I've loved 7 Days to Die, since the first time I played it on Xbox One. The concept, gameplay and immersion was incredible.
Day after day I would come home from work, relax and play for hours on end with my friend.
We would build gigantic safe zones, whether on the wastelands or on the outskirts of the cities, and spend days powering through to get to the Blood Moons.
Fields of yucca and corn surrounded by walls of trees so dense it blocked all light emitted from within our safe zones.
One terrible day, after spending 19 hours on our world, we lost everything because of the well known glitch : The MD5. It destroyed 90%+ of our base. Immediately killing our continuation of playing on the world. We lost complete interest over the span of a few weeks. Why put in the effort if MD5 was gonna burn it all down? The glitch became so common... so unfortunate.
Fast forward several years to this week.
My friends were playing 7 Days to Die on Console. They loved it despite the MD5 experience of the past, telling me that it's 100 steps up from the old release. The graphics, gore and detail were perfect for it, only thing being 'meh' was the ground looking the same.
I jump on Xbox App on my PC and search for it.
Cross Platform. Check.
That is all I needed to see.
I bought it.
While waiting for my friends to get off work, I gave it a test run. I loved it. It looked so much better. The zombies didn't look like they were spazzing out when walking. There is more blood, and vicious violence towards Z's. The blocks look much better. Leveling up is easy, but stronger level weapons need books to build... interesting but not off-putting. Towns don't look lazily put together like they were copy and pasted, which is very nice. The terrain is well improved, more realistic in its original built geometry.
Well Done FunPimps. You did an amazing job!
Well I'm saddened. I bought this game solely for the purpose of playing with my friends. The guys I have been playing online with for over a decade. We found out after 45 minutes of settings and options altering, restarting modems, consoles and my PC that it is indeed NOT cross platform. I feel this is poor advertising on Microsoft's part, but it needs to be changed.
Please, FunPimps, contact Microsoft and get them to fix this Cross Platform tag, and remove it, until the game is actually cross-platform.
I want to request a refund from Microsoft and buy another game. Until the game is cross platform, I want a game I can actually play either with my friends or enjoy playing alone. My biggest concern is the game will increase its price with the next update, as it did moving into Update 1.0.
I've no idea how to make this decision, the only information I need to make the long term decision is:
Will this game go up in price on its next update?
