About Minecraft's Future

[Optimus Hagrid]

I think it's comparable to Garry's Mod. Unlimited creativity, unlimited gameplay, you can do whatever you want.

That would apply to the creative version, survival is more about, y'know, surviving. And hopefully it's going to get more survival-centric as the updates go by as at times you get the feeling you paid for Creative 2.0.

I tried Minecraft. It's horrible. First off, gathering wood with your bare hands? And the tree not falling over?

Yeah, I quit immediately. The programmer obviously has lack of skills in programming.

Spoiler: Wait till you hear this...

You can destroy stone with pickaxes made of WOOD.

The sad thing is, this is blatant sarcasm, yet so many people were so easily maddened by it.

have you ever tried bringing physics into a 8-bit game?
and btw, do you really think they developed this 8-bit sandbox game because they weren't able to do any better? have you ever heard of nostalgia?

I played it during the 'free to play weekend' it had once. I was skeptical at first, but then after I learned how to make stuff and after making my first giant cave I was hooked. I'll purchase it, but it's not a good idea to have that game unless you want to fail all your classes.

Whats the term? "Haters gunna Hate"?

To put it simply, i dont care what they say about it. I have a good time playing it.
Good fun.

...I still find yahtzee funny
...I like mw2 when it's on certain occasions
...and I don't want to try minecraft because I'm scared I'll either hate it or be absorbed by it

The difference between MW2 and Minecraft is that MW2 is awful and a cash milker, while Minecraft is a very successful indie title, and a quality one at that. I think it's comparable to Garry's Mod. Unlimited creativity, unlimited gameplay, you can do whatever you want.

Haven't heard about people hating on GMod yet...

I hate Gmod.

Just putting it out there.

I love Minecraft though.

Ummm... okay, that's one person, anyone else? No? Good.
It helps my point.

Yeah, it's ok. I know it's weird.

I would hazard a guess than anyone else who's tried it, probably liked it. I just never got into it.

Dunno why.

Minecraft has so much potential because it has infinitely more options than MW2's gameplay of "I'm going to shoot this guy in the face with one of several different weapons."

Me, I get weird satisfaction out of Minecraft by channeling water to different places. Building canals and whatnot. Weird, but I enjoy it.

No, dude. Just no. Bravo on completely missing the point of the game, and the fact that it's still in alpha.

OT: I think Minecraft will stay popular for a very long time.
