We never really stop playing this game, we just take long breaks...
>>8054869The feature bloat and "adventure" stuff really took away from the core survival experience. Having an endgame or boss battles was never the point near the beginning, and that was important to the feel of the games progression. The survival sandbox gameplay was carried on the weight of the atmosphere of that world. The texture work was reminiscent of that era of RPG that inspired the game, from Dwarf Fortress, to Ultima, to Might & Magic, or Daggerfall. But unlike those games, filled with NPCs, monsters to slay, and quests to complete, minecraft was a mostly empty world. The music complemented this stark difference between those action packed titles and this never ending sandbox where the only spelled out goal was to survive. It was a collection of slow, somber, electronic tunes that created a contemplative mood reminiscent of artists like Aphex Twin or Brian Eno. That atmosphere felt lonely and isolating and that made the things you populated the world with feel important, and the steps toward survival feel like real achievements. Now you can come across prebuilt structures all the time and if you don't feel like mining you never really have to, and sure you have a food bar but that is totally pointless because you never run out of easy ways to get food.
Survival is the definition of bloat in the current direction the game has taken and the action RPG mechanics added are lackluster compared to the mods people have made for the game while also taking away from the atmosphere of the earlier stages. Minecraft is a case study in less being more and the potential pitfalls of an endless development cycle, as well as the danger posed by acquisition by major corporations and the passing of development work from one person/group to another. The most positive spin I could put on it is that it is like a collaborative work of art that has had additions to it over the years and though those additions are not always ideal the old versions are always available to enjoy, along with an active modding community that makes ever new version into a million different games that are a unique expression of those individuals visions for what the game could be. There will never be another game quite like it, that's for sure.
>>8057531>Survival is the definition of bloat in the current direction the game has taken and the action RPG mechanics added are lackluster compared to the mods people have made for the gameThose are also good points, over the years there's been a few really standout modpacks, in amongst the countless hundreds/thousands of otherwise very samey modpacks released for various versions of MC; modpacks like Tekkit Lite and Attack Of The B-Team come to mind for example, that not only didn't feel like a large bunch of different plugins all tacked together simply to add bulk content for the sake of adding more content, but which actually complemented, and then expanded upon, the basic gameplay design in a way that was both very clever and engaging and yet somehow didn't fall into the same bloated trap mojang/microsoft have slowly steered the game.
Minecraft sucked ever since Microsoft got their sticky little fingers onto it, then it got worse by removing every single mention of Notch ever, then it got worse by Pewdiepie making it trending again, then it got even worse by Mojang not giving a shit. This used to be my favourite game and I'd talk nonstop about it and play it every single day, now I barely even want to think about it.Also, here's a wallpaper I made.

Anything that gives off Witchy vibes. Whether it's dark, somber, happy, or lewd. Regular 2D art, 3D art, anime, cosplay, etc... No AI shit though. Ideally 16:9, but phone wallpapers are also accepted.Last thread: >>7979383
>>8038614How did you do that? I've been wanting to do that for two pictures I have but the backgrounds/areas with ringing are a lot of shading/gradient so it isn't as simple as "draw over it all with one colour".
more?
