For Those Who Are Still Asking What Minecraft Is

I discovered Minecraft through a youtuber by the name of Seananners, from there I watched davidr64yt’s Minecraft series – that’s when I fell in love with Minecraft!

I'll be able to link people here when they ask me "What I'm on about" when I'm talking about the awesomeness that is Minecraft :D

Minecraft is certified crack cause once you start you can't stop. Near Dos graphics but it's just so dam fun which is what games are supposed to be.

Just imagine if Minecraft had 24 hour advertising like Black Ops versus the ZERO dollar ad budget it has.

Great game, word of mouth advertising, instant PC classic!!

The series thats linked in that post is so addicting! Once you start watching it you really have to go to the end!

therealwillie4965d ago

davidr64yt rocks... seananners "hellllllooooo theeeeree, welc" please shut up

moogle844965d ago

Probably the most over-talked about game in the last couple months... and Call of Duty is just around the corner. Amazing isn't it?

martinm1014965d ago

As true as that may be, when I mention Minecraft to some people, they don't have a clue! And yeah Black ops is out on the 9th :)

fianno4965d ago

I don't think its over talked about, not compared to other games in this day and age. The more successful Minecraft gets the better, it'll show game dev's we value fun over graphics and other gimmicks

I still don't know what it is really and i've been to the makers website, it's a type of world building Rts...right?

Edit--- Just read the article... I c now

Best money I've ever spent on an unfinished game

martinm1014965d ago

Well said man, when you put it like that it really is an achievement! :)

fianno4965d ago

its the most stable alpha I've ever played too

im-12-years-old4965d ago

agreed i haven't run into 1 problem in the past 2 weeks

Alien_Bob4964d ago

More stable than many finished games, even, but to be fair it is comparatively simple.

SmilerAl4965d ago

Great read, I love Minecraft but I'm too cheap to pay for it ^_^

F*** AI

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.

Einhander197211d ago (Edited 11d ago )

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.

MrDead12d ago

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.

I_am_Batman12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

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.

Number1TailzFan12d ago

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

helicoptergirl12d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

BlackDoomAx11d ago

Because human nature xD Almost every new technology had these kind of comments.

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.

UltimateOwnage14d ago

This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
