Comment on It's still captivating
lime@feddit.nu 3 weeks agoit’s really cool how much they’ve worked on it over the years. but it’s not for me. i played it when wall of flesh was the final boss, and after beating that i felt like i was done with that gameplay loop.

It can feel very work like. If you don’t like strip minining in minecraft this is not fir you. I actually like building small bases and the limited set of ores works fine enough for me. Yeah in comparison terraria can be overwhelming. But when it’s fun it’s actually fun like few other things. It’s also a very lighthearted game, minecraft will forever be melancholic. It’s also addicting if you’re the kinfd of person who likes consistend upgrades.

personally i can never get into things that want me to grind for the sake of grinding. vanilla minecraft is a no-go, give me automation.

I think minecraft is what it is because of youtube and the creative mode. Survival is the only thing that makes building interesting, but for anything bigger than that you may need creative.
But i enjoy building castles and fortified bases, than you can basically go for adventures without ever strip mining. Villgaer maps, treasure maps and so on. I really don’t care for the end that much. It’s not one game it’s a million different games.

yeah. i don’t enjoy any of the “creative” parts really, i want to make machines. terraria is a lot better at some of the things minecraft deos, but completely ignores others. which is good when you want a compelling game, rather than just a sandbox.
