Such a great game, such potential, and such simplicity. Minecraft is one of the few great games out there. One where you decide what happens. You see, there are a lot of games with fancy graphics, and violence, but honestly, Minecraft completely, and utterly destroys them. Minecraft is made so perfectly, in that while its graphics are not eight bit, its textures are. It really gives you the impression of being in a pixel-ated world, without the stress of moving, or seeing in pixels.
I say, Minecraft has perhaps what is the largest gain to loss ratio, cash-wise. The point here not being how much money Notch (Markus Persson) is making, but rather how easy it was to code Minecraft. It just goes to show, you don't need high tech, expensive game making software to make a good game, you just need an idea, determination, and support. Those were the ingredients to Minecraft, those are the ingredients to any success.
All in all, Minecraft really can't be topped. Minecraft has eight people working on it EIGHT, not one hundred and fifty, not fifty, not twenty five, eight. Eight people who have ideas, determination, and support. Sure there are a few dumb things in Minecraft, sure there are a few flaws, but hey, no game is perfect. The best thing about this game is how it is practically infinite. Sure there is a finite number of patterns, but the number for this is so big, it probably isn't registered yet. This is the beauty of Minecraft.
Don't worry, in the next posts, I won't be so sappy.
