Minecraft is officially out + something else

Minecraft related:

it's doing pretty well with its reviews, scored a 96/100 on Metacritic so far, eventhough, I don't see how someone can review a game like Minecraft, it's difficult to explain why, but yeah.

cool. congrats notch.

I honestly don't think Minecraft deserves a 96/100 though, that's a bit too high.

also, the ending to Minecraft is weird as hell, I don't really get it either, it's like 10 minutes of some wierd horseshit text.

[SPOILERS AHEAD… kinda]

oh and Minecraft 360 is shaping up pretty well, I know most people here will think it's shit, but I know I'm gonna enjoy it. it's also been said that the 360 version will get something special that the PC version doesn't have and that it will not be inferior to the PC version. I hope that's not a lie.

Game Dev related:

also, random screens, of a mystery game I'm making. More on it soon. I'll let you know that it'll be a story-driven rpg, somewhat inspired by fallout while adding some unique flavors to it.

Game pics:

I will still be working on TWE though, this game is just slight a mental brake from TWE. It'll only be a small project that'll be released soon. I've been coding non-stop for this game and it's shaping up to be the first game I'll complete in over 5 or 6 years, since I started TWE.

well, that's all I wanted to share.

I really don't see anything new added to the official release, which is disappointing and there's still bugs.

I wish they didn't do the whole prerelease thing, it would've been some good surprises if they kept it secret and revealed it when they finally released the game.

I am interested in seeing what they have planned for future updates though.

I forgot how good new aeronesia looks

also I'm excited to play the XBLA version of minecraft, the awkward beta period for the computer really made it hard for me to get into it

Which is why I think one definitive XBOX version of minecraft will be a welcome change

xbl minecraft doesn't really need a tutorial, by the time it is released, every man, woman and child on the planet will have played it.

they probably should make a tutorial, just in case.

people always tend to have really stupid reasons to hate on a game. if they don't have a tutorial, new players will complain about it and say they don't like it, because they don't know how to play it.

i'm looking forward to Minecraft on the 360, because I've been telling some of my friends that it's a good game for a while now, but they haven't had a chance to play it yet. now they finally have a chance to see why i love the game.

also, i hope the xbox version gets support and is updated frequently like the pc version.

if they don't update the xbox version very often, i probably won't be playing it too much.

i say this becuase, the xbox version is a very old build of minecraft, it's a build before the adventure update, which is pretty lame. hope they have it up to date soon, i don't want to play an old ass build of the game when it comes out in 2012.

Seriously, the entire notion of an ending, especially the way it has been presented, is preposterous and somehow takes away from the game.

looks crummy.
