An extremely small minority of people are cursed with the concept of "taste". Decades ago, a large portion of people who liked video games were this type of person. As pedowood ceded more and more financial ground to the burgeoning video game market, media companies jumped on that gravy train and started telling people that games were cool. This came to a head in 2007, when it became "cool" and "hip" to have an iPhone, whereas people previously thought that having a computer made you some sort of freak. Now instant web access and "games" were in the hands of a billion retards with no ability to manage their money. Game publishers had to mine this new market of fucking idiots more dollars and no sense.

And here we are today.

I don't know what the block does, do you? I don't know. I dunno. Hey everybody, I'm here with my good friend, Inspector Gadget. Uh, how're you doing Inspector Gadget? I'm having a lot of fun. So, you wanna do some reviews, Inspector Gadget? I'm better than you are, so I should do the review. Okay, alright, well, Inspector Gadget's gonna do the review. You can shut up now, I'm always on duty! Hmm, do you have that game, "Miney Crafta"? Penny was telling me she was playing it on her computer book. Let's play Miney Crafta! Um, well, I have Minecraft, I think that's probably what you're talking about. Let's try that. Hmm, oh yes, this is it: Miney Crafta! No no no, Inspector gadget, it's called Minecraft. Oh, Minecrap! I cannot wait to play Minecrap. Do you know what my favorite thing to do is in Minecrap? I love building bricks with Minecrap. Building bricks with Minecrap is the best thing and the most amount of fun you can have while playing an app. I understand why all the kids are playing this game these days it's because they like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. I also like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. It's the most fun you can possibly have. What is the point of Minecrap? Well, there really is no point. It's a sandbox game. Oh good, I love building sandcastles. No, that just means you can do anything you want like explore, build stuff, and mess around. What kind of stuff can you build? Well, anything, really. There's one guy that built a scale model of the Starship Enterprise. My deduction skills as a detective tell me he has quite possibly, never had sex. Come on, Inspector Gadget, it's about expressing your creativity! But, he is just copying a fake rocket ship blueprint designed by someone else! Seems more like monkey see, monkey do than using creative energy if you ask me. Oh, you think you can do better, huh? I have a robotic implant in my brain that lets me preform 12,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second. I could rewrite the entire game's code, while helping Penny with her homework, and cleaning up brain's doody, all at the same time! He's a nerd, and I hate nerds more than I hate MAD agents. What an asshole! He may not have a powerful cybernetic brain like yours, but I think that the kid used Minecraft in a unique, and complex, yet beautiful way, making the adaptation of– I told you to shut up, but you didn't listen. Oh look, a free iPad.

It was mildly entertaining to me when it was new, and I played with a few Internet people on their server, making various wonders, like a powered rail line that visited everyone's domains, and a Vic Viper that would play part of the Gradius intro when you rode past it.

Then it got really dull, really fast, so I dropped it entirely.

It's child friendly without being complete shovelware and it also appeals to adults, which is extremely rare. When you build shit it feels like you're laying it brick by brick. Just like legos. It feels very natural and even digging out the resources feels natural. Combined with the fact it's at the perfect scale for people to make shitty box buildings and gigantic autismo recreations of fantasy areas it has a absolutely massive audience to work with.

>horrible optimization despite being bought out by a trillion-dollar company

Minecraft has a light medieval fantasy aesthetic, so no Cars, just castles, and the like.

I think the theoretical Minecraft 2 would have to have things like the ability to create custom blocks and entities in-game, so that players could more easily create other worlds besides just the default light medieval fantasy one. Microsoft might eschew that idea in favor of just charging for more skins and texture packs like they do in the Windows 10 version.

>>16933728

If you actually look into how Minecraft works, it's amazing it even runs as well as it does. Notch was an amateur when he made the game— hell you could say he still is— and the chunk system really reflects that. Microsoft, despite porting the game out of Java, didn't do much of anything to actually improve its performance either.

Terraria is more-or-less what Minecraft should be, but in 2D. Assloads of content built upon a solid foundation. Instead Notch just kept faffing around with new gameplay systems that didn't make it past the proof-of-concept phase. It's a game that looks to me, a programmer, like what I would do if I wanted to have fun and muck about with a game engine. The resulting game looks like a giant tech demo. Of course, many of what I consider the greatest games are still tech demos (any id game for example) but those games still had at least a few fully fleshed out features that made me want to keep playing. Minecraft has a fairly fleshed out building system… but everything else is very half-baked.

That's why I said "but in 2D" you mongrel. The staggering popularity of mods which add content which would not be out of place in Terraria (additional dimensions/realms with new monsters, new weapons, new magic systems) also disagrees with you. It's clearly what resonates with a huge portion of the playerbase and what Notch should have went for. Instead he just kept fucking around and appropriating mods into the game code.

No idea. Should have been dropped after everyone realized that there not only would never be a satisfying conclusion to the gameplay, but the entirety of the gameplay loop would be completely fucked for the next fucking few decades because the devs decided cosmetics and useless updates were more important than the actual game.

Although I happen to agree they should include mods, I never said that a developer should steal them. Why are you so desperate for someone to argue with on an anonymous imageboard?

<BUT IT DOESN'T COUNT WHEN NOTCH DOES IT, THAT'S STEALING AND ALSO BAD

Yes, plagiarism is indeed bad. You attended grade school, right? Even here in Burgerland they teach us that plagiarism is bad. Or do you unironically support making money off of others' hard work while putting in almost none of your own? I'm pretty sure that makes you a kike, anon.

You also ignored the problem and my main point, which was that he integrated the mod code, then never actually continued developing it, which was pretty amusing because the modders would usually continue working on their own mods, making Notch's efforts entirely pointless. Again, lots of half-baked features, never anything complete or solidified. And then he lost half his money to a whore. What a great role model you chose to defend.

No one is talking about stealing "words" you intentionally obtuse nigger. The features in Minecraft would not exist if it wasn't for some guy that Notch never gave a fuck about who never saw a dime of the profits from Minecraft. Again, this is what you are defending. He stole labor, not words. Both the creative energy put into hatching the idea for the feature in the first place and the code written for it weren't made by Notch. I'm actually a pro open source guy, but this is just like taking someone's open source project from GitHub, then rebranding it and selling it as your own product without any enhancements at all. Right now you sound like a gigantic kike with a suit and cigar saying "Eh, he's just a sucker, he shouldn't have made his code open source if he didn't want someone to take it and sell it." I don't care about the legality of it, this is not how creative people should behave around each other.

I don't know if any game actually did what Minecraft did before Minecraft. There may have been mining games, building games, survival games, but Minecraft bought it all together in a way that felt good. After that point, it's just brand recognition. I'm sure there are way better Minecraft clones now.

There is also just something innately charming about a game that's made by some guy in his free time. It's like home cooking. Sometimes the professional sheen actually takes something away.
