there is no objective in the game, in other words sooner or later you will turn around look at your self and say
"i built everything cool there is to build...now what"
no im not sure what there 4/5 rating is comparing this game too. if its comparing it to all indie games sure this is one of the best out there, but if its comparing it to all pc games then no way.

its being compared to all indie games. Comparing an indie game to commercially made games (costing millions of dollars and enormous manpower) is unfair.

Blackdeath_6634720d ago

Well i guess minecraft brought this new genre into light and now with the popularity terraria is getting this looks like there are gonna be more games of that sort

mixelon4725d ago

I'd give it 5/5.. Compared to any game. It's not for everyone but it's great for those who get into it.

You can set your own objectives. You get bored of any game. There's a lot more to do and more gameplay time to spend in MC than almost anything else. Its nice to have a game with infinite scope so the player can decide when they're done rather than the designers. I wish more games had procedurally generated stuff.

On multiplayer servers particularly Minecraft has a lot more depth than most commercial titles. Ive not got as much out of any other game.

How exactly can you run out of cool things to build anyway? That's just limited by imagination and willingness to spend time on it.

maximus13124725d ago

yeah it has that never ending "The Sims" like appeal, and online but that just puts some people off. having no goal sometimes makes a game pointless. If u know what i mean.

GrumpyVeteran4725d ago

this game is being remade in C#, it performs so much better away from slow java code.

even tho C# is managed code rather than C++, its still insanely better so there we go lol

maximus13124725d ago

really?! that would make the game much cooler

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 Name37d ago

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

Inverno37d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood37d ago (Edited 37d 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.

Inverno37d 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.

AuraAbjure37d 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_Sakai58d ago (Edited 58d 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.”

OtterX56d 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.
