Topic: Minecraft Screenshots

Posted under Off Topic

If it upholds to the sites posting standards then I can't think of a reason why not. But ask yourself this first; is it relevant to the site and it's not just another ol' screencap?

They're going to have to be really, really good screenshots.

Else I'll not approve them.

Updated by anonymous

probably not

and if you do, dont get butthurt if they get deleted

as a general rule, if you have to take a picture of something in a game, it doesn't belong here.

if it's absolutely fucking magnificent, then -maybe- it can go here.

also, you have like zero skill with the blocks.

Really not a fan of Minecraft either. It's just so boring. I'm just waiting on the new Devil May Cry so I can rage some more at Ninja Theory for replacing Dante with Edward Cullen.

Damn straight. There no possible way the new DMC can be a good game if Dante's hair isn't white. Real fans only judge franchises by the protagonist's appearance! *high five*

You didn't even pay attention to Edward, did you? Dante from the previous DMCs was a lighthearted jokester, a likeable scamp. From what the trailers for the new DMC have shown, the new "Dante" is an angsty cunt who tries too hard to be a badass tough guy.

You're judging this based off a few seconds of footage for a game that hasn't even been released yet. And you've seen how much dialog so far? Two, three lines? It doesn't matter how the new Dante acts or what he says, the moment you saw the new look:

the new "Dante" is an angsty cunt who tries too hard to be a badass tough guy

this is the conclusion you drew, regardless of how the game actually plays, regardless of how the character acts ingame. That is my problem with all this drama surrounding the new Dante. NO ONE gives a shit about gameplay. The series was getting stale, they decided to give Dante some new aesthetics and darken the tone, and the only thing people care about is his fucking hair.
"True fans will boycott this because of the changes to Dante" I hear a lot. No, true fans will support Capcom for taking a risk with one of their most beloved franchises to keep it fresh. Hey, the game might end up being a pile of shit like Ninja Gaiden 3. Totally possible. But I guarantee that his hairstyle won't be a contributing factor to it. Because games are about gameplay and story. Not fucking hair.

What is it that you do exactly in Minecraft besides stack blocks and punch things? I mean is there a goal or storyline of any kind?

Yes, but to tell you would be spoiling it.

That makes me feel like one of those coffee-sipping artsy hipster elitists. I should just go read poetry to the sound of bongos, or something.

Updated by anonymous

More seriously, while the game has a "goal" and a "story", that's not what the game is "about". It's a game about exploration and risk, and just happens to also have this crafting and building mechanic that can be as addictive as Legos for a lot of people.

Updated by anonymous

Minecraft as a game is rather unfun
I was bored of it before I had even begun
The exploration is dull
Integer(Things worth seeing)= null
And as far as construction goes
Creativity it seems to oppose

Please, i've gotten over the hair a long time ago, and then I saw the trailer where he actually says stuff, and he acts like an asshole. Every other DMC trailer has shown Dante acting cocky except this one. I will continue to hate him unless he changes his tone, but the gameplay and graphics look pretty good so far, so that's a plus. And as for the series getting stale? Fuck that, It seems like the first time every time, except for DMC2, which tried its best, god bless its soul. Hell, we've even got Bayonetta now. This series hasn't gone south yet.

Edit: Hold up, Ninja Gaiden 3 turned out bad?

Haven't played it since United Offensive, so no. Also, fangirl, Ippiki. Remind me to get you some flashcards so you can remember.

I prefer games to tell a story. A damn good story. Minecraft is as far from that ideal as a two-year old palsy patient trying to fingerpaint the Mona Lisa with a pipe wrench.

Wow, I can't believe there's such a big debate over this. I might as well throw in my two cents!

Minecraft is not only a great game, it's an important one. This multi-award winning indie title has had an impact on the entire game industry and continues to push indie developers into the spotlight.
Now, no game is going to be all things to all people. But Minecraft is probably as close as you're ever going to get. It never tries to be anything it isn't, and it never tells you what it is. While there is a goal of sorts, you're expected to pursue or ignore it of your own accord. If you approach this game saying "okay, what am I meant to do now?" you won't get very far. Instead you should be saying "what do I want to do now?" or "hey, where does this go?" or "what happens if I do this?"
Anyone saying the building mechanism doesn't inspire much creativity clearly hasn't been looking at it properly. You're offered tools and little else. It's up to you to put them to use. Things like checking out the wiki for guidence or blindly stumbling to your doom underground are all a part of the experience. You're expected to make mistakes or cheat or to just to piss around with it. This is a game (one of too few in the industry these days) that treats it's players with respect. You set your own goals and work to achieve them, because this is what will ultimately bring you the most satisfaction and achievement. You don't get given free handouts.
But even leaving all that aside, supposing you're just not all that into creative games, or this is more work than you're willing to put into it, you still have to appreciate Minecraft for what it's done to gaming as a whole. It started off as a pet project made by one man, and grew to be one of the most successful games of all time. It's a game that even neurotic parents have looked at and said 'maybe videogames arn't all bad'. Since it's release there's been a massive boom in small developers and people experimenting with games as things other than a simulation for making peoples heads explode.
It's been described as haunting, beautiful, inspiring, mysterious, even spooky. Don't let the bright blocky surface fool you. You're not looking at a Mario-style platformer. This is a work of art.

TLDR?
Love Minecraft, because it loves you. <3

A cocky asshole? Maybe. Sure, yeah I can agree with that. But it's a young Dante. Perhaps he'll go through a character arc throughout the course of the game. You know, grow and mature as crazy shit happens to him. So that's something to hope for.
And as much as I loved DMC4, in the end it failed to surpass it's predecessor and was a letdown to a lot of fans. It was basically the same old song and dance with a fresh coat of paint. It was great, but it had that feel of "been there done that."

Oh and yes, Ninja Gaiden 3 was a poopdick sandwich. Don't even get me started on that pile of suck.

I know it didn't surpass DMC3:SE, but DMC4 was great. Using another character(even though Nero was a bit of a wuss) for the first half of the game was fun, and Dante's mustache wasn't too thick, so that was nice. The graphics were awesome as well. If you want a real letdown, look at MW3. I rape at that game all the time and even I think it's terrible.

And just what about Ninja Gaiden 3 made it so bad? I was going to buy it eventually, but may reconsider.

Gone are the numerous and varied weapons that you can acquire and upgrade
Gone are the sophisticated unlockable combos.
Gone are the interesting and crazy enemies like demons and fiends
Gone are the useable items and collectables
Gone are the dismemberments and over-the-top kills
Gone are the epic boss battles
Gone are the crazy ninpo spells

In place, we have...wait for it...quicktime events.

Maybe Minecraft would be nice if it wasn't all awful, buggy, exploit-ridden spaghetti-code written by as lazy fuck who never fulfilled his promises to the point where he turned his unstable wreck of a cash-cow that should never have reached final release over to another employee who can't possibly fix all his shit right now.

Interaction with the world is shallow, bugs come out more even in bug fix updates, mechanics like villagers are still absolute shit that are outdone by anyone who mods the game i similar ways, the nether is STILL incredibly fucking boring, it has been over a year since we were promised floating island generation, enchanting is still shit, the netcode and prioritization is so awful that PvP has been complete garbage from the moment it was possible because they cannot learn from the Tribes/standard FPS model of prioritizing, combat is incredibly boring and shallow, there are still not enough ores that are not different enoguh fro each other, the "fixes" did not fix enchanting at all, it's been a rip-off of infiniminer and roblox from the start, and I think it's pretty fucking telling that the ghost-TNT graphical glitch in multiplayer went unfixed for
3
FUCKING
YEARS.

Pretty funny how people early on called people who don't like it CoD fans.
Like if you have any standards in PC gaming, you must automatically like a shitty console game? Explain that logic to me.

Is this for real?
You do realize that Minecraft is not intended to be scary, at all, is not scary, at all, has shallow sandbox elements which require a shitload of boring mining to make anything worthwhile that will never look very good because it is made of cubes, and has some of the flimsiest, worst RPG mechanics in a recent game?
Hell, most of it's fanboys don't even call it an RPG, that's ridiculous.

I agree. Fighting over Minecraft is like two dudes fighting over who gets to wear a used condom while they're both boning their quadriplegic mom: even if you win, you still lose.
