I can’t seem to account for several hours of my life last week. I suspect that the Minecraft icon on my desktop is somehow the cause of this. Like many hundreds of thousands before me, I have been roped into the resource collecting phenomena. After many lengthy sessions with the game I have to say that I’m completely digging this little gem from Mojang Specifications, but I’m completely baffled by the game’s concept.
Minecraft's 15th year anniversary is being celebrated with a new free map, one filled with memorabilia from the game's history.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.
That's next Thursday.
It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.
What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.
There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.
If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.
Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in
The Microsoft Store has hinted at the upcoming release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam.
1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.
This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
The game looks like shit graphically from what I've seen.
I can't comment on the gameplay though, I'll have to eventually try it to give it a shot. Seems being to me but w/e.
Let us know what you think of the article and Minecraft itself. Are you as hopelessly in love with this game as we are?
Didn't that come out almost a year ago? I guess most people are over it already.
It is a fun game, but the devs should try harder to keep it interesting, right now it isn't looking too good.
I find MineCraft to be similar to a game like Civilization.
There isn't really any goal (asside from survive) and on paper, it just sounds boring.
I can't fully explain the addictive nature of it either.
It starts with something simple as 'I think I'll place a flower here' and before you know it, the whole day has passed and you're building mordor. Although it kinds gets lonely after a while. =/
Though I found the graphics to be charming.
Minecraft is the best browser based game i ever played and that´s already means something.
Its a great way to pass your time with friends
