You can say about Minecraft what you want but it's a solid game and great for kids' fantasy.

That's pretty impressive. I never had any interest in Minecraft and I doubt I ever will since it's just not my kind of game, but I can see why people love it.

Sure, if you can even compare the two. It's open world... that's literally the only thing I can think of that they share. Of which case Minecraft wins, because, you know, it's infinite.

I have played it and i can agree Shikinami I would not count it as a game so much as a tool to build your own world and the reason it is so popular is you can create what you want.

It does have survival but i am sure most people use it to just build things.Anyhow at its core it is considered a "video game" though i still think it just a program to create your own world and not a traditional game.

Another example would be Visual Novels,they are so far from being an actual game but since they still could fall under the term "video game" it is marked as a game but i do not count them as one.I just see them as story time on steroids.

Video Game

a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or other display screen.

In short pretty much anything that uses a computer or the sorts to display images and lets you push a few buttons falls under that definition.So i could make something with one object on the screen and just use one button to move it and bam it is a game because now the

In the end Mine Craft is classified as a game but i do not see it as one but that does not mean its not one by definition so in the end it is technically a a game.

Yes by definition it is,but just because i do not count some as not being a video game does not mean they are not i was just sharing that i do not think some games are video games.

Video Game
Noun
a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or other display screen.

So pretty much if you make an image and you use the mouse to change the position by that definition it is a video game.So Sim City would fall under that because you're manipulating the images on the screen.

A game is more of something with a story.

Minecraft along with games like Garry's Mod, and countless tycoon games are more considered as "tools" as you technically create your own story and game.

Minecraft is just simply create your own world and that is more on the side of being a "tool" than a game. No story to follow. just building and digging :P

I strongly dispute your argument by just saying that the first video games ever released didn't have any story at all.
I love good stories in gaming, I just want to point out that a game doesn't necessarily has to have a story to be a game.

No. I would never play it. Do I have to play every game that I don't want to play before finding out if I actually want to play it? xD Anyway, I've seen gameplay videos of it with many mods and maps.

Of course you don’t have to play it. Also you don't have to like it - without even playing it, it’s a respectable opinion/fact. But saying that it is not a video game without playing it, that is oblivious to the fact that the “creative” mode is only a …mode (as the word is indicating) and not the default game. How popular is this mode doesn’t change the fact that Minecraft is still a game and this is a mode of it.

The game has combat that requires a degree of skill, with consequences for failure, a progression system and an endgame with a big baddy. While it's not the main draw of the game, I would still call it a game based on that.

I bought 5 copies for PC when Notch launched first alpha version. One copy cost 10$ at that time and Notch was talking about selling downloadable content in the future but those with alpha accounts would have all additional content for free. That of course never happened and those plans were erased by presence of mods on PC. One I redemeed and rest gave away to my friends. Last year I bought another three copies for PS3, PS4 and PSVita. They were for the price of one so good deal ;)

I see that most people here are very strongly against Minecraft, but personally I love it and I've played it more than any other game. If I had to guess how much I've played it, it's probably been between 2,000-3,000 hours, which breaks down to about 200 hours in vanilla, 600 in mod packs, and 1,200+ in various servers.

Man, when it was in alpha I would get stoned and play for hours. Always got lost too, until I started leaving a trail of torches. The mods like FTB and Tekkit add a ton of depth, but man what a timesink.

I think it's a good game and deserves it. I played the crap out of some Minecraft back when it was in beta with a couple of friends. We didn't build anything as fancy as some of the stuff I've seen. We started out living in a hole we dug out of the side of a mountain, but eventually built a castle, a tree fortress, a snow/ice castle and setup a rail network to travel between them and all of our mining sites. When the official 1.0 release came out, we decided to start over, but it just didn't have the same feel to it. I think part of it was that we started out in a crappy place and part was just starting over with nothing and no desire to rebuild what we had. It's a totally different game now than it was back in the beta and early 1.0 days.

I bought another copy for my niece when she wanted to play it. She doesn't like survival and I don't like creative. I like to build things, but I like the challenge of survival and building. She's built some pretty impressive stuff though in creative. I suppose it's this generation's LEGOS. When I was a kid, I played with LEGOS, but back then they came in boxes of just build pieces. They would sometimes come with an idea book showing you some things that could be built with that set, but no instructions, you used your imagination to build what you want. Now they're glorified model kits.
