    • @CatsOverdrive
      @CatsOverdrive 8 месяцев назад

      Pretty much Dying Light 1's setting and premise. "zombie apocalypse" contained and occurring in a third-world city. Everyone inside it struggle for survival while the world outside watch. Brushed on the story how the government of that country(and the 'humanitarian' group that partnered with them) is just making sh*t up for the masses about what's really going on, much to the frustration of the people inside who could intercept/witness the b.s. narrative, being played for the outside audience.
      It's that interesting position where everything has gone to shit, but it's not really the end of the world. It's a frightening, extraordinary thing, happening at such unknown city, of some unimportant country. SO yeah, it's bad, but it's "not a big deal" to the world at large.
      one of my favorite little detail in the game is the random NPC merchants; while usual merchants around the game's world are locals, some of the sellers are outsiders who found a way to break in, dragging bags of kitchen utensils and home-depot/d.i.y. tools of varying quality, reselling them to survivors at ludicrous prices, because hey; "this brand new hammer and crowbar is incredible at bashing z-heads, compared to that rusty kitchen knife and wood plank you just picked up from the floor. Me? stuck here? Sure, so I'm just gonna hide somewhere later and let this thing blow over..."
      I really like the sidequests in the game for how it paints a picture at alot of different people, on how they get by and deal/live with the situation.
      It's that state and mood where people(from the citizens to the government, to the outside world) are treating the zombie outbreak the same way as an ongoing natural calamity or a military occupation. And with the hindsight of what happened in 2021, it's now more relatable than ever.

      @@Valcorian the spyware program is called ACE, its developed and maintained by Tencent, the devs is false flagging posts on the subject on steam to silence people from spreading awareness, the game was also caught red handed altering your PC serttings, to be specific, in the GPU.bat file that launch with the game there is a single line, "powercfg -s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c" what this means is that it sets your power settings to high performance, meaning your PC will go all in for maximum performance, not specifically a inherently bad setting, the issue here is that the game changes this setting without your permission and without informing you, after getting caught they may or may not have removed this from the game by now, dont know and dont have any plans to instal to find out.

      @fyregus 7 месяцев назад +84

      Zomboid has been out for nearly 15+ years now and it has had all the time in the world to realize it's full potential. But no, they've been piggy backing off of people who make mods for their games in order to make it even fun. I know dread dawn will be different but also very similar to zomboid but if they play their cards right, it could be what zomboid was supposed to be. Zomboid would be so much nicer if they had better crafting, animals that live in the world with you, other NPC survivors, some sort of end game. It's just a sandbox that gets boring if you've been playing long enough and it's always a good game to come back to once in a while. But I always end up asking myself about an hour after playing "Why am i playing this boring game again?".

    To be true I don’t want a game with “too many zombies” but a game with just enough for them to be a threat and personally Project zombiod did a amazing job on bringing that and from the looks of it Dread Dawn had a little too much so I’m hoping the devs will make a mode where you can play with fewer zombies.
    (I don’t want the game to be too focused about killing zombies and running away 24/7 but rather want the “Survive in the dead city”look for rations and accommodations and stuff like that)

    • @PersonMcHuman
      @PersonMcHuman 7 месяцев назад +33

      If only it looked better. "The best survival zombie game anyone could ask for" is not what Zomboid is. I'd kill for something with the survival of Zomboid, looks at minimum like State of Decay 2, and is actually on consoles too so I can play it with friends.

    • @violarodrigueza
      @violarodrigueza 7 месяцев назад +53

      I have heard many people talk about how project zomboid looks like, I know a lot of people want it to look "better" but keep in mind that PZ looks the way that it does because the way the world acts makes it work. It would be extremely hard to replicate PZ into a first person game for example, or even something like State of Decay 2. The graphics aren't the prettiest and they are definitely a preference to some, but if PZ had gameplay like State of Decay 2 then it wouldn't be PZ anymore. PZ can only work the way the game is already, there have been many games where they have tried to make a realistic zombie survival game with 3rd or 1st person but it never works as well as PZ, simply because the atmosphere of PZ makes it such a good game.@@PersonMcHuman

    A lil' warning that this game looks hella suspicious, several people on Steam claim the game opens something in the background and a lot of them can't uninstall the game without uninstalling something called ZC.exe, the company that made this game is Chinese and literally came out of nowhere, the devs did make an also suspicious reponse to these accusations but it doesn't help that they later on deleted it, also, the weird as hell banners in the school were made via AI and it's not even indicated anywhere.
    Personally? I'd stick with Project Zomboid on this one, while it might be paid, atleast you don't take the risk of downloading a potential malware.

    • @zrehirs
      @zrehirs 4 месяца назад +2

      I used Sandboxie with the game. It's not a fully ready product, and it's only been released as a demo from what I know so far. The game seems to have several other names - likely because of improper translation or that they were indecisive with the name. Regardless, it's not really malware, it's just badly coded. First off, it seems like it tries to turn on high performance mode in power options, which is indeed interesting, but I don't think they planned that to be malicious. The game also remaining in background is also most likely because it does not close properly. All in all, not a final product, not that great, but it does look interesting and I hope something great is made with that concept, even with all these "errs" that appeared since the release of the demo. I just hope I was right in my judgement and that this was not something malicious meant to harm people's computers.

    Post-Demo Thoughts +3 / -3 / =3 from steam
    Pro's:
    - The NPC's spread throughout the world make it feel alive unlike most zombie games.
    - The ability to loot just about any object is nice, unlike many games that have artificial scarcity.
    - The story driven element is a nice touch, most zombie games just drop the player into the world like a sandbox.
    Con's:
    - The hit boxes on enemies when using weapons or shooting is not very clear.
    - The Demo's building system was very bare bones, expected but still disappointing.
    - It would be nice if the U.I. better explained how to open menu's instead of having to read through the control options,
    Preferences:
    - I can't say I am a fan of durability systems since they are just time wasters, a option to play the game without it would be greatly preferred.
    - It would be nice if the hunger system was simplified. As in, you just need to have X amount of food in a base food storage. Like a colony sim, the game would let you know how much food you need per week based on how many survivors you have instead of having to micro-manage survivors.
    - The ability to have survivors go out and gather supplies for you from zones already explored would also be very nice. So you don't have to run back and forth carrying supplies which could just be handled by the NPCs.

Everyone without a crowbar or and axe(though it wouldnt be that efective against a steel door ) would have no chance of escaping in time. Later on you want something like a machete since its small enough to swing indoors and it wont get stuck in the zombies head like a axe will,going back to why the axe isnt my first pick.

      It's generally always best in these kind of end state scenarios to not trust any governmental organised plan, the reason being you are simply a liability for military or federalised police forces and to simply go your own way.
      You're just another mouth to feed, another person liable to becoming sick amongst a crowd of people exactly the same as you.
      For anyone crying that I'm wrong look at how federal authorities handled Katrina - no better example as that.

  • @bearnaff9387
    @bearnaff9387 5 месяцев назад

    Ranged? An overcharged paintball gun might work if you use lead balls. You can shoot and carry a lot of ammo and recharging the gun can be done with a solar-powered compressor. It depends on how tough zombie skulls are (and if it requires headshots to kill them). Barring that, a .22LR rifle isn't bad for non--CQC. The ammo is super-plentiful, you can again carry a lot, and it's surprisingly long-range - not that I can reliably hit things beyond 10m.
    A close-up weapon would be one of the chunky calibers with (hopefully) hollow-point ammo. .357, 10mm, .40 calier, or .45ACP. That last one was technically made for zombies after a fashion. The army switched from a .38 round to the .45ACP in the Colt 1911 during the Phillipines war. The Moro combatants did not have much in the way of firearms. They did, however, have tight cloth wraps and a local combat drug. The combination meant that a Moro warrior could run up on a trench while taking fire and still engage in melee combat for a bit before dying. The heavier, and slower, .45ACP round transferred most of its force into the person it hit, shattering bones, pulping muscles, and knocking the opponent down.
    If zombification relies on the presence of tissues to animate, blowing chunks out of a zombie will reduce its ability to threaten even without a headshot.
    Melee? My favorite antizombie melee weapon is a trained buddy with some kind of polearm, even a crutch will do. Half the time, their job would be to keep approaching zombies shoved back and knocking the zombie we're targeting down. The other job would be to use whatever skull-breaking weapon we can swing to, well, break the skulls of downed zombies. Task switches would happen regularly to reduce fatigue. This tactic really only works best when your fighters are only outnumbered 3-4/1 at any given time, but it should work.

      ​@@app_manifestation yes i was talking zomboid, map has over a million zombies on map but it culls at 500 mobs entities on screen. i heard they want to up both max an cull max in optimizations when 42 is out and optimized, the nightmare that is dealing with the mass of monsters in progresses, when you do not cull the zombies leads to ram an fps drops. some severs turn off culling in 41 servers but lowers the max to solve the slow down. the update they sated they should be able to up the zombies count from 10-30 during internal testing what i am taking into account, this means we might be-able to see swarms of an easy 1000 plus not culled, without an fps hit.
      thus this makes me wish these games devs good luck on how they will solve this in future builds they might be forced to cull the mass of zombies back down to 500 as the builds become more developed with cc. along with wishing them luck on how they might solve showing skyscrapers an basements.

    It could have been but I don't think so. I played it for a bit, wasn't too happy that you have to play as a premade character who respawns if killed. In Project Zomboid, you create your character and if you're killed, you're dead, you make a new character you can find your dead character as a zombie or corpse, you can make as many characters as you wish, kill them off, populate your world as you want, explore the aftermath with a new character, that is what is great about PZ. I can't look at other zombie survival games anymore, especially if you respawn instead of being dead permanently. Other zombie games need to take notes from PZ. This game right here has potential, it just needs some tweaks.

    But there are few games broke that curse. 🧙‍♂️

    Definitely not the same as Zomboid but it has some promising elements. I like the concept of other survivors being out there and there being an initial outbreak. It would be cool to have a randomly generated world and you can choose to start at the initial outbreak. I would love to see an open world survival game start during normal civilization and you don't know when the infection will start. Giving you time to prepare or just roleplay like nothing will happen or something. I've heard rumours that Project Zomboid might have something like that but i still think it would be amazing and it can add so much immersion to games like this.

    you keep asking how its taking so long to evacuate a university, in my thoughts the University was an early evacuation centre for anyone who made it there so there are probably 100s of people living there. Also the fact that they are evacuating again means that there is somewhere more secure but obviously the route between is not safe due to millions of zombies so they probably cant take alot of people each time

      while there are many inconsistencies this is still a demo

    only thing this game beats PZ in is graphics, everything else is nothing close
