For the best 3 hours I've been trying to play Minecraft. Open the launcher, click play, got some library downloading issue. Reinstall the game after 1 hour of restarting the launcher doesn't download it. Delete the .minecraft folder after reinstall, no dice, still. Deleted libraries, still not working. No idea what's going on, Windows 8.1, 64 bit, updated Java as well. Antivirus was disabled, firewall isn't blocking Minecraft, no idea what is going on, I am in need of help.
