Does it have good graphics?

Abort! Abort!
Nice with the Hardcore option for the so inclined though

Crunched said:Blizzard... what the hell is that first mod? I've seen other "photorealistic" texture packs, but nothing like that.
Blizzard said:Yup, of course.
OK, so it doesn't have those graphics. It still looks OK though:
That's what I thought at first, but then why include it?SalsaShark said:that's clearly a mockup
Yeah, just some photoshop or whatnot.Crunched said:Blizzard... what the hell is that first mod? I've seen other "photorealistic" texture packs, but nothing like that.
Wow whoever built that must be not only intelligent and compassionate, but good-looking as well. I'd like to meet that fellow!Blizzard said:

Creepers are always a threat, and sometimes dungeons can be frustrating.Kalnos said:Once you get iron armor you're pretty much invincible. The only two real threats at that point are dying to a careless fall and lava.
What texture pack is that?Blizzard said:
Crunched said:Creepers are always a threat, and sometimes dungeons can be frustrating.
"Always a threat" mostly meaning when they sneak up on you.
Or, you do what I do, and you craft iron armor with the intention of exploring but end up building more and ruining your armor with fall damage lolKalnos said:Once you get iron armor you're pretty much invincible. The only two real threats at that point are dying to a careless fall and lava.

I'm not sure. I think it might have been a bundle...there's some nice bundle with water shaders if I recall correctly but I actually haven't tried it myself yet. Anyone know?Gattsu25 said:What texture pack is that?

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: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.

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: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...

Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?
By way of exploring what it means to kill in a video-game, Lose/Lose broaches bigger questions. As technology grows, our understanding of it diminishes, yet, at the same time, it becomes increasingly important in our lives. At what point does our virtual data become as important to us as physical possessions? If we have reached that point already, what real objects do we value less than our data? What implications does trusting something so important to something we understand so poorly have?
SalsaShark said:because your game looks like shmup 101 you stupid IM SO DEEP dev
Pretty much this. I held off on buying it because I didn't think it would be very fun. But after playing on my friend's MP survival server and building an epic mansion/inn with a lava moat to keep the creepers out, I'm totally hooked.xelios 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!
Or when you die, your family is murdered in front of you and you are left to live out the rest of your life knowing that it's your fault for not scaffolding your tower properly.RomanticHeroX said:Final Hardcore: You die in Minecraft, you die in real life
Ranger X 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)
But if he doesn't explain the game's philosophical implications himself it isn't artsy or DEEEEEEPPPPP!SalsaShark said: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.
