Was "Old TDS" ACTUALLY Better?

- I give my thoughts on the highly controversial topic, whether or not the older versions of Tower Defense Simulator were better. The time period most often talked about is 2019-2020, as players claim it surpasses the current 2021-2023 era. But is it true...?
From Minigunner and Commander to Accelerator and Engineer, TDS has changed.

this video is a bit scuffed, but hey, maybe that's fitting
I started playing TDS with the easter 2020 event, wanted to (hopefully) reach a big milestone by looking back at the game then. Thanks for all the support ❤
First finally
I also started playing tds with the Easter 2020 event
EPIC
I missed the old tds
Nice🎉🎉🎉
I personally agree wirh Eggrypted here, the community and push of constant yet simple updates along with the mass leaks and fresh new updates every 2 weeks - 1 month just made it better to me. Even stuff like the Smaller = Bigger update which added Pursuit, a great tower and the War Machine was given to moderators, with them showcasing it it gave people something to look towards and find cool that you couldn't possibly see in game. While as now it's nothing like that, I mean sure the quality has been drastically improved but at what cost?
you are boomer xd
You are now breathing manually and will forever think about this moment @@dimaroshchyn2887

@@dimaroshchyn2887Bro is dumb, Boomer existed in 1946 - 1964 and how can he even play roblox if his an old man
I remember playing tds on the old days, I remember how memorable and fun it was
Started playing when there was SpongeBob music and the gladiator event
NO WAY LORDBIGGEST? how are you bro its been a while
@@4r4TehEpik been ok, just living normally in life lol.
You can play old tds which is vintage/retro tds
yo hello, i also remember being a tds player in the old days. I played at the area 51 event but never got commando. ALSO for some reason on that same account i got gladiator for free. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. but i did loose that account, and i wish i could have it back. nostalgia😌
I remember playing the SFOTH event, I was so dumb I didn't know how to play much. It was still hella fun.
TDS now is more of a brand than a game given what they've been doing. I wouldn't be surprised if TDS one day gets a crappy official animated series or something. I mean, props on the dev team for being able to somehow take a school project with stolen ideas into a money-making machine but damn
I don't like to bash on the game, but boy this is painfully accurate.
an animated series would be kinda epik….
@@Kneecaptain i said "crappy" animated series for a reason, though I would be more worried about the TDS team's ability to write a good story over their animating skills since they seem to have the latter under control
@@milx7210 cant wait for halloween 2023 to require every hardcore, event, and gold tower in the strats

something about old tds was charming
Yea
The consistent updates?
Yeah, with it feeling serious, with a theme, and good mixups of tower, but it was also quirky, with the upgrades, the simplicity of old Roblox, and not at all serious, with u being able to do so much more combos than now, and everything being viable for anywhere like ranger, being viable for just about anywhere besides some places without cliffs.
@@noahthenerd6992not even that, it just felt so rewarding to play
Yea it was
I joined around July of 2019. I've been in the TDS community for a quite a while.
While I don't hate the monetization, I do agree that the crates are a bit too pricy & grindy.
My only real problem is the lack of unique skins. Wraith Minigunner, Partisan Outlaw, Redemption/Golden & Kasodus Cowboy, where all skins that felt like care was put into them instead of just being another number in the pile of skins.
We have been seeing more unique skins be added to the game, which is nice. But I still want to see the old ones be remade into something more akin to their original designs.
yeah i really agree with the skins, the game just lost so much of its old "school project" charm and is aimed more towards money making now. its not a bad game necessarily, just lost a lot of the goofiness and less care that made it a lot more interesting and fun to play.
Winning Fallen Mode in old TDS was like winning 5 events in a row back then, legendary.
Agreed
@@ArsenalIsGreat21Agreed
bro i remember golden mode and i think frozen mode too, those were the days
even older tds didn't even have fallen, it was called normal hard insane
@@MarkStillPlaysFrozen mode... Holy shit you Just unlocked a part of my brain.
sure new tds has much “better” graphics and stuff, but there’s stuff about old tds that makes it better in my opinion
back then, you could use any tower you want like rocketeer and you would still win (unless you’re broke and you only had scout and stuff), you could beat events without needing to follow a strat, everything was a lot more simple and you were mainly playing for fun (with goals along the way), the game was less laggy, etc.
The gladiator event was pretty hell, no one really was that good at the game. I believe that is the event that was pretty difficult for the time
Why are games that are super realistic boring like tower defenders
gladiator event needed a strat to beat tho, u needed to spam freezers to even have a chance of winning
@@beigelbites just use pyro and the event was easy
I’d say the new is just more polished then the old tds but the updates have more large gaps in which could cause the players to get bored instead in old tds they had a lot more content to consume and there was more updates stacking more content for the players.
I haven’t played TDS in a month and looked for other games to grind because TDS is too time consuming
@@sickothem5869
Ill clarify that I'm not an OG, but this is exactly why I plan to leave TDS for TDS: Legacy (an old-spring TDS remake) along with the lack of updates and communication with the community
@@SomeGrunt_On_CZcams true the updates are really boring just releasing some skins
@@sickothem5869 fr
Inconsistent updates aren’t really the game’s problem, its more of the developers. Take tds legacy for an example. The game is dedicated to being a recreation of the old game and would likely never get actual new features. The game will likely die out after the game become fully complete with missing features they haven’t implemented yet. Which would probably be one update or two
Watching ur content for so long now, and am glad I have been a part of the journey. Congrats on 100k!
I keep on rewatching this video, the editing is just amazing and your just such a good narrator :)
it always makes me happy when your an old fan of a content creator, been subbed since 65k and this dude is making the best content imaginable. Oh and, I played 5 matches of night 1 in solar eclipce and didnt play until 2022 christmass
I really loved old tds due to its artstyle and design of the towers and zombies that made everything unique, and the amount of replayability with the platinum crates on top along with other cool skins
as i write this, you're at 99.6 THOUSAND subscribers, and you deserve each and every one of them. all of the hard work you have put in over the past year and 4 months has finally paid off! i'm proud to say that i've been watching your videos from the very start and i consider you the best TDStuber and I'm always hyped for new videos of yours! keep up the good work, propellars!
99.7k a few hours later
99.8k few hours later
100K WOOP WOOP!!!
100K!
Congrats on nearly 100K, over a year of amazing videos. You've earned it!
Congrats on 100k! You deserve it.
I think which I love more about old tds is the old balances for towers
Like cowboy making a bank vault for shooting
Outlaw having hd which can kinda help
And also the old bugs example - the unit slowing
good to see someone saying outlaw.
I've been along the ride since Koneko made a video about it (2019), and as much as I look back on what was in the past before, I also enjoy the scale of these massive updates, even if I don't get to play as much anymore, due to being pushed away by both new and old players, atm I've moved onto Tower Heroes atm for their Doors collab, and I appreciate the relatively welcoming environment it has compared to TDS. In the end of the day, I really just wish to have fun with games like these, man.
i remember konekos vid
@@greazycheezy7629same lol, he said he loved the game but never came back
@@TofkdkrSisoeks ye
Yo! I joined because of keneko’s vid too, most likely why most of my nostalgia for 2019 tds was the rocket mini and old sniper
thas how i feel, like i don’t even care if the games just for money, all that matters is if it’s fun enough to come back to
amazing videos, congratulations on 100k subscribers!
The only reason i started playing tds again is because of this channel and this specific video, Thanks and keep up the good work!
Lemme put it this way tower wise. Bloons TD has had the same lineup across almost 10 years if not 20. They have only had a few additions of towers up until heroes. After a certain point adding more towers beyond is hard, but making every tower capable of soloing harder modes is also a thing that needs done
I 100% agree with u. It’s hard to come up with new towers after you add the core towers that every roblox TD game has. But while bloons may only have add like one tower every few ish years, they sort of add 3 cause of the different paths and not to mention paragons. All this to say that in TDS, what u see is what u get. There’s no crosspathing, no insane tower concepts so once you unlock a tower and play one match with it, u have seen everything and go back to playing with commander, farm, DJ and 2 other meta towers
Yea it gets hard to come up with unique ideas that aren’t just ‘guy with gun’ at some point
Old tds just had something that kept bringing us back to playing it and it felt (unleast for me) kind of easier at the time
Yo congratulations on 100k you deserve it your my inspiration for tds
100k subs!! Congrats propellars, you deserve it!! ❤️❤️
i really loved the meta of old tds: farm, minigunner, outlaw, mortar, dj/commander/medic
my favorite era was the "spam 30 cowboys and win" timeline I love old cowboy
@@propellars old cowboy was goated, old golden cowboy after the buff was meta as well
No enforcer spam love?
2023 has probably been one of the worst years for TDS, we haven't gotten anything major gameplay wise in a long time and its been 7 months since the last event. On top of this we've received very minimal communication from the devs and it just seems like something has changed.
2021: i am joke to you
Also don't rate the day before the sunset
@@ziomal_k7189 True, also what do you mean "The day before the sunset"
agreed 2023 is terrible for tds as of now due to no leaks and the most updates weren't a gameplay update but more skins idk what they are cooking but it is most likely something big well we have to hope that its something good
@lamedummy ye they are doing something big, like event, maybe chaos mode, new towers etc. They don't give any leaks bc if they won't get it on time, the community will say 'ToWeR DeLAy SiMuLAtoR'
@@li_am1 "Don't rate the day before sunset" is term used to don't rate stuff before its over. Like you visited someone, you thought it will be good cisit but turned to be horible. Same with 2023. While tds content is dry since 7 months we still have 5 more what might suprise us
Congrats on 100k man!
Almost 100k!! Congrats
Yes, something is a bit fishy in the TDS, but hopefully it will recover on that "big update" they are promising. Hopefully. It is sad to see what became from the TDS to be honest.
What was the big update
Old tds was better, that’s that.
Idk..i like new more.
@@MrFly228same
As a player who has played since 2019, I still like the new better
Hey man, Congrats on the 100k
You deserve it
Congratulations On 100k Subs! 🎉
Tds players are more nostalgia hungry than nintendo fans
tbh new tds feels more fresh
i like it more
yo dude congrats on 100k subs! u totally deserve it
100k subs! I subscribed when you was at 2.7k
Another thing to mention is the maps, i prefer the old maps over the revamped ones like old harbor where you can stack 20 outlaws on a single roof if you know what ur doing
YES THE STACKING
Played since sfoth release, I just quit after a single crystallite entered my base UNTOUCHED, came back when the 2020 trailer dropped, not the hardcore one, the one where the overhaul update wasn’t a thing
*those days :(*
Yeah, I miss old rocket arena that map was so much fun to play.
@@amdbr i remember i was ADDICTED to that trailer
i think both old and new are fair and i like both (except that hey didn't update for a long time now) great vid !
Congratulations on 100k!! 🎆🎇
Congrats on 100k subs you deserve it
Old tds was simple but the graphics weren't too good, and the New Tds is fresh, updated and constant.
But old tds was more fun, no? With more content
@@lanebraun9537there was less content....
@@NebulaRubenyou have less amount of brain
Wdym hidden wave, pvp, poluted
Events
Tds is still a great game but it lost its charm since they changed the style of the game like every year.
Edit: that's also why i don't regularly play tds anymore lol
m too
So close to 100k subs! Good luck! Good vid.
You are so close to hit 100k! Congrats
I like old tds way more for a few reasons for example even tho the graphics were fairly simple I honestly enjoyed them more than the current way too much detailed towers and I find old tds gameplay way more fun as it just felt something different everytime I play and also other stuff as great balancing making every tower have Its own way of being good and then also the entire overhaul update kinda ruined tds for me completely and I don't really think that's something they can revert for me
it's not about how old tds is better
it's how you had fun playing those before. TDS itself rn is better but you're just growing up so there isn't really stuffs that can make you be happy as you were
@@sillycatowouwu
-wise words
@@sillycatowouwuatleast to me its a mix of both nostalgia and how great it was, like for example how much more strategy was needed for fallen mode with the dmg shields, so you needed racketeer or mortar. Or another example is when wave 20 was actually hard, now it's just easy with accelerator.
I'll save 11 minutes and 11 seconds of your life. The answer is yes
congrats on hitting 100k!!
Joined around 2019 and came back to tds after a year or more of not playing it. I think the best part about old tds was definitely its more ambitious updates and more dated graphics and gameplay. I remember in the christmas update of 2019 the only thing i grinded wasn't the archer tower or anything else but it was for the lazy couch emote which i enjoyed using all the time, and also getting my first golden tower around the christmas update as well. It is awesome to see stuff added that wasn't in the more dated days of tds like the golden affect feature, matchmaking, unique events and alot more, but the price of that unfortunately was the spirit of the old game. But its still great to see tds strive after all these years of development.
Unfortunately for me though as i lost access to my account that had these memories and had to switch to another account which made me start over
this just reminded me how i started playing about 4 years ago, damn. Sadly while i did play when pvp existed for months, I didn't try it enough, since of course at the time i never expected it to get removed
Congrats on 100k!
CONGRATS ON 100K!!! YOU DESERVE IT 🥳

I started playing TDS a few months (I think) before the 2020 Easter event and I quit after a while but when I return to the game it’s completely new and it’s kind of confusing. I also have an Easter bunny skin for scout and apparently it’s rare so that’s cool.
nice job on 100k!
Congrats on 100k

Congrats on 100k subs ☺️
Congratulations you hit 100K subscribers🎉🎉🎉
As of the time I am writing this, you have prescisly 100k subs, good job!
This video just gives me nostalgia...
I played this game since late 2019, I remember me and the boys doing lots of funny things. We found out how fallen easy was back then, cowboy was easy to get (two molten bosses only), glitching out of the boundaries and stepping on literal air and reseting makes you unable to sprint back then (funny yes I know). We would also just have a good time watching the outlaws just spamming purple lasers into the zombie's face and unlocking platinum crates (removed now)... What great times.
Congrats for 100k subs🎉🎉🎉
CONGRATS ON 100K SUBSCRIBERS PROPPELARS I HOPE YOU CAN GET TO 1 MILLION SOON!
CONGRATS ON 100K SUBS!
You got 100k subs, congrats❤😊
i miss old tds for a lot of things
mostly because the old towers were just so charming to look at and it actually feels rewarding to win
i loved outlaws back then and its laser animation but now its just, gun
Update : ranger has now a futuristic lazer gun
CONGRATS ON 100K SUBS❤
Congrats on 100K Subs Bro
Happy 100k subs!
Man I started playing tds in September 2019 and I need to say that it was better, I agree with what u said in the video.
I remembered the spring event back in the day when I started playing and seeing that map again was nostalgic
propellars be giving one of best content on tds like elite and many others , we all giv respecc
