I am a complete noob, I have never been a gamer other than some Sim city and Hot Shots Golf. I'm also a geezer, probably WAY out of the Minecraft demographic (I'm 67...honest).
So far I find the regular game modes daunting/incomprehensible, however Creative mode really beckons and just last night I got my head around my proper thought process for that, I was muddling a lot of regular/creative together. I'm now actually starting to build. I'm sure I'll be hanging in the appropriate PS3/Creative forums. I can see that it's going to be a lot of fun...
While there are very large numbers of very young players, there are also quite a number of mature adults (folks who have fond memories of how easy things like cleaning the gutters were at 50 ).
I expect you may have heard the "learning cliff" reference popular in the 80's [for instances where a large initial investment acheived only modest gains, but was followed by a large proficiency gain with only marginal further investment]: I found this to be a fairly accurate description of my first forays into Minecraft.
While you may find the resource management aspects of survival simply unfun, this aspect might also present a more enjoyable challenge once you have mastered the basics of move and build.
I play strictly java [AKA Original Platform], so I don't 'hang' in the editions forums…
I'll take, therefore, this opportunity to say "welcome"; I expect "I can see that it's going to be a lot of fun..." will indeed prove to be true.

So, I used to be active on this forum for a long time, but then when the Twitch merge occurred, I quit the forums due to anger. But now, I have decided to return to this forum.

I am new here, so I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself. ( ^ - ^ )9
I found out about Minecraft through some YouTubers quite some time ago, but I only purchased the game in July of 2016. I have been playing ever since, albeit infrequently: I have delved little into the game, you see. From now on, however, I have decided to put some more time into it, so I figured that having an account here would certainly come in handy for when I may need it. ( ^ - ^ )b
And that, I think, summarizes my Minecraft experience until now, and what I expect from this new Minecraft Forum account. (ーωーゞ

Curse PremiumIt's okay, bro. We're all nerds here. Pretty much everyone else is gone.
Oh, yeah. Welcome!
Hello, everyone.
I am a complete noob, I have never been a gamer other than some Sim city and Hot Shots Golf. I'm also a geezer, probably WAY out of the Minecraft demographic (I'm 67...honest).

I'm now actually starting to build. I'm sure I'll be hanging in the appropriate PS3/Creative forums. I can see that it's going to be a lot of fun...
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around...
Could be worse, could be raining...
What I do.
Hi,
Good luck!
Just testing.
