Subject: I miss those Minecraft feels...

Man, remember when Minecraft wasn't all about go kill this dragon, survive, don't starve, Medieval adventure quest game? When every 12-year old, youtube commentator, and all their grandmothers didn't play it? When it was about exploring, building, creating, and finding things out about this mysterious world that you're all alone in?

Man, those were the times. That atmosphere gave me them Minecraft feels. I don't feel those feels andymore. What happened Minecraft? What happened to the feels?

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

I dunno, but playing Minecraft just doesn't feel quite the same as when I first got it :c

It's still tons of fun to play though!

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

Don't know what you're talking about tbh, the only material complaint I see is you don't like hunger

yup

We should all play some minecraft together, you know, or nostalgia, and stuff

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I can explore, create, and do other things in survival...

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHROME.

I hate that they added creative mode. Completely takes away from it, that's all my friends want to play, I hate it.

Adding game modes never detracts from a game.

The atmosphere is ruined. The gameplay isn't the same anymore.

Remember after you just built your house and it's night time, or you're exploring the ground, or it's sunrise or something and hearing one of these?

You mean the new game high?

The game lost its aura because you already learned its ins and outs, it's super easy, and there aren't any surprises anymore. It happens.

Tell that to Reach.

I got tired of it when the server I played on was taken down. Singleplayer was pretty boring.

That explains how it felt the same from start of indev or alpha or whichever, all the way to 1.8, the beta version where Minecraft started going downhill.

I played Reach's campaign once and never touched the multiplayer so I don't know what you're referring to, but I doubt you'll change my mind.

Or everything from 1.8.1 and on for both the PC and 360 made the game a complete pain in the ass and not as fun.

1.7.3 was the last good update and if they had fixed the bugs in it, then the game would've been perfect for release. All they do now is just add a bunch of half-assed pre-existing mods to the game like the NPC villages and ruin the game with more complexity. It's simple game design and essence of just regular survival and building was what made it good, the whole RPG approach ruins the game.

The game still has building houses, nighttime, exploring the ground, sunrise, and music.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

mysterious world that you're all alone in?


You could just play by yourself.

  • 11.25.2012 7:16 PM PDT

Lurking since 2009

I agree with you OP, minecraft doesn't have the same feel anymore.

It also has hunger, alchemy, enchanting, NPC trading, curing zombie villagers with emeralds, wasted potential on strongholds, -blam!- end-boss, end-world, etc. etc.

You can choose to not generate villages/strongholds. You can choose to not use beds/enchanting. Adding these features doesn't take away anything away from the game. The terrain generation update of 1.8.1 was iffy, but still.

Oh, and there is still MC Nostalgia if you really want to back to older versions.

P.S. Rose colored glasses, they distort the way you think about games.

And starvation and Endermen and complexity and millions of different blocks rather than simpleness (Three colors of wooden planks? Is that really needed?) and useless animals and NPC's and functions and the game is just bad now.

I haven't played it since an update or two after the game was officially released and I've kind of popped in on it here and there. It isn't recognizable anymore.

Crappy terrain generator still exists, enchanting being added caused a major nerf specifically on iron but also on diamond, and I can't play with my friends on PC or 360 with an older version.

*scoots in closer*

I hate you

I got bored of it, I wish they give us a pre 1.8 version for us to play too.

The game isn't ruined just because there's more content now.
Think alchemy and enchanting are dumb? Don't use them.
Don't like the end boss? Don't fight it.

None of these things have any impact whatsoever on any of the old content, it's all still there.
