It really is. I’ve been keeping an eye out for games that come close but really there aren’t a lot which is a shame

They’re up there as some of my favorites. Ever since I played them last year I’ve been wanting to play them yearly

It’s Max Payne 2! It’s a bit old so you may have seen it before online (or maybe even played it yourself)

Their work is awesome. I want to see them live. I was actually just listening to them on the way to class today.

Remedy sticking with them is something I love. Something about their work feels like authentic. I don’t mean it as a jab to songs made for video games, but a lot of the time songs made for video games have this “feel” where you can tell “yep. That’s tied to a specific game”. Something about PoTF’s work though feels like it’s an actual album

There’s some parts where i forget that it’s PS2 era. It really feels like something from the next gen. It’s surreal

Alan Wake. And on a grander scope almost all of Remedy’s stuff. They put everything together where it feels like there’s more out there. There’s no seam in the metaphorical stitching. It feels like even when you reach the end of something there is more.

From less of a deep standpoint? The 3DS fire emblem games. They do some really cool stuff that connects them together.

I almost considered referencing you when I mentioned that, but I know some people aren’t cool with that.

Thanks for the source too. I was thinking to myself last night “I should look for a source for this” but decided to put it off for today lol.

Hiring people who hate the franchise seems like a horrible move. I suppose I can see what the idea was, but I still can’t believe nobody higher up thought “wow. This seems like a horrible idea. Why are we doing this?”

Halo 5, ultimately feels like more 4 to me, so I’d say you’re not missing much besides the lore. But yeah, the design is really the worst part here.

Now that you mention the bright colors and standout interactive pieces of the earlier games, that’s definitely the difference I’m noticing between these. Like with the shutter door I mentioned. It really does not look like you can smash through it or interact with it in anyway.

I’m a college student currently living with his parents and i don’t work, and I planned my courses really well. Like right now I only have classes 3/7 days a week. So the result is just a lot of free time on my hand. And I’ve always been kind of diligent about personal chores (or found ways to be efficient about them)

So outside of class time, I really only spend my time studying, playing games, and hanging out with friends. It’s really a situation I’m lucky (and thankful to have)

This one was fun with friends. I saw a YouTuber a few years ago play one that also looked interesting but I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called.

I wouldn’t mind one of these that looks like it’s going to pan out to be a horror game but then just is a regular Late Shift game

MyNameIsAtticus, 2 dni temu

I wouldn’t say it’s a “different” game, but I play a lot with friends and they like to bounce around or try new things (and I tend to get distracted by other games too).

Sometimes you’ll notice me get really hooked on a game and play that for like a week straight. I think Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Silent Hill f were the last single player games I got hooked on like that. I tried to get into Resident Evil 2 during October too but something about it I couldn’t get into at the time. Maybe some other time.

I can see this reflected in the game for sure. It feels very COD-esque. The sprint always being an option is definitely the stand out example of this, but there’s also how much faster it feels in general. Along with the AR feeling more precise

I wish i had grown up on Halo, having played most of the games now. When i was first starting to get into gaming Halo 3 had just released and i tried it and wrote it off as just a Sci-fi multiplayer shooter. I was young, but damn. I didn’t know what i was missing out on. I had no idea about the Flood and the entire campaign. It took a while for me to realize the Flood was A actual enemy, and not some name for Zombies in the Infection mood.

Rimworld has been on my list for a bit. Same with Factorio, but i have Satisfactory which afaik is a similar vibe. I’ve been meaning to pick them both up though, i just keep putting it off

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 dni temu

We haven’t really made a lore explanation for it. They are the same character we know, but as far as continuity, we make references though to previous “lore events” though and treat it like it’s just another day of the zombie apocalypse. I guess if i had to try and explain it, some unexplained event happened that caused Jerry and Cable to have to start over?

Jerry and Cable in Baldurs Gate was a Dimension hop though

MyNameIsAtticus, 6 dni temu

For sure, at least imo. I have met a few people who prefer singleplayer. Multiplayer and Singleplayer honestly though feel like two completely different vibes

I hadn’t thought of tearing down the stairs, it’s a good idea. We had gotten a sledge hammer we found on the side of the road on the way there so maybe we’ll give it a try

Someone actually suggested it the other day to me on one of these posts and it looked interesting. I was having network issues at the time but it looked good and i saved it for later

MyNameIsAtticus, 9 dni temu

Thanks for that. It’s reassuring to know there are some safe places.

Is the main lobby area of the station excluded from this? I went down to the typewriter there and while i was saving he snuck up on me clocked poor Leon in the face.

MyNameIsAtticus, 9 dni temu

I feel that lol. He really is a terrifying threat. I’m not used to my horror games basically throwing a big invincible enemy at me, especially for such a long period of time

MyNameIsAtticus, 9 dni temu

Even now some of the puzzles (in the remake at least) are a challenge for me. It took me a minute to recognize the pattern of the safe.

MyNameIsAtticus, 9 dni temu

Ah. Okay. That makes sense. I looked it up on online and saw the same thing and just assumed it was something limited to the original game since the lobby doesn’t seem to protect him. It’s reassuring though to know there’s places for me to catch my breath

It’s a bit like the Sims 1 meets a Zombie game. It’s a good time. I’d recommend giving it a try if you can

MyNameIsAtticus, 11 dni temu

It is playable solo. I have the most fun playing with friends, but there’s a great deal of fun to be had playing Single Player too. It has different vibes single player but id stills recommend it

When I started this it was at some point in my life. Around the 30 day mark though it just kind of evolved into 1 Game Daily.

I have a really open schedule right now (I’m a college student and only have classes 3 days of the week) so usually my days are pretty relaxed with lots of downtime. Though sometimes things do get a little exhausting such as during midterm seasons. I feel like it kind of shows in my posts during that time

I’m not sure they offer shaders for 360 Edition unfortunately lol. Childhood me spent hours scouring google trying to find how to add mods and shaders

Legitimately the only thing keeping me from switching to Build 42 in the long term is the lack of multiplayer. I’m excited. The bits I’ve played are awesome

MyNameIsAtticus, 13 dni temu

The preview builds are exciting. I played it day 1 and remember getting excited over the corpse dragging mechanic

MyNameIsAtticus, 12 dni temu

As far as i know Build 42 currently doesn’t have online multiplayer. I think it supports local splitscreen but they’re saving the Online Multiplayer for when the Singleplayer content of B42 is ironed out as far as i’m aware. Which is fair

MyNameIsAtticus, 12 dni temu

Damn, finding new zomboid mods is not good for my save’s longevity. I searched up Dead Sun Expanse and already want to play it

MyNameIsAtticus, 14 dni temu

I’ve heard a few people discuss the difficulty ramp up with the bosses. I’m kind of surprised it doesn’t have an easy mode

MyNameIsAtticus, 14 dni temu

Oh wow. It’s really pretty looking and the concept sounds interesting. It’s interesting to see the leap in game quality. I guess having that first game under their belt was good practice

MyNameIsAtticus, 15 dni temu (edited 14 dni temu)

Ultimately, it’s a sandbox so the difficulty can be scaled to however you have the most fun. Some basic tips I’d suggest though is to cover your windows, so Zombies can’t see in, and maybe look into barricades when you can. You’ll also want to be careful with your fights. Unless you’ve got difficulty low, you can easily get tired and overwhelmed by zombies.

In the later game I also try to setup safe houses around town for emergencies, and I’ll patrol every once and a while too in order to clear out Zombies and keep them from building up around town.
