Old DBD has not aged very well.... 

17 more reasons NOT to miss old DBD: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iys11-KFvwQ.html

I'll never forget when Trapper could place traps right below the hooks lmao

"A knife is Myers' weapon of choice. It's swift, deadly, and it doesn't run out of bullets." ...What did I just hear? 🤣

At least we knew Myers would never run out of bullets

It’s such a shame how myers has been forgotten and abandoned. He did so much for the game and horror as a genre, he deserves better.

8:40 I knew old DS was unbalanced but damn... They went full sicko mode with this skill check, like seriously, how are we supposed to hit area that small?

Object of Obsession was _the_ case of "just looking at data." Because the perk was getting tunneled out of games, data showed survivors using it had an extremely low survival rate, so they didn't think it was needing changed, not taking into account it was getting tunneled out because of how problematic it was

I always enjoy seeing newer players reacting to old DbD. The innocent "no way the game was ever like that" energy is priceless.

Hey! Using DS on the first down was very balanced and uh y’know good for the game! Yeah!

One thing I will never forget is old Myers house combined with old Balanced Landing, when the side effect of the perk meant that there was never any stagger when the survivor fell from a height, exhausted or not. It turned Myers house into a legitimate infinite unless the killer brought Bamboozle. And then there was that fucking window next to basement. That fucking god window that eventually, in the final year or so of old Haddonfield, BHVR just switched off completely because of how broken it was.

Forgot to mention the killer that caused "Play With Your Food" cooldown nerf: Wraith. Back when it didn't have a cooldown, Wraith could run PWYF, find the obsession in the beginning of the game, uncloak to start chase with obsession, cloak to end chase immediately to gain a stack, uncloak immediately to start chase again and rinse and repeat. He could gain 3 stacks of PWYF within a few seconds since it didn't have a cooldown

I never forget when wraith couldn't brake pallets while cloaked

If they didn't score Myers I bet they'd also struggle getting Bubba later and then snowball would never start rolling...

I remember OLD dbd, when Tinkerer boosted add-on strength and escaping killer's grasp on the upper floor of the asylum you'd end up flying !

oh my god i forgot about the blinding lights on top of that damn cop car

I miss the old spotlight trailers where Mathieu and Ash used to narrate them

2:00 They should have made Myers moonwalk into the frame 🤣

olg legion iri button used to give entire map filled with terror radius when legion was in frenzy. it was crazy good

It was Trapper Wraith Hillbilly and Nurse back then, Myers was added after the Nurse. It was also not long after his release Legacy prestiges were distributed. Myers being a licensed killer didn't get Legacy Prestige even though he existed back then. Huntress was added later which is why only killers with legacy prestiges were those 4 (Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Nurse)

Therapist: Myers with a beard isn't real, he can't hurt you Myers with a beard:

- I'll never forget 7 blink nurse - True infinites - Every hook could be sabotaged with no respawn - Trapper bear traps could be sabotaged permanently - Iron grasp allowed you to carry survivors to the basement from pretty much anywhere - Decisive strike immediate use - Mori allowed no mistake from survivors - Every exhaustion perk gad thier own cd - Unhooking only allowed from front so trapper fould place hooks directly under hook - Wraith starts uncloaked - Hooks used to spawn corresponding to the killer played not the map - NOED only activating insta down on lvl 3 and when one gate was opened (not powered) and so many others Edit: How could I forget the machine gun build

To this day I can't forget when Otz reacted to the trailer where Trapper got the ability to reset traps. Good times.

Old DBD might have been hell, even compared to now, but can we appreciate MCote's narration on this one? I want that man to read me bed time stories

Nostalgia is really weird when you think about what you're missing. I first played after Plague came out on my brother's Xbox and then got it myself in March 2021. I still feel nostalgic for the game in 2021. So much has changed that the game feels completely different. The time when kicking gens were a waste of time and if you didn't run Ruin Undying you're throwing the game. Spirit was at the peak of her power, Blight was on his rise and nurse had her good old omegablinks. Legion were a mess, I think they nerfed Wraith at some point. I faced my first Bubba on Hawkins and he ended up dcing after going into a tantrum. I miss it so much, esp og Spirit.

The reason Starbreeze made it so difficult is they are super restrictive about how they distribute, and during the time DBD started to take off they Were going through so much financial trouble (overkill’s the walking dead had to be ported over to a completely new engine)however starbreeze also is likely the ones who helped get Myers into the game as they were known for doing cross-overs so without starbreeze Myers likely would have never been added

Hey otz. This is friends. And today we watched you show us old dbd. Great vid much love

OLD DBD LOOKED SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THO

I still remember times when Obsession status was given only if "obsession" perk was present in trial. Killers would tunnel without fear if there was no obsession in match. Survivor juggling, 99 hooks, hooks being perma destroyed, then it took 3 minutes to respawn. PALLET VACUUMS

it's very funny to me that when listing Michael's perks they started with Save the Best for Last also last survivor first, lol

This video brought up some good memories. This was the first chapter I've ever bought for the game and what even got me into the game. I remember watching the trailer and getting both the game and DLC right after. Don't play Laurie or Myers as much but they were both my first P3s and mains for a really long time back then. Years later and still one of my favorite chapters for the good memories it brought and how significant it was to the game I still play and love. Hope you do more videos like this one with the older chapters that followed.

hey otz cant wait to chow down on this video, thank you as always

I remember moris happened right away, without hooking someone just a down and bye bye... also, that weird time when flashlight rescues didn't have a specific time frame so you could just flashlight the killer at the very beginning of the animation and save the survivor

Remember when we didnt have bloodlust and windows couldnt be entity blocked? Where a survivor could just run you forever in a infinite? Good times

As someone who has only started playing DBD recently it blows my mind how truly broken some perks/strategies were. As problematic as some of the things I’ve experienced were(such as Made For This) they don’t hold a candle to the shit back then.

People see my Legacy skin and think “wow, must be nice” I say “do you know the pain I had to endure to keep this?” 😂

Not the guy saying “I miss old dbd” while Otz has literally been explaining for six solid minutes how bad old dbd was.

It's crazy how long old haddonfield stayed in the game for. It feels almost unreal to think it was only changed around the legions' rework. The huge player spike consisting of resident evil fans had to endure haddonfield as nemesis...

Hello otz. Love your vids

When I first got into DbD in 2020, I watched those old trailers and nearly did a spit take at seeing the Statbreeze logo. At the time their biggest claim to fame was Payday 2 and their CEO getting arrested for insider trading. Now that Payday 3 is out, Starbreeze has aged even worse.

I remember being new to the game and old object becoming my crutch, even if I’m not in a group I still had to use it. To this day I still use it for the brief 6 seconds of wallhacks. Also since this video is a reaction to a spotlight trailer can we talk about the narrator for the trailers today? He does such a great job and I hope they go back to the older character trailers and let him voice over them.

I started playing DBD in late 2017, tho I had been watching videos of it for moths, that's why I bought it, and stopped playing in early 2019, I had other, better games, to play I got burnned out of DBD. It wasn't until mid 2020 that I got back into it, I had a lot of free time for obvious reasons, and I gotta say, I remember my first though was "For my first game, I'm gonna pick Doctor, I'm rusty and back then it ws an easy to find survivors with killer." Then when I jumped into the match my second thought was "WTF is this?! What they did to my guy !". After that game I remember too I wanted to play Myers, my makn before I left, and I still had a build from back then, I remember going through my perks, and seeing Ruin, I thinking "Whaaaat ¡ Why !? What's this ?!". It truly was an experience. And indeed, DBold D aged like milk, it feels like a different game, for the better and for the worse.

I love your videos Otz!

Please go through all of the old dbd trailers, I really liked this video.

The clip of him on his Nemesis streak took me back. In 2021 I played dbd and watched Otz religiously.

Can I also say the quality of chapter spotlights vastly improved too? Their layout and explanations became better and more consistent, giving it a better flow. And I understand they were a smaller company and not native English speakers, but the writing and (sorry Matthew Cole) narration have come a long way. The atmosphere between this one and say, Chains of Hate trailer are so different. I love seeing these and even though they've gotten shorter over the years, it's still great to see that area getting improved. Especially with camera work too ngl.

Knowing that I have played this game for over 7 years and how much as changed makes me feel super old. I came before Freddy came out. I started really playing the game in August 2017. A friend gifted me the game but I couldn’t really play it cause when we swf’d we never got a single killer match. After I just duo queued months later and I regretted not playing the game back when the Nurse came out. Cause now knowing I missed out on a big part of the game. Michael Myer’s. It’s insane how much there is in the game now. How much content there is and we still are gonna get more. Getting the chance to play on the old versions once in a while is a good walk down memory lane. Where there were a lot of broken things but no one really abused them till it was discovered and encouraged. Boy have the times changed.

I had no idea the original power for Michael tagged people as Obsessions! That makes a lot of sense considering his perks, that's wild. I always thought they were made that way to be lore accurate or something, but I guess the end result was to make perks beneficial for his own kit.

Checking back on my oldest Steam achievements, I started playing late 2017 which is crazy to think about being witness to most of the old mechanics & how this game has evolved. I remember when most of Ayrun's content was using the old 'vault speed build' & was saddened when that came to an end, although it was a necessary change 😅 I have been stressed a lot with this game over the years, but the enjoyment from the many fun moments outweighs those issues, and it'll be tough for another game to compete with this as evident with many of the forgotten projects such as Propnight, VHS & Home Sweet Home.

I swear, OTZ uploads just when I'm about to eat. Literally hit the timing. Love you Otz

Is old nostalgia classified as PTSD? xD It is good to see though that however broken the game may feel, it definitely better than it was!

Cool vid, I am less than a year playing so it is super cool seeing old versions of the game!

Myers was the reason I got into DBD in the first place and still playing all these years later. I just wish he would get a rework already, my boy deserves it

Started playing in 2017, and left it 4 years ago, and just recently came back. So many things have changed, I felt quite overwhelmed.

Damn, I would love to see a series of this actually. Just revisit all the old DLCs and talk about them. That video here was fire!

I've been playing since August 2017, I can't believe it's been 7 freaking years. You should do a video on everything that used to be meta gameplay like dribbling, ruin, DS, I need more of those memories

You made me remember playing Killer and when you could grab the survivor even while downed on the hatch entering animation. Provoking during some time the so infamous. Hatch Standoffs.

I did NOT remember DS skill check being THAT large 🤣

GREAT EDIT NICE VIDEO! THUMBS UP !!!

As someone that has played dbd since like late 2017ish. I still have horrific nightmares about OG Haddonfield and wake up screaming sometimes.

I played dbd since beta and i'm pretty sure Myers never had this "making obsessions" power in the actual game. This rendition of his power was only shown in that video.

Could you make more vids on old trailers pls otz? I want to hear your thoughts on the all the changes

Otz, queria muito um react seu de quando o Matie jogou contra survivors tóxicos ao vivo em um evento do dbd em uma versão antiga do jogo. Lembro que depois desse episódio ele mudou muitas mecânicas básicas do jogo como velocidade para por armadilhas ou a cegueira das lanternas.

Such a good video. I hope you will make one about old Freddy

I remember that was the first DLC I got, because it was on a promo as I got the game, and I remember running the old Object of Obsesssion, but I was bad in chase, so it was actually a big deal for me to do so, but there was a match where I had both Object and Sole Survivor at my disposal, and then I actually managed to be the last one alive. I swear I went through the whole map for like 5 minutes or more without ever being found, the map was gigantic, I believe it was probably Disturbed Ward, and as soon the killer got the third survivor out, he literally never saw me ever again, as I had like 80m permanent wallhacks and the Sole Survivor (which is the "combo" that they probably thought of when making Laurie) blocked the killer from being able to see me back, so I could just stare at him constantly without any consequences, but it was pretty much one of the only times I ever got that much value off of this little combo

You forgot one thing. DS was on the first down. Your first pick up as killer was always a DS proc and it was easier to hit.

I’ve been very curious how the editing has removed the music and kept the dialogue for the trailer? I keep seeing many DBD videos where the in game chase music is removed and other music is added, but we can still hear the games sound effects and the streamer. Any ideas how editors or people do this magic? Edit: there’s some old things I miss about old DBD Like the old injured running animations for survivors, I still dislike the new injured animations

I starting playing DbD shortly after it released. I remember sprint burst had a 20 second cooldown and it would cooldown while you were sprinting. I didn't get to use it in that state though because they nerfed it within the first month of the game and I was leveling up Claudette as my first survivor. I also didn't get the saboteur teachable before they nerfed it from permanently destroying hooks. Also, I want to note that Myers' power did work the way it currently does when he was released. The only difference was tier 1 had a 6 meter terror radius since the undetectable status didn't exist. I'm pretty sure I remember him being even slower in tier 1 as well. It was something like 102.5% instead of 5% speed. Idk why Cote described it the way he did in the trailer. I'm assuming they either changed his power between recording the trailer and release, or they were trying to hype up the new obsession mechanic with his perks. There were also no PTB's back then, so players didn't get to try out the new content before is was released. Also, on release, play with your food was a stupid good perk. It worked pretty much the same, but the speed bonus was 7% per token instead of 5%. It might not sound like much, but there weren't many good perks back then. Before hag, gen slowdown perks didn't really exist. You couldn't even kick generators when the game first released. I don't remember if that mechanic was added before Myers was put in the game or not. Bloodlust was also not in the game at release, and I think it wasn't implemented before Myers was added as well.

You’re close to a million well deserved in my opinion thanks for helping me understand this game

Fun fact: There used to be a promo from DBD when it came out that gave you free masks in Payday 2 since both games were released by Starbreeze

This was awesome to see

I still remember when you could sabo trappers traps 💀

Otz can you do a video on all the perks you think need buffed?

Are you going to make a 7.6.0 killer tier list? There’s been quite a few changes

PLEASE more videos like this!!!!

So much work must constantly go into making dbd fresh and exciting. People like to complain about some changes, but i love this game. It has a freedom of choice element thats hard to replicate in other games

8:27 this is absolute cinema

Can we get more videos like these mr streamer pretty please?

Super cool video! I like to consider myself a dbd OG because I got into the game before Huntress was released, but it must have been right after these original Michael perks were in the mix. That, or maybe I was just super ass and didn't play killer back then, who knows, still this is all news to me. 😂

Otz you should do more “ol’ DbD” reactions. I’m sure you have tons of gameplay footage from back then

As a somewhat new (2021) DbD player this is so fun to watch. You can tell when the game evolved from a small party horror game to a competitive one

Going on DBD memory lane is one of my favourite things.

I loved hearing you reminiscing on old DBD. Shoutout to old Ruin

I didn't play that far back (iirc I started in the period between Spirit and Legion, with my first bought DLC being Saw), but even to me a lot of this brings back frustrating memories. And I started after the absolute worst of it had been fixed. Edit: Survs being able to Sabotage traps anyone? That was fun.

Honestly, I was thinking (for quite a while at this point). I bet devs have old builds of DBD, right? What if they would surprise PTB players with like a week earlier release, but that week of PTB would've been an old build? Maybe even they could do that for 10th anniversary and its PTB? That would show people how far they've come in those 10 years, how much has changed. Maybe they could give some feedback on what og features feel interesting? And maybe people would appreciate stuff we have right now more (because stuff like no hook moris, perma sabotage, no anti tunnel would definietly make people furious)? You know, I would love to experience the old DBD, because I was never able to (didn't even knew it existed and then for years I thought it's some kind of terryfing, gory kind of horror I don't enjoy). And I doubt I'm the only one like that. Plus I bet many veteran players would like to reexperience that as well, for nostalgia reasons.

Main thing i remember from old DBD and specifically Haddonfield was survivors getting on top of the hedges by using dead hard since it gave such a movement boost

Matthew being a dork with the voice over is so wonderful

Never forget shack with 2 windows, a god pallet, no entity blocker, survivors always fast vault, and killer took twice as long to vault.

I can’t wait for not Otz to hit 1 mil subs and make a Not Not Otz channel!

Thank you for the history lesson Mr Otz ❤

I played since beta and this is lost to my memory, I actually don't at all remember him having a different power. I remember this trailer very well though and the introduction of the obsession mechanic and all the miseries that came with Dying Light and Ruin.

Now we got the hens guy, the survivor main, the JRM and your friend, what a team.

I love how when you had muted the copyright music you could hear bits of the song when the narrator was talking

You should make recap videos like this more, man

The sole survivor and object combo was so op. I remember getting the left for dead achievement this way and ended up using it in a build.

It's crazy man, 2019 feels like so long ago, but yet it feels like yesterday 😢

I love when Otz does these retrospectives. People think the game is so busted now, but look how far we've come.

PWF end chase condition is based on terror radius size too. The shape, Sadako any killer with a reduced terror radius can get stacks more conveniently in chase by just breaking line of sight a bit.

7:54 the guy on chat that said gollum animations when laurie came up, you made me wheeze of laughter thank you

Popped back in after a year to see how the community has been. I commend you for playing this game every day for so long 😂

I remember early on in the games life I would run spine chill/premonition together for really good map awareness. Before all the aura perks were in the game you could prepare for a killers arrival instead of being jumped.
