For the record, Minecraft now has a basic achievement system in place (with not that many achievs so far) that actually does a basic job of telling you how to start. Its a nice bread crumb trail without, so it lets you explore and discover with a goal in mind, rather than telling you exactly what to do like Terraria.Lilani said:In Yahtzee's review of Minecraft, he complained there was no tutorial or helper telling you how to start off (for example, gathering wood to build a workbench so you can build other tools). In Terraria, you start out with the basic gathering tools you need and a helper right there to tell you what you can do and what your basic goals are (for example, how to build houses in such a way so that people like merchants and nurses will move in).
This is pretty much my reason for preferring Terraria, the focus on the combat and exploration more than building. I'm not particularly creative when handed a load of bits I can put together, I never understood Lego or K'nex or how people made that kinda stuff.Lucyfer86 said:Both are very good, but i prefer Minecraft. Terrria gets boring after you've gotten every decent item in game and are just facerolling hordes of monsters, while in Minecraft you can spend hours and hours building almost anything (assuming you like building stuff at all).
Yes, you _can_ build in Terraria but it just doesn't feel the same at 2d.
