RE: Minecraft
I've been criticized for this on many forums already, but I think Minecraft overall is not a good game.
I'll go in depth about the modes it offers (maybe there's more I don't know about, doesn't really matter for my point)
Survival:
Calling Minecraft a survival game is wrong. There's hardly any challenge. It's not hard. Actually, I've never even seen someone die because a monster. Usually people get lost, fall in lava, or do something else that will lead to a tragic accident. But calling this game a survival game is very far off and disgraces the survival genre. It's not remotely scary, either. The most scary thing about the game is the terrible graphics, which some people call charming. That's alright, can't really argue with that, but it would be way scarier if it was a bit more realistic and if the AI wasn't so stupid.
Casual/creation:
The game also advertises itself because the creation mode (or peaceful mode) and its endless possibilites to build, build, build. It's like a very huge Legoes box.
I loved Legoes when I was young, and this game is nothing like it. The building process is slow and tedious (even something simple like making a bridge takes way longer than it should be) and because the building blocks are so clunky, you have to waste a LOT of time to make something with a nice amount of precision. I think all this time would've been better spent in a real 2D/3D graphing program. Heck, who am I kidding. Even Microsoft freaking Paint looks better than Minecraft.
Survival multiplayer:
This is the only mode that can save this game, and I kinda get why people play this mode. Watching each other get brutally murdered by a derpy skeleton is fun and always will be fun. But there's so many better options out there. For the same price as Minecraft, you could have bought Left 4 Dead or Killing Floor, two excellent multiplayer survival horror games with good graphics, good AI and actually innovative, original, not tedious gameplay.

C/Ped from the forum.
If you are confused on how to get 1.8 to work, download the link I previously posted.
(window's tutorial)
1. hit the Start button in the bottom left corner of your screen
2. search "Run" and open
3. type in "%appdata%" (without the quotation marks)
4. go to folder ".minecraft" and open
5. open the "bin" folder
6. open Minecraft (game) and launch it (so it goes to the main menu where you select single player/multi player/etc.)
7. go back to the "bin" folder and delete the minecraft.jar folder
8. access the previously downloaded file, and move it into the "bin" folder
9. go back to Minecraft and hit single player, the screen should go black and the game should close
10. open and launch Minecraft again
11. ?
12. profit

RE: Minecraft
This is a good summary of what's there i believe.
Anyway, I will hopefully be getting Minecraft soon, while it's still in beta, but for now I've been playing Classic and WOM and its still pretty fun. I love playing CTF on classic mode.

RE: Minecraft
If anyone already downloaded the 1.8 pre-release, there is a new one that Jeb released earlier today. 1.8 pre-release 2.
Same way to download as last time. Let me know if the link doesn't work. I just c/p'd it from the forum.

RE: Minecraft
1.8 PR2 nothing new was added. It's just a few bug fixes. The real 1.8 should be released by the end of this week with almost every bug and glitch fixed.
