Holy shit, I'm so not using that option. I just don't want to lose everything, I can't. Call me whatever you want, but I like the stuff that takes me so long to build.

I'm not much of a builder, but I'll keep a 'main world' with all good stuff and then do new worlds for the hardcore, which would be more about survival and exploration. The initial struggle was always my favorite part in Minecraft anyway, and HC should make it all the more exciting.

Too hardcore for me, lol. But a cool option

OK, so it doesn't have those graphics. It still looks OK though:
The thing is, a Minecraft with voxels or some such would be cool. It would be easy on the art side to make the high-resolution assets if you keep it as blocky. Only the shaders would be really realistic. That would be fun I think. Imagine cubic blocks of leaves, but realistically rendered. It would still be just a cube, but a cube made of a bunch of realistic leaves packed together

He could call it Amir0x mode.

How can you die in Minecraft? When I played it was just empty.

That entirely misses the point of permadeath in roguelikes. If anything, Minecraft already had an option such as this, as there was no real respawn system.
It's kinda dumb, but there's not reason NOT to have it, I guess

No, it's more like:
"Minecraft? Is there fun to be had here and a demo to show the survival mode off?"
*Googles*
Nope.avi and the "demo" there is nothing more than a sandbox build mode that gets old fast even in multiplayer. I really don't see the appeal. Maybe if it had a functionality similar to LittleBigPlanet where physics were involved, but it's just multiplayer Legos with a game-y "levitation" ability of removing blocks below one and having that block above it stay in the air.
Are you referring to the full game or the old classic creative mode? Yes, the old multiplayer creative mode is like multiplayer legos, but it's one of the nicest ones around.TheSeks said:
There might be a demo eventually. There was a free weekend a while back, I believe. And there should be tons and tons of youtube videos so you can get an idea if you'd hate the game or not.

You've clearly never been deep within the bowels of a cave system, low on torches and wood and high on diamonds, attempting to find your way back to the surface to construct your epic equipment, only to hear that goddamn hissing somewhere in the unfamiliar darkness...

IMO this is the problem with trying to explain Minecraft to people. There are so many nuances that make the game what it is that the only way to truly understand it is to play it yourself. Anyone who tries the old shitty creative mode (or even the new awesome creative mode) without ever trying survival is cheating themselves of one of the best games ever made.Jintor said:
World deletion is too much for me. You don't get attached to or invest much time in the worlds of old school roguelikes vs actually spending a lot of time shaping Minecraft's, remembering landmarks etc. World of difference. Still, I suppose it's a good option for the masochists. Have fun!

Final Hardcore: You die in Minecraft, you die in real life
SalsaShark said:
You needed better graphics or different gameplay to understand the message??
This game was an experimental game, totally artistic stuff. I don't think they claim they are deep or anything. There often is contests or themed game making the indy and amateur industry and I think this is great. That's how great ideas are discovered and mentalities can evolve / change to the contrary of "fast food gaming" Activision, EA and such publishers are pushing. (not that it's not possible there's a great new idea in a AAA game but you know what I mean)

Im all about indie games and new ideas, you can check by post/threads i made, but the way he tries to explain what's he trying to do goes way beyond what the game actually does. Let it speak for itself.
What im saying by "because your game looks like.." is cause he asked why we shoot stuff as soon as we begin the game, and its because of tradition, it has no deeper meaning than that. Game looks like Galaga so you start shooting stuff like Galaga.
There is a survival mode Minecraft demo now.TheSeks said:

Yep, this is my new preferred way of playing Minecraft in single player. I'll save the huge castles and forts and towers and super projects for Neocraft, the online GAF Minecraft server (and creative mode). But single player, I'm going hardcore all the way. In the 1.9 patch there will be a scoring system even added alongside with hardcore mode. With Minecraft, starting new worlds and exploring them was always the most fun for me. Now, I'll have a regular reason to start new worlds. Because I'll have to!!!
That's changing fast. The poisonous spiders down in abandoned mineshafts are deadly. When they come after you alongside creepers with skeleton archers plinking away at you, yeah, the dangers have been ramped up. And the void fog down at the deepest depths makes mining down there extremely deadly. I expect to die often. Can't freakin wait!!!
