I don't think there's a lot of overlap between "people who post on Board 8" and "people who play Minecraft."

It's my assumption that everybody here already has tons of hours in Minecraft. It was an indie darling even before it became for kids or whatever. It really is just a gold standard of the industry.

Minecraft is a game design invented by Zachtronics and stolen by Notch with no recognition given to the original, and he used it to make literal billions of dollars, which he used to attempt to buy his way into the evil inner circle of the Californian tech industry, but he failed because there's nothing they hate more than new money, and now no one wants anything to do with him and he's spiraled into the mental health black hole of the manosphere.

As someone who enjoys building in the 3D space I find Minecraft pretty enjoyable. I feel like it gets this reputation as a "kid's game" because of the crowd it cultivates or whatever, but it can be pretty impressive and complex as an artistic tool.

Now if you're not art brained idk lmao

It's been 16 years since I first got Minecraft.

How are you just getting it done the first time now?

Update Ulti is very very bad at Minecraft.

I made a crafting table but not sure what to do past that and at night I just kinda get blown up.

this sounds like the beginner Minecraft experience to me

It's first person lego. It's fun to make stuff out of the basic bricks, and if you feel like getting more invested you grab a modpack and see what the fancier bricks can do. If you're the sort of person who doesn't enjoy making stuff for the sake of making stuff, minecraft is gonna be boring as hell. Otherwise, it's a good time.

it's fun but not mind-shatteringly good, especially since a million games have iterated on the concept since then in more specialized ways

it has some really cool mods though. skyblock (you start on a block in an infinite void and manufacture all the blocks and parts yourself) and the pixelmon (pokemon) are the neatest. ATLauncher will install the entire modpack and launch it for you as a separate instance from the main game if you ever want to fuck around with them

if you can get people to play with you, it does get more fun. but it's not a requirement like a lot of survival crafters feel like

Minecraft is not really a game. It's a cool piece of software, that a lot of people have found cool things to do with it.

honestly i would never have tried out minecraft either if i somehow didn't get hyped on it days before it left alpha and the price went up. even now i've only returned to it like, twice

still worthwhile tho

I guess I just don't think sandbox games are real games!

I mean, you can "beat" the game, but it's not even possible without following an online guide, is it? Plus, you wouldn't be interacting with 95% of the game's mechanics, on that journey.

so is FFXI not a game? 95% of that shit is obtuse and you'll never figure it out without an online guide. you would genuinely be wandering around for years before you'd find out what a specific ??? spot was used for

being community-driven does not exclude something from being a game

Minecraft is good, but it can have a bit of a wiki problem. I'm not sure how much better it's gotten in this regard, but some crafting recipes kinda required you to look up the materials/patterns. I remember the achievement system got added to help with the early game, but not sure how well it handles the late game.

Still, it's fun to explore and I think the freeform exploration/discovery/building can be really appealing.
