    The problem with RUclips is channels like this spend weeks or maybe months editing and creating high quality content like this. Yet make less money for it than someone who screams at video games for 15 minutes.

      sigh
      This is such a common opinion and I just don't get it. Yeah, the world isn't fair. That's not a problem with RUclips. If people are watching 15 minutes of screaming it's gonna generate ad revenue. Sorry if I sound a bit condescending.

      @@brazgazz the problem is it's really hard to get figures for tetris, because it's a pretty old game and there are so many clones of it. Official numbers range from 170 million to 500 million +. Wikipedia has minecraft beating the official sales of tetris. If you included all the tetris knockoffs and unlicensed reboots it would probably beat minecraft but that's kind of unfair since that's basically comparing a franchise to one game.

  • @hudrowportnof4058

    I love minecraft for it's exploration. Running around the world seeing gigantic mountains, forests divided by grasslands where sheep and cows live, great lakes hidden by high hills, the giant tree standing on top of a majestic hill. Experiencing the joy of discovering those set of unique blocks is the main reason I play minecraft. Even though they're only blocks there's a certain charm to them and the random generation that few games can match.
    Hopefully games like No Man's Sky can give me the same kind of experience (if not better). But until then Minecraft will still be my go to game for exploration.

    • @hudrowportnof4058
      @hudrowportnof4058 7 лет назад +8

      sadly yes. The performance problems on PC alone was bad enough, the gameplay loop they had was even worse.
      Ultimately they simply couldn't make most of their planets interesting and unique enough (especially in the starting areas). Everything was so bland and washed out without any detail so everything ended up looking similar only with different colors.
      oh well. At least now we have Astroneer. Not exactly an exploration game but it does No Man's Sky survival gameplay a LOT better.

    Buddy tells me to install a game called Minecraft and I'm thinking "but dude the graphics are shit" (plus i think it was classified as indie and indie games on the 360 were....well hit or miss.)
    But I installed it and played the tutorial world. Still remember I was eating pizza and just sitting there building the shittiest wooden house asking my dad if i could buy it.
    I miss that. I've rediscovered Minecraft in a way because of a new friend of mine and she loves it so we play the shit out of it. And Minecraft is still fun.
    8 years of playing Minecraft...and I along with millions of others who have been playing for longer, are still having fun. Minecraft will never die. Maybe get less popular. But it will never die. It has gone down as one of the greatest games ever made next to...fuckin Witcher 3, doom 93, halo CE, etc. Which is funny to think about but hey...just proves you don't need billions of dollars to make a game franchise. Just one good idea and a bit of passion.
    (Minecraft now is...a bit more about money but meh the core idea is still there lol)

I remember getting it for pocket editoin and a month later, xbox, just after its release for the console. I still play the game to this very day, and occasionaly ill go back to my xbox 360, plug it in and see where i started from. From a giant dirt and sand blob to a huge city i have seen years go by from this game. From 4 to 11 minecraft has, and always will hold a special place in my heart.

    I think that two massive contributors to Minecraft’s success are its open alpha and beta getting frequent and substantive updates, as well as extreme moddability. There’s a mod for everything from larger chests, to more animals, to flying boats, to dinosaurs, to space travel, and for most of these there are multiple options.
