I remember when the only way I could prepare for horde night was by chopping trees for about two days straight and putting fields of spikes around my house… then spending like 2 days after horde night chopping more trees and repairing everything… I don’t actually miss those days. I like the challenge of trying to outsmart the zombies’ AI. And the fact that I can build a functional horde base and then go out and explore and do missions and check out POI‘s and loot, and have fun.
Great video. I bought the game for console in 2016. I loved it so much. Just rebought it for the PS5 after years and years of waiting and I would buy it again another 3 times. It's such a fun playable game, especially when played with others!
Great video, awesome editing, love the concise, and to the point voiceover. Really interesting to see how this game has changed over the years. I first started playing it towards the end of alpha 16 I think because I remember the excitement when the 4 x 4 and gyrocopter and motorcycle were added to the game. I didn’t remember the bicycle being in the game in 16, was it taken out for a while? Or was I just dumb and didn’t see it? That’s also very possible. 😂 The only vehicle I remember before the big vehicle update was the minibike. It is amazing how far the game has come though. I’m really enjoying the full release 1.0, and figuring out the building system.
I'd rather call it devolution... because, imo almost everything is worst than before, except mabe for the new POI-s, and graphics. I started following the game since A9, played it since A11, i have more than 3000+ hours in it, and now, when it's "out" (not even, but you know what i mean), it is probably worst then ever... still unoptimized, still no complete story, as they promised back then, we fighting the developer team not the zombies, when we build our horde bases, or doing missions, or when we try to make our games enjoyable for ourselves. Horrible skill tree, even worst clothing/armor system, far too few weapons, stupid looting and now even worse trader mission rewards, unrewarding looting, even worst crafting, over-complicated food and dring system, unlogical and simply idiotic water "making" procedures, zombies are bullet sponges, and horde nights are just jokes (if you don't crank up the game difficulty, it is not even a horde night, just a couple of them scraping away your walls and defenses slowly, if you do crank up, it's just an unstoppable force) anyway; if you just use the deafult settings, the "intended gameplay" is just bad. Developers never listen to ideas, even if you try to appeal to them, like forming your ideas to their design, to not change the things they (probably) want to do, but honestly; the game changed soo much, they probably already forget at least 3 times whatever they wanted to do with this game in the beginning. Still one of the best out there (and this is just sad), awesome potential wasted over and over again.
There are 2 games when this was released, Rust and 7D2D, both has the same gameplay mechanics but different in terms of enemy fighting since 7D2D is a mainly PVE with an option of PVP. Rust is a PVP only server with zombies.
I first bought the game on Steam in November of 2020, so I would've started out playing Alpha 19.2. In November of this year, I'll have officially been playing this game for 4 years. I currently have a little over 1300 hours. I gotta say, though, although there have been plenty of changes since Alpha 19.2 to now, I'm glad I played it at a time when it was still recognizable as largely the same game today. That early stuff looks awful, no offense to anyone who enjoyed it.
CLICKBAIT! 👎 Title: "What's Changed Over Time | Alpha 1 vs Alpha 22" Where is Alpha 18 in your Video? Where is Alpha 19 in your Video? Where is Alpha 20 in your Video? Where is Alpha 21 in your Video? Where is Alpha 22 (1.0) in your Video? CLICKBAIT! 👎
It's funny. You can kind of say the graphics have improved but also that they haven't. I guess technically they're better, but I don't think the game is any easier on the eyes than it used to be
I feel they removed so much stuff from the game, like I love the current 7dtd but I felt like it used to be more of a challenge and that zombies destroyed far more stuff .
I still play PS4 version somewhat regularly when I just want to lay on the couch and do simple zombie slaying instead of hunching in a computer chair. It's still fun. 😊
@@NarwahlGaming - Well, I still have my old Xbox 1 version of the game and tried to play it a few weeks back. I can honestly say I did NOT enjoy it, I hated the way you have to look around with the joystick, it just irked me.🤔😖 I was trying to shoot at a Zed and I had a hard time aiming with the joystick, I kept aiming up in the air, then down at the ground until I finally got focused on the Zed, it almost got me killed when I got surrounded. That's when I decided to go back to PC to play it.😩😞😮💨😉
In 2013-14 i see this game on youtube first time but because since 2013 up to 2024 i dont have gaming pc steel cant play this but i watch so many videos about so i really like the time when it was Minecraftish and i dont really like the way it looks like now also i understand if in 2024 this game will look like in 2013 nobody will never buy it
Великая игра. Я тоже играю в нее со времен 10ой альфы. Такими масштабными изменениями не каждый проект может похвастаться. Разрабы все делают новые апдейты, дай бог здоровья, а ведь игра продается по цене чипсов. Пусть и была она в альфе 11 лет, но будет ложью сказать, что все это время мы - простые геймеры - не наслаждались каждой из этих итераций.
Game degraded after 16.4 alpha! Devs turned survival sandbox in to RPG trader rush simulator If we could to play 16.4 aplha with 1.0 graphics and item content
Bro you missed out the later updates where they butchered the identity of the game and turned it into some weird lightly fallout 4 inspired zombie RPG. 😅😢
think it will ever get out of alpha before those old fart FP's kick the bucket? I just hope they'll pass the game on if not, so at least our children (prob grandchildren) will see the full release 🥲
If you enjoyed the video please leave a like! :) thank you!
Sometimes I am like "Oh what was that cool little voxel zombie game I played back in the day" Oh... it was 7 Days To Die, it was so different.
It has gone through a lot of changes. Sometimes I miss the old alphas ‘feel’.
@@ExotiKGaming You can still play Alpha 5 and Alpha 7, just have the steam console turned on
Miss looting the zombies really don't care for bags
a17 was also when when people started to exploit the pathing, it was when "ramp-bases" became a thing
The AI pathing exploiting has become a huge trend now. Dont remember it being so big back in the old days

they should allow some zombies to not be able to do the "pathing" and just destroy everything around them, i miss those days :c

You actually were incorrect alpha 15 was the last version on console before they went back to pc
Roughly 15.5 they cherry picked some features from a16 but we never got the full update

The evolution - till A17 because apparently there where haven't been any mentionworthy changes since then...
you did not go over the remaining 5 alphas...why?
Oooh another treat...😊
i have a place in my heart for both of these games

whats wild is that the graphics still look rough as shit

@@max-rdj9741
The new "Partygirl" zombie is... quite easy on the eyes... 😏
@@PaulKrawitz94 i wish they can make more variations, with the new character models the possibilities should be endless

Crazy how console is still so far worse than
