Minecraft vs. Other Games?

ShayneMc · 11-07-2011

Honestly, what's so great about minecraft? I've played once and it didn't interest me. For a few days, yes. Cause I was bored. But I easily grew out of it in less than a week. People constantly say "the fun is mostly building stuff". Well if that's what all the hype is about, why don't they just get cheaper 3D design tools and construct massive structures that have a lot more detail and personality than blocks of limited material?

Other than that, the enemies or whatever they're called and the gameplay doesn't seem all that interesting. I understand it can be a relaxing game, a "vacation" from life, I guess. Like a book, if you want to put it that way. But serious players, please state your reasons for playing because I don't understand what all the hype is about. I prefer Graal over Minecraft because you can create more detailed levels, with more tiles rather than a bunch of blocks.

Adventure and creativity as well as a little bit of imagination.

MINECRAFT vs CAPCOM. pew pew pew!
Also on your note of "minecraft vs graal", wish minecraft had NPCs, scriptable ones would be nicer (without the need to fondle with the entire client/smp server for a static entity in Java)

It's constantly being updated with content, but besides that, there are infinite servers to play on once you outgrow SMP

Well Minecraft allows you to combine your artistic skills with other players too. You can also create your own kind of enviroment like a castle, village, skyscraper, etc. It's not just all about building. You also get to fight other creatures/people with weapons you make. In my opinion it's fun trading items you find with other players so you can complete your house.
