Hey, don't hate what you don't know.  And even if you could play Classic, that's like centuries outdated.  It's boring.  Not even close to MC.

I don't hate MineCraft, I hate the fanboys. Which is the reason I'm in that 5%. You people will never make me play MC though. (I hate playing games on the computer) Acually, I just hate fanboys of anything. Mostly the Sonic and Spyro ones.

I'm not a huge fan of it either but I know for a fact that it does not control 95% of kids. Maybe 30%.

This. Although lots of people I know have heard of it, close to none play it and nobody I know is 'controlled' by it. I just use it as a timekiller during hours I've grown bored of other things.

Probably less than 10% of kids are 'controlled' by it. This is probably too high of a number but I think 30% of kids actually have the game.

I still doubt 30% of kids have it that means about 1/3 kids have it.

Re: Minecraft Is Overrated.

In my opinion I find minecraft pretty boring, but that's probably because I like the adventuring side of games and fighting monsters or building a defensible fort against hordes of monsters, however the monster AI in minecraft isn't really that good and neither is the combat mechanics, so I can't really do any those things

Re: Minecraft Is Overrated.

You don't have to like it. It's your opinion. I'd like to see at least one reason why, though. Anyways, I'm not some random flamer who goes OMG I HATEZ U CUZ U NO LIEK MINECRAFT. So... yeah. Minecraft isn't for everyone, I suppose, although I would personally recommend it.

You know, this was a very rude post.  Nothing new?  Excuse me, have you seen how many updates MC has had in it's history?  If not, click here to see.
And Minecraft is a sandbox game.  So if you get bored playing one way, you can start playing totally differently and UN-BORING YOURSELF.

and please. i wasn't attacking anyone.

i just said my opinion. my opinion is that minecraft sucks. nothing can change it.

it was Minecraft fans who attacked me. I'm not troll or anything, just to make it clear. I don't even want to fight!

Lol because "Minecraft Sucks" with no explanation is TOTALLY not trolling.

About 4.5 million people have bought the game. According to childstats.gov, there are about 72.1 million children in the US alone. That calculates to about 5 percent. BUT, also remember that many adults also play the game and also it is made in Sweden for an international audience, so probably only about 2-3% of American children actually play it.
Therefore, the "it controls 95% of people" argument is in fact JUST the opposite.

Also, how many games similar to Minecraft are actually POPULAR? Some random people can make a 3D world with blocky graphics but if nobody uses it then that argument is invalid.

Re: Minecraft Is Overrated.

Minecraft was based of Infiminer, Notch used to work on Wurm online and he took some ideas from that with him to build this new game. He saw that everyone else was making the game wrong, and saw the way how to make it right, he built minecraft with an idea in mind of a game which nobody's fully made yet. Anyone else who made a game like it only really ever got to the creative, minecraft has 170+ crafting recipes and 300+ items, minecraft isn't purely original, but most games aren't.
