Luke Dunstan Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I've read up about it and watched videos, and still don't see the appeal. Basically you sink many, many hours of time into it, and at the end you've got a character with fewer possessions and skills than you have in real life. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Muel Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 It costs money though. Is there a demo? If so I'll give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 You can get it for free on many torrent sites/usenet feeds but to be honest Terraria is much more entertaining, especially on multiplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Minecraft can get really boring really quick if you don't play multiplayer. It's an amazing game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 PC magazine put a demo out, multiplayer is definitely where it shines, but you can definitely get down in single player. The sinking hours into it thing can be applied to pretty much any game, my mate's made £30 after people paid him to give them a shit ton of 'decent items', he just got a list of what they wanted, made up a price, got their details + saves, went into his modded .jar, used TooManyItems to get all the stuff they wanted in about 10 clicks, and then give them back their saves with a load of diamonds, gold, etc. Made about £30 for literally 10 minutes work, I'm fair tempted to do it myself but it's such little effort I almost feel bad. I've got Terraria as well, but I'm getting bored with having gotten no decent items for ages and networking problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Dirt 3 = pure win Really? I'm really struggling to get into it. The first one was great but this one seems very dumbed down, to the point where the game explains the options on the main menu and won't let you skip the explanation. Are people really that stupid they can't work out what the writing is anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo-SL Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Why does everyone get so excited about minecraft? It looks like a game from the 80's. I think it's because it's so simple, it's okay for something to do on a rainy day but I get bored easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_4 I don't care much for video games, Halo being one of the few exceptions. If this is true, then YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 You're excited about a game that is projected to come out in Q4 2012? Well, I thought Halo was going to be over, so the fact that it's not is YES. Even if I do have to wait over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Still didn't get Minecraft, was bored, got the demo, now I understand Minecraft. It's like brakeless trials, it's shit on paper but oh so amazing in practice. My plan is to dig a huge mine, and on top of it, a castle. Might look into place it online soon. Might even pay for it. Any of you guys play it much? Pity it isn't on Steam. Edited August 8, 2011 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I can imagine. I want help building my castle, it's taking forever. I found one incredibly gay thing. I went for a sleep in my bed, when I woke up a zombie was next to me and killed me before I could get my sword out, now I'm stuck outside at night with no weapons, and it's too dark to see anything so I can't find my way back. Saved it, will sort it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwarf Shortage Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Need some decent PC games, preferably something fps, rpg or sandbox, price and spec req. don't matter much, GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Crysis and Crysis Warhead are a must IMO. I just got Crysis 2, undecided as to whether I would recommend. It's good, but the gameplay is not for me. Has this rediculously annoying lag that modern FPS games seem to have on the mouse movements to smooth them out. That and the way the guy moves makes me feel like I'm playing underwater. It's like BFBC2, but worse. Also, everyone raved about the amazing graphics, couldn't be more "Meh" to me. I was impressed in Crysis with being able to see hundreds of trees several miles away, but in Crysis 2 everything feels way too close for my liking. It's just all very "Consoleish", but I guess that's the point. Edited August 25, 2011 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Warhead, got a little bored of it quite quick, haven't even bothered reinstalling it since I wiped my drive. Didn't like Crysis 2 that much when I played a bit on console either. Last game I properly enjoyed was Fallout 3*, I loved the combination of FPS and RPG elements, so something along those lines. I also love the sort of mage/warrior/ranger type RPGs, but never got properly into them so don't know which are good and which aren't. *tried New Vegas and didn't like it Edited August 25, 2011 by Dwarf Shortage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
