    og-sg.net: As of today I have created my own server called OGSG where I plan to revive all of the OG minecraft gamemodes. And we have just released survival games, heavily inspired by MCSG, with no kits or pay2win elements.
    Check us out! Server ip is og-sg.net
    So what do you guys think of modern day hunger games? Be sure to let me know in the comments and subscribe

    What I miss the most is the OG MCSG. I would play that for hours way back in the day. My favorite part of that sever was the huge maps with 48+ players! I wish those large MCSG maps came back.

      Yea, large scale hunger games were always a lot of fun, especially before players got really good at pvp and it felt like an adventure exploring the maps.

      Averi Davis On bedrock if there’s no cheater then it’s gotta have pc players, playing on pc is just technically hacking due to some advantages you have rather than a mobile player who hardly could rotate their screen and often when pvp just somehow open the chest and died or screen issues that make their game uncontrollably rotating around like crazy, it’s just bad anyway

  • @kat_objects6682
    @kat_objects6682 4 роки тому +169

    how it could be helped
    1. no kits. kits were a mistake. we do not look back on kits or abilities
    2. longer games with more players per game. the fun i found personally in hg was how it lasted a while and hunger was an actual problem that you could die from
    3. some new maps. the variede and classic maps, while being really great, are ancient and some new maps would be needed alongside them
    4. bounties/sponsors. a points system where you can spend your points to put a point bounty on someone/give them food or arrows, nothing major just small things that wouldn't give an unfair advantage while benefiting them. and bounties would be someone gets more points for killing them
    5. teams not being bannable. during quarantine i have played A LOT of hg servers and most of them ban teams where most of the friends i made on mcsg were from us teaming and that was the best part
    6. no fishing rods. i just hate fishing rods they are THE WORST
    those are just my thoughts, however and it probably couldn't happen

    imo the charm of sg is that chests are random and you actually dont know what you’re gonna get but with crates and kits - kits literally give you a set of items, and the crates on mc central are ugh, you’re almost guaranteed to get a diamond helmet and some iron armor pieces if you have them maxed out, it’s honestly unfair for the new players who are actually trying for the first time, it’s honestly just odd

    i remember my first Hunger Game, it was actually right after i watched the first movie for the first time, i called up my friend and went over to her place. She had a computer and a laptop so we joined a server together and tried it out, me and her both lasted until the very end so we both split the loot to be fair, walked to opposite sides of the cornucopia and then it was just us fighting until i won. Pistons pushed us up, some players got stuck just like you said, chests were in trees and small made caves, hidden areas, giant trees with ladders going up, and the map we had had a whole castle ruined a far ways from the start so getting there was already daring, and it had a giant ass broken bridge that you had to get around or jump through, with small parkour stuff in the middle for those wanting to get the loot and get around the water faster if you could complete it, I've actually been thinking of playing it again but i joined a server a few months ago and those kits and shit were there and i didn't understand so i tried a different server, same thing. Typed in Original Hunger Games Server into google, and not a single one. Im not saying there were none but i couldn't play any of them because it wasn't in English, or there were only 5 people on the whole server so theres no point. I miss it, i actually crave to play it

    Nowadays, the last good SG server is The Hive... its so sad to see such a great game fall to pieces like this. The Hive has a really popular Bedrock server with a great SG experience. The sheer polish really gives off a unique experience. However, its sadly the least played game on the server, barely reaching 1k worldwide players. I just wish The Hive added more regions to their Java server. If that was to be added, I bet The Hive would get more players.

      Wow I remember that! I never watched his videos but I remember when "bacca's" were a controversial topic on the MCSG forums. There used to be so many complaints about large teams of "bacca's" that were practically impossible to beat because anybody that wore the skin would team up in the lobby. I used to joke with others that they were free kills because often times they weren't very good at pvp or dealt with serious lag. Beating large teams of "bacca's" was one of the most rewarding things you could do in the early days of MCSG. You just opened a huge hole of MCSG nostalgia that I had forgotten about.

      It wasn't even fortnite's fault. MCSG died because of UHC, namely Badlion's UHC (which the creator of this video should have mentioned), cheaters, and the fact that after playing SG for enough time, it just gets boring. The game is the same thing every time and obviously something that's been around for 8 years won't be as popular as it was when it came out. Hunger Games was already pretty much dead by the time Fortnite's Battle Royale came out in September 2017.

    Great video once again MisterEpic. I like both Hive and Mineplex Survival Games. I like Hive's for the reasons you listed above (with the exception of ping, I have decent ping for being in NA) I used to like Mineplex's Survival Games, as everyone does not spawn with armor (unlike Hypixel), I also like how Mineplex allows us to grind on our favorite games for gems, and use those gems we have garnered from those games and using them on Survival Games, whereas with Hypixel, there a separate coins for each gamemode; However, Mineplex's downfall is its abysmal anti-cheat.

    I remember playing on a small server that ran custom maps with pre-set loot per chest. Incredible map design with the ability to plan out routes for grabbing loot based on your spawn and cornucopia chances? Amazing. There was also a pre-game warmup parkour/pvp area with full iron gear only. That was my OG survival games experience.

    I know im quite late with this comment but this popped up in my recommended today and I just gotta say, this was a really well put together video, I dont think ive actually sat through an entire minecraft video on youtube in a while until today
    I agree with pretty much everything you said- the entire concept of "minecraft survival games" is a washed shadow of its former self. I've been involved with the SG community on various servers over the years (mainly badlion back in the day, and mccentral) but i honestly dont ever see it going back to how it used to be. There's no real one central server anymore for SG like there used to be with MCGamer (MCSG), and that definitely impacts the game's popularity when there's so many options available, and a lot of them are sub-par and have a lot of unsolved issues as you pointed out.
    There is a server out right now called backplay and it's as close to the original MCSG as you'll get- in fact, it's pretty much a full remake of the server, the way I see it. However it's more of an extremely competitive community, and that isnt a bad thing, but it isn't all about the adventurous feel anymore, it's pretty sweaty and can get toxic (that goes for all gamemodes nowadays tbh). Honestly, I dont think that "adventurous feel" will ever return to SG, the gamemode is just too old and we've all grown so accustomed to it over the years. But the server is pretty fun if you're into that competitive aspect, they have both an EU and NA servers but there usually arent many people on NA
    There's also a pretty big scene at the moment for SG clanwars- another extremely competitive scene, and something that i dont think would really fit the nostalgic vibe that the casual players want back.
    It was pretty cool seeing you play on mccentral, as that's been my main server since 2013 and I'm actually a mod and upload SG content on there, posting highlights or talking about the server's problems. I think MCC has been overlooked for a very long time in the general community up until recently, and I see a lot of new players coming to play SG on here because there's no other options available. MCC got some attention when JustAHotDog and Madmaker7 made roast videos on there a few years back, but besides those tiny bursts of attention, i feel like MCC has been a very secluded part of the general community for a long time and has a lot of untold history to it. I can definitely say that I fully agree with a lot of your criticisms of the server and I can definitely say that I've been making attempts at pushing for changes for years on certain things (example: the broken enchanting/anvil system) but only time will tell if anything actually happens. Personally I dont feel like the tier chests you can start with are that overpowered, as they're available to everyone and you only need to play for like a week or two to unlock them, but the abilities are really broken (specifically the double damage one)
    I also just watched your recent video on mineplex and corruption and i can definitely say you'll get bigger if you continue to put out content like this, liked + subbed

  • @PikminWarrior454
    @PikminWarrior454 4 роки тому +1

    By far my favorite server to play this on was called Project X-Craft. Instead of custom maps, it had standard randomly generated Minecraft worlds, different for each game. Blocks were breakable and you could mine for materials and collect food as normal, or steal it from other players. Kits were there but they consisted of basic things like stone tools, wood, a fishing rod, or a bow, so they were less about breaking the game and more about adapting to the map (you were free to run around and scout the map while waiting for the game to start). Loot chests were randomly placed and extremely rare, but rewarding. There could be up to 99 players, teaming and backstabbing were completely allowed and encouraged, games could go on for almost an hour, and it was a completely unique experience that could only take place in Minecraft.

    You also mentioned how easy it is to find chests in newer games, which you're definitely right about! I hadn't noticed it before. When I was younger I used to regard the non-Vareide maps as inferior, but I thought it was because I was good at them. Looking back, at least the first four maps had much better chest placement, not to mention they had character to them. In my opinion, kits and paywalls weighed the gamemode down the most. I used to be fine with minor kits, but there's something to be said about starting with nothing.
    Man, this brought me back! I watched the first SG tournament when it came out and I watched the three other SG tournaments that followed. I completely forgot about how I'd only play SG servers, constantly refresh websites for open games, and check my rank on the leaderboards weekly. I didn't use MCSG when they upgraded to signs because the server filled up too quickly, so I played on smaller servers. I took pride that I was the 3rd and 24th best player on two of those servers (although in retrospect, I think it's because I was playing on smaller servers with lots of members but less competition regardless). My first Minecraft UA-cam video (now private) was a guide to the first map. I was absolutely crushed when TeamVariede disbanded. Man, I kinda miss those days.

      I could have gone into lots of detail, but basically, the old maps were bigger and chests were more scarce and hidden meaning you really had to explore for loot. There was also lots of traps and secret entryways in old maps which new maps don't have. New maps also restrict your movement with big buildings and obstacles where as the first map allowed you to go basically anywhere

    The Hive used to be THE place to go play Survival Games for me, especially since it has remained so loyal to the original concept for all these years. I think the need for convenience and meeting player demand caused the creation of automatic means of bringing players together near the end of matches (most commonly deathmatch and more recently the closing border mechanic). Was hoping that the Minecraft Ultimate Event would try something similar to the OG UA-camr Survival Games where dead players or admins would push players together artificially using mobs and whatnot, but they sadly resorted to the border as well.

    MCSG was the best competitive hunger games mini game in existence. Points, leaderboards, I remember competing in the top 200-300 for points and that was insane back then as the community was huge. My childhood was MCSG, old user: Hunter110s :)

    I remember, the first time I played Minecraft was with my friends on "Race for the Wool." The map had a sense of whimsy which can only be described contiguously with the void (of my early teens, and the building community). @TheMisterEpic, you're right that the early hunger game maps were empty; And similarly it gives you this awe and whimsy from living in the void.
    Those little chests were exciting :). It felt like after much searching, you solved a puzzle. I would love to play your survival games maps -- or anything to remember the olden days! :P :)

    I still remember my first win on mcsg as a 9 year old. a bit over a 1000 matches. Finally i won, i screamed in excitement and i ran into the living room saying to my mom: MOM I WON MOM I WON!
    i was happy for the rest of the week and won serveral times. That is probably the best i have ever felt playing a videogame.

    My favorite Survival Games server was Multicube, but sadly it has come to an end back in early 2015, mostly because Syndicate barely cared about it. Their SG plugin didn't let any kits or bought advantages, but you had a specific ability depending on the district you were randomly put in, so anyone could get any of them, but they weren't a "game changer" at all. Also, it had care package drops, acid rain, spider invasion or even meteor showers as threats from the map. The maps were the classic ones, such as SG1, SG4 and a few non-classic ones too.
    I really enjoyed the way the game worked there, in my opinion, one of the best experiences I've ever had on minecraft minigames. Unfortunately, no other server I found had that same plugin and it ended up dying. I still hope to find something like that again.
