I don't get what's fun about the game but congrats I guess.

SpideySpeakz3905d ago

lol. Minecraft isn't fun if the player isn't creative.
Minecraft is all about creation, creativity, and inventions. You have to have an imagination in order to enjoy Minecraft. That's why this game isn't for everyone.
I love minecraft. It actually makes me feel like a kid again.

GraveLord3905d ago

I actually didn't spend much time on it. I did notice it got less boring the more I played though. I dind't actually try to build a castle though. I don't have the time for that.

IcicleTrepan3905d ago

Mostly you need to spend hours upon hours to accomplish anything in it, which adults don't have time for.

Starbucks_Fan3905d ago

It's VERY fun if you play together with people. You can build stuff pretty fast.

AngelicIceDiamond3905d ago

Well Gravelord your a COD lover, your lvl of fun is that of pre-teen.

HammadTheBeast3905d ago

Well, to be fair, it's mostly kids who play Minecraft, just check out the million Let's Plays on YouTube.

Bigpappy3905d ago

indie success continues. Those who have the talent will succeed. Those who do not will wither away.

SilentNegotiator3905d ago

And those that rip off other peoples' ideas. They sell millions and millions of copies of their games.

annus3905d ago

Notch borrowed almost all of his ideas and the game is programmed terribly.

It's like saying the people behind CoD have more talent compared to other devs because they sell more.

thechosenone3905d ago

can't believe people like to play that boring ass game. smh

Coach_McGuirk3904d ago (Edited 3904d ago )

it's the Legos for today's kids. And adults can have fun too, if you still have some imagination left.

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.

Inverno36d 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.

AuraAbjure36d 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_Sakai57d ago (Edited 57d 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.
