My Least Favorite Game

Despite mentioning almost everything this game has to offer in my previous post, I'm still going to tell you why this game is not very good, and possible reiterate a few things that I may have said. Minecraft is pretty much the worst game ever for a number of reasons. The first reason is that there is not very many things that you can do within this game. Yes you can get mods for it to make it better, which almost every person does, but there are only a certain amount of things that you can do in the regular version. Since the last time I have ever played it, there was only one way that you could win. This way was finding your way into the End, and defeating a large dragon within it. After this, you obtain a short dialogue from what seems like the creators of the world. That's it. That's all there is to this game. One short little fight, and then it's over. Tell me that's not boring. You can spend a long time preparing for this, which consists of a lot of grinding for items and experience. This process of grinding is in no way, shape, or form fun. It's tedious, and takes up more time than a game like this should. After the battle and dialogue, you're thrown back into the world from where you came with no objective except for building. Building isn't even fun in the normal adventure mode because you have to repeatedly stop and search for more materials. Another reason that Minecraft is the worst game ever, is the graphics. I mean, sure, it may be an artistic statement, but it doesn't mean that it looks good. You can get texture packs that can remedy this, but that shouldn't be a part of a real game. It should appeal to users with the original textures and items. In fact, there is a whole community of people that create texture packs to try and make the game look better. There is one that I use whenever I'm dumb enough to get on this game. It's called Dokucraft and can make the game look quite nice.

Finally, the last reason that makes this game the worst game ever, is the community. It doesn't have the worst community ever, that title was taken by League, but it still consists of a bunch of 8-12 year olds. These kids are only allowed to play this game because their parents fear that real video games will make them "violent". In reality, this game will make them violent and develop a temper because older people that play this game like to take advantage of them and "troll" them. (Trolling is when you single out a person and harass with a series of annoying actions that ultimately cause people to quit the game.) Not only does the community create a bunch of whiny children, it also gives them the opportunity to swear without their parents finding out, causing chats to be constantly overflowing with words that would cause you to audibly gasp. There are many other things that are wrong with this game, including bugs, frame rate, and monsters that explode and ruin your stuff, but I'm not going to get into that. If you come across this game, try it out for yourself. If you like it, cool, but if you don't like it, then welcome to the club.
