For me, the game scores 3 blocks of white wool, 2 rotting meats, and an Enderman pearl. I believe this to be a tough but fair score.

Bahahaha, THIS is release quality?! Oh Notch.

Are the villagers even finished or did he just add that crappy dragon and that boring End dimension and call it a day?

I'm extremely late to the party, but it's time for me to finally buy this before the price goes up.
Also I haven't been following very closely, but isn't there still a lot of work to be done on structures like npc villages and things like that? Personally I don't know enough about the situation, but I can see a lot of people accusing Notch of releasing early just to up the price.

I don't mind the transition to final since they've spent the last 2 weeks killing complex bugs.

And adding in a bunch of simple ones.

But then killing those too.

I think.

(They really NEEDED a time where they stopped adding more shinies and just fixed what they had. They need even more of it to be honest. If it took releasing the final version for them to do that, then fine.)

What someone made after Notch said there would be a sky land
I'm pretty sure the Aether mod a suggestion for Minecraft, then later actually started by modders, then Notch said he was going to make a skyland, and then he made that...

I don't get some of you people... I'd frankly bend over for Notch.. I've been playing for about 10 months now and I still love it just as much as I did when I started.. and I'm glad Mojang are still going to be releasing stuff for it.. :3

I'm getting the feeling that the tradeoff for buying the game when it was cheaper is getting hooked on a game that's very different from the finished product and which I can never go back to now, unless someone who feels similarly and has more Java savvy than me decides to make a mod that basically adds the old "mode" back in as an option (with all the bug fixes and new block types still in place, of course).
The game is not too different from what it was, it's just better. Also, if the "old 'mode'" you mention is Creative Mode without monsters, then you can play that way.

Now whether or not the dozens of new blocks and tools constitute Minecraft 1.0 being twice as good and worth twice as much as it was right before Beta is another story.

Is that a post inside a post?............

ESCAPIST-CEPTION

OT: I will laugh my ass off if Minecraft gets a 8/10. And then the internet will die from all the fanboy hate.

So now that Minecraft is done which one of the Escapist reviewers will actually review it. I mean at this point EVERYONE anywhere near games has bought the thing. ( its a third the price of a AAA title.) I think Susan would probably be best at reviewing it from a unbiased stance. Does anyone else have an opinion on this....?

So now everythings just going to be DLC. well that sucks now we'll actually have to start paying for updates (including possibly the dragon if it isnt available now [I havent kept up on my updates]). Well, guess 1.0 is the most recent my Minecraft game will be.

If you want that 25% discount for purchasing the game during its extended beta
Wait. So i DONT get the game for free as promised for buying the beta? Is no one else upset by this? That's one of the reasons i bought the damn thing early! While it may be a quaint game, your presumed 'popularity' over this game, notch, is making you an ass. first, you take on bethesda by BLATANTLY saying "my games better than yours. so im going to release it on the same day as skyrim." then, in the interview with todd howard, you basically shat your pants in complete fear.so now where do you get off thinking you can screw me over by telling me that your backing out on your word of giving the game to me for free since i bought the beta. Not to mention the blatant rip off of all the modders out there...

I won't be buying this. Plain and simple.

Minecraft is a polarizing game. Some people love the open world, do-what-you-feel-like, creativity. Other people decry it's lack of any real direction. It's a game you either love with all your heart or hate with all of your being, like Napoleon Dynamite. The reviews will reflect this, with some scores being 1/10 and others being 10/10. The fanboys will hoist the 10/10 as proof of it being the greatest game ever, while decrying the 1/10 as people who just didn't "get" it. And the world will keep spinning. Although it will be interesting to see if Notch refers to it "being done" as in he'll release it to the full public or its "done" as in they won't pay attention to it anymore.

No... you already bought it at a 25% discount, remember? The beta version costs 25% less than the "full version", and that's ending by the end of the week.

Take a breath, son.

He's not releasing early nor late. Development of Minecraft is supposed to to continue working the same way. He just picked a semi-arbitrary date to change it into a final version. I think it's better this way, otherwise we'd start thinking the game got stuck into eternal-beta limbo. Aside from the price change and (hopefully) a lot more emphasis on bug-fixes, I expect it to keep evolving at the pace it did so far.

Well that doesn't look very impressive, it's just normal minecraft up in theOHMYGOD FLYING SPACE WHALES AND SHEEP *downloads*

Anyways, the end is not the end of the game, it simply marks the launch of the game, and a modder can get a lot more done when they only have to focus on a mod, whereas Notch & Co have to worry about bug fixes and adding/improving things to the entire game, also, its easy to point out cool mods and say why didn't they do that, it's probably because they didn't think of it
