My friend bought me Project Zomboid and I bless'ed hate it. I already had read that it is a survival game where non-survival is guaranteed. I had faffed my friend off saying I wasn't really interested in the title and he... just bought it for me?
I think he's looking for a co-pilot, but so far I hate the game. The Tutorial in particular was BRUTALLY meanspirited. The first zombie you encounter is your mother, which you are informed of AFTER you bash her head in with a frying pan. You then use a knife recovered from her corpse to eliminate a survivor, only to be informed that this was your father. Then you loot your father and go to his shed for supplies. The tutorial instructs you to break a window, which naffs up your hand, and you must rush through bandaging it.
After you leave the shed, you find two zombies eating... your sister. So, family elimination. Great, sounds like a fun time for someone other than me.
You are then instructed by the tutorial to consume an antidote. I knew they were going to do a meanspirited hook by this point, but I hit the button. You then scream, which draws every zombie in the area and you die.
Thus, confirming exactly WHY I did not want to play this game. Additionally, it had the same weird swirly mouse controls I didn't like about Yakuza 0. It's not a mouse precision issue, this thing is insanely responsive, and I love it. Blows my old naga out of the water.
I honestly wonder what this weird swoopy feeling is. Maybe I should load up an old favorite and see if I experience it there.
