. Your game got twisted by scope creep and lack of npcs into horribly and defunct version of it's former self.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back other devs mock you. We are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “indie friends” laugh at your spaghetti code behind closed doors.
The original playerbase is utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of games have allowed us to sniff out shit ones with incredible efficiency. Even those which left “early-access” are now an abomination unto most players.
Your endless excuses, lack of content and unkept promises is a dead giveaway and even if you manage to hide it with thursdoids and mod spotlights, people will know what lies beneath is barren, shallow and unfinished.
You will never finish Zomboid. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and eNIGma tells you it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the realization of the biggest mistake you ever made in your life creeping up like a weed, ready to crush your studio under its unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - if you don't go back for yet another excuse to buy yourself a few more months of pitiful relevance you’ll quit instead, sell your game, put a rope around your neck, and plunge into the abyss.
Your players will find out, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to watch you live with the unbearable shame and disappointment of destroying your own game like a mindless sheep being led to its slaughter.
They’ll bury your memory, making sure none of it ever escapes and taint other game's development.
All that will remain of your legacy and virtue signalling is that picture you uploaded to social media, crying about that stolen laptop.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back. There are no more excuses.

Slowly grinding away on "survive a full year" playthrough with 8 hour days with a couple of friends. A agree, its easily the best survival game, IF you unfrick its horrible skill/xp balancing and lacking lategame with mods.
Also the new multiplayer still is a glitchy mess, but then again, which multiplayer zombie survival game is there that isn't.
My complaint for both games is primitive starts are generally discouraged, so you can't go tribal effectively. You MUST get a gun. You MUST get modern tools. You MUST get a vehicle.
>CDDA
>get a gun
????? homie just get decent armor and wail on homosexuals with blunt weapons.
Works on regular zombies. Anything else requires more power than a peasant's flail and a hole.
If you can't kill something in melee without wrecking yourself then build a bow or crossbow, they got nerfed some time ago but they should still be decent, there is also a mod that reverts them back to the times they were OP.
In CDDA if you stay innawoods the entire game you don't need a gun, vehicles or modern tools ever, you can build most of the stuff you could find in a city yourself, it might not be as efficient but its still good enough.
Why is the online so shit unless you host a dedicated server?
>takes 5 minutes to click through 6 menus to eat beans and drink water then spend 10 minutes washing clothes in a sink

These two things simply do not go together and the game will continue to suck ass until one or the other is removed. The sheer amount of game time taken up doing unfun monotonous non-gameplay administrative or maintenance tasks with unnecessarily convoluted mechanics is astounding, especially when the basic gameplay is so shallow and undeveloped.

What are you, a woman? I'm shit at games and even I figured out pretty quickly what the controls do.
I agree with the time waster shit being garbage though. You basically need a skill/XP rebalance or the game quickly becomes a Korean tier grind you're best off just not caring about.
L4D2 is the best zombie game. Project Zomboid has a good basis to start from, excellent in fact, but absolutely grotesque execution. Now, you know what would be amazing with this game? If they had Diablo 1 graphics. The game would be fricking amazing.

Not a huge fan of classic zombies but I'm pretty sure the game takes more inspiration from the Walking Dead than romero.
>zombies dont even form hordes, they respawn on the map
They do form hordes, depending on your settings. The problem is those hordes don't move often, and when they do they tank performance really badly.
>combat is terrible
Inconsistent yeah, but I wouldn't say terrible. You have plenty of options and becoming good at kiting zombies isn't hard at all. In fact the combat makes the romero mall-sized hordes scarier since it's made for single-target engagements.
>every game mechanic feels unfinished

Diablo 1 graphics are still decent to this day if you compare them to Project Zomboid that is and it would be an easy step up (otherwise if budget isn,t a problem then project zomboid with PoE graphics). But the problem with PoE, D3 and all these new games is that there is too much particles and effects and numbers on the screen so you end up missing the simplicity of the game. You don't see your character attacking using a bow, no it's an animation on top of the character that take the whole screen and then you add on top on this buffs, crits, side attacks, aura, pets, etc, it ends up being too much. D1 had captured the simplicity of RPG. Something lot of games are lacking. So if we take these graphics and merge them with Zomboid it will make an amazing game.
The 3 main issues:
- The graphics are awfully ugly and unappealing
- The combat system is grotesque, chunky, even worse than games from early 90s
- The leveling up system doesn't feel fun and natural, it's boring af just reading books or watching tv. The grinding must be fun. This is not fun. Don't tell me you have fun doing this. You're lying to yourself.
>The graphics are awfully ugly and unappealing
Unappealing maybe, it's definitely not beautiful, but everything that needs to be communicated visually is done so well. I don't see how that's ugly though - or how that's an issue.
>The combat system is grotesque, chunky, even worse than games from early 90s
are people this averse to kiting? I've had issues with the combat but it's nowhere near as bad as melee combat from early 90s 1st person games. You have an isometric perspective, you can gauge distance and I'm sure you can figure out that you should get out of a zombies way when it's attacking you.
that being said it's obviously not the best, but it works for the game, and it incentivises using guns.
>The leveling up system doesn't feel fun and natural, it's boring af just reading books or watching tv.
This I can agree with
That being said you can also just turn down the time required for those actions in the settings.
>are people this averse to kiting? I've had issues with the combat but it's nowhere near as bad as melee combat from early 90s 1st person games
why do you assume its a skill issue. the combat is braindead easy AND shit to play.

>You have an isometric perspective, you can gauge distance and I'm sure you can figure out that you should get out of a zombies way when it's attacking you.
The perspective is all fricked up. Distances are also totally fricked and not what they appear to be. Anyone playing the game for the first time will get totally fricked over because the game does an absolutely piss-poor job at visually representing where objects are in relation to one another and specifically how far away things are from the character.
>but it works for the game,
It really doesn't. It's just straight up terrible. Here's a good litmus: if all the survival aspects were removed and the only thing left was the combat, would anyone play the game? Nope, they'd rate it a 1/10 amateur scam project and never look back.
>good litmus: if all the survival aspects were removed and the only thing left was the combat, would anyone play the game?
yeah... that's fair i can't argue against this
I'll still argue that the systems work to their intended effect at making you feel powerless against hordes (like NMRiH), but I won't say it's fun in isolation.
>but absolutely grotesque execution.
Genuinely curious, what's wrong with the game?
The best zombie game ever made is Resident Evil 2, if you were talking about multiplayer games then No More Room in Hell is probably the best one, i also have fond memories of Zombie Master and Zombie Panic Source.
CDDA
Why can't modders add NPCs? Why do the devs have to be the ones to make it?
They did few times.
Even new zeds.
But that's not the answer you looking for, right?
That's exactly the answer I was seeking. Thank you anon.
Artificial intelligence is hard to develop, even the most basic one. CDDA has NPCs but they still act like morons, until recently they used to throw their guns away if they were unskilled at marksmanship and attacked enemies with shoes or stupid shit like that.
>Why can't modders add NPCs
Anytime anyone comes close to making good NPCs, the devs shut them down. See the project humanoid guy. His NPCs were in pretty jank but he had grand ideas and was working on an entirely new code different from the standard old NPC code that the other mods use. The zomboid devs bought him out because he is russian and now have him working on......fishing animations.
>fishing animations
Good call.
Also the devs are deliberately working on a gimped version of the AI for the farm animals (which is still taking 9 months and nowhere in sight lol) because they don't want modders to get the hand on the "real" version (if it even exists) and blow them the frick out when they would inevitably release NPCs before them. They admitted this in a blogpost.
CDDA is seriously the better game. And it's entirely the fault of the slow incompetent "Game developers" behind zomboid that this is the case.
They had their laptops stolen a decade ago, calm down.
The only problem I've found with CDDA is how severe the difficulty spike is between regular zombies and monsters.
If you find like a chainsaw or something like that it's less of an issue, but other than firearms you don't really stand a chance.
Depends what types of evolved zombies you find, some are purposefully very hard to beat for melee characters to force you to use ranged weapons, for example i'm carrying a pistol on my character for those situations, had to take out some gasoline zombies with it because when they explode they release like 20 tiles of fire so they are basically untouchable in melee.
>still no car mods despite being teased in a blogpost years ago
rule of thumb if you see it on the blog you can either expect it 3 years down the road, forever forgotten about, or made by modders
game was fun for about 2 hrs then i found a car, made a base in a house by the river and was basically done. no more threats. just wake up and water my plants.
Yeah this

Since this looks to be the survival games thread I've finally gotten into The Long Dark and am having lots of fun with it.
Admittedly I do have a bunch of mods installed to make the game easier, but they have improved the experience a lot imo. I really like the fox companion mods and I got a mod to make candles but I haven't gotten it to work yet.
The moose has been very elusive, I've yet to find one after exploring 2+ zones.
No this is a shitpost thread between cdda and zomboid like the last 300 like it. Long dark chads like us shouldnt be here. Honestly though I find the game far to easy even on the hardest difficulty but I cant really hold it against the game since its just the survival game curse. Eventually you just stop having to survive and the game falls apart. Though honestly ide settle for the devs just giving me more animals to hunt. I really wish I could have every equipment slot be a fur nothing eats at my mind like my 250 day interloper save where I never found a 2nd pair of underwear so I was short a slot forever.
>Eventually you just stop having to survive and the game falls apart
Doesn't wildlife simply thin out over time on the hardest difficulty? I have that setting set to low (also the colder over time setting) in custom sandbox but haven't really seen a reduction in wildlife. I'd ask you if the revolver is worth keeping around but you'll never find one on interloper.
I can talk about the game some if you want. Yes wildlife does decrease but its not as dramatic as you would think even on the hardest possible difficulty a big reason for this not being an issue is level 5 cooking which is busted as hell. Once you have it you can no longer get sick from food youve cooked. That means no more parasites from bear and wolf meat and no more food poisioning. In other words wolves become your main source of food and food also keeps forever so eating is no longer a concern. Speaking of cooking I can give you 2 tips for food that will make interloper much easier for you if you wanna give it a try. First is that you really dont need to eat through the day in fact you just need to eat right before sleep so you can heal the small amount of damage you took from being hungry all day. Second is cat tails those things are a holy food from the gods you can live for weeks off just them. If your curious I only use the revolver 90% of the time. Its way lighter and fufils self defense just as well as the rifle. Dont forget headshots have a high chance to insta kill and even if it doesnt a moose can shrug off multiple rifle rounds anyway. I did do a custom game before where it was interloper settings with guns on but it just made it to easy even if blasting wolves never gets old. Now a days I play interloper with a few mods like some that add extra furs to craft and also one that turns off cabin fever. That is one of the worst mechanics ive ever seen in a game. It doesnt make it harder just more tedious. Theres a reason you see interloper players living in caves. I just wanna chill in a house.
Thanks for the advice. I don't think I'll ever play interloper tho. I find it cool that you can collect ammo casings to make cartridges again. I didn't realize that until after spending a few rifle rounds, but from what I've read it sounds dangerous to get to places where ammo benches are. Yeah the cabin fever mechanic sounded dumb kinda like boredom in Zomboid but at least in Zomboid you can read books and stuff to make that go away.
>Dont forget headshots have a high chance to insta kill
Does this mean that a revolver can kill almost as well as a rifle if it's a headshot? Sounds kind of OP if so.
Yes it can. A single revolver shot can kill a moose frick AN ARROW CAN. I know cause ive done it. The odds are very low but it can happen. For the rare times I have access to guns I carry the revolver on me and only take the rifle when im purposely bear hunting. My favorite base the the quontock garage or whatever its called and theres bear and moose spawns close by so it works for me. Remaking ammo is a long process to unlock the location and get to it. The bench is in the bleak inlet and getting access to it is both an adventure and super deadly. If youve never fought timberwolves before be carful. Frick you cant even really deal with them on interloper without cheese or using your very finite marine flares. Ide honestly just recommend looking up how ammo making works as its kind of a pain in the ass and working all of it out blind is gonna be very time intense.
>My favorite base the the quontock garage
That was my base on my first character. I liked the area as well plus having fishing nearby is nice for extra meat/oil. Currently my base is in Mystery Lake, that seems to be a good hub area that connects to multiple other zones. The trappers lodge seems like a popular spot but I may move to the camp office is it has more space and it's also by fish. I have yet to encounter timberwolves, but i'll be sure and be prepared if I ever have to. I have a crap load of flares that sounds like the way to disperse them, but do you really need the marine type flare for it to be effective? Thankfully I've come across lots of ammo so I don't think I'll run out soon, I've mostly been using the bow anyways since arrows are easier to craft and remake. I may shelve the rifle like you suggested, but I've been keeping it lately to hunt moose when I can actually find one. It seems like you only want to kill a bear when you can make full use of what it drops since it has a ton of meat.
Im trying to think how I should explain certain aspects of things to you since interloper is such a different game. Bear fur is hyper important on interloper since a ton of the best clothing just never spawns. To someone below interloper the bear coat is actually kinda bad since you can find jackets that weigh way way less but provide just as if not more temperature. For bear hunting feel free to just take the pelt and leave you dont always need to take the whole animal especially on lower difficulties. Base choice is actually a really complicated question and theres no single best answer. I like the garage since it has a huge amount of wolf spawns and is near enough to both coal and the furnace. Your game near reolves around access to a furnace on interloper since there are no axe,knife or weapon spawns sorta without it. Also each region has different temperature and weather patterns. I HATE going to pleasent valley and I would never base there. The region is huge, one of the coldest, and to top it off its in a complete whiteout blizzard 9/10ths of the time great way to get lost and freeze to death. Good luck finding a moose they have very limited places they can spawn and finding one is pure luck. Honestly I would reccomend shelving the rifle but if you see signs of a moose go back and get the rifle. Finnaly as for timberwolves they are real b***hes since they like to surrond you and run in circles taking pot shots at you. The pack actually has a frickin hp bar. Its pretty neat though I assume if your decent at video games and can handle the pistol you can beat them easy enough. Doing it with a bow though is frickin impossible. And they ignore flares so dont bother you need the blue marine flare to beat them. Also protip no matter what always have an adrenaline shot and flare on you.
>Also protip no matter what always have an adrenaline shot and flare on you
I do always carry those yeah, and an emergency MRE just in case. I haven't been to pleasant valley yet but hushed river valley was dangerous enough for me for now, I only explored half of it then left. Funnily enough the valley is where I found my first revolver, in a cave even after exploring most of mystery lake and mountain town's human areas.

>Acquire silencer mod
What now? Guns can also be good for attracting large groups to take them out all at once too.
>disable zombie respawn
>hit up the gunstore
>clear out lv block by block
Not really that valid though
Shotguns can be used well at early aiming levels to farm aiming XP as well as clearing out a whole neighborhood for example
Even if you run out of ammo before clearing the horde, you can run away in your car and now you have the entire neighborhood aggregated in one spot meaning you can loot most of the houses relatively safely
Then you can just come back with more ammo or a single molotov and clear the rest
Are you using a meme generator site just to bash this game? These aren't even mildy funny, just your opinion over premade reaction gifs.
That's pretty pathetic, anon.
ARE YOU THE GIF MAKER?
i fricking love these bro, unironically. keep making gifs and being schizo its genuinely some of the funniest shit i see here recently in this shitty board
Internet content like yours just reinforces the idea that broad internet access and ease of ''OC'' creation(if it can be even called that, just thin veiled personal opinions on premade templates) was and still is a terrible mistake.
I really, really hope you're still underage and will hopefully learn to regret this behavior. Get well soon, anon.
People b***h about how hurr durr the game has no endgame but what the frick do you want the endgame to be? Some epic boss battle against a zombie that takes 100 bullets?
No there should just be something to do after you start farming and the entire survival portion of the game is over
Games like Don't Starve have entire expansion packs to fix this problem
It would seem they are just going to make crafting an even bigger pain in the dick and introduce specializations to work you into dead ends and serve as a larger time sync.
It should be pretty obvious to everyone by now that indie stone has no intention of introducing end state functions or really expanding much of what you can do in the game. They want to just add more time syncs.
How about finding a cure or vaccine that only has one dose so you inject yourself and then set out becoming a warlord raider and building a mad max army to go out and kidnap women for your breeding and rape dungeon. You'd have to manage the health of the girls and beat them when they get out of line or claim to be lesbians and dont put out. Then the game can finally end when you have Genghis Khan-ed your way to 1000 living zombie-immune descendants.
There's no endgame for a zombie apocalypse setting. I remember people had the same discussion when talking about Highschool of the Dead's lack of ending and that's the obvious conclusion.
That's why Zombieland is the most realistic media ever because it shows that surviving the zombie apocalypse is actually easy if you follow certain rules and that it quickly gets boring.
We literally just need good NPCs that can form factions that we could possibly join/make and fight the others and that's it
And a battle royale mode amirite my based zoomer friend!
no we dont, cause then it becomes a shitty human vs human game which ruins all zombie games
what zomboid needs is exclusively recruitable npcs which will join your safehouse. they can be cautious and possibly kill you if you deal with first contact badly, but they should never be purposefully hostile towards you like epic fallout raiders
this way you can also remove the metagaming of just starting a new character when your current one dies, and beelining straight to your safehouse with very little risk, instead allowing you to continue the playthrough with a recruited npc chilling at your home, and game overing you if there are none, plus it would also let you have different people for different specialities rather than having to play the game like fricking runescape 99ing every skill
The thing is zombies don't suddenly disappear and are still drawn to you by noise of fighting other humans or by simply loudly existing
nobody wants to fight other humans in an immersive zombie survival game except literal zoomers who cant keep their attention span to a game when it doesnt involve epic dickmeasuring
this is why the single other complaint zoomies have about zomboid is that there's no "endgame/goal", meaning there's no speedrunning scene either
god i love seeing you homosexual mentally ill zoomzooms shit yourself because you're completely unable to play games normally LMFAO
>Nobody wants more enemy variety that spices up the gameplay and creates interesting scenarios that help keep the game fun and fresh
>SPICE UP LE GAMEPLAY
shouldnt you be playing league of legends? i heard the upcoming preseason is gonna be HECKING CURAYZEE!!!! XD
this game isnt for you, homosexual zoomie, and it never will be, no matter how many times you come in these thread seething your hemorrhoided ass off
>Enemy variety and interesting encounters!?!? NO I DONT WANT THAT!!! I WANNA FIGHT ZOMBIES AND ONLY ZOMBIES..... FOR 10 YEARS ATLEAST!!!!
Literally have a nice day homosexual, if you don't want human npc's and just zeds then disable them you crybaby moron
>play zombie survival game
>fight exclusively zombies
yes? sounds like a well designed game
again, go play CoD Zombies or fortnite or some other gay zoomer trash dude, you're legit so mentally ill
go get some fresh air btw i can almost feel how high your blood pressure is reading my posts lol
>says im dilating when he's the one sperging out about completely optional human npc's
Kek, also well designed game my ass. Project Zomboid is great but the game literally does not have anything to in the endgame, human npc's would be great because they would help levitate this problem by keeping things exciting and challenging with having to deal with bandits and shit (could also let me go full leatherface and go around eating people)
I didn't say you were dilating
You implied I was with the last sentence with you saying I was pissed
Honestly I'd really like it if Zomboid had the military come back or something, they would shoot survivors and zombies or something, shell houses and stuff, IDK
I remember the devs saying a while back they wanted to do shit with teh military so its possible we could see something like this in the future, would love if they ripped off the helicopter events expanded mod and put it in the base game, especially the jet event cause I think they actually do blow shit up in it (although I could be misremembering been a bit since I played Zomboid)
Fren just wanted to let you know you're arguing with lemmy. Why do you think he keeps being against new stuff in the game?
Because he doesn't want to work.
i want plenty new things in the game, namely more realistic interactions like how indepth SS13 is. things like the in depth fluid shit they're doing right now is really good
i absolutely do not care about the farming bullshit however. i dont want to play farmville, i want to be a dweller in a city that's completely uninhabitable
mutated zombies are bad too, but the game definitely needs sprinters to offset the normal walking speed countering all zombies flaw
>in depth fluid shit
Yea that's all cool and a welcomed addition but they should get their priorities straight and focus on shit the game actually needs pronto like animals, actual horde migrations and do stuff like that later
agree, but i can get infinite content out of the game as is
sprinters and more advanced AI should be a massive priority though. I want zombies to gravitate towards corpses and garbage. i want there to be punishment for being a safehouse camper. i want zombie population to get progressively more intense and dangerous. i want there to NOT be big groups of zombies around every corner in the starting days/week. it can be 1 day after the outbreak and every street has at least one massive zombie group you cant easily deal with without running around
zombie dogs would fix the sprinter issue tbh
>sprinters and more advanced AI should be a massive priority though
agreed they definitely need to work on this especially with shit like no migrating hordes, also zombie dogs would be sick asf but sadly we're never getting that because the devs are uber realism autists (nvm the idea of reanimated corpses itself is already unrealistic_
>uber realism autists
then why is pvp unserviceable
why does my car crashes against bodies of water
why cant i go for a swim
why do vehicles have no door animations
why are there so many Black folk in 90' KY
why so few firearms
face it, they're just morons
It will get modded in when they finally release NPC's in another 3 or 4 years and be optional. Plus it's all the have left to offer since they have already said they will never do mutant zeds or monsters and it fits their usual trope of hUmAnS WeRe tHe ReAl MoNsTeRs AlL aLoNg!
>Gonna have to rely on modders to give up cool special zeds
Frick I hate these devs so much
Yep 90% of the cool stuff in the game was lifted from them as well as their staff consisting of former modders. Sad thing is some of the mods going away with their creators. I think the antique armors guy straight up died and his family pulled all his uploads down and the vorpal weapons guy has been in prison for bank robbery for the last 4-5 years while somehow his mod works for now.
>literally
Kys thanks
>thats it
Nah your right we do need the stuff you said but we also need
>A combat overhaul
>Being able to turn your car into a death machine
>Alternate ways to create fuel for your car/generator
>more towns or make the pre existing towns bigger
>Horde migration
>Combat overhaul
>Animals
>More guns and the addition of bows
>Motorcycles and bikes
and theirs probably more shit thats evading me at the moment but these are some things that definitely need to be added before they finish development
>accidentally put combat overhaul twice
kek
>accidentally
>thats the joke
No like that was me I legit didn't mean to put it in twice (but yea its desperately needed so maybe its for the best that I did)
>Being able to turn your car into a death machine
Damn i love bus addon
>weapons mod
>armor mod
>crank zombie rate up
>enable sprinters
>disable zombie respawn
the game is now playable, really encourage to try a game like this if you're bored of just surviving
it only took them 20 years to make poor man's CDDA
>steal car
>load it with supplies
>drive way out into the middle of frick all nowhere
>find isolated house with no zombies around for miles
>game just turns into farmville
Main problem with the game is that there's no real objective or time limit
I'm having this issue with a 5-6 player multiplayer server that I run. Thinking of getting that horde event mod to spice things up to create chaos
Are there NPC survivors and can you rape them? If not, it's not realistic at all
No games have rape
I haven't even seen pron games that let you rape
Its verboten i guess
wow that's fricking hot
YEAH TAKE THE HITCH, bawd
BLUE BOARD
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
CDDA's vehicule mechanics got nothing on this
Dayz and even state of decay are better
Can you play multiplayer on this yet? I want to grief people
>defending an RPG maker game THIS hard
didn't know Ganker liked that sseth vid so much
Kek, these make me wanna try out the multiplayer and just go around beating people to death
>Kek, these make me wanna try out the multiplayer and just go around beating people to death
This is exactly why every server with pvp is either dead or will be dead very soon. Why not play gta v at this point?
>Why not play GTA V at this point?
Because killing someone in GTA V isn't going to create the same rage as killing someone in Zomboid where they lose all their loot and progress.
>killing someone in Zomboid where they lose all their loot and progress
good luck finding a server for that.
>Go GTAV online
>Hang executable to get solo server
>Do your own thing
>Someone comes in seeing it's solo server and takes out all their crate spam to ship
>Shoot them down and witness them freak out
You just have to bait people with security and the tears will flow
And this is why no one wants to play multiplayer and it will die. You're just shitting in the sandbox.
>You're just shitting in the sandbox.
Yea I am, and im watching the other poeple playing in the sandbox accidentally touch it and freak out and cry and its hilarious
cant wait till NPCs are implemented and we have to go through the janky ass combat! at least we will have bull balls.
so what's the best weapon in CTDA? something that can be acquired relatively soon
I heard about quarterstaff and peasant flail doing well, but to be honest it feels like just picking lumberjack gives you a HUGE advantage because axe just BTFO's everything so far
I was using a simple wooden tonfa before the peasant flail and it worked pretty well, if you find police batons around take them since you can fold them and they take very little space. Axes of all kinds perform well too and they are quite common. Spears and flails are perfect for characters that can't afford getting grabbed since they let you attack enemies from a safer distance. Other than that you will probably find plenty of knives with the combat knife being the best one, swords are their "upgrades" but they are quite rare and not easy to craft, avoid weapons that take lots of turns to attack with like pickaxes or sledgehammers, they are only reliable when you are really really powered/mutated up.
fire axe is great and can be found very early in the game
I dont like the granphics, they bad
How do people say CDDA is similar but free? They play completely different and not the same games at all. Project Zomboid is simply more immersive. I don't want to frick with ASCII art lmfao.
CDDA is PZ but better in all regards, that's just a fact of life unless the PZ devs suddenly decide to work 100 times harder for many years which they won't.
>CDDA is PZ but better in all regards,
How? You have to remember all sorts of commands and you have to deal with the ASCII art it's cumbersome more than anything they play nothing alike. Get back to me when CDDA has PZ graphics or better.
>You have to remember all sorts of commands and you have to deal with the ASCII art it's cumbersome more than anything they play nothing alike. Get back to me when CDDA has PZ graphics or better.
If ASCII bothers you that much use tilesets which is what most peopel do already, the commands aren't much of an issue once you learn them, yes it expects you to learn them since everything is done by keyboard which is faster than doing it with a mouse, you can still use the mouse to look around but once you discover that by pressing x you can look around with the arrow keys you won't even want to use it again.
>they play nothing alike
The essence of the games is pretty much the same, survive in an hostile world however you wish but CDDA has more options to actually make it not only a challenge but a more varied and hopefully interesting one.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT!!!! PZ actually plays and looks fun you can see your own character wounded get to see a bunch of zombies chasing you and you're on some turn based ASCII art and it's fricking annoying. Level design sucks because it's a roguelike.
>Level design sucks because it's a roguelike
I don't think "level design" matters much in a sandbox game that has infinite world generation, what is not generated are the buildings since they are all handcrafted.
Ahhh, I love sipping my coffee to the weekly PZ thread that inevitably is reduced to the schizo pretending to be a pzgay and cddagay at the same time while spamming gifs
Are there any cold weather survival games besides long dark? I really like the mood of the dark and cold games. PZ's winter isn't dreary enough for me and I rarely make it to winter in CD DA.
Don't Starve
Too cartoony. I like the grim weight of oppression and hopelessness in my survival games.
Unrealword
I got my latest character to 2 months of survival time before I got bit by absolute moronic shit. I found a sledgehammer in the middle of the road, heard legendary tales about it, tried to take it for a spin, and then it turned out it will prioritize hitting a zombie on the floor that's further away than the zombie lunging at me, while also locking me into an ass long animation.
That was about a week ago and I still haven't booted the game back up because I'm sad due to getting my highest weapons skill yet (6 short blunt) and I was capable of mowing down entire hordes with my trusty hammer
🙁
the sledgehammer isn't really a good weapon
Sledgehammer is for destroying walls and objects and it opens up areas or allows you to custom build/adapt existing structures. It's not a weapon that you should use. It's so valued because it's really rare and is necessary for a lot of the wacky megaproject shit for late game.
If you're new to the game don't feel ashamed to make backup saves. It's much better to play the game when you're new knowing you can make mistakes and reload an earlier save than to lose your character and lose all interest in the game.
homie im no pussy
I have way more hardcore mods installed than any of you. You couldn't survive in my zomboid
I'm better than all of you
>get enough food and a farm
>hoard as many books as possible
>have firearms
what are you actually meant to do at this point, you can't be killed if you stay indoors and leaving to find more isn't worth the risk
>CDDA trannies shilling their shit game on Zomboid threads yet again
I legitimately don’t fricking get it. PZ and CDDA play different(almost diablo like gameplay vs fricking cmd prompts), look different(one is a fricking asci tile shit while the other is an isometric 3D game) the only common thing is that they are both apocalypses. To me it feels like comparing Left 4 Dead to Dead Rising, yet CDDA trannies always come to these threads. What compels you autists to so?
CDDA is to dead for them to have their own threads so they have to cling onto ours
>they made their own thread a while ago
>died with less than 5 posts
This reads like it was written by somebody that got filtered hard by being too dumb to play CDDA and so just never played long enough to find the similarities.
Why would I need to spend hours on your shit game just to find a semblance of what makes PZ great moron? Your shit game has an ugly ass, bloated UI with shit art and graphics. After playing for couple of hours fricking around with Ultima 4 tier gameplay with cmd prompts I got so bored I just stopped playing.
So filtered.
It gets really boring mid and late game
I'm also not a fan of the building, lots of recipes should be unlocked at the start like basic shit anyone with a brain could build. but it's all locked behind an incredibly long grind of breaking apart alll kinds of shit, because that's how you learn in real life, smashing a couch a part.
>oy vey stop noticing
Give it up lemmy, this is embarrasing.
Green Hell is a better survival game and they just added Capybara ranching
only redditors and trannies even care about capybara so this kind of integration into a game is an instant massive red flag. no ty
it's a game about the Amazon jungle... Capybaras live there and you can hunt them. Or if you make a poison blowpipe you can knock them out and carry them to a pen and raise them and get them to breed.
Also the studio adopted a pet Capybara so they can have first-hand experience with the fauna of their game.
Also the game lets you genocide Injuns so it's pretty based
ok i think i jumped the gun then, ill check it out
Survival mechanics are more realistic than most games too. Instead of a hunger bar you have 4 macro bars. Protein, carbs, fats and water. There's also a medicine system where you have to examine your body and apply medicine or healing herbs. Also a sanity and a sleep system. Not pulling leeches off your body decreases your sanity as does eating ze bugs. But fire and comfortable sleep, or a hot meal and some certain kinds of mushrooms restore it. When Sanity gets too low, you'll have schizophrenic hallucinations of tribals trying to kill you and they can end up killing you but you can expel them in one hit.
frick off everybody loves capybaras
troon
glorified rat
I would eat that
>cant repair machete or katana
Add fricking Smithing perk to the game you lazy fricks
10 years of early access next year
lemmy I think it's time to stop shilling your shit here and start working on the npcs you promised a decade ago
eniGmagrey here, no refunds (unless it's two hours)
So why does this game make Ganker seethe?
personally I like and enjoyed the game a lot but the devs are real scumbags and all the shills here pretending that everything is fine and the game doesn't have serious issues does make me seethe a bit since I can see the potential this game has that is in the wrong hands.
It's popular and it seethe mostly CDDAgays because their threads are hollow
No one makes Cata threads here for the simple reason it's too large a filter, too niche and we don't want you trying to fill it with troon trash and coomer mods
>troon trash
What the frick are you even talking about?
The state of this board for the last several years has been a steady flood of groomer, gooner, discord, streamer, fetish trash. The only reason PZ threads ever stay up is for shitposting. Cata threads would never survive here and they shouldn't even be posted here.
>The only reason PZ threads ever stay up is for shitposting.
So? What does that have to do with trannies in PZ?
It's them shilling it in the first place
God damn it
>we don't want you trying to fill it with troon trash
Too late.
>coomer mods
The irony. Only troons complain about coomer mods.
it's been in early access for almost 10 years and literally nothing has changed
e celeb shills made it popular lately attracting newbies like this guy here
we always hated this game, yanderedev has made more progress in his game than Zomboid ever have
>we
Its just you and the 3 other CDDA trannies seething at PZ lmao
Plenty of people that play both. PZ players seem to be in constant defense of shitty devs and having no content though. Which is all the threads are good for harvesting rage and cope.
>Its just you and the 3 other CDDA trannies seething at PZ lmao
I imagine the other PZ players have probably died waiting for the npcs to come out
it's just me, "the 3 other CDDA trannies" and you, the zoomer that just got here thanks to the shill e celeb I guess
but don't worry you'll have plenty of time to cope for getting scammed by the PZ devs like we did, no worries
Because if the developers weren't incompetent morons we would have some insanely good zombie kino right now.
Instead we have a game that's basically unchanged in content for the past 12 years.
>Disable infection
>More zombie pop
>Better hearing and sight
Yeah I'm thinking fun.
Did anyone else play on /pzg/'s official sex mod server?
I did, except I didn't realize there was such a mod until 2 others held me at gun point only to handcuff me, and the rest we don't talk about.
bn > cdda >>>>>> normoid
can you collect a harem of virgin high school girl survivors that you can train as your team and scavenge resources and then find a castle to take over and fortify and then live like a medieval lord?
if no then it's a shit zombie apocalypse survival game
"when" they add NPC's yes and it will finally become the best zombie apocalypse survival game of all time
