GamrReview - Minecraft Review

Gordon Bryant Says: "In the end, Minecraft is the kind of adventure game that can be infinitely enjoyable in the hands of the right person. While not everyone is going to be keen on a game that is seemingly aimless, others will bask in the glory of utter freedom and create some truly wonderful things within its world."

A fair score, still not my kind of game. Stories are mandatory for me in a good game.

Runa2164529d ago

Like I said, not for everyone, and that's totally cool.

3GenGames4529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

Good story=Good story. Good Game=Good GAME. Note how it says game. Game=whole thing. I mean, besides RPG's, all NES games wouldn't be above a 8 then because there's either no story or a generic story. And yeah, that'd put games like Super Mario Bros. 3 on an 8/10 because it doesn't have a storyline with many characters and subplots? lulz, what garbage.

Runa2164529d ago

No need to be aggressive, we're all entitled to our own preferences, likes, and dislikes.

Torillian4529d ago

I agree with this more so than most of the 10's I'm seeing out there. Feels like some reviewers are taking advantage of the fact they already know it's a phenomenon so the scoring is easy.

Runa2164529d ago

you know what they say, Hindsight is 20/20, so of course it's easy to guage a game's success after it's proven itself a success.

Rucolapesto4529d ago

aah, minecraft, it's good to see that even an indie developer can make something great! ^^

lifesanrpg4529d ago

i'd say indie developers make greater things than many of the AAA publishers/developers.

3GenGames4529d ago

^ The older the system the better the homebrew is for it in all honestly. NES homebrew for instance is way better than the games released during the time. And same goes for other system like Coleco and Atari, good games are made by people with passion, not big corporations that need a game and 6 months and have X to spend.

Machina4529d ago

This craze passed me by, but I'm not sure if I mind all that much tbh.

CrawFail4529d ago

Brilliant game. Not updated to the latest release yet..
What are the changes?

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name34d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno34d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno34d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure34d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX53d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
