This thread again? i think i saw a thread like this just last month. Oh well, guess i'll contribute:
Minecraft- WHY THE JESUS ON A FLYING STICK INSECT WITH A LAVA LAMP AND A FURBY IS THIS GAME SO POPULAR FFFFFFFF-
sorry.
But seriously..
Minecraft came out twice. Once in 2004 and once in 2005. They were called blockland and roblox.
Blockland had better graphics and better building mechanics than minecraft, and it had physics.
In terms of gameplay.. what gameplay? Build equipment so you can find diamonds which will help you find diamonds to find more diamonds while you're finding diamonds with a diamond cache of diamond furniture and diamond walls and diamond diamonds?
The end boss was put in as a joke. It's only artificially difficult.
To say the game's called minecraft, there's almost no reason to actually go underground to collect anything. There's barely any NPC's and most of the existing ones all work basically the same. The graphics might as well be placeholders that were accidentally left in.
The AI was for a very long time extremely basic, and still is now.
Minecraft also has worse multiplayer because it's slightly harder to connect to servers, since it doesn't have a server browser.
Far cry 3-
I'm not saying that FC3 is terrible, but it's really not revolutionary or that good. It's pretty much average in every way.
The difficulty is a joke, even on hard mode.
The health system that people praise it for just doesn't really work well, since you can just keep patching yourself up and since the enemy's accuracy is so terrible they'll rarely hit you.
The game gets old and boring very quickly. Once you've claimed a few outposts and done a small amount of quests, you've basically done everything in the game.
Each outpost has pretty much the same stuff to do, the challenges are pretty easy, the side quests are awful (and VERY badly animated), and the actual storyline is not really that interesting.
The way the player's character acts isn't good either- one second he's crying all of the time and not wanting to kill anybody, the next second he's mowing down hundreds of pirates in a jeep, burning down weed farms and happily murdering wildlife (but god forbid he actually skins wildlife, that's too far)
Most of the features are pointless too. There's no reason for money since you've basically unlocked everything you ever need a few hours into the game for free, the crafting system is almost completely pointless since you can do the entire game relatively easy without needing to craft any upgrades i.e weapon slots, and since the health system is kind of exploitable, syringes aren't really needed either once you've got your health upgraded a little as well.
