I am confused, i should play minecraft? But i agree everything Gota said... i think your theory is flawed.smoth wrote:if you are the later do not play minecraft, go play wow.
Hmm. i played this game called Clonk Planet (and many other games when i was younger), just to explore etc... I loved to try to survive in extreme situations in this Clonk Planet game, just trying to build and fix your land, i chose the maps to have lots of volcanoes in purpose, and lots of lightnings, everything that can fuck me up. Somehow, it felt nice, but now when i am older, somehow i just dont see the point, it feels like i am just wasting my time, and i feel that i already know how it ends and thus it feels pointless to do it over and over again.smoth wrote:Minecraft's appeal is that you show up in a place with NO goal and NO direction. It is entirely your own to choose. Some like to wander the landscape looking for cool areas. Others like to mine and collect the rare diamonds. ME? I like to build a small home stocked with food and weapons then hunt creepers at night.
I also liked to extract minerals from the underground, build elevators, oil digging facility, cut trees and drag them to sawmill to give you wood resources etc. God damn it was cool when i found out how to build an elevator myself, without any instructions, because at those days i couldnt even read english
It was all super hard to play, the controls were fucked up, had weird combinations, like double button press + some other button after that did something etc. And the way you set up the elevator is really complicated: first you find materials, wood and rock (either by digging or buying [your cabin has some amount of resources you can buy, not much]), then you buy some weird box that allows you to build stuff at that place you double-press-some-button-again (lol), then you build that windmill (be sure the windmill doesnt hit ground or anything solid so it can spin freely), then build elevator, and then you buy a wire, put wire from windmill to elevator (NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!) and then you go on the elevator and doublepress some button to make the elevator dig the ground under it. Some other button stopped the elevator etc. I lost my nerves many times with those elevator controls XDWas really fun to make super big map and design your elevator holes in a way that allows the water that rains from above to have own path where it will get stored, so you wont die when you drop in the water at the bottom of the elevator hole (the elevator will sometimes get you stuck if you are in water and under elevator). And when the winter comes, you go to that water storage you built, you dig the frozen water, press some button to make snowballs while you dig! (you could also make dirtballs from normal ground, useful if you need to fill a hole afterwards). Snowballs melted at summer and made water, i didnt really find a point in snowballs though, never really used them. But the point is, this way you could keep your elevator holes clean and they wont get stuck by snow or water.
Also the nice thing in this Clonk Planet game was that your guys also level up, you got new skills: climb at walls, climb at ceilings, etc. Every time you level up you got some way or another better character. And you level up by simply just playing, no need to do special tasks like kill people or etc. Simply just running around/throwing rocks gave most experience if i remember correctly.
But this is all in the past now... i doubt theres people from clonk planet playing minecraft nowadays. I JUST DOUBT IT.
Too bad the multiplayer mode is a lag fest and bugged if i remember correctly :/ Need really low ping.
