Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition Review (GodisaGeek.com)

GodisaGeek: "Minecraft is not a game that relies on cutting edge visuals or even physics, and because of that it has a truly timeless appeal. Be careful though, Minecraft is a love it or hate it kind of game, if you connect with its ideals, at 1600 Microsoft Points you’ll unlikely find a better value game on the market. However, if you lack the patience or simply wish for a more focused experience, there really is nothing for you in Minecraft. The lack of a create mode and a disappointing online system hold the game back from reaching the heights of the PC version, but the core mechanics which make Minecraft so special are here and executed perfectly. So if you’ve been eagerly awaiting the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft, dig in, you won’t be disappointed."

this could be a big hit for Microsoft. the reviews suggest it's a very good port too. i'm doubtful that this will ever come to the PS3 so it could boost the sales of the 360 this week in America. a nice acquisition by MS

WeskerChildReborned4404d ago

Kinda jealous that it won't come to PS3. I guess it's my time to buy a 360 or a gaming PC(which i've been planning too just haven't got the money yet.)

mr_badhand4402d ago

Nice stealth pot shot you wrote there mr. Gribble.

I saw what you did in that statement ;)

GribbleGrunger4402d ago

what the hell are you on about? some of you really need to stop assuming and start reading

mr_badhand4402d ago

We both know, but I won't say anything since your so innocent.

*wink*

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.

Einhander19726d ago (Edited 6d 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.

MrDead7d 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_Batman7d ago (Edited 7d 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.

Number1TailzFan7d 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

helicoptergirl7d ago

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

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.

UltimateOwnage9d ago

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