Is Minecraft still a big deal?

>>383524874
Yes but not very relevant to discuss since the most common people who play it are kids these days

>>383524874
>Is it a give deal?
yes
>Is it a big deal to anyone that graduated middle school?
not really, it's still a fun game though

Where's Minecon 2017?!

With children, yes.
Otherwise it's a very small blip on the radar since Mojang and Microsoft are putting in as little effort as possible with content.
Unless said content is for new Meme Mobs to make merchandise out of to print more money, in which case, they'll put in effort out the ass.

Will the SUPER DUPER MEGA "texture pack" come to PC as well or just Xbox one X? I unironically got exited when they announced that even though I don't really play Minecraft anymore.

>>383525702
Of course it's coming to PC. Also it sort of stoked my interest as well.

>mfw I still love the concept behind Minecraft and I could spend hours playing it, but I'm 22 and I know the game is enjoyed almost exclusively by 12 year olds and playing it just feels wrong now

>>383525702
PC has had texture/lighting mods for years

>>383526083
Not official paid ones, though. Remember, they said it mightn't be free.

>>383526083
I'm too stupid/lazy to install/use them. That's why I got exited for the Super pack thing. Managed to install it once but then I updated it and it broke the game so I'd rather just have an official and easy solution.

It's a great timesink if I just want to listen to music and not really care. Also I just got a cpu that can run one of the better shader mods so I'm thinking about getting that soon.

Pretty calming game desu, creative mode is also good for visualizing locations and stuff for the DnD campaigns I'm running.

For example here's a city I'm building to give me an idea where certain buildings are and their general distance from each other in space.

Minecon is always very funny to watch

>tfw wanted to revisit minecraft but the new combat absolutely sucks and all of the new stuff added discourages me

>>383526639
Wouldn't it be easier and faster to draw out your D&D ideas on graph paper from a bird's eye view?

>>383526893
I'm not an artist, I can't draw a straight line or a recognizable landmark if I had a gun to my head and the most advanced tablet ever made. This is a lot easier to make good recognizable buildings and put in details that I'd otherwise forget.

I also can build dungeons and walk them in time with the D&D party so I can drop monsters and have events without too much thought.

play the old versions friend

I have a huge problem with worrying about not getting the best experience possible

>>383525854
thats retarded anon
Just because a majority of a certain age group plays a game doesn't mean you shouldn't
Go on single player or play with friends in a private server
Game is still fun if you avoid the community

>>383527757
beta 1.7. or current 1.7.4 is the best

>>383527757
just install the version where jumping gives you experience points and enchant everything.

>wanting back the old button masher combat

>>383525854
Out of my group of four or five friends that bought Minecraft, only one was under 18 when the first Minecon happened. So obviously the game appeals to a wider audience than just kids. We were just overshadowed by the enthusiasm of the younger players. Which was bound to happen, given the demographic of early adopters (people who are likely to have autistic children).

>>383526639
Is that Recount for Minecraft? Why?

>>383528348
The combat is the exact same. You just have to wait 1 second between swings now so it's incredibly tedious

>>383528558
it was part of the resonance rise modpack my friends and I got when we still played together. I haven't uninstalled it yet because I don't feel like it.

>>383526227
You might legitimately be retarded then, it's literally just unzip and drag. Hell, some launchers don't even require the drag part.

>>383524874
Well it's now a packaged Microsoft product so it's about a toxic as you can imagine

There's Minecraft and then there's Minecraft for Windows, which is some sort of fucked-up version of Minecraft. You can guess which one they're pushing for people to adopt.

>>383528724
I think you missed the lazy part, tardo.

>>383528946
Still fits under the retard umbrella.

>>383528664
at least you can hit multiple enemies with 1 hit

>>383526639
I never would have thought of the DnD idea. I think it brings a wonderful new dimension to the game. Thanks for the idea, damn.

>>383527757
Believe me, pre release versions ARE the best experience possible. This is coming from someone who played the damn thing fron release. Just try it, it'll pay off

>>383528946
"managed to install it once"

you might just be retarded and confusing it for lazyness.

>>383524874
The community went to shit, the combination of the le eceleb youtubers and letting little children play the game without supervision created a very toxic environment.

The game is still good though,

Don't knock the axe mechanic and shields. If someone backported those to 1.7.10, I'd eat it up in a heartbeat. Hell, I've stopped using swords just because of how effective an iron axe can be.

That said, they need to go back to doing weekly/secret updates. There's plenty of stuff to add, and plenty of stuff to build on (Beetroot is by far the worst item in-game, right after the clownfish).

>>383533385
Beetroot is literally only for beetroot soup

>>383534360
And dying, which is also handled by red flowers. It's really redundant. Mushroom stew does the job better.

I would assume so.

>>383525854
Glad to know you don't play game then.

>>383524874
I never got into Minecraft. Played it a few times and it just wasn't fun to me. Give me Roller Coaster Tycoon any day of the week.

> I'm 22 and I know the game is enjoyed almost exclusively by 12 year olds and playing it just feels wrong now

I'm 24. I don't care about the other players age. I mean yeah, they're young, and you'll get that in games. I feel like there's nothing wrong with it. As long as you're having fun is what matters.

Forever stuck replaying 1.7.10 reaching the moon, making a minefactory reloaded laser drill for infinite ores, a base in the moon, mars, asteroids dimension and then automatizing everything to finally make a mass fabricator of ic2 produce infinite mass for every resource renewable.

Yes. My 6-year old son plays it and likes to build villages, and now I play it when he wants me to build villages with him. His neighbors play Minecraft, too, and they are all less than 10-years old. At schools, there are Minecraft comics, books, and toys at Book Fairs. I used to play Minecraft every now and then back when it was catching steam in 2010. When I volunteered for my son's school's Book Fairs a few months back, I could not believe the sheer volume of the Minecraft craze among elementary school students. It's usually the boys, and once they talked about something Minecraft-related, they couldn't shut up about it, the exception being talking about Pokemon.

Anyway anon, yes, it is a big deal, especially among the little ones. It's like Legos.

>>383525854
But 12 year olds are sexy.

>>383542123
there's nothing wrong seeing your little sister or daughter sexy

just don't molest them like in your doujins you pedo fuck

Sure thing buddy

>>383525854
All the 12 year olds are playing the mobile version, I would guess kids don't really play the original pc version.

>>383543179
All the <7 year olds are on mobile. 12 year olds play on the mini game servers like hypixel and the hive.
