i've tried mine craft.. and im not seeing what everyone likes about this game

tubers4098d ago

It's probably more for the gamer that has a more active-creative quirk :)

That being said, it bored me the 1st 3 minutes.

IaMs124098d ago

I personally believe that game was a lot better whenever it was in alpha/beta phases. They have changed and added in things that just doesnt make it seem like minecraft, to me at least, anymore.

Still is enjoyable for those who like to build things and explore a little.

Baylex4098d ago

Yeah.. tried it like 3 or 4 minutes.. and didn't understand the point of the game.. can someone explain to me the point of the game? the true objective of it. Do you have to conquer something? or beat something? does the game have a story? or NPC's? At least I couldn't find any...
If minecraft were a creater for games... like RPG Maker!! It would have a meaning... create games!!

Soldierone4098d ago

First suggestion would be play it for more than "4 minutes"

I felt the same way. Watched someone play it, touched it for a minute, and hated it. Then you get it and spend a good hour in it and you get addicted to it.

There are NPC's, monsters, and the point is to build something while still surviving the monsters and hunger. You also have to explore and find food, all while being creative as you do it.

Bimkoblerutso4098d ago (Edited 4098d ago )

You can't think of it in terms of what other games are trying to achieve. It's as simple as that. If you can get past the lack of any sort of narrative or artificial structure, then you can start having fun just collecting, surviving, planning and inevitably shaping an entire world out of the simple core mechanics provided. You can create your own objectives if you absolutely feel like you have to cross a finish line, but more than anything, you just have to break the habit of assuming that the game is going to be a "competition" in the first place.

Depends what type of person you are. Most people into it are the type that love to customize and personalize and create things.

TheSaint4098d ago

Someone doesn't like something others do, that can't be!!!!

Seriously though, why'd you come here to post about a game that doesn't interest you?

Cerv-Clash4098d ago

I said the same thing but after I got over a certain curve, I started loving the game.

I'd compare it to lego. It can be as fun as you make it out to be.

Why is this connected to PS3, PSV, Wii U, and wii?

subtenko4098d ago

Cause people... :/ I've seen this happen before.

About minecraft, yea it's chaning and I havent played minecraft in like 3 years so..idk. All ima say is making a game more complicated might have a drawback, im not sure.

Also, I'm surprised they didnt put minecraft on ps3 first rather than xbox (unless they were paid /bribed by m$) Because the ps move makes more sense than the kinect does.

MooseWI4098d ago

Lot of haters in here whoa.

Beetey4098d ago

Maybe, but who doesn't love haters?

lilbroRx4098d ago (Edited 4098d ago )

I would prefer if news that isn't pertinent to a given section not appear within it.

buffalo10664098d ago

minecraft isnt on the ps3 why is it in this section?? although i do own the game which is why i clicked the link. still definitely in the wrong category

TheGrimOfDeath4098d ago

He even added PS Vita. I really hate people who just add random tags.

shinoff218343d ago

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 Name43d ago

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

Inverno43d 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?

LucasRuinedChildhood43d ago (Edited 43d 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.

Inverno43d 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.

AuraAbjure43d 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_Sakai63d ago (Edited 63d 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.”

OtterX62d 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.
