From news that was just announced today, a new book covering the story of how "Minecraft" changed the gaming world will be hitting retailers this coming November.
According to information sent to Examiner.com today, Seven Stories Press announced "Minecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus 'Notch' Persson and the Game that Changed Everything" will be coming to book stores on Nov. 20th.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
YouTuber Potomy has revealed new details about the new Bloodborne mod and that it is now in a playable state for Minecraft.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
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.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
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.
I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I just don't see what people find in this...
Do we really need a book for this haha.
minecraft didnt change anything its just the on of many games that came out before it to get popular. minecraft is fun for a bit but nothin you should be sinking massive time into especially after seeing other stuff people make completely destroys the stuff you make. you really dont get much out of minecraft even if you are th creative type. id get legos instead because you can do roleplay battles and storys that are more pic then small weak spider and zombie things chasing you.
Lbp was the real start in creating and makingn your own worlds type deal it started all of this type of stuff
1) Completely recycle an existent game
2) Market it very well
3) Sell lots of copies
4) Gaming is changed forever!!

I like Minecraft, but "changed everything"?.....meh, I don't know about that. You could incorporate it into the whole indie scene changing things, but the indie scene didn't begin or end with Minecraft.
Lots of games changed the gaming world, yet do you see any books being written about it? Ego much?
