Review: Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition - Destructoid

Destructoid:

Minecraft's success simply cannot be denied, whether you're one of its many loyal fans or highly vocal detractors. The blocky world and lack of objectives may be deceptively simple, but its honest freedom, as well as hidden depths both literal and figurative, has earned a cult following that is easily understood.

Sometimes I cant tell the difference between destructoid and gamesradar. Both sites strike me as 2 of the most fickle gaming websites I have ever had the misfortune of visiting.

Emilio_Estevez4369d ago

People do have different opinions you know, and 7.5 is in no way bad.

MerkinMax4369d ago

You've obviously seen the game enough over the past year to form your own opinions on it. At this point, you shouldn't need these sites to tell if it's your cup of tea or not.

WeskerChildReborned4369d ago

7.5 isn't bad and i would much rather rely on their reviews than IGNs i mean don't get me wrong, Some of IGNs reviews are good but also some are really bad where the reviewer would only describe the cons and no pros.

Redgehammer4369d ago

I am not upset by any means, and I consider all most all opinions relevent. I was really just remarking upon what I perceive to be a common theme between two websites, and not so much about the review itself. I should have made that clear in my first comment. Thanks for the replies, and the dissent.

Regardless of the quality of this game. I'll wait for FinancialGamer to show up and spam this title like he created it.

waiting....

EDIT: Anyway. Game look cool. It would be cool if they allowed you to download PC-made levels, or do they? hmmm... I should look into this.

EDIT #@:
Thank coolbeans. I hope they add more to it.
FG, grow up and quit spamming and trolling man.

Your wait has ended!! You need wait no more for I am with you!
Decent review. Great in fact. Another successful pc to 360 translationi

Mincraft wiki website: "4J Studios confirmed that it has all the features of the Minecraft PC version Beta 1.6.6."

I'm not sure what this means, since I haven't played the PC version of Minecraft, but that's the closest I could find in regards to your edit.

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 Name41d ago

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

Inverno41d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood41d ago (Edited 41d 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.

Inverno41d 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.

AuraAbjure41d 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_Sakai62d ago (Edited 62d 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.”

OtterX61d 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.
