Love the discord!
yeah legends was a good game at first but i have the same opinion as u @TheMisterEpic
themisterepic you are from Australia right?
I bought then game when it came out but my Pc was to bad so i couldnt play until to day and i think i will never play when the Game Shut downs next month and i was so hyped.
The waffle house has found its new host
Mojang has bad communication????!!!! Holy moly! What a surprise
Lol
Who would have thoughts
you're still fuming about the redstone snapshots and I love it

I remember, much like dungeons, I saw it in the launcher, forgot about it, and until this video showed up I had no idea the game existed, released, was played, and died all with me not even hearing about its existence. At least with dungeons I saw gameplay and as a physical arcade game, but legends was nothing more than the little blue thing that flew about the screen at some point.
same about it, it looked something akin to ark, but was not sure whatwasgoing on since no interest
Dungeons is so underrated, it’s actually a lot of fun, especially with friends
@@Luke_Skvwalkersorry mate but even watching rocks is fun with friends. I did not like dungeons
Dungeons was considered a success, it got many active players and a strong community. Also the game was pretty fun.
@@musclechicken9036 yeah, it actually seems fun and got a lot of attention, I was just saying I forgot about both
I think the bggest issue with Mojang is that they think their only customer base are kids. Everything has to be as simplistic and familiy friendly as possible.
But thats simply wrong. The most invested players are those that where kids when Minecraft came out, you know, 10 years ago. They are all in their 20s or even older.
I feel like the idea of children being their main audience has lead to them chasing realism too because they want to sell Minecraft to schools as an educational game for children.
@@invictus_1245i literally once played a coding educational game that had Minecraft in it. It made me play Steve trying to go to this place or activate some stuff through coding
It’s kinda bad
Thats whats ruining the main game too. 0 creativity and just cute challengeless shi being added
Honestly, as a result of Mojang's focus on marketing to kids, I just play modded to the gills and rarely update my install unless a new killer mod comes out that isn't on my current "standing on" version. They won't get more complex themselves? Cool, I've got Apotheosis, Create and like _twelve_ addons for it, Simply Swords, BetterCombat, and Curios. Mojang can keep their patently-pointless mob votes and 'archaeology' that will no doubt make other, more interesting lore theories obsolete.
Fun fact: The highest time played that anyone has played Minecraft legends on steam is 116 hours and there is only one person that has over 100 hours in that game (other than a person that has 3k botted hours)
The next highest playtimes are: 75h, 56h, 53h, 42h, and lower and lower.
Some people literally have more hours in one game than ALL of the people who played minecraft legends combined.
That’s crazy to me….as a kid I probably pumped thousands of hours into Minecraft…I put over 1000 hours onto fallout 4 as a teenager, and ever since 2015 I’ve put roughly 7000 hours on ArmA3 all while having out door hobbies and friends I visit a few times a week. How mojang failed this hard with one of the largest fan bases in gaming, is baffling
I have 135 hours of Minecraft legends on my switch.
Steam?
@@stuglife5514 ..baffling but plausible. If we could make a Minecraft-M.Legends comparison we could say that it's like putting the ocean in a glass.
If you drink it or smell it it tastes like the ocean but it doesn't have the vastness, it doesn't have the waves and you certainly can't be moved by its wonderful panoramic view.
@@stuglife5514who asked
concept for the game was fucking GREAT like legit could have ressurected the rts'ish genre, but how they made it truly was a shot in the wardens layer
yeah i feel like they should have put tnt or more redstone mechanics at least
The rts games that already exist are way to big to need a resurrection honestly, to me the game was pointless like Minecraft earth
Because they treat their games like kids are the only target audience, ignoring most of the fan-base that actually wants a good game to be played for a long amount of time supported with updates, rts players and action-rpg players. Huge mistake. That thing is effectively killing every minecraft spin-off game they make. Minecraft spin-off games will always remain an oversimplified generic game of its genre with "Minecraft" written on the title.
They do something bad and then think adding something in the marketplace will make us all forget about what happened.
The Minecraft legends is actually the blocky version of mobile legend!!!
just wanted to add
The 3 million figures you talked about in the video are not sales, it's just total number of players. Since it's on Gamepass a good chunk of those players came from there.
Afaik almost no Xbox studio publishes sales data anymore
That makes this even worse. Man, Mojang has *SCREWED* up…
imagine if they put all of this time and resource into minecraft over the years instead of another spinoff game @@RevolutionFallsNot saying they haven't put effort into minecraft but it could've been way more lol
Not mojang.. the greedy cows and microsoft
@@RevolutionFalls Yeah, basically just opening the game will count you as a player.
Even if you just got to the main menu and uninstalled it, not really that great of a measure of success
@@ogdeb While Microsoft does own Mojang, not everything can be blamed on them. Microsoft do not influence the game's development at all, they only bought the brand value.
There's many reasons why Minecraft was so successful, like it being an endless sandbox, servers, creativity, mods, nostalgia. You can basically do anything in Minecraft and yes it will eventually become repetitive but we still play Minecraft. Same downfall happened to Mc Dungeons, even tho I still play it.
Only survival is repetitive (and that's if you don't really want to build anything)
It can never become repetitive. Just as it begins to be repetitive, you can do any number of the things you suggested. Play with mods, play on servers, download texture packs, use any number of data packs.
@@anonanonymous9670yeah if you only do what the game directly says you can do like beating the game or getting max gear, it gets repetitive and boring fast
@@Adrian-kb4rg >yeah if you only do what the game directly says you can do like beating the game or getting max gear, it gets repetitive and boring fast
Yeah, that's pretty much what kinda ends up happening, either people focus on mixmax/completing it, or they look at the 10+ year Hardcore worlds, tryhard with Big Plans, then drop it after 5 days and repeat.
B1.8 and it's consequences have been a disaster for Minecraft, one could say :V
Dungeons never fell, everyone loved it until Mojang cut support
I remember buying Legends day one to play with some friends. As soon as we realized that the co-op was so barebones that we couldn't even be on the same team, we just refunded and never looked back
You can be on the same team, just do a normal game, and invite your friend
I haven't played Legends, but based on what I've heard and seen, it makes me miss Minecraft: Story Mode. While it wasn't an open-world game and had limited combat abilities, the player had a bit of freedom to alter the plot's direction and even change the ending, especially with Season 2.
Minecraft Story Mode was super weird to me. It has the Minecraft IP, branding, mobs and blocks, etc., but the gameplay is literally as far from Minecraft as you can get. Instead of an open world with no story where you can do whatever you want, it's a linear story-based "game" where you can only follow a few specific paths. Still more interesting to me than Legends, though.
I loved minecraft story mode so much. Its painfull to see people hating on it nowadays
I played it and it is just very repetitive and just poorly executed. When I drew the line was when I basicly couldn't progress unless I bought a $10 "lost legend" pack that gives you otherwise "locked" content and some items to progress in story mode...
minecraft story mode is basically "what if... minecraft had more focused on story"
and thats why i like it. witherstorm, different dimensions in the portal hallway and something more than just "i guess we have to kill a dragon we never knew about because he spawns endermen in our world that steal blocks"
@@alternateperson1840 that's kind of the point
First it was Minecraft Earth now it's Minecraft Legends 😢. Mojang should really take some drastic measures in development of there games.
Minecraft Earth got shut down because of Covid, they didn't want to encourage people to go outside with other people.
Yeeeah, i also noticed that. Get that BlackBird Interactive go fuck themselfs.
But, keeping in mind that this studio was connecting with community more than Mojang, i think it's actually Mojang's fault
They should just stick to Minecraft
true
Lmao the fact that most of the minecraft community forgot about Dungeons existing also speaks volumes
The game would have fared better as an actual RTS like Supreme Commander mixed with Total War. You start in a village with a village square, build woodcutters and miners who gather a slow trickle of resources, use those to build some basic troops like the plank golems and slowly build your forces while the piglins do the same and send waves of attacks. You're soft-locked from some area's due to high tier enemies, and you expand around slowly growing finding new resources and upgrades, upgrading buildings and technology, finding new golems and building a force of hundreds of units to march over the overworld to face off against the piglin swarm and set up a defensive zone around a portal to let your sappers mine the obsidian blocks instead of having basically any golem just hit it enough to destroy the portal structure giving the game an attack and defence vibe with it because the piglins can bring in another horde of soldiers to try and stop you so you better make sure you're reinforcing your front.
But that's my thoughts on it. I played through the whole game and haven't touched it since, kinda forgot about it honestly that's how forgettable it was.
Wholeheartedly agree. The current game is too simplistic with its gameplay, and would've definitely benefitted from something a little more distanced from regular minecraft with the player. Also, the idea of special sappers to destroy the portals would be a clever way to make it more strategic as you said.
Yeah. I never played legends but as someone who has too many hours in SC2 i could see a mine craft version thereof being fun
And if you are going to have a player avatar, you could go the Factorio route, going to a front when needed, along with the building
I think that recently we have begun to see mojang’s complete disregard for any project that doesnt make them enough money (most likely forced by microsoft) - minecraft now, minecraft earth, minecraft monthly, and of course, minecraft legends. Also apparently they’re already working on another game with the codename ‘spicewood’ but take that with a grain of salt
Missed opportunity to say “a grain of spice” :D
nailed it. none of the devs have any say at what goes on with this game anymore. just greedy execs. Once you take into account all the crazy oppressive regulations to try and make it marketable to babies, it all starts to make sense. Its all about ripping off kids parents.
@mrrooter601 eh that's a reach we don't really know how it is internally of course any game that big is going to have executive meddling but who knows how much devs have input I certainly don't
What
@@no-fd6mt True, but judging by the drastic nature of the executive decisions made as soon as Minecraft/Mojang was purchased by Microsoft and the complete disregard for the community and important aspects of the game, (for example, the outing of C418, an integral staple of the game, replaced with financially controllable creators) it’s safe to say Microsoft can remodel the entire game in any way they want to chase more money.
And if that means marketing to children, which is one of the biggest markets in the gaming/media industry right now, then knowing Microsoft, they’re *definitely* going to do that.
They don’t care if they take away everything that made the game “special”. As long as Microsoft is making more money from this product, they’ll commit to any strategy. They’re a business.
I remember buying Legends the day it came out and after like a month I was only playing it for the monthly rewards then they became to hard so I just quit the game. I feel like Mojang should’ve stuck with Dungeons as their spinoff game cuz at least the levels in that game were somewhat unique
Can't thank you enough for making this video, incredible work! Glad to have helped out. Minecraft Legends has so much potential that Mojang could tap into.
they did you dirty removing your cape
I still play it. The game should add more content after you defeat the Great Hog because the world will become boring. The Piglins still roam the world in small groups but their bases and outpost are empty so the world becomes useless.
But they won't.
Ayy waddup tho, keep up the good work man
@@GondoMan21 Given how often unique cape owners get their accounts stolen, maybe it was lucky
It makes me sad... I can only imagine how discouraging this would be for the creative minds behind the game itself. To see their own creation fail and dwindle into obscurity like this... It sucks. The game has so much potential with just a few tweaks to the core gameplay loop, but it will apparently never see that happen. :(
Mojang and communicating are two things not facing each other.
Remember that for past years all the problems with minecraft were originating from huge lack of communication...
I have noticed a theme that Mojangs failures all come down to communications. I think this may be a result of a developer focused communication strategy and they may need too work with creators or something to develop a better method to be focused on communication
I will only say 3 words
The mob vote
For Minecraft Earth it was also a case of it being a resource heavy app that didn't have much marketability during the pandemic with everyone inside.
@alphabros5226 that is true. I think most AR games were a fad anyways though and most would have died anyways. The only exception being maybe Pokémon Go but I still think it too will fade.
@@Negative_LightPokémon go has faded and came back so many times already
@CollynPlayz valid and I think that will continue if they continue to breath life into the game
Mojang will make whole spinoff games with never seen before content before adding something other than a new wood type and a mob from mob vote to the actual Minecraft
there's probably a lot of bureaucracy when it comes to adding content to the base game.
I've heard Microsoft/Mojang is fearful that by adding too much and changing it too much might end up ruining it, so they don't
they arleadyd did that with the updates of 1.13+ and the addement of the chatbans and skinbans.@@ShadyPaperclips
Their cowerdace, lazieness, and greed have already done a good enough job of that, so, serious question: what is even the risk at this point?
@@ShadyPaperclips It is just an excuse for being lazy.
@@ShadyPaperclipswith how annoyed the players have gotten with how small the “new” content drops mc has gotten, i doubt that
As of January 10, 2024, the Minecraft Legends Twitter account announced that Minecraft:Legends has been discontinued meaning our worst fears have been realized. Back in June of 2023, a dev mentioned that the game had only 6 months of support left (despite the game having come out 3 months prior) and, 6 months later, that time has finally run out. The fact that the game died after only 9 months compared to other spinoffs is kinda sad tbh...
LOOL and they canceled dungeons saying we should "focus on legends content"
@@whentheyD Fr. I just got back into dungeons and I'm super invested again. It's really fun. Very sad they abandoned it
The multiplayer was actually really fun, different from the campaign and as a nice spin on the RTS genre. Though because there was no proper long-term progression, or really a point to play other than well, the gameplay, the fun didn't last that long. There was also a big learning curve between those who didn't understand + make use of the RTS-like mechanics and those who actually did.
We know that Mojang just sucks at communication
No matter the game, they somehow manage to always alienate their playerbase and not communicate properly...
One of the stupidest things I ever heard.
This is a trend at several Microsoft-owned studios...343 Industries has been notorious for their poor communication with players.
Rare seems to have gotten the formula right though, which is part of why Sea of Thieves has done relatively well despite having a rocky launch a few years ago
Then Nether Update and Caves And Cliffs would never exist
Have they commented on the copper bulb changes? I don’t believe so, and the community is in uproar.
What was supposed to be a time of feature development where the voices of the players could be impactfully heard, they’re ignoring all suggestions and frustratingly not explaining why they’re ignoring said changes to the community.
Furthermore, during the entire most recent Minecraft Live, the entire chat was constantly filled with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT #stopthemobvote which Mojang hasn’t commented on once.
The ENTIRE COMMUNITY collectively decided on what they think would be best for the game, and Mojang didn’t even say a word in reply.
This lack of communication is a very common trend among Mojang and the fact that they continue to pump out “interactive community content” on their channels whilst actively ignoring the community, makes me think they’re doing it on purpose.
This is quite disappointing from Mojang in my opinion.
@@MrMelonszthere were rumours that the minecraft live was actually pre-recorded and I actually believe it, because you could see they didn't even read the chat or do any talks or communication with anyone. They were all silent to the viewers. You can guess it in the edited parts of the so-called "live"
bro casually flexed a triple reset and didnt think we'd notice 💀
That's me at 8:24 (Phineapoo1313) playing in that initial release-week tournament. This game had me HOOKED at the get go, for about a week. There was a ton of promise with this game if it was updated regularly. The concerns mentioned in the video were definitely prevalent from day one, and a few of us found some strategies that broke the meta in multiplayer pretty quickly.
Multiplayer was pretty much gonna have be the saving grace for this game. If they were to turn this game around at all, it had to come from reaching out to the community and adding/changing the things that the community was wanting or needing. That meta break I mentioned was brought up, but I didn't end up seeing much of a change to it at all, basically making it another mode with a very repetitive feel. I feel that they probably had about 3 chances to course correct, with at least one of those before release even happened. There was at least some small communication during that first week, but the radio silence afterwards was hard to take on.
I hope that a miracle happens and they can get some of that interest back, even if I don't end up coming back. I worry that this lack of communication or disconnect with the community will infect and kill the other games they make over time, including Minecraft itself.
It's pretty obvious now that "new" Mojang is a sh!t company. Everything they make sucks. Minecraft only survives because it was made by the "old" Mojang and because of the modding community.
If only Notch didn't retire. Or got fired. I don't know.
ain’t no way he hits a casual triple flip reset in rocket league
Finally someone notices my brilliance
That was insane
@@TheMisterEpic lmao, I think I saw you in the rocket league subreddit at some point, didn't know you were a freestyler hahah
Insane how horribly this game failed. Mojang's greed seems to have done it again - this game should have never been created. We could have gotten better updates and more additions to Minecraft, but they don't want to make players happy; they just want money. Absolutely horrifying.
*Microsoft's greed
are they aaa?@@skeleton_master.
After what they have been doing i not going to finashly support anything they make, even when i play Minecraft its old versions
This is made by a completely different team. No money or work that went into this impacted regular Minecraft updates at all.
@@skeleton_master.Stop protecting Mojang man. Even though stuff like the banned words in chat are Microsoft's fault bad updates to Minecraft and Legends are made by Mojang. Also I do not think manpower is an issue for Mojang since they are owned by a billion dollar company.
Just seeing the gameplay, this looks like it could have been a sick competitive tactics game in the line of Starcraft if they went that route with the pvp and had multiple potential objectives at the start of the game. Seeing people develop strategies on the fly and work to build a base and army, protect the objective, and destroy their enemy would have been so cool, but unfortunately, I have a different vision of what the game could be than Mojang did
Wow, just wow. Thanks for telling about the state of this game, I didn't knew it was THIS bad, beyond surface level, that's why I appreciate this video
It’s bad, but this video creator carefully curates where it takes it’s numbers from to sensationalize the issue. It’s a flop but not as bad as this manipulative video portrayed.
@@RayofSunshine5519uhh, it has like 5 players at the moment, I do think that it is a very big flop.
@@RayofSunshine5519 Lmao the copuim is real lol.
Nah bro my singleplayer world has more players than legends 😂
Lmfao
"The modding community is doing Mojang's job"
That applies to regular Minecraft too. What a company...
welcome to moderan gaming
Wrong.
those mods make me want to play the game again. like most other players, i played for about 3 days when it first came out and haven't opened it since and hearing that its getting taken down kinda makes me pity the game and try it out one more time. great video by the way, i learned so much from it. :)
For those who really enjoyed commanding an army while actively fighting in the front. Mount and blade is the best choice currently (for peoples like me) both warband and bannerlord are brilliant masterpiece and barely any repetitive.
shouldve just kept updating dungeons instead of letting it die, dungeons was much better and more fun but just lacked updates
At stores there was so much legends merchandise left on shelves that much of it went on clearance. I didn't even see ads for said merch until way after the game released and I only seen those adverts a few times.
Even Lego has a legends set planned to release in 2024. I can see this set resting on store shelves until it is on clearance.
i bought legends and its honestly pretty good, i jumped back in recently. i think the multiplayer thing could be really fun if i had friends that also had the game.
its sad to see legends die, theyll never add these good features because nobody plays and the seed of doubt has already been planted in peoples minds.
There was lot potential indeed in the game. Only if they could have spoke to the community more, maybe it would had kept its players. Heck they could have give us more ways attack, rather just using boring sword. They could have give us Bow or more weapons to use and give more customization options but nah, they just left the game as soon it got published.
wait, only 8 monts?! i thought it was 8 weeks at best
i stopped playing within 2 hours, the game just had nothing going for it
Man, this game had so much potential, it literally could have been the next Age of Empires if they went with the cultures thing and added more combat mechanics. All they had to do was add more variability in the gameplay and the replayablity would have skyrocketed. But no, it just flatlined right then and there.
Im progressively losing respect for mojang
I really hope this game makes a comeback.
I really liked the game and the new update did make the game more strategic(you cant just rush into the larger bases anymore due to air choppers existing). The game just need more content and an actual post game.
I remember being quite interested when I'd first saw the game, I bought it when it came out and then I think I played for about 30 minutes, (I beat the tutorial and ran around a little bit) and it just felt like I'd played the entire game at that point. Haven't booted it since.
Same, I remember asking my mom to buy me the xbox gamepass just to get the game now it became pointless cuz it felt meh, it was overhyped, never played the game again. It had potential, they blew it. The tutorial I was learning but gave it chance, that chance was a waste.
@@ArtWithMazzyKidsShow I’d recommend Minecraft Dungeons over this game. I recently completed the game, and it’s been a blast.
Maybe a rigged mod vote could fix this?
See, things like these is why the Minecraft community brings up the term "Mojang is lazy." This does not only go with it's main game updates, but also with its spinoffs. Think about how many times a Minecraft spinoff has gone down the drain with little support, lack of content, lack of fun, etc. It's a bigger problem than we realize and because of this, it really makes Mojang's team look like the bad guy here.
Microsoft may be to blame, but it's also the fact that Mojang hasn't said anything about these issues and has left us all in the dark. Mojang may not be lazy, but they do need to communicate a lot more than they do now.
They should go back to updating Minecraft dungeons instead
Well said video. I borrowed the game (deluxe edition in fact) of my local library. I played it, but it was really confusing. In short, it didn't feel Minecraft like, and the mechanics, and gameplay was just too hard for me. I quit within the first 30 minutes. L game in all, I just went to play skyblock.
what a bozo
woah how does the game borrowing work?
It really sounds like a gen z/alpha skill issue. People can't play rts games nowaways and prefer to have their hand held
@@k_otey just go to a library near you (gotta have a card first) and they may have at least 20 different games for each console, but online they have waaayyyy more, minecraft, super smash, etc. Return them in 30 days, if not your get a fine
to be fair though, if your target audience doesn't know how to play the game, you're definitely doing something wrong...@@halqthedarktemplar
I enjoyed Minecraft Legends, but my issue was I was soft locked due to building limitations. Couldn't build anymore until i deleted other buildings or spend hours deleting walls one pillar at a time.
They didn't even mention a build limit, and there's no bypasses for it. Completely ruined the game for me. Haven't played the game since
A building limit in a Minecraft game? That's stupid.
@@EggsBenedict-te4nj it’s not a sandbox like minecraft but still the fact that they don’t mention a build limit until you hit it is just stupid. And deleting walls is more painful than drinking bleach.
@@raghav1026Minecraft doesn't feel the same when it's not a sandbox game tbh.
This was my experience too, the combat is weird and way too repetitive. It was pretty fun to play online with friends for a little, but it took so long to queue since so many players were quitting.
Wait, you are telling me this game was In Development for 5 years, and this was all they had to show for it?
“To destroy the piglins, swipe at them with your sword!”
“To destroy the portal, swipe at it with your sword!”
“To destroy the towers, swipe at them with your sword!”
“To destroy the player experience, abandon this entire project with zero communication established with the community!”
shows how lazy mojang are, notch alone made more than this washed and trash game
Remember this also uses bedrock sprites and engine.
@@Alanboss777 yeah right lets all remember what an incredible hit Scrolls was or the tons of other projects he announced, made a prototype of and then abandoned entirely. People really need to stop giving this guy any credit, 99% of his work had to be rewritten and redesigned because it was dogshit and the parts that haven't are still a festering tumor on Java edition. He made a single good prototype, quickly rushed in some half-baked features that had to be fixed by other people and that's about all he has accomplished.
5 years for the most repetitive and unappealing experience I have ever seen on a Minecraft Spin-Off
The portal destroying base to base reminds me of liberating outpost in far cry series which was repeative in each game but it was a option not a main mission.Also you could do it stealth or not hard or easy difficulty which was much more than in mc legends
I forgot mclee had his cape removed. Removal of it was a poor choice on mojang’s part imo
This was developed over 5 years? 😭😭😭 this is what they could come up with?
Imagine how many new things they could've added to the actual Minecraft instead
@@lonelystarslibrary9326yeah, we waited 11 years for dog armor that doesn't even protect your dog or the fact that we are getting one update a year for some random useless blocks that serves nothing to the game shows how lazy mojang are. We would have probably got some lazy ass features that nobody cares for like yellow cow or another useless wood type in those 5 years
Corporations slow down product development immensely.
Mojang is taking the Bathesda route, pop out a meh game that people care about and let the players fix it up then swoop in and claim credit
When I first saw it, I hoped it was a 4X RTS game, command and conquer style, where you could build things in regular minecraft, then use those buildings as part of your base in this game and train then command big and diverse armies (Archers, swords, spears, catapults, cavalry), that would have been an enjoyable game.
What does RTS mean, whats 4x?
@@ArtWithMazzyKidsShowRTS means Real Time Strategy, which is built around commanding armies into battle. 4x is short for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. 4x strategy games are generally empire simulators.
@@TankHunter678 okay
I dont even remember all the minecraft spin offs at this point anymore. Except for that minecraft story mode game, that was fun. Dont know why they cancelled it.
Telltale games went bankrupt
last night as i comment this, for a brief period of time, Minecraft Legends had the same amount of online players as *Bad Rats: The Rat's Revenge.*
that's... just pathetic.
These comment bots ate ridiculous man. Hope it doesnt affect your channel in a bad way misterepic
I loved the game but I had 2 major problems, the first was that my creeper army got bugged and was stuck in the piglin attacking stage so now I can't use them. Second was the amount of villager attacks.
Defending villages in Minecraft Legends is just Preston notifying you about another settlement that needs your help level of annoyance
The only game that succeeded by Mojang besides Minecraft was Minecraft Dungeons. Sadly they abandoned the game in late 2022
I miss Minecraft Dungeons. It was amazing looking, had cool ideas, and was FUN!
i still actively play dungeons. it was really cheap of them to not inform us that 1.17 was the final update until a full year later. they could still make dlc for it if they wanted. i know they said there wouldn't be any more dlc after echoing void, but hey, wouldn't be the first time mojang went back on their word.
Same thing happened with Minecraft Dungeons, I was one of the first 1,000 downloaders of it and I still play it every once in a while, but despite coming back to the game every few months, I'm getting more and more bored of it. It's super slow on Xbox where I first got it, and there's no way to mod the game, so I downloaded it on PC to see if I could find any mods and there's almost nothing on Curseforge. I still have to play on the lowest graphics settings to stay at over 60 FPS and the gameplay is super buggy and repetitive. I feel like they gave up on Dungeons after the last few DLCs so they could work on Legends, but that was even more of a disappointment. I only played it for about 4 hours but then couldn't play it any more no matter how hard I tried. This video pretty much summed up my and the rest of the community's feelings about the game.
I think the problem is that mojang tries to play things as safe as possible. mentioning the lack of urgency within this game as well as the lack of interesting ideas and content exemplifies that. they've also been doing this with their updates, forcing a mob vote that adds in a creature with a niche use that nobody will remember, and especially in the new update, the dungeons I already forgot the name of. the last time they've added a new weapon was the crossbow, I believe. minecraft would be more interesting if something like a dodge was added, or daggers with a shorter attack cooldown but less range. something that adds to the game in a significant way. they can likely do well if they stop being big corpos and actually listen to player feedback instead of shareholder feedback, but until then, I suppose mods will have to tickle our fancies.
Well actually...
i am just sad dungeons got discontinued, i put a lot of time into that game and i really enjoyed playing minecraft dungeons and its just sad seeing it being replaced my minecraft legends
The main story was short and the side stories were boring and behind a paywall
What does Dungeons have to do with this?
@@marxxplaysgames That fact that they discontinued Dungeons to make an objectively worse game is what Dungeons have to do with it.
@@Key-Knight87 wasn't Dungeons a mid Diablo Clone?
@@marxxplaysgames You could say that but at least it has it's charm
As someone with thousands of hours on the main game. I was excited about this game when it was announced. But I quickly forgot and just couldn't be bothered to get it. I'm sad and happy about that
It flopped so badly that I didn't even know that it flopped. I heard about it releasing, and then that was pretty much it.
I never played this one but I was actually pretty bummed when Minecraft earth shutdown. It was pretty fun to play. I think it just had really bad timing when the whole game was based on being out and about and then covid hit.
They should re-release Minecraft Earth now right since we can all go out, never played Minecraft Earth, was thinking of trying it out but didn't know it was completely shutdown. That's sad
They should've kept updating dungeons which was at least decent unlike MCL
Imagine Minecraft if Notch had kept working on it and never sold Mojang to Microsoft. 😭
That would have been heaven
What? There's still Jeberoni to mess it up
Would be great tbh
Cut content?! Mojang would never!
It's crazy that Blackbird Interactive, a dedicated development studio that made the entire Homeworld series, helped develop Minecraft Legends. Given how successful they were with their previous games and the cut content that one of the devs brought up, I really think Legends could have been an amazing game.
I hope it'll be a No Man's Sky type game and come back later being so much better than launch.
I'm worried that there are core gameplay mechanics which make it so that improving the game would be hard.
@@alphabros5226 Yeah, the weird single attack, lack of movement and command options do make it hard
I feel like it tried being a middle ground between a micro-heavy game like the Homeworld series and a simpler gameplay that's easier for the average player.
It would be an improvement if it went in either direction. Plus, No Man's Sky was deemed 'unredeemable' because of how niche the mechanics were, but it's an amazing game today.
Not surprised to be honest, as soon as I saw what the game looked like, I was immediately uninterested in playing, and then the reviews came out. This game just seems like a cash grab of a game, it’s trying to leach off of the Minecraft title, and thats it.
Legends is fun, I just ended up with a bugged save that reset my progress when I was on the offensive against the Piglins, which really destroyed my enthusiasm to keep playing.
i remember grian promoting this... and thats it. i genuinely haven't thought about minecraft legends once since grian promoted it months ago
I never cared for Minecraft legends, in fact the 2022 Minecraft live discouraged me from playing it, after it took up a majority of the livestream.
honestly, forgot it even exists
One thing I had a problem with the first Minecraft spin-off (Not Story Mode), Dungeons, was that it was heavily anti-Single-Player. I tried it alone myself, and the first real boss, literally killed me within seconds. The worst part was, much like Minecraft, Dungeons had all of its stats in its gear ONLY. Meaning it was hardly worthy of calling it an RPG, since the player character literally has nothing when they have nothing no matter how late game you are.
Coupled with the fact that the game barely teaches you anything, like how to dodge roll, and clear gaps that are required to jump across to get ender eyes/pearls for progressing a part of the game... it was little wonder that I never even bothered to buy Legends.
They say the only thing worse than being hated, is to be forgotten. Well, I did forget this game existed until this video popped up in my feed. Sad times...
To be honest, we all very well knew Minecraft legends would die eventually, I mean it was just bound to happen. However I am very surprised as according to the steam chart, only around 43 people play it. Crazy to think that such a new game died so fast. This is very much why I believe mojang should not make spinoffs, rather just update the vanilla game, and do what is right for the community.
Spinoffs can work well if Mojang licensed the ip out. Story Mode for example, was mainly worked on by a 3rd party dev team
Legends gave me so much hope as an RTS player. I enjoyed the campaign for a day then hopped into multiplayer, excited to see what the pvp was like.
It had a lot of potential, but for a game that forces 4v4 pvp, there were NO ways to communicate with your teammates, making for an insufferable online experience. Combine this with the fact that at any point, one of your teammates could just teleport your entire army away from you (I heard they eventually patched this), it made me quit pretty much instantly after playing a 40 min long really close game just to have that happen to me. There was so much potential, which makes it so sad to see what its ended up like.
Honestly true.. i didnt get bored and finished a whole outpost even at the hardest star... The proble for me was that creepers were insanely op.. u can get like 20-30 creepers and insta kill the portal
for me it was the pressure- i wanted to explore the world, but then i see that i have to defend a village that single moment made me not want to play
Same many things happened at once that I couldn't do much that I wanted.
i got legends after a week of it being out after about a few months it got repetitive and hard so i forgot about it...
The sad part is: Whatever they add into a new failed game -> It won't make it to the actual game because they want "unique ideas" or they fear that the new stuff in the game is the cause of the low popularity (which is also wrong. Many people would love to see some of the things implemented into the vanilla minecraft game).
thats so true wth
WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST ADD THE BIG MUSHROOMS FROM DUNGEONS INTO THE SWAMP UPDATE ON THE VANILLA GAME AAAAA
0:38 Correction: Minecraft Legends was on Gamepass at launch so there being 3 million players at launch doesn’t mean it sold 3 million copies, and the numbers if probably much lower.
this video probly tripled the playercount over the next week
I think had it been $10 it would have been more fit. Dungeons was SO MUCH Better than Legends!
Minecraft spinoffs aren't going anywhere, it was obvious that it was going to die out like minecraft dungeons
Spinoffs aren't really bad idea. Dungeons turned out to be a great and unique game. In some ways even better than Diablo which was inspiration for the game.
@@WaffelKamilatus I actually bought dungeons on launch but found it stale after completing the main objectives and stuff. Don't know if they've added additional content, though
@@Bynax Theyve added a lot of additional content, however it is all through paid dlcs that add roughly 5-10 hours of gameplay depending on prior gear and stuff like that.
Dungeons was pretty successful, though. Infact really fun for what it is. It does get stale after you get to NG+ Apocalypse mode, but the DLC help draw attention. My only complaint is the Battle Pass grind, it takes wayy too long to level up once.
Otherwise Dungeons is pretty solid.
@@Bynax Dungeons on release is nowhere close to how good it is now. You should play it again.
I just realized, mogang doesn't give minecraft huge well thought out updates because they don't make any money from it.
Correct
Nah they are just lazy, if they have the budget to make a 1 hour animation video, why don't they have the budget to work more than 5 minutes a day. All they have is just excuses
I think there still hope for Minecraft Legends, they need influencers to play the game and followers will follow them playing, along with the modding community continuously adding new mods to the game, it will definitely rise up again.
this video increased the average player count by 7%
This is my #2 GOTY (after Terra Nil). But I readily admit that I'm the member of a _very small_ niche that has craved a "first-person RTS" since the Joan of Arc campaign in _AoE2._
This game was never going to be a financial success that justified the _half decade_ of development, so I'm mainly just grateful that the game exists and that the partnership with Mojang was enough to fund BBI as they produce the game that should be my GOTY for 2024: *_Homeworld 3_*
Here's my story. I saw the game come out, was super excited because I grew up with lego battles and loved it.saw the game was quite limited in content, didn't wanna pay full price for it, forgot it existed eventually and never bought it.
Considering the existence of top down 3D games like FATE and Path Of Exile. If this just showed some similar semblance to those games with the Minecraft IP combined with the graphical style it would be a success. In fact I think this is why that initial trailer worked really well but failed apart once everyone saw what the gameplay consisted of.
Thank you for this video, it was very informative and educational!
Keep up the good work!
Main active McL content creator here. I can second most of the video. Except for the first 6 minutes. Issues you were talking about only apply to default and story difficulty modes. On highest difficulty mobs can't really do everything on their own. You need to be inside the battle and support them by knocking back smaller piglins. At the same time, it's much easier to die. On the video you received like 0.5-1 hp per hit while on highest difficulty it's often 3 or more. It's a game of strategy, managing resources, time and even your own health.
Unfortunately, on release you didn't get a choice of difficulty when launching the game for the first time. You had to leave the game and launch it again. And that was a huge mistake because the first launch was often the last one too. Tutorial (ending with destroying the purple portal. Yeah, it was stil just the tutorial) used to be much longer and less dynamic. These 2 things confused people (including you I guess) into thinking that's the actual game and there's nothing more to it. And that's where many negative reviews complaining about stuff that's only in tutorial come from.
As for the myths - Man, they're like an unfunny joke XD Not only are they expesive but also very simple, bugged, short and sometimes even annoying. Confusing RPG, 45-minute platformer, bugged Temple Runner ripoff, confusing and bugged Vampire Survivors ripoff with no items description, chess with bot thinking for 2 minutes. I bought them all and don't recommend anyone to do the same. You could actually buy a good cheap indie game instead of 1 of these.
PvP seems pretty simple because it wasn't even meant to have matchmaking. It was supposed to be friend vs friend only. It doesn't justify the simplicity though. Imo they should've released the game later but make it better at launch.
Comparing the game on release and now, devs made some progess. Tutorial is half as short, much more dynamic and the game overall is not a buggy mess anymore. There's also more content and much more QoL features. But it's not enough. After 2nd major update (a month ago) I started a new campaign and at first I was amazed how much has changed but it didn't last long. Except for lack of severe bugs, the second half of the game is pretty much the same.
Honestly, this game could have been an amazing typical style RTS instead of this weird hybrid thing.
Like...the idea of a Nether invasion is perfect for it.
Just to spitball an idea here, four factions. Villagers, Pillagers, Monsters, Piglins.
Villagers gather and build really fast but they are slow at producing troops because they're all based around Iron Golems. Pillagers, a strong military but crap at gathering resources. Monsters, cheap swarm faction by building dungeons. Nether, have to build portals to slowly generate infinite resources to build your army. You could use designs and mobs from Dungeons to give more troop variety and actually tell a story via cutscenes in-between missions.
The idea of Minecraft RTS has a lot of potential! Sadly this game squandered it and I doubt we'll see another shot at the idea after Legend's abysmal failure
I still think Minecraft legends is good, great story, a lovely new art style, the Combat system is ok, but it could be better, the Exploration is amazing & and I love the Troops, you can make a massive army. It’s a good game with mixed reviews (not all of them are negative)
This is wasted potential of a game
