My Experience Playing Project Zomboid For The First Time
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Today we'll be taking a look at my first set of adventures in Project Zomboid - which includes playing on the HARDEST DIFFICULTY, surviving an entire COOP session with Joov and eventually building my own character to see if I can actually survive in this unforgiving survival game.
I've always wanted to try Project Zomboid out and thought it would be fun to document the learning process... Also break over, we're back! Fallout 4 caps part 2 soon?
Have a good week!

Hello my little ugly gremlins. Turns out Project Zomboid is a lot harder than it looks... but im somewhat addicted to it now.
If you'd want to see more Zomboid or any other game like Kenshi, let me know!
As always have a great week fellas, stay safe and drink water!
Zomboid is super fun but challenging for me even with +100 hours on record
This game is fun
Definitely 2 or 3 more vids minimum
I've watched quite a number of your videos and if you make a project zomboid series them i am 100% subscribing
I think a lot of us would wanna see more Jabo! Ya make Zomboid so entertaining!
in your defense even veteran players struggle with CDDA.
That’s what I’ve been told but man, I think I survived 23 minutes max in CDDA
@@ItsJabo Its very RNG based, especially when you start in a fresh world each time.
@@ItsJabothat’s not even bad for a beginner. I think my personal best was about 40 minutes till I died and decided that it’s not worth my time
Yeah, because it has a lot of RNG to it.
CDDA is great. Sure, it's hard blind, but once you get the mechanics down it's easy to survive a few months! In game. Until a zombie bone hulk sends you flying through a wall.
It's Project Zomboid, but I install a new mod every time a zombie...uh...re-dies.
Jabo: when is the part of me getting good at the game?
Me with my 1000+ hours: Now thats the neat part! You dont.
You don't get good. You get paranoid.
You become a husk of your old self whose haunted by the past, and all of the trauma and bloodshed.
You never get good at the game. It just gets to the point where your blood, sweat, and tears convinces RNGesus to show a sliver of mercy.
I feel like thats how this game and kenshi go. Never get good. Just find ways around your draw backs on the fly
@@brandon9172I'm exactly the same! I went from curiosity to fear, so strange the game does that to you honestly
@@kollinhackett6031only for you to let your guard down as you go into a tiny room with a shelf and get bit 😂
This makes me wanna watch Cars 2 starring Mater from the Cars Franchise
You know what, understandable
Have a good day
Life is a highway
Jabo you didn’t tell me you made another channel!
So that's why Mater's in that thumbnail...
You should probably use testosterone supplements instead.
A few tips:
1. Fences are your friends, as when a zombie lunges over them they are on the ground. If you can dodge the lunge, you can get behind them and stomp on their heads, killing them rather quick.
2. Fire is ambivalent, as a molotov or a campfire can clear entire hordes with some time. It also burns whatever they had on them and sometimes the entire neighborhood. Parking lots are the best for this as concrete doesn't burn.
3. Doors and stairs are not your friends.
3a. Vanilla Zomboid, to avoid the fps from chugging, will only spawn zombies when an interior is observed. This leads to Zombie closets as a veritable clowncar of zombies pour out of a small spaces. Door flashing (opening/closing a door quick) is the best solution for this.
3b. you can't see zombies at the top of stairs. A sprinter in this location has been the death of many characters. Yelling is preferable.
Or whispering. If you crouch and press Q, you can attract the attention of only very close-by zombies.
@@MartinFinnerup oh yes, I nearly forgot about whispering.
"I'm going to drive very carefully"
*Tire pops IMMEDIATELY after*
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
This part had me dead. Love the videos man :)
Love how you synced up the "But im not smart" to the music around 1:15
Love the intro with the reference to Return of the Obra Dinn
First thing I thought of when I saw the babypoop green background 😂
@@broeretop1 yep same lol

This game always holds a great place in my heart. I remember it being around 13 or so years ago now. Back before this game was on steam, it was on another distribution platform in early access. The platform was janky, small, and full of free games, demos, alphas - think it started with a P?
But you could message developers directly on it for feedback and comments. And I messaged the developers of Project Zomboid there, telling them how amazed and impressed I was at their ability to set a tone and story tell in their opening tutorial prologue.
They reached back and thanked me for my words and said it meant a lot to them.
Glad over a decade later Project Zomboid knocked it out of the park.
Desura was the name of the distro platform.
YO! You're right! I was way off with 'P' hahahaha! @@thisistherevolt
@@AlvadarIronroot I mean P and D are pretty close aesthetically.
Both a vertical straight line with a convex "belly" starting at the top.
For D the curve goes to the bottom while for P it goes to the middle.
Oftentimes when we remember things we try to visualize them in our mind. And P and D are similar enough for your brain to fill this memory with either of them.
I'm loving this recent explosion of Zomboid content on RUclips! Can't wait to see the new blood the big update this year will bring
It taking them so long to readd multiplayer probably stilted its growth.
I got news dawg
The crossover the world needed
Yooo it's bear798
I watch your shorts regularly on 2 different accounts
The editing in the intro was top tier, I was not expecting those laughs
26:06 "If you classify this as a steakhouse" got me
Kenshi videos would always be beloved here! Unlimited stories, so many unpredictable outcomes.
Great editing and pace in the intro to the video, nice to see the videos constantly improving and evolving, keep up the good work mate
Fail the last part of my motorcycle test today, really needed a Jabo video ❤
You'll pass it next time 100%
Skill issue ❤
Considering the last part of the test is the actual riding part your correct lol@@Hugo_Golden
@@Jacobtheunwise it was only a joke, hope they get it next time :)
Love Your Videos @@ItsJabo
49:05 Idk, I'm not a 2k hours PZ player, I'm just a 1600h PZ player, and from where I stand your playthrough is fun to watch and bring all kinds of memories of how I f*cked so many of my promising games. You have some trolls in your chat, though, who clearly want your character dead. But I guess you figured that out. :D
Hearing those horrible screams as Jabo was eaten alive by the horde… shits absolutely fucking terrifying, can’t watch this shit no more 💀
The editing on this one is just sick, especially the music synchronized with the narration/events. Great!
Watched the VODS in the dump channel, and I was EAGER to watch the edited video. I'm really hoping to see more PZ in your channel man, awesome game.
This is a huge win for the JOOVBO Stan community
This is crazy, I was just thinking about how good Zomboid Challenge videos would be with Jabo on them
Love your content Jabo! Your hilarious videos are what gets me through the daily struggles that we call “being British” so keep doing what you’re doing brother!
As a 2000 hour Zomboid player I gotta say you did pretty good. 18 days is a good little while to survive.
Thanks man
Seeing Jabo upload since awhile is like seeing your dad finally comeback from the store with the milk and cigarettes.
you can disinfect rags in boiling water, i usually fill a saucepan, do NOT waste the main component in making the molotov
ive been absolutly loving your zomboid content, its cool to see you learn keep it up
Very fun video Jabo. I cant tell you how much I enjoyed the streams. Hope to see a zomboid challenge run or two in the future.
I'm glad Joov was here to balance out the living meme boy, Jabo.
First rule of project zomboid: everything can and will kill you, including but not limited to; dirty water puddles, your own driving, screaming, honking in a car, eating uncooked or rotten food, glass in your dong, glass in your ass, glas in your feet, glass everywhere, fire, a helicopter, a jammed gun, stumbling, getting scratched by a tree and last but not least zombies.
Welcome to the zomboid community!!
It's such an incredible community and there's SOOO much to offer. We're happy you're here ^.^
This game is...insane lol. I've never played a game that FORCED you to get better like how this one does. You will die over and over again until you improve. This game will curb stomp you until you get better. You will improve or die trying. There is no in-between. And you WILL die. Its not an if, but a when. All it takes is a singular mistake, a single lapse in judgement, one small hiccup, and boom. Run ended. Best I've survived is 20 days. Haven't played for awhile, I might jump back on after watching this tho.
Clearly never played C:DDA
sir loin #5 was fated to die from the moment the sub count reached The Bad Number during his lifetime
rest in piece
Love how he keeps going out despite his character dying from the lack of sleep
I see what you mean, now that I’ve watched you play it I wanna watch you play this game so much more!
That was an excellent video. I hope to see more also "the Long Drive" video over on the dumpster channel is very entertaining as well.
How do you not have 500k subs yet and you're one of my favorite youtubers that Britten my every time i watch your videos.
Getting better at this game is… well I am more paranoid, but I’m probably not “better”, the closest to better is being less afraid when I play alone, but holy crap is this game still scary and new even after a lot of hours
I really enjoy watching new players stream PZ or playing with new players. The game really is great, it turns a lot of people off with the isometric graphics and cumbersome UI but like you said, if you can get passed that, it's a very special game. And don't feel bad about dying, I've been playing PZ since '15, have just about 4k hours in it and my average survivor lives about 4-6 months. Also the way you die when your new vs when you've been playing a long time: New players: Die in a blaze of glory trying to kill half of Rosewood with a frying pan. Experienced players die 2 years in after a zombie sneaked up on them in the woods and lands a neck bite, while the survivor was eating a raw cabbage. That last part was a true story, RIP Darvia Corn.
I love how i havnt seen any of these big youtubers play this game until i played it. Must be the matrix glitching again
Love the obra dinn reference at the start
I love how he's infected like half the time anyways first run
😂😂😂
You will be missed David O7
From the 750h into PZ perspective, it feels like watching a child have fun with toys and you know you can never have that fun with it again
Jabo AND Joov walking past a pickaxe on the road hurts my soul.
One thing that’s consistent with this game is broken bones from combat, biting off more than you can chew, dying because you couldn’t see in the forest, getting bitten and not realize you are already dead, and the dreaded helicopter
Glad to see another RUclipsr getting into Zomboid, such a great amount of content can be made from it.
"Fuck David because he almost killed me when he subconsciously forced me to take him with me as a coping mechanism for my own impending mortality."
After putting 1000+ hours into this game I love seeing new players start. Always makes for a great video imo. Hope you do more with zomboid
I loved the ad fakeout
1:15 the music sync here is so good
Zomboid gets everyone at some point. After you get used to everything and start finding out what works best for you, it gets to a point you can survive for months and kill tens of thousands of zeds.
Dont be too hard on yourself. It's just a hard game with the intent of showing that brutality of living in a hopeless scenario. Hope to see more of this sometime! I Love content from this game!
"Is it fine to drive?" he asks.
*cuts to him going like 80km/h into a T*
I think the better question is if you are fine to drive, the answer is no.
Love that we had the same character idea... waltuh never dies
Bro walked past a pickaxe, I'm crying.
I love when ItsJavo and Joob collab
PZ is a "high risk, high reward" type of game, and that's exactly why i want it.
It could help to turn on camera panning while driving in the settings. It pans the camera ahead of you while driving, so you can actually see what's ahead.
KInda wait to see him doing "Project Zomboid but everytime I died, I installing a mod"
Dude, that would be insane
"Among us nugget"
"The entire shrek movie VHS"
"Cryogenic winter"
@@brandon9172 lmao
The rhyming on beat intro is nuts
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking "my first tike"
PLEASE do more zomboid. This is genuinely one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen in years
Project zomboid is easily one of my favourite games. What it lacks in graphics it makes up for in depth. I'm glad you decided to make this video. More people need to try it out.
its funny seeing jabo play zomboid for the first time and the starting is him doing the hardest difficulty and drives and fucking crashes twice
Hilarious video, watched you & Joov stream this a while ago glad to see you kept playing, really enjoyed watching.
Hearing the Bug's Life game main menu theme around 28 minutes in was a blast from the past and something I didn't expect Jabo to use for one of his videos. That was awesome
I am desperate for more Jabo + Joov content! I hope you guys find time to play together more in the future!
I swear down, jabo is actually the most entertaining person on the internet
omg i dont remember the Obra Dinn reference in the beginning when i first watched it but that's an amazing bit
The Really CD DA start is a reference to the Really Bad Day start for Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, which is one of the hardest starts S:DDA has. I loved that old Rogue-like that they referenced with this Zomboid difficulty. Vehicles are an even bigger thing for C:DDA, where you can build your own mobile fortress of a mobile home with all the stuff you need for a base on the road... so long as you have the skill and parts.
"NOOO! IT WAS GOING SO WELL!"
Every. Fucking. Time.
Watching JOOV and JABO playing... it's like a dream.. of doppelgangers...
I've been debating getting this game for ages now, guess I can just watch jabo play and decide off that
I can assure you that PZ is a good purchase
@@ItsJabomessaged received, game bought
You should try the Only Cure mod, it lets you cut off either of your arms to prevent infection, but you can only hold things with the remaining hand, and most animation times are slowed.
Hey Jabo, just wanted to show some love. Your videos puts me in good mood and they are very fun to watch. Hope you are doing well!
This game looks nuts but so much fun. The limited view looks scary!
PZ is one of my favorite games, and is the primary game I watch full streams for. I came across your channel looking for PZ content that actually plays the game for survival, not for guns guns guns guns. I have really enjoyed your PZ streams, and love your presentation of the game to your existing viewers. It absolutely is a game that rewards cowardice and thinking with your head first, and I am so excited to see what you make of it when you get a tighter grip on things, and figure out what mods make the game feel balanced for you.
Jabo playing my favourite games, first Sims, now project zomboid, now he just has to play Rimworld!
The Obra Dinn reference omg
Jabo at the start of the video: I would rather die standing, than live knealing
52:27 That's unfortunate that you didn't like this place and decided to leave without checking it, because if I'm not mistaken, it's full of military equipement.
Upvoted for the excellent use of “L’amour est un Oiseau Rebelle”
jabo becoming a project zomboid creator is the best surprise of 2024
This is the first jabo video that I’ve watched all the vods for before it came out
Project Zomboid is an impressive game, and I respect the devs a lot for the time and effort they are still putting into updates for it.
it wasn't for me when I played it 2 years ago, though. it's very likely that I was just playing it wrong, but it bored me out of my mind whenever my life wasn't in imminent danger. maybe the simulation elements of managing your health and diet just felt too real, and I was reminded of how I'd most likely be completely useless in an actual apocalypse without someone to look after me.
Best advice for this game is to see items as resources/materials. A chair isn't a chair anymore. It's wood and carpentry experience.
I can't wait to see Hogarth, General Sam's son, play the wonderful game of Project Zomboid.
my one recommendation that made me get better as a player is start a world with only one goal: brawl. Make a character w no traits and fight every zombie that shows up on screen. You can even learn to escape situations by trying to loop them through houses when you start getting exerted. Learning to fight through meaningless battles in separate worlds will boost your confidence in hordes.
But a single zombie is still just as deadly sometimes.
Bro me and my friends used to play with an enhanced horde mod and the sheer amount of "we're fucked, i need to top up my mags, theres hundreds of them and ive nearly been bit 10 times, we are literally backs to backs getting swarmed on all sides" adrenaline inducing final hold outs where we got through by skin of our teeth, good fuckin times
Jabo is really trying to convince anyone that he and Joov are two different people
that last attempt was good, you did well (i play the game a lot so that apparently means that my opinion matters)
29:00 When you buy your first car as a young person:
Carmen fits perfectly with the edition
the death sound in the first one made me think that Sir Loin just kneeled down and shot himself
thismybee wutinee tobus 🥴
I want to see him play with respawns deactivated
Project Zomboid is an eazy game but when gameplay stacks you will definetly take it as a hard game.
If you make a campfire you can bait the zombies to walk over and kill hordes easily. (just don't catch on fire)
So glad you made a video on this game, I love it. Can't wait to watch this beauty
Jabo, ground zombie hit location is based on where your feet are. If you stand on the waist and the animation shows a headshot it was a body shot. Stand on the heads and swing tword the body. There is a good video explaining this.
