Current Events > Minecraft vs. Terraria

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am intrigued.

---

I have only played Terraria (and I love it), so I can't judge between them. From footage of Minecraft that I have seen however I may likely enjoy it.

---

Unmodded? Terraria.

The only advantage Minecraft has over Terraria is that it's 3D.

---

minecraft pretty much has to be modded to even compete with base terraria

Minecraft just because 3D > 2D

Terraria for sure. No discredit to Minecraft, I sank hundreds of hours into both games.

---

who even plays unmodded minecraft for real

This. It's a huge advantage, but I find it ugly to look at, and thus have less desire to actually build anything.

Terraria was more my kind of thing.

---

I got overwhelmed playing Terraria and never went back. I guess I should probably give it another shot sometime
---

Minecraft is more survivor

Terraria is more action adventure

Luv them both though

Play it with a guide. A lot of what you have to do is kinda esoteric.

Terraria, but I'm played out on that. Kind of played out in minecraft too, but it never quite hooked me like Terraria did.

This. I will probably lean towards Terraria just for the crazy boss battles.

Terraria.

Minecraft (unmodded) is only fun until you figure out how simple everything is. I do kind of wish I had everything I had ever built together on one server, but thats about it.

I had a lot more fun with the continuously progressing goals and world of terraria.

That being said, I have sunk waaay more hours into minecraft over the years.

Minecraft if you like building terrira if you like action platformers

Terraria, both vanilla and modded. Though Minecraft has much better technical stuff.

---

I could never get into Terraria. Minecraft has brought me hours and hours of fun with others. Recently me and my niece been playing it again

Personally I prefer Minecraft. And I play Vanilla mostly, and the game is anything but simple. It is only simple if you don't actually look into technical aspects of the game.

That's true, I always forget about the crazy shit you can do with redstone since I'm not into it so much.

terraria is an actual game

minecraft is virtual lego

minecraft isnt bad, i just find it boring. i like terraria way more

---

Yeah if we're talking in terms of video games, it's honestly not even close. Terraria is an actual massive adventure with a constantly evolving world. Minecraft added Terraria-esque things over time, but comparatively it's maybe like half of the variety Terraria offers.

In terms of creative outlets, yeah Terraria is honestly kinda limited. There are Terraria mods too, and anybody who can keep a consistent fortress pvp server going will probably have a mindnumbingly fun time. But Minecraft will probably eclipse Terraria in this regard.

Also there are just more people trying to build on top of a flimsy base that is Minecraft, so it's bound to eventually reach Terraria levels of gameplay with enough mods added, but I think it also suffers from a very inflexible base that limits the fun of the battle. Terraria literally lets you do anything in terms of combat, and Minecraft also comes with some catch whenever you want to do anything. They also semi-nerfed arrows over time, which imo made it less fun. There's only so much a mod can do to fix something that's within the core gameplay without causing some jank

Never played either.

Now Starbound on the other hand...
---

I want a game that does both while actually looking good, like Dragon Quest Builders. Not even remotely as big and open as MC, or character kustomization heavy as Terra, but it's a good starting point for a middle ground.

Also. Dungeon Defenders, (though not as polished) did a good take on bringing Terraria to a 3D plane.

I wish I could find the pictures of when I built a full size replica of Notre Dame in Minecraft.

I legit dont get why starbound wasnt just dlc for Terriria you know given how its just adventure mode but with less content since terriria has its own adventure mode now
