Started with the original console edition. Crafted my first stone ax May 15th 2017 at 11:42am EST
Around December 2019. The funny thing is that I stopped the bleeding before I made my first stone axe.
I actually bought the game by accident. I was sitting with a friend, drinking beer, and I complained to him that I had nothing to play. He suggested playing the game he'd been playing for a week, so I bought it.

I started playing A15 at the end of December 2016. I had seen a few YouTube videos of a group of players. What attracted me most was the ability to reshape the terrain and build with individual blocks rather than entire segments, as in other games. I was a little lost at first because I had never played anything with shooter elements before. But little by little, I got the hang of it.

A7, I liked it because it made me cower in a house dreading night, because I had to, there was no just surviving the night visitors.
that's when I knew I would like it. Loved the grid especially after it starting having shaded guides, before that I couldn't make
anything. That. the sunset, Tim Burton houses, and the rabbit on a stick.

Yeah, my first games were like that too. The music and atmosphere was really creepy. Now I'm used to it and it all seems normal.

The crawling and screeching of the spider zombie creeped me out. I enjoyed them trying to get up to the base to get you

The modders have made such an awesome community. Being able to try out a new mod with different gameplay styles is fun. That's awesome your kids/grandkids play! I know a lot of older players that are into 7 days. I love hearing stories like this

About 10 minutes ago after gettin a quick bite to eat and an ice cold Corona in my belly. 
Oh, you mean that first time. When it was first offered on Xbox under TellTale Games which I think was a version of A14 or A15, not sure, someone correct me if you know.
I was logging big-time hours in Minecraft when I noticed a friend playing this. Checked it out and never went back to Minecraft! Was faithfully playing the older version right up to the day when v1.0. was finally released for consoles.

Other than graphics how does it compare?
I ask because you have experienced a great gap between versions and are not sullied by the PC versions.

The graphics on The Series X are outstanding! The only drawback, in my opinion, is the horrible performance leading to stuttering, frame rate drops, and lag.
Granted that is NOT an exclusive 7 Days to Die issue. The Xbox hardware is woefully ill equipped to handle what this game is throwing at it. That's a Phil Spencer issue.
Even worse on the Series S. What some will not even acknowledge is that outside of playing the game itself, the console often experiences stuttering, frame rate drops just trying to load the Xbox Dashboard! Pretty sad. I'm just glad to be able to play what we have.

A buddy of mine that played World of Tanks with me, got me to playing this game. I bought it on steam back on 03/20/2019. Don't know what version that was back then. And then sometime later bought the legacy version on my PS4 (still have too, now on my PS5)I am curious when did you first start playing 7 Days to Die? Was it way back during one of the early alphas, or did you just discover it recently?
For me, it's always fun to hear how people found the game, whether it was through friends, YouTube, Twitch, or just randomly on Steam. I love seeing the different stories and how the game has evolved for each of us over time.
What Alpha did you start playing 7 Days to Die? I started playing back in A9. Who remembers the crafting grid?

Huh, people posting actual dates got me curious where I would find that. Apparently I bought the game November 24, 2017 at 6:56 AM.
And I paid $9.49 when I've been thinking I got it for $7.
What a ripoff!

The earlier versions were more about survival and were much more fun and had ALOT more content...different meat types and individual weapon parts ......once the traders and Drones came in and console simplicity was added to the game....it really solidified the end of the survival /sandbox aspects of the game and the diversification of play..now its play the path we want you to play, how we want you to play

I purchased this game around A15 or A16, not sure when (I do know it was not earlier than this or later than this).
Before A15/16, I was playing a lot of Fort Zombie and was looking for a similar type of game. When I saw this on Steam, I instantly added it to my watch list as it was obviously in Early Alpha and wasn't ready to commit to an EA game yet. Glad I finally did it as I got over 4k hours in it and still enjoying it to this day.
