The Harsh Coziness of Winter Levels
Переглядів 37311 місяців тому
Winter levels, or world, or areas in games can often have two very conflicting feelings to them, sometimes they are these harsh, windy, frostbitten experiences - but sometimes they are cosy, safe, warm places that just give you some space to relax after a brutal stage. I like to think that while these two feelings are polar opposites, they can actually come together quite well, and highlight ea...
What Defines an Indie Game?

Platforming Bliss! - Super Mario Bros. Wonder (Review)
Переглядів 166Рік тому
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is one of the best Mario games to date, and is probably my personal favourite 2D instalments. The reason for this is fairly simple; Love, passion and care was put into the game every step of the way. So, let's take a look as to why that is, focusing on the different gameplay and mechanics at play, the visuals and sound, and the passion that went into each level. Timesta...

    I think the golden age just depends on when you started playing and what you were doing. I used to play on a cracked Minecraft server called Canadian Killer Craft. It had factions and the power struggle was real. I was in a faction called Amity and I just remember building a whole community with members of the faction. Thinking about the simplicity of the game and the time digging, surviving, hiding, looting, battling, and building on the server is my golden age.

    Im gonna have to disagree. Everything will get boring after a while, its just a fact of life. Minecraft has to adapt they don't really have a choice or they will fade into obscurity. However, I do agree that the game has become to "progression based" over time. You always want the next best item, I feel like mojang needs to add more items that improve the deepness of the sandbox aspect without over complicating the game to the casual player.

    For me, Minecraft is ultimately a sandbox. As much as I like to see the big gamechanging updates, its nice to get updates that add to the volume of things to play around with. The huge palate we have makes so many awesome builds possible, and honestly I cant think of a single thing they've added that has detracted from the overall experience (phantoms being an exception.) I think that we're getting to the point where the devs are focused on expanding the world and making it feel alive, rather than messing with parts of the core gameplay loop.

    I exclusively play 1.12 for the biome customization (e.g. infinite oceans with sparse islands). I feel like given the subject matter it's worth noting that *for me* Minecraft peaked at 1.12. I'll never understand why they removed the in-depth World customization. I definitely want to play the current version (whatever that is, 1.21 or something) but I want a pc that can handle shaders that really do the new terrain generation justice.

    I realized what I don't like about the modden minecraft. It's the lack of choice. Nowdays, there is mandatory and rigid progression to the game. And before, if you wanted any complex progression, you could download a mod. In this way, the game was more of an engine, a framework, where you could run your own adventures with the themes of your choosing. Want magic? Have magic. Want tech? Have tech. Want explotation? Have exploration. Want horror? Have horror. You did not just build in game, you could build the game. Then, they added more content, they added the standard of what should and shouldn't be in the game, and sometimes, how exactly it should be in the game. Funnily enough, my very first disappointment was when they have added bees, because that killed the mod "forestry", one of the older mods, exactly in the way they now have limited everything else. By making it a part of the game, they have removed the choice. And the mods became less of "what do you want to do?" and more of "how do you want to achieve the same goal over and over again?". Also, it seems that every player has their own "cutoff point", where the game becomes too complex and/or streamlined.

    The real update that started turning Minecraft from a sandbox to an RPG was 1.19. Everything that update and onwards you are forced to play the new *and sometimes old* content one way. Each new item has one use and one way of obtaining. Even copper, added 1.17, has two ways of obtaining and around 3 uses. I don't mind hunger, the new textures or even modern combat, what I do mind is breaking things that have existed harmlessly for years and only adding sidequests.

    Remember when Minecraft(DOT)Net was simply designed, and laid out to where you could find the “download the game” button stupid easily? You could change your skin on that site. Activate minecon capes. And the Launcher was just there to download the new version, and tell you about the updates? When the updates that were more sporadic, yet full of lore meaningful content? When the community was excited to see the game change, and not dreading what auto-farm was being nerfed, or what disappointing mob was voted into the game. Good times.

    Honestly, I don't really agree with the game being that much more linear. Is it a bit more pushy? Yea, it isn't as hands free as it used to be, but there's really nothing stopping you from dodging the push. Like, it is still a sandbox at heart and there isn't anything stopping you from doing whatever you want. Like for example, I've had a little world for a few months now that I play every now and then. I've yet to even enter the nether even though I could just go mining, get diamons and get obsidian in like maybe an hour. Last time I played, I just fished for like 2 hours straight ffs! I feel like the idea of the game having you get/do all this stuff early on is more of a thing the community has kinda gaslit themselves into as the time has gone on and the players have simply become much more skillful.
