Why do people hate minecraft?

Answer 1

- minecraft's retro graphics are lazily done, kept programmer art rather than hiring a good artist and giving minecraft it's own style. Provides various examples of games with retro graphics like minecraft that look better.

- Sound is average, nothing bad.

- Good, simple controls

- Combat is extremely simple, easy, and boring. No attack animations from enemies, weak pathfinding (example trying to walk through walls to get to you) Only thing you can do is crit, sprint, or regularly attack.

- NPC villagers are completely useless. Do not respond to attacks, do not respond to you taking down their house, do not respond to nearby mobs, do not respond to anything. So why are they even in the game if we can't do anything with them?

- Notch promised many features but failed to deliver.

- Put of adding a modding API so Notch could make more money, updates in the last few months were just stolen mods. Wolves, pistons, etc.

- Provides example of game-breaking glitch (diamond block duping).

- Not many minerals, easy to get diamond within an hour of playing.

- Abrupt and ugly biome transitions.

- Strongholds are boring and barren, treasure chests contain items that are much more easily obtained on your own or useless items. an example is cocoa beans, which make cookies but they're useless because you can just use other food items.

- Poison foods don't make sense, you can still heal even if they are "poisonous". No reason to have poisonous foods if they heal you anyway.

- Final boss is only difficult because of it's high health and it's regenerating health towers. Tedious rather than challenging.

- NO appeal in multiplayer, far more entertaining multiplayer games.

- Game loses appeal quickly.

- Any website that gives MC 10/10 should not be trusted, because there are obvious problems.

- Notch makes poll asking if people would come to minecon if it was $90, everyone says no and he ups the price to $140. What?

- People only want to play scrolls because notch made it, game is not original at all.

- Supports Yogscast criticizing Notch, from his twitter claims.

- Mojang team are hypocrites, also curse in front of children vs yogscast.

- Could have been great game, special and unique gear, NPCs you can communicate with, all sorts of directions mc could have gone. Instead it went in multiple directions in a step or two, never really committing.

- All notch's games based on previously existing games, did very little to innovate games. Yet he won an award for it.

- Notes that minecraft is 1.0, RELEASE VERSION.

- Overall, can't recommend minecraft to anyone for $30, $15, not even for $6.99 on the app store. Not even for free.

- 2.25/10 score
