Minecraft is Overrated

It created a new genre, that alone should be enough.

I agree.....

Oh, okay.

Minecraft's true gift is not in its mining and crafting aspects, but rather:
"Can I do this?"

Minecraft is about attempting the impossible, no matter how improbable, building the most interesting and creative things you can. Of course, this does not excuse it flaws, but it makes for some insight on why it is such a phenomenon.

I, however, hate it. My little sister loves it, though, so I let her play through my account.

It's the video game equivalent of building with lego bricks IRL. The point of the game is not 'progressing' up to diamond tools, it's about expressing your creativity.

In terms of youtube and random multiplayer servers though, you're probably right.

still expensive after so many years, yes.

not worth playing unless you have mods, yes. (base game content sucks)

not worth playing without friends, yes.

yep overrated.

I like games with guidance and narrative. Minecraft is almost too open ended and I feel the same way about Terraria. I want games to tell me a story or at least have some sort of purpose.

I agree, I originally bought it in Alpha, when it was remotely enjoyable, and perhaps that was due to playing it with friends, but now.. I just get so bored with it, plus, there is so much stuff they could add to make it fun but they just don't.

Most overrated game ever, and only loved by Children.

So your waste your time writing about how it is not the kind of game you like? You are just as bad as those Youtubers.

Minecraft was neat when it was new and in alpha, I have fond memories of constructing amazing mining complexes with my fellow grognards. Those days have passed.

pimmel is underrated

• It gets boring if you only play creative mode

• After 100 hours of survival, it also gets boring unless you have friends to play with and a server to play on

• Single-player is AGONIZINGLY BORING!

• Bukkit server with plugins make it more interesting like McMMO and others

+1 So much

Hidden Giveaway is well Hidden

Honestly I found minecraft to be extremely boring with mods.. and even modern minecraft (being someone who started playing at the beginning of alpha) (go ahead call me a hipster). I enjoyed it a lot more then than I do now.. I actually see it as over-complicated and boring now.. Plus years of running a server kills it for you.

Personally I can't stand Strawberries. Hairy bloodclots that snails crap on.

Minecraft is the kind of game that is completely based on the mindset of the user. Personally, I never play online, nor do I play the adventure mode, but have spent hundreds of hours building cool things in creative mode. On the contrary, I know some people that only play adventure mode and are not interested in being creative at all. I would say it is a blank canvas of a game where you get out of it what you take in. There is fun to be had, but only within certain spheres.

That being said, I fail to see why there are so many youtube channels where people are doing nothing interesting, the online community is mostly garbage, and I find it unbearable without graphic mods.

''Minecraft is overrated'' Says the guy with 1000+ hours on TF2

I'm a big RPG gamer, and because of that find Terraria to be way more fun, original and inventive.

I love Minecraft. Minecraft is a one of a kind sandbox game that, based on your imagination, may never end...

I also think it's extremely boring

I enjoyed it right up until 1.8 Beta.

Then to now, I absolutely despise it.

I like it because it's like legos. Only without the possibility of accidentally leaving a piece on the floor and stepping on it when you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
