Minecraft is Overrated

This topic is so 2011

Anyone solved it already?

I hate minecraft, it's just crap imho. It's just a matter of taste i think.

While the fact that all those youtubers you pointed out are annoying as fuck you call that a reason for the game being shitty. Minecraft is a game not about getting tools and having a diamond pickaxe, but about building contructions, hence the redstone and pistons.

The fact that minecraft has modding capabilities is obviously also pretty good.

Your argumentation seems to be more "I played it for 100 hours now it's boring -> the game is bad".

Although, having a server with friends and non retarded people is a big plus point when it comes to replayability, especially if you put mods like Tekkit onto it. Just the fact that you can have programable turtles is enough reason for me to say it has infinite possiblities. Just think of it. You could use hundreds of turtles for so many purposes. I see not why minecraft is bad ,especially because I only payed 10€ for it.

About the youtube part: true, I love seeing kids spamming forums with their channels, thinking they're going to be the next big thing just because they upload Minecraft and Call of Duty videos, but that's not the game's fault.
The game is tons of fun if you play it with friends, not with random kids, and the point of the game is exploring and surviving, looking for materials to build your stuff. It's not the same starting creative mode to build what you want than looking for those materials yourself. And sure, once you have tons of stuff and you don't need to look for anything else I'm sure it will get boring, but I'm sure that won't happen in 10 hours into the game.
Also, it's not overrated, it was a great hit when it came out, and the boom of indie games is in part thanks to that.

I'm with you bro, minecraft is the most overrated game ever.

And your opinion about whether a game is good or not matters to others because...?

It is. Even if I still play it (maybe twice a month) must say I'm soooo tired fo this game on YouTube.. Ok, it can be, but why every ,,well known" channel featured to me is about minecraft? ;/ thats annoying, cuz people cand find more interresting channels... more ambitious.
Cheerz.

i agree minecraft sucks it is the game with no goal and no ending :| f*ck this! why someone want to play it more then once i don`t understand...

Two years ago, I played it really often and I enjoyed it, but now I barely even touch it. I'd only play it when it's heavily nodded, like Tekkit for example.

And what you said about YouTube is more than right. Everyone wants to make a let's play (I don't even get the sense of watching LPs at all, except for getting an impression of what the game is like when you think about buying it). Here in Germany, every 12 year old is watching Gronkh (a German LPer who became famous for his MC LPs. You even hear about him while taking the bus. And I can't stand that.

Why does people making videos about a game make the game any less enjoyable?

Minecraft is still a thing? I though people had moved on to Happy Wheels.

Facepalm

I never saw the appeal myself. I've got friends who love it, and they let me jump into an empty world and work, and they get confused when I don't know what to do. I mean, I know what to do. Dig a cave, build a workbench, craft stuff, build things, etc. Then what? I dunno, I guess I need clear(er) objectives. (Yet I enter every Garry's Mod giveaway I see. I dunno, I just think it will be more fun even though I know it's fundamentally the same thing.)

One of the best games I ever touched. I played with some friends hundreds of hours on our own server. Now I dont play it anymore cause it is boring after some time, but still one of the best games I have ever played!

To each his own. I've spent many hours in Minecraft since its release and I still play it now. I don't see myself growing tired of it any time soon.

According to that logic every game is overrated because there is always someone who didn't enjoy it.
As for youtubers, there are still people who like to watch minecraft videos and many youtubers who made mc vids in the past get tons of "more minecraft" comments (those who decide not to make any more mc vids often lose subs because of it). One youtuber I used to watch decided to make a new channel just to get rid of the "mincrafters" as he said that he does not enjoy making mc vids anymore and he only wants to keep the subscribers who enjoy watching him playing things he considers enjoyable.

Minecraft is very much what you make of it. It's not that it's overrated, it's that Minecraft is a very personal experience to play. Everyone who enjoys it tends to get something different out of it. If you don't like it, it's just not for you.

Terraria FTW?

It's clear to see the original poster lacks any creativity whatsoever and his only true argument are games that pretty much tell him what he needs to do like PayDay. Borderlands. Super Meat Boy. Don't Starve......which clearly just says he has a lazy mind and doesnt like creating his own fun simple as that but this argument can go on forever not only on this game but also games such as Monster Hunter or even Garry's Mod for example some people love it others hate it....I for one enjoy games that let you create pretty much w/e the hell you want

i was thinking of buying...

should i? i cant really decide since there are tons of people with different opinions

I agree, Minecraft is overrated. And boring... all I ever manage to do is craft a giant phallic object then get bored.

It's fun and relaxing. Ratings don't affect that at all for me.

Minecraft bored me after 1 week, you want to get diamonds! Gets diamonds ... What now?
