recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that
not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation
with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~
Don’t hate me but I cannot get into Minecraft. I get so bored running around collecting supplies and building things, it feels like a chore each and every time I try it out.
I enjoy Minecraft, right up until it hits me how isolated I am in that world, then something clicks and I just feel unsettled.
It feels very empty I found. Even with other people. I get the same vibe from other survival games like Conan Exiles.
Just not my bag I guess.
Nah, you’re right. Typically when I play Minecraft, I’ll go hell for leather for maybe an hour. I’ll get through the first few nights, manage to scrape together a perfectly cromulent shelter, start mining like a bastard to find iron and coal, and then get bored and go and do something else because I’ve just used up yet another iron axe and I’ve not got enough material to replace it.
thats pobably why servers with gamemodes exist
I think motivation was something I was having major issues with in minecraft for a while. Exploration is only really interesting if there’s something wildly different far away. That being said, I’ve played more minecraft than I ever have before the last month because of the Vault Hunters mod. It essentially turns the game into a scavenger hunt mixed with a roguelite. You are given 4 items to go collect in the wild which gives you a “key” to enter the vault. The vault gets harder and harder and you’re given better and better items over time. You can use experience (knowledge and skill points) to give yourself passive or active abilities or even permanently increase your movement speed or attack damage. If modded minecraft doesn’t seem like a crazy amount of complicated nonsense to you, I’d highly recommend at least checking it out on youtube to see what it’s all about (though the SMP version is a bit different, so keep that in mind).
