Yeah, the fun of Minecraft for me is that it's the game I think most of us dreamed about when we were kids. You can do ANYTHING. I have played and seen a lot of games that make big promises about open worlds, or terrain, or destructible environments, and they all come up short in the end. In Minecraft, if I don't like the hillside I built my farm on, I can level the hillside. Not many other games let you do that, and the ones that do tend to sacrifice something in the gameplay to give you that ability.ISBPathfinder wrote: ↑1 year agoI have always kind of wondered what the appeal of Minecraft is. I have seen it played a bunch but it doesn't look that interesting of a game. That said, for whatever reason I love Terraria which could be compared to minecraft. I have a weird thing for 2d side scrollers though. I always felt like Terraria had more emphasis on combat and bosses though where as minecraft feels more like a building sandbox than a video game to me.
What I really love about Minecraft, though, is just playing with friends. Me and my brother would always play on a server with his friends, and had a blast. Another awesome thing is the sheer number of mods the game has. At first I was reluctant to use mods because I had heard about mods like Equivalent Exchange/Dirt-to-Diamonds, which are just really bad and unbalanced, but once I played the GOOD mods, like Thaumcraft, IC2, Buildcraft, BoP and all the rest there was no looking back for me.
With mods you can basically tailor every aspect of the game to fit what you want. (Of course I'm probably talking to people who are well aware of what mods do lol) Whether you like Magical systems, technology, exploration, combat, transportation, world gen, farm animals, you name it, there's a mod that can make it better or generate it.
If I had to do a top ten games of all time, Minecraft would be right up there if not #1.
