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.

:OOO

Re: Minecraft Is Overrated.

I don't care if people play it a lot, but I don't like it when people say it has infinite possibilities. It doesn't. It's a building game.

Minetest is alright but it has much different crafting, less players, less support, more bugs, and a completely different idea of monsters. Just because it's open source doesn't mean it's better, by any means.

Also minetest is a complete ripoff.

How can it be a ripoff if it's free?

Re: Minecraft Is Overrated.

Minecraft IS actually overrated. I bought it when it was on INDEV (Before the alpha) in late 2009. It isn't that great.

true.
As I have proved already, less than 2-3 percent of American children. That has to be less than  1 percent of the world population. Also, I think it's unfair to say that 4.5 million players is overrated, as you have already claimed dissatisfaction with WoW, it has over 12 million subscribers.

Re: Minecraft Is Overrated.

So, being a past minecrafter hater, I know that 95% of the 5% people who don't like minecraft haven't played it before.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Gah! I thought I already settled this! Minecraft players are the 5%, in fact they are even
less than 5%!

Re: Minecraft Is Overrated.

minecraft isn't too bad, but It's overrated.  The fans get on my nerves.
I like terraria myself, however people can't seem to like it and minecraft at the same time.
They always say BUT IT'S 3D!
Umm... a game can be 3d and still be really bad.
