    Default Who loves Minecraft?

    There's barely any talk about Minecraft here.
    Who here plays and what are your thoughts on it?

    From videos it just looks like you create stuff and that's it. Is there anymore to the game?

    Fun is what you make of it, minecraft especially so.

    Sadly, this game makes me feel ill.

    No, really. For some reason the game makes me feel ill. It gives me godawful motion sickness... as bad if not worse than Half-Life 2.

    I'm more of a Terraria guy, myself.

    Don't you mean walk right and jump(or swim and fly?) Technically you can walk either direction, but the usual direction to the end of the stage is to the right.

    I'm with you in the sense that I don't understand the objective. I originally took it to be a "world building" game, but heard you have to build to defend against some sort of army or foe.

    I'm not a big PC guy, but would like to try it when it comes to Kinect.

    Minecraft is awesome, the open ended nature of it is truly mesmerizing and I find it effortless to put hours into this game. The current $20+ price tag may seem a bit steep for a game that's buggy, poorly optimized and incomplete but that's all you'll ever have to spend on it. Performance and content is continuously being updated and you'll have free access to all advances for the life of the project.

    Until the genuine XBLA Minecraft release, you might be interested in checking out one of the handful of Minecraft clones on Xbox Live Indie Games, should the idea of a console version of the game float your boat. The best of those, IMHO, is Total Miner: Forge as it feels the most like the game its directly derived from.

    PM sent.

    I enjoy minecraft for simply being creative and building things but with obstacles that present themselves in the game like the various mobs or just terrain or logistical challenges. Its a game that doesn't really have a stated goal and if you cant wrap your brain around that or you just find that unfun then its not the game for you. Otherwise you can literally lose yourself in it and the joke "just one more block" really is how I at least get sucked into minecraft for extended periods of time.

    Minecraft is something I've been meaning to try, but just haven't bothered yet. I've watched a few streams by the Backloggery guys and it seems like something I could get into, but $26 just for me to test the thing goes against my sensibilities. Maybe if the program goes on sale sometime I'll jump.

    Prog you run a minecraft server for friends too? Fun!

    In any case for me and my friends our fun is trying to take basic items and build something we otherwise couldn't do in real life. Such as stadiums where people fight to the death. Since we don't die for good, it's all good fun with friends!

    In honesty like it's been said it's the user that will make the game fun. most of us like sandbox games where you can build dismantle and restart what you are doing. Definitely for those who love to plan and design.

    Some things from the past we built before changing server files: We've cleaned up since.
