I think I just proved my point that judging a book by its cover...or in your case a person by its name on a forum....can make you fell like an a**.

I'm an ass. Get used to it

If this community was better I wouldn't be so bad, but it makes me feel only apathy. The fact people are still raging about this despite being able to play this thing on the computer for a year or so now does not help this

Ok for 1... I made this account and theiking account without the number. But I created theiking account about a month before i started using the forums about a year and a half ago and at that time I forgot the password and the reset option wasnt working. Im sure I could contact a admin and have them reset it for me.

Good to see you have a reason, at least. My general point about people like Link7524 or whatever still does stand

Edit: oh and... "by the way" I dont like people who say insulting things about someone when they are totally wrong....it just makes them seem like more of an ass that way

My level of "Ass" is astronomical

EXACTLY! And thats where mojang is going to get alot of backlash in my opinion is that they kind of just....split the community in half and I dont think its going to bode well at all. As weve seen in the last few hours the major console war this has started on the forums

Nuts to console wars. Buy what you think is good, don't buy what you think is bad. Back in my day we had console wars and none of this tiny little complaining we have. Sega does what Nintendon't and all that

I was going to leave it at this, but then I saw another post from thei. And, by the way, I do not like people putting numbers in their name just because they aren't the first one. People should just pick a new original name

However there are many many reasons that your statement isnt 100% accurate

1) Not Everyone has a computer that is capable of running minecraft decently

In this day and age? I know Minecraft is a guzzler because Notch can't optimise to save his life, but its at least still workable

2) Not everyone wants to sit in front of a computer for a few hours

And a TV makes this different somehow?

3) Some people prefer controllers to a mouse and keyboard, myself included

Plug a controller into your PC. Problem solved!

4) While we already own the game on PC, doesnt mean we dont want to live out the whole new experience a Console version will bring

...

Its the exact same game, except inevitably several patches behind. How is that a new experience? What is new about that? You'd get the same experience plugging a controller into your PC, projecting Minecraft onto a wall, and playing

I can tell you from experience that having a PC version and having that same game on console feels totally different
In example. Ps3 users who purchased portal 2, also received the pc version on steam as well...WITH cross platform multiplayer.
My point im getting to with Portal 2 is that I enjoy laying on the couch with my 60 inch 1080p television and relaxing in a comfortable position instead of sitting hunched over to reach a keyboard in front of my 27 inch monitor straining my eyes. (which is a major health problem for your spine and eyes)

Well, maybe you should read about ergonomics, particularly how you shouldn't be hunched over your keyboard. Seriously, bad for your back

And you do know you could, y'know, hook up your TV and your computer so it'll display on it, right? Or just go the awesome route, buy a projector, and have that sucker displayed on a wall

It all comes down to preference and its not up to anyone to dictate anyones opinions and preferences, whether they be PS3 users, 360 users or PC users.

Yes, preference. This is your point. Its not "A whole new experience", its "The same experience on a different system". Its like playing Sonic 2 on the Mega Drive and then playing it on the Gamecube or something. Its the same exact experience

I REALLY like the way Jeb is taking Minecraft. The only thing to make the biome system perfect right now would be to add melons that spawn in the world naturally like pumpkins and to replace the boring tundra biome with the glacier biome from this mod http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/907403-11-ssp-smp-extrabiomes-v141-update-new-autumn-woods-and-green-hills/

Tundras exist in real life

Crazy stuff like that doesn't. I'd prefer tundras because they actually, y'know, exist

I am aware that glaciers exist, but I know that they don't look anything like that biome
