Oh, the Project Zomboid has coop? Didn’t know that. Is it friends-only or on some common server or what? Are the survival aspects (difficulty) adjustable?

Ozymandias88,

It’s friends only where you can join the game a friend is running. (Also splitscreen if you’re local). It’s super customisable by the person who sets the game up. Pretty much everything is adjustable.

if you don’t mind me asking for bit more details: how is death on single/multiplayer? Is it roguelitey-death-and-that’s-it or is there respawning?

miltsi,

Iirc if you die your character becomes a zombie that can be looted. You lose all skill progress and have to make a new character. The amount of loot retained from the zombie can be modified. I think there are mods that allow you to retain skill progression as well.

Malix,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

Sounds cool. Thank you!

Gotta rummage through the available mods, but def considering picking this one up now.

mitch,
@mitch@piefed.mitch.science avatar

my friends and I utilize a mod that records your skills in a notebook that stays on your zombie after you die. so you actually have a motivation to go back into somewhere dangerous and clean it up.

SomethingBlack,

There are plenty of “private” servers that are technically open to anyone. Just follow the rules and enjoy the game.

You’ll see a lot of “B42” or “build 42” being talked about. This is the most recent major update that is still in beta. It doesn’t have multiplayer but does offer A LOT of new and improved features.

Malix,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

Thank you for the info. But, nah, playing with random peeps not really my thing, me and my gaming circle basically just want friends-only.

So… if I’m parsing this right, the latest version doesn’t do multiplayer, but earlier ones do? Or is this “B42” some beta-branch you need to manually select in steam->game properties?

SomethingBlack,

B42 is a beta branch like you say, you have to opt in to play it. The current version does do multiplayer, I’m currently running my own server for my friends on the current version

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It does! It has a lot of options too. You can do Splitscreen, or host just for friends, or hop on a server somebody else is making! If you’re hosting the difficulty is also adjustable down to most major points

What’s the Helicopter? Bad guys?

Tar_alcaran,

The helicopter is a helicopter. After about a week, it arrives and if it spots you, it follows/observes you for nonspecific reasons.

The helicopter is also extremely loud, drawing zombies from a huge distance to you. The best way to deal with it is by being inside, so it doesn’t spot you. Then it’ll just fly around and not do much.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Ah okay. Thanks for the info.

mitch,
@mitch@piefed.mitch.science avatar

it's a random event that happens sometime in the beginning of any new game — in story, it's a military black hawk helicopter flying over the Knox County area looking for survivors.

The effect in-game is that the zombies in the world all gather around to follow the noise source, which controls and drives a gigantic crowd of zombies around where you're at. It can be very overwhelming, especially when you're just starting out and don't have much by way of structures built.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a random event that spawns. I believe in lore it’s scientists or reporters or something. The only effect really is that if you’re outside the Helicopter follows you and all the noise calls Zombies to your location. I’ve seen a few mods that add different helicopter types though

What are you on about? Valve removed content that was recently popularized and controversial becauze of its rapey and violent incest.

You can still find a plethora of NSFW,LGBTQIA+,Fauxcest,rapey,violent content on Steam… if you know where to look.

With a username like yours I'd be really fucking careful about conflating those things. Then again, I don't go putting "88" in mine, so what do I know?

atticus88th,

88th has been around longer than nazis, but then again… you see what you want to see because of your ignorance and I forgive you for that.

It's almost as though I said it's suspicious specifically because of the context you put yourself in by making that conflation.

vonxylofon, do games w Robocop: Rouge City

As someone who understands Czech, playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was torture.

Quicky,

What I wouldn't give for a new Deus Ex game. The only news I ever read about one is another cancellation.

Robocop has a similar vibe, albeit a Fisher Price version. And weirdly the new Indiana Jones game kind of scratches that itch, where you're wandering around an open environment, with multiple access points and secrets hidden away that'll reward those paying attention. Neither come close to just how detailed and cool the Deus Ex games were though.

So, as a born and raised Czech I shouldn’t play it?

vonxylofon,

You will have a lot of unintended fun and cringe moments regarding the language. Apartheid-style benches for non-augmented people only with a sign “Přirozené pouze” makes me laugh and cringe to this day. Prague’s Old town is translated as “Starý čtvrt”, which is just sad.

It’s an okay game otherwise. Not nearly as good as Human Revolution, but good enough to scratch that DE itch.

Darkcoffee, do games w Steam had already shown its true face, itch.io and GOG are fighting censorship alone.

You do understand that without payment processors they lose all revenue streams altogether, right? Like, none of us can buy games anymore.

The oligopoly in that industry is insane.

If you’ve got a wheel and pedals, F1 2019 is pretty fun and doesn’t have a lot of the forced online hoops you need to jump through for later editions like 2024.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Correct me if I’m wrong: they all complied because action from the payment processors was imminent, and GOG and Itch have both made public statements about next steps that Valve hasn’t, which doesn’t mean that Valve isn’t taking next steps. Did I miss anything?

hoshikarakitaridia,
@hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah unlike other big companies, Valve still has some trust to rely on. Let’s wait for what they’re saying and doing first.

Also, the quickest path to success will always be to reignin the payment processors. Which should be a no-brainer anyway; they should have no influence on content decisions.

That was also in the '90s, before people could be bothered to give half a shit. Fresh off the 80s Masters of the Universe style. It still wasn’t cool for kids back then. No reason for her to have a revealing vine fit. Tangent, but I still hear all that music in my head constantly. It slaps.

They also didnt tone it down at all for the 3ds re-master(?) of it.

Oh for real? I didn’t play that. Part of me says preserve it as it was and part of me says they had the chance and still chose horny.

shani66,

They said it should be rated for everyone. Do you think a five year old should play this? Do you think showing your voluptuous side boob is necessary in an E rated game? I think its fine in a T rated game. But I dont need my kids asking why the therapist is showing her boobs to off-duty Santa Clause

Another vote for turn based RPGs, but that also includes ones like Pokémon.

This kinda isn’t in the same genre as normal racing. But Lonely Mountain Downhill is a game where you’re mountain biking and trying to go faster and faster to beat certain goals or personal records. It’s adorable and fun
