Why do people continue to play this game? I have played it plenty, hours upon hours, and I've just started to realize how much it really isn't good at all.
Oh wow, so you can build stuff. Why not just use legos or something? Randomly generated maps? Play a freaking roguelike, or go outside. The world is so beautiful and people are wasting their lives playing this game.
The worst part of this is the person who created this terrible plague of a game. Notch. At one point, sure he did Friday updates and committed himself to the game somewhat. He went on his blog and talked to his fans about the game regularly. But he got money. He sold out. He updates the blog maybe once every two to three weeks. He's branching this piece of crap game to different consoles. People are creating mods and skins just because of how bored they are getting with it. And Mojang won't even add mod support. It's been months, and they should get to it already. I just see this game EVERYWHERE, and there's no need. Thousands of Minecraft Let's Play videos plague youtube.
No wonder so many people pirate this game, though. I bought it because I had high hopes for it, but it looks like it's going no where.
Oh lastly, this forum sucks too. People waste their lives here posting all day. Arguing, trolling, greifing. It's just so pointless. Play a game and enjoy it. Nothing can come from jumping on this website and squandering your time. I'm guessing just because I put a little bit of emotion into my post and it's not something the mods want to hear they will delete it.
I just recommend that you don't waste your time with this abomination of a game. And if you haven't bought it yet, don't waste your money.

Mod support comes out in the next update, and if you hate the game and forms so much don't play or post.
And I recommend you don't post on these forums if your complaining about wasting life. You just wasted your time posting this idiotic thread. Let people deal with their own lives, no one needs to listen to you.
Why do you insist on trolling? Mabie In you you don't like minecraft but you don't have to bash it and tell us we're wasting time with it. A lot of people greatly enjoy minecraft. We don't want trolls like you how to spend our time. GTFO
Take your own advice on the trolling thing :wink.gif:
Hahahahahahaha, okay you got me. I love this game. It really is good. I just had to troll a bit. I'm sorry that a lot of you can't pick that out. It wasn't really necessary of me to do that. I just saw a very negative comment on IGN and so I thought I'd try that out here and see what happened. I was being honest about the forums, though. They kind of suck. I used to waste so much of my time on them. And I'm sure eventually most of you will regret it like me.
I'd like to see you make a better game.
I don't need to in order to criticize another game. Since when has that been a requirement?
I have to agree with the OP on some parts. Like how Notch has stopped caring about his fanbase and pretty much "sold-out."
And yes, this was the main point I was trying to make. He just forgot about those of us who really care about this game, and it sucks. I miss checking his blog everyday for updates. I still have it bookmarked but it's just pointless. He rarely talks about the game itself. Also, the adventure update is making it sound more RPG-ish. Which is NOT what Notch was ever going for before. Perhaps there is outside influence? :ohmy.gif:
This game is virtually unlimited in scale, if some serious development were to take place. I don't mean 4 or 5 guys sitting in basement somewhere. I mean teams and teams of 4 or 5 guys sitting in Electronic Arts. This game could be (all in one package) everything from Simcity to The Sims to Sim 'everything' to an awesome dungeon crawler with rpg elements, to a real-time strategy, etc etc. Hell with the circuitry and science based aspects it could be a teaching tool. Seriously, amazing product.
I finally bought it too after hearing good things nonstop, and I'm glad I did. It's fun as hell. But, like the OP said, and I agree, this beta crap needs to move on. When I heard of the console ports, I thought this my be the catalyst to get some kind of 'end-version' game, so we'll see. I just hope the development goes into this game that it deserves.
I 'get the feeling' the developers aren't sure which way to take this game, and I don't blame them, because it could 'go' anywhere...
Minecraft is a lot more expanive than Legos will ever be. For 20 bucks or so you can play with friends, and for FREE you can have an entire randomly-generated map 3 times as large as the surface of the earth. Not to mention Legos may give you a chance to unleash creativity, but Minecraft, as unrealistic as it is, teaches you better ways of solving practical problems, like how would YOU get a 200-pound tarantula out of your atic? The real solution probably wouldn't be "cary your dog up with you and beat it to death with your bare fists", but it's still a lot more acurate than what you could actually learn from Legos. It also just gives you more option. Lego hasn't found a way to make its bricks deffy the laws of gravity yet, and gravity is arguably the biggest restriction in constructing a building. So why not go out into the beautiful world? Well, pretty much anything mildly exciting in the real world invlolves either risking your leg bone or even your life, a risk most of us wouldn't take when we can experience amazingly lifelike simulated excitement without risking much more than falling out of our desk chairs.

Yeah. That's why.
Some people don't have the physical space either.
You wouldn't want to kill a poor little dragon would you? You monster?
