I adore how Zomboid is very grounded like that. It feels like it purposefully avoids giving the player a power fantasy. Or more accurately I’d say it tries to deceive the player by making them think they’re powerful but then rips it away by throwing something at them. It’s really addicting, I have to imagine it’s not for everyone though
MO: Astray sounds familiar. I wonder if I picked up a Bundle with it in it too. I’ll have to look into it though because 90% of my Humble library is unplayed
Basically, me and my friend work together though so generally he dies when I die. I’m always the main Defense and Engineering guy and he’s like the group Farmer
It was one of those things where I can tell there was a lot of love and care put into it, but I just personally couldn’t get into it. I have a copy of the Soundtrack from a friend though that they didn’t want for some reason so I can admit it’s really good
That’s basically what it was like, except with a generic suburban dad lol. We did it with 4 whole floors and somehow only ran out of Shotgun shells on the last floor
We’ll probably be scavenging Metal Sheets and Planks all day the next time we play. It’ll be worth it though for the most egregious base for 2 people ever
Zomboid is very much like that. You can kind of develop a 6th sense as too what buildings are dangerous with how the game loves to fuck the player over (in a good way). It’s a fun experience all around though
I tried the demo and couldn’t really get into Hades unfortunately. Though it probably had my lack of interest in Greek Mythology working against it. Maybe i’ll try picking it up again though, that was years ago and i’ve found my tastes have changed
I’ve really been interest in trying Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 lately. I’ve been holding off on reading anything about it to avoid spoilers though. I might look into Skald: Against the Black Priory. I’m very picky about my RPGs but generally story heavy ones i enjoy
I’d say yeah. It still holds up really well even after all this time. There is some product placement, but honestly, it’s not intrusive enough that I feel like it takes away from the experience. Honestly, in some respect, I think it adds too. The only issue I really noticed Was that in the non-remastered version, the cut scenes are video files and you can tell they were compressed
It’s been very nice seeing familiar faces like yours through the screenshots!
I’m absolute ass at names, so profile pictures are the only way I can really remember people. So between you, the Monster Hunter Slime Guy, and the guy with the Sonic Pride PFP it’s been very nice having some consistent faces. And I’m sure there’s others too that I just can’t remember the name of since they have generic profile picture. But I’m glad to have them there too. So basically I appreciate you too
It very much was a night of celebration. I went out and got pizza and played some more Halo 3 with friends before sleeping in. Very much though if I did end up streaming, I think it would be disconnected from these screenshots. It would be its own separate project because I’d like it to be able to stand on its own. I’d probably keep it disconnected entirely. Probably even its own account.
I’d say it’s more so that I play a game and I’ll see something that makes me go “wow that’s cool”. So I’ll take a screenshot to share with friends. And I’ve been doing this for years. And I only have like 20 screenshots for a game at the end of the day. And initial initially It just started me showing off the backlog.
But it kind of turned into doing new screenshots every day. And I’m a college student, who right now doesn’t have a job. So, I have a lot of free time.
I have considered doing a blog. Maybe not YouTube reviews. Very much for me this is more like “here’s a cool thing I like. I like this. here’s why” and I feel like reviews, while they have their own merit, kind of take away from that. Because some of the games that I have played, I think there’s no denying that they’re bad games. I still like them though.
Though now I’m typing that, I suppose offering my opinion on these games as in a way made me a sort of reviewer. So regardless of whether I want to or not, my words hold some weight
RPCS3 runs like a miracle if you have the specs. If you can I’d suggest it. I’m kind of contemplating setting it up myself just to play them again. Or maybe trying that PS4 emulator I’ve heard so much about.
Alternatively, I bought my PS3 used for around $60 on eBay. And this is one of the models that can be soft modded with CFW so if you’d like to acquire it with “alternative” methods it’s an option. But even then, I was able to get disc copies of the second and third games for around $10 apiece
