Who here has played it, is it good? i remember enjoying Minecraft when it first came out but i got bored of it, maybe this would reignite that creative fire, idk. They're havin' a black friday sale until Dec. 1 so I'm trying to figure out if I wanna play.

minecraft isnt a mmo, mmo kind of implies centralized servers with no local backups

my first impressions

the good:
its free
movement and combat feels really fluid
it's not coded in java
easy character customization is pretty cool
chat works well

the bad:
microtransaction stuff
cant play it on any other OS but windows so your mac friends are fukt

i'll try it more tomorrow i'm gonna go play some smash brothers

It's been a game by many definitions for an extremely long time.

Minecraft is the world's greatest example of the idea that following Best Programming Practices and being a big pedantic nerd should be secondary to making a fun and engaging game with whatever tools you can best apply to the job.

Agreed.

I see this one going the same way as Starforge and Cubeworld and the rest of the forgotten pseudo minecrafts.
