Title: Minecraft for 360
Post by: matt on May 13, 2012, 01:44:55 pm

Did anyone pick this up last week? I'm really tempted mainly for multiplayer building and fun. I've played it a bit on PC but it doesn't run good on my machine so I've never really stuck with it. Always had fun tho.

I haven't picked it up, but I'm tempted.

I bought it for the PC and I think I played it three times at most. I was never able to get a hang of how you created things so the fact that the 360 Version is dumbed down might make me interested again but then I always hated playing with legos growing up so I still don't think I would enjoy it.

I never "got" Minecraft, it just seems boring to me... Even after playing it I just couldn't get into it whatsoever.

I'm tempted, but you should know that multiplayer ONLY WORKS WITH HD TVs. 

In case you haven't heard, a few folks were tiffed at this because it was not clear at all before purchase that high-def was required for multiplayer play.  Some folks got refunds, some didn't and were pissed.

I haven't tried it on PC yet, but maybe with console play it'll work better for me.  We'll see.

I actually have the one for PC and it's an excellent relaxation thing.

Considered getting it for 360 for the multiplayer, but really hate spending $20 again. We'll see.

Matt's tried to get me to play Minecraft forever now. I don't understand it at all.

Minecraft makes me feel sick. :(

Half-Life 2 does this too so I wonder what causes it.

My friend tried to get me to play Minecraft forever and when I finally tried it the game quickly became one of my favourites.  I have been playing it non-stop for a few weeks now.

Does it happen on all FPS or just those? It's not completely unheard of, it's basically motion sickness. Amongst the first few people who tried Descent, for example, a lot of them couldn't even play it at all.

I'm thinking that's probably what makes it hard for me as well.  I'm terrible at FPSes due to easily becoming disoriented in those games, and it does give me a motion sick feeling as well.
