i think minecraft is a game where if you play it single player, you almost need to have an objective in mind at all times. i haven't played it since late beta really but doing neat thing with how lava would illuminate an area and using the fact that monsters don't (wouldn't?) spawn on half heights was something i liked to mess around with. it doesn't work the way it used to anymore, and i haven't been able to find any other weird things that interest me so i've never been able to get back into it.

I really just think Minecraft being slow and open is what kills it for me. I absolutely love Terraria, which is really similar but you hit milestones way faster and the combat is more plentiful and exciting.

That is the least I want out of a game

I had a lot of fun with Terraria, I'm still amazed that they're adding content years after dude said he was done with it lol

There is though, you need to get the shot to kill the ender dragon so you can start the game and get the big wings to fly around with fireworks farms. Gotta work your way there building other crap along the way.

Terraria is a better battle game but not as good for playing Legos. Only cool part is luring in villagers to live in your paper towns and making an underground railway.

Minecraft is cool when you play on a server with a buncha other goons and you all build stuff and look at each other's stuff.

Was GTA5 the final major game release with widespread locations having lines of people waiting until midnight for a physical copy?

No. Last time I picked up a game at a retail store at midnight it was Mario Odyssey. I showed up a bit after midnight and the line was already almost through so I just walked in and got my copy. No clue how long the line was before but there clearly was something of one.

I've never vibed with games about crafting or farming, because I try to avoid that poo poo in games where its a gate in the way of me getting swords that make numbers go up and hitting skeletons with said swords. gently caress Bloodstained's stupid little recipe quest forever.

Ostensibly a cosmetic choice, it would allow you easily lap all the other cars

sewer levels are so funny. everyone hates them, the devs know that, but they're like "I'm gonna be the one, I'm gonna make the fun one that everybody likes." and you just end up raising and lowering water levels in monotonous dark green hallways like the rest and it sucks

The point in Metal Gear Solid 2 where you watch a cutscene of Snake just mowing down dozens of mooks without ever reloading his gun, then looks dead-rear end into the camera and points at the bandana he's wearing and smugly says "infinite ammo." (because the bandana was an unlockable infinite ammo cheat in MGS1) is the defining moment of video games. I think about that scene more than I think about any other moment in a video game.

It also established that Snake saved Meryl without having to directly tell you.
