Is there any reason to play Minecraft since Terraria is a thing and is 10000x more fun?
Got Terraria on a Steam sale, played it for 10 minutes, hated it, then immediately refunded my purchase. Shit was awful.
>>321992410
is there any reason to play either when Smash Melee exists?
Terraria is not 3D.
That's all, really. Terraria is pretty solid now and a great adventure with friends. But minecraft is 3D lego with something they call "enemies", so it's a different experience.
Also Minecraft is more focused on building while Terraria is just a Metroidvania with destructible terrain.
>>321992664
Oh boy here we go.
>>321992578
I had a similar experience where I thought it was shit and then went back and played it over a year later. I ended up beating every boss with a bro. If it's not your thing then it's just not, but I think it's kind of great now.
>>321992801
if you want to draw, draw. If you want to autistically line up blocks for a single line which ends up taking way longer with not enough color palette options for it to be even remotely similar to Lego. Nor requiring any type of logic
>>321992410
Mods?
the combat was too garbage, literally could not stand more than 5 minutes
>>321992825
It's been a while since I last played it, but I think I had a miserable time with how the game functioned; iirc, targeting things was a pain, and placing shit down to build was not very fun for me. To be fair, I never really got into it, so maybe I'm just looking at it from its surface.
>>321992959
Learn to format your god damn sentences properly.
>>321993105
I know how to. Just not up to.
Vanilla for vanilla it shits all over minecraft.
Factor in mods an I tend to prefer minecraft though. Not that Terraria isn't still great but it just doesn't offer the same amount of autism satisfying fun that modded MC does for me.
>>321993086
If I tried to play it like Minecraft then I probably wouldn't have any fun. I played it more thinking it was a little like Castlevania with multiplayer and had a lot of fun. The building and mining part I more or less did just to get through the bosses.
>>321992410
minecraft modpacks
mod support of terraria 1.3 is almost nonexistent
also, vanilla minecraft still offers a fun game even if terraria trumps it in most ways
>>321992578
The first 10 minutes is 5% about what the gameplay is about. but then again a faggot like you dont deserve to experience all the great things a game like Terraria offers
I prefer building in minecraft, especially with mods. Terraria is closer to a metroidvaniaand more fun overall.
I never really got why people keep comparing them.
It's too bad Terrarria's early game is really slow, it gives off the wrong impression about what kind of game it is. The early game really does feel like a Minecraft clone in a lot of ways.

Terraria Otherworld looking hype as fuck.

Too bad they delayed it to 2016.
>>321993678
I was being a little conservative with the 10-minute figure, it was probably closer to 20. If the game can't grab me at all in the first 20 minutes, why should I endure playing it to potentially get to the good bits? I hated my experience playing it, so I refunded it and played something more worth my time. Or I masturbated, can't remember which.
>>321993572
>muh mods makes a better game
So by default a shitty game is better than a good one because it has mods? the fuck
>>321994171
Why didn't you just use ≤ ?
>>321994331
The gameplay seems fun but graphics/artwork isnt pretty. While I dont watch porn for the story, I enjoy games that look good. I dont think Terraria Otherworld does. Terraria has excellent gameplay and charming graphics which makes it one of my favourite games
>>321994428
The good bits is 90% of the game. You should endure it because it's a small time investment to get into a game with a massive amount of content. That kind of attitude is going to leave you having never played a lot of really good games just because the worst part happened to be first instead of somewhere arbitrarily in the middle.
>>321994505
To be honest "minecraft with mods" should be considered a entirely different game than "minecraft"
minecraft is 3d
terraria is 2d
therefore minecraft is better because everyone knows 3d>2d
>>321994634
I'm used to using that in code all the time and don't know the codes for all the characters off the top of my head.

I can't think of any other game I've played where I hated playing the first 10% of it and it turned out the rest of the game was brilliant.
>>321992664
Is there any reason to play Smash Melee when Undertale exist?
>>321995260
Terraria is pretty simple, first 10% is just 2d minecraft, then it becomes centered on fighting bosses and clearing hard dungeons.

Jesus. I was thinking of writing "hello reddit" but you're bot worth it. Do you have an attention span? At all?
>>321993572
Minecraft with mods is still just minecraft though. Sure you can build some interesting things but for what purpose? I've yet to see a single minecraft mod where you have something to use that end game equipment on. And even if there are bosses, they are still minecraft bosses and are going to suck absolute ass
>>321992410
I tried to play it but couldn't figure out the controls, even simple shit like how to move and fight and whatever.
So, into the trash it went. I'm not Googling how to work the controls. That shit should be intuitive.

Appeal to tradition (also known as argumentum ad antiquitatem,[1] appeal to antiquity, or appeal to common practice) is a common fallacy in which a thesis is deemed correct on the basis that it is correlated with some past or present tradition.
Personal experience is not tradition.
>>321997551

Yeah that's why Terraria is a grind. Minecraft is about exploring and building, while Terraria is about changing from item A to B, then from item B to C.
>>321997439
>Comparing food to videogames

>>321998265
I woudlnt call it a grind just because its x20 more progressive. Sure, certain items in the game can be a grind to obtain when they have a drop chance of 1/8000. But they are not required to progress, just fun extras

Alright, I'll concede the point. It's an appeal to tradition.
What of it? If anon thinks that similar things were shit in similar situations (first 10% of game is shit, therefore 90% is likely shit too) then he may be committing a logical fallacy, but it is nonetheless a trait human beings adapt to protect themselves.
All of human history is filled with similar tales (fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me). People learn, adapt, and project. It isn't logical, and it may be wrong some or most of the time but life isn't logical. Unless you're having a formal debate with someone logical fallacies aren't really relevant.

I can think of quite a few. Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean 2, Final Fantasy III, most any game with a longer tutorial...
Terraria gets more and more fun the more stuff you get. Early game you don't have any stuff. The way you explore caves and shit changes quite a bit when you get a lucky horseshoe and or a grappling hook, for example. In 20 min you haven't even seen the first boss, or done one of the invasion events. Hell, you likely haven't even earned any NPCs other than the Guide.

>>I can't watch videos to figure out how a game plays
Why in the the name of all that is holy would anyone do such a thing? I'll never understand modern gamers.
>>321992578
I wish refunds were a thing back when I got it.
>>321999290
Because they know what's great about the type of game they're watching, and if its design is reductionist tripe, it's obviously worth checking out something else
>>321999290
Well, for one thing, instead of "nah, this probably doesn't get any better" you can actually look up a gameplay video from later in the game to find out for sure. Gamers today, right?
>>321999362
You can still try for a refund and see what happens.
>>321999496
Or I could just say "nah, this probably doesn't get any better" and go play one of the hundreds of other games I could be playing instead. Instead of watching others play video games, I could be playing them myself.
Back in my day, if we thought a game might have shitty gameplay we played it anyway and hoped it got better because games were few and far between. Now, I have every game in the world at my fingertips and if a game has shitty gameplay I can just do something else. I've spent enough times play bad games and I'd rather be doing anything else in the world than wasting more time on bad games.
Instead, modern gamers choose to watch others play games. I'll never understand it.
>>322000123
What, do you not watch trailers either? Wouldn't want to have any idea what you are getting yourself into, after all, when you could just be jumping blind into another game you know nothing about.
>>322000679
>What, do you not watch trailers either?
To be honest, not really.
>Wouldn't want to have any idea what you are getting yourself into, after all, when you could just be jumping blind into another game you know nothing about.
You say that with the implication that its somehow a bad thing. Modern gamers who suck up information about games non stop before they are even released and watch others play games before they get to play themselves have completely deprived themselves of the joys of discovery.

Waste lots of time before bosses to get every buff in the game, you're gonna need it. Cheese the fuck out of every encounter by building boss specific arenas so they can barely ever touch you and then make sure not to play it alone because it's not balanced around that. I'd honestly leave expert mode alone if I were you
Didn't read thread and it's probably been said but MC has mods that make it what it should have been while Terraria is pretty repetitive and raw. And RP - there are a lot of awkward MC RP servers of the "oh yes, meido-chan, carry that stone block to katsuragi-sama-senpai and bring me a new pickaxe, will you - - or you get punished again!" type. Then again that's probably not a good thing.

Space Gun works up through getting the hardmode yoyo. Other than needing anything else to deal with the green flamethrower during the Twins, the ice yoyo handles everything until post-Plantera.
So, you caught me. Space Gun -> ice yoyo -> Mothron's yoyo drop

Yes, virtual legos.
Terraria building just isn't as good due to being 2d.
Though to be fair, a "fore-wall" option similar to the background wall material that you place materials in front of your building that would give it a "view from outside" appearance would be great.
Imagine seeing a "front" of your building which would fade out once you entered the building, that would solve a lot of gripe with the building limitations.

I can never get past the beginning of the game where you are tediously mining, everything fun requires lots of material and you can't explore much because your gear is crap. Also I find the inventory a pain to use.
Honestly I'd enjoy a version where there is no resource management at all and it's just an exploration game.

>>322015607
exactly. People like >>321992801 say "Terraria is just a Metroidvania with destructible terrain", but I wish that were true. Holding my mouse on a tiny pixel for a few seconds to mine, then awkwardly moving to the next block, then falling down a pit or something and losing everything is not really fun. I just want to fly around and kill shit, explore, build the housing. Not spend hours getting the materials to enable that. Is there some mode I'm missing that people are using to have fun?

Softcore is a more where when you die you only lose a % of the money you have on your character and nothing more.
Autoselect/smart cursor is a button you press that all you have to do is hold the mouse button and it'll mine in the direction you are pointing, i forgot how to active it, long time without playing, look for in on the options.
>>322017846
I already play softcore then. Losing half the money is demotivating enough.

Building a house for 9+ npcs takes 5 minute tops. You might as well complain about Mario because you run into the first Goomba and die.
>problem is the caves just wreck my shit, I die from fall damge or the worm things or something, then don't have the motivation to go all the way back down again to get my bag.

So don't fall down holes? You can see what's below you, you can place down blocks anywhere to maneuver around, and you can hear enemies long before they reach you.
If you simply did not find the game fun or did not enjoy having to build shit, that's understandable. Your only real complaint however is that you're incapable of basic human thought and reasoning.

>>322017846
crafting and gathering is what makes the game fun. while gathering materials you will discover new enemies and new items which makes aids your progression and makes things fun. if you didn't have to gather materials then the game would be boring as shit.
>>322018434
>Building a house for 9+ npcs takes 5 minute tops.

>auto filling with walls
how do you do that?

>You're just pointing and clicking on shit.
I think that's the problem for me, I play controller games on my PC only, I can't get used to using mouse+kb controls

Fishing is what you're missing. Get a Reaver Shark from the ocean, then go to the underground desert in your world and collect fossils and an extractinator to get a shitload of ores and gems. Amber Staff is a good weapon and the Fossil gear is fairly useful too. If you want you can then proceed to the jungle to get some more appropriate armor for that staff, but even if you don't you should be able to start fighting bosses with that and sufficient buffs.
