I've heard tons about it, so I finally decided to buy it.
Can someone explain it a bit to me? I don't want anything spoiled too much for me so, please?
-
So waste of money or... ?
-
I like it.
What do you need explained? How to start up? How to play it? For general information, you should see the Minepedia. (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page) Though, that does include all sorts of information about the game you probably don't want to know. There's also a Beginner's guide to Survival (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Beginner%27s_guide) there.
-
Alright, I guess I'll just fool around with it until I figure it all out. Thanks for the help though.
-
I use it to relax.
Seriously, it's very calming to just sit there and mine for iron/rock for an hour or two.
ed: BTW, the game is really just doing whatever you want.
If you want to, you can just sit there and kill skeletons all day (which I personally don't recommend...the combat isn't that good).
Lucas just doesn't get sandbox games (http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/mspa_face-1.png)
-
It's renowned for it's brilliant storyline and level design. No seriously though, I basically screwed up some
exams at Uni because I played this game so much. SO ADDICTIVE!
-
Minecraft is a diamond in the rough. On the plus side, it's pure sandbox and building a mighty castle and shooting at skeletons from its walls is wonderful. On the downside, it's in desperate need of some code optimisation and Notch Time (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Notch_Time) is even less reliable than Valve Time.
Lucas just doesn't get games
God. Seriously, Lucas? Complaining about the graphics?
-
Is it just me or does Minecraft seem to use some of RPG Maker's Chipsets?
-
Lucas is being self righteous...the graphics are not why you buy this game.
But then again, this game is big time hyped, and not all that great.
Also: my impression of this topic
Xpein: HEY, WHO WANTS TO TALK WITH ME ABOUT THIS INSANELY POPULAR GAME AS IF ITS SOME OBSCURE INDY GEM. This is validate my worth as a gamer
Lucas:Complain complain. Okay.
Everyone else: Okay. Complain Complain
Me: Complain complain Make fun of OP, do clever impressions.
Every other post for another page: Complain
Archem: Topic change
All: Complain, but go with it anyways
-
Archem: Topic change
****, he's on to me...
-
You are confusing "Old School" and minimalist.
-
Yes. Old school would be like a modern Nintendo including a throwback level, where you play as an 8-bit version of your character or where you play in a classically-inspired level.
Example:

Minimalist is more along the lines of the KISS ideology ("Keep it Simple, Stupid", or a variation of that), but applied to the visuals.
Example:

In this case, making all things squared and all textures visible at the per-pixel level accomplishes the charming minimalist style.
-
Show me your random noise filtering. I want to see it.
-
Lucas: Complain about stupid things
Draggy: Actually valid complaint about game
Lucas: Say valid complaint isn't so bad compared to X
What the hell are you doing even
Also your noise filter complaint is pretty bogus
-
Lucas, Your "random noise filters" do not exist.
There are no random noise filter, unless you can provide some vidence
-
See his avatar? That's what he thinks minecraft looks like.
-
Anyway, even if there are random noise filters (ther aren't), you can just download a texture pack and chuck it into the texture pack folder and hey presto, no more (nonexistant) noise filters. Or make one yourself, even, it's basically the same as making a tileset for RPG maker or something. Hell, if I can do it, anyone can.
Also yeah minecraft is pretty fun if you have a bit of imagination and enjoy this sort of thing. Mods make it even better
-
I get it now....
the low res textures.... you think they are random noise filters. Thats cute.
-
no, thats not what you said, but whatevs.
-
The only one that really looks anything like that is the dirt.
-
Lucas, you so crazy.
-
What I do with my afterlife is none of your concern.
-
Technically, nothing I can do is illegal!
-
This is easily the worst minecraft thread of all time.
-
Oh boy, time to add a mark to the tally chart of perfectly reasonable discussions which Archem then turned into discussions about himself!
-
Lucas is being self righteous...the graphics are not why you buy this game.

TEH PROPHECY IS TRUE!
-
It happens! Why am I so interesting?!
-
It's confusing, weird and not as good as everyone tells you. That's the truth. :P
I'm sad its beating Limbo on gamefaq's best indie game thing.
I looked up limbo.
(http://tiffchow.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54f7ac65c88330120a758ec75970b-800wi)
Looks generic.
Seriously. I'm looking at the gameplay. Every other indie game is like this.
-
If you compare what you can get out of Limbo to what you can get out of Minecraft, how is there even a contest?
Also, wasn't it Lucas who turned the topic onto Archem?
-
Limbo has it's pure atmosphere going for it.
That's...about it.
It's still a big plus, but...
Minecraft has it's unique look, atmosphere (if you think about it), gameplay, minimalistic design, and HUGE replay value going for it.
Much more pros than Limbo has.
-
But I actually enjoyed playing Limbo...
-
This is easily the worst minecraft thread of all time.
Oddly enough, this post reminded of Kanye West.
-
But I actually enjoyed playing Limbo...
Same here.
I just enjoyed playing Minecraft for longer.
-
Also, wasn't it Lucas who turned the topic onto Archem?
Yeah well, we don't expect anything better from Lucas.
-
I believe the rule is that all threads are prone to derailment by Archem, having the subject changed to Archem, or being ultimately ruined by Archem.
-
So why am I not our official mascot yet?
-
Unlike Nazis, at least I'm lovable.
-
Limbo looks like every indie game ever, and seems like it's probably pretentious as all hell. Not to say it's bad, however, I can't really say that without playing it.
Minecraft is fun, but an aqquired taste.
Archem is pretty cool.
I've answered everything now, right?
-
B+
Also, Minecraft recently had an update with a whole bunch of new ****. Can't wait to dye some sheep!
-
Can't wait to wait for all my addons to be updated
****
-
Yeah, that's the problem with mods. Haven't dared touch Minecraft since the patch came out; fear that it'll unmod everything and send it to hell 'n ****.
-
I really only use MM mods.
I'm kind of a purist when it comes to game mods.
-
mods encourage lazy game developers to keep on being lazy.
-
Can't wait to dye some sheep!
Dude, you could have been dying them all this time! Just use your sword!
-
...Elder Scrolls? Didn't you have hundreds of mods on every game?
No, you did.
At the most, I had about 20.
Plus, the biggest thing that I had on was Elsewyr, which was practically a user made expansion pack.
That and Craftybits, which was just awesome.
-
Same here.
As well as various little things, like a job system.
As in actual work, not FF jobs.
-
mods encourage lazy game developers to keep on being lazy.
Notch had already proven he's a terrible coder and is lazy as hell before mods even existed for Minecraft. I'm not too bothered.
-
At least the update included a mod that makes the game render faster
-
Pretty much everything he added this update was adapted from mods. Except squids I guess. Squids suck though, they spawn ****ing EVERYWHERE there's water
-
Pretty much everything he added this update was adapted from mods.
Reminds me of New Vegas.
Oh snap!
-

Well hey, something that should be in the game anyway!
I think my problem is that I love the concept of Minecraft, but I'm disappointed that it had to be executed by a fat Swede with punctuality issues.
-
Either my account got hacked or my friend who I let use my account changed the password last night in a drunken stupour. Goddamn it.
-
Never let anyone near your account, ever. Learn that ****.
