You know, sometimes I forget just how young some of the forum members are here.
And then a thread like this pops up and I remember. lol
Some games aren't conductive to covering in a traditional review. in Minecraft's case, the game has only recently entered beta, and it isn't really even a "game" yet. - TRUE
There are a lot of gameplay elements that are currently missing from MineCraft, and a huge amount of tweaking to be done to get all the current and future features to gel, so that they can get the balance of the game right.
(Also, I can't help but feel that he meant conducive.) :smile.gif:
There's no telling when or if we'll ever see a final version capable of being reviewed - TRUE
What most people see MineCraft including when it's finished may be a million miles from what Notch sees as a finished MineCraft.
Of course they should wait until they can review the finished game.
How else are they supposed to give it a fair score?
Anything that's not in MineCraft right now is purely vapourware, and most things that are talked about on these forums won't make it into the final game.
Krush.
Thisthisthis!
While I don't agree with Gameinformer, they can do what they want.
But when the Creeper apocalypse eventually comes, I hope they get nuked first.

words are meant to be misspelled. Names aren't.
Actually, if you had ever been on the internet before in your life other than playing crappy tower defense flash games, you would know he was shortening your name. Also, if words are meant to be misspelled, explain erasers, edit buttons, dictionaries, spellchecker, the English language, and any language in general. Why don't we all just go around talking like: "mg uded w shd ytattal hung tu samtem"
Also, I don't know why you are SO offended by the fact that someone wants to wait until Minecraft is done, and I don't know why you value his opinion so much more than yours, because the fun YOU get out of the game is what counts.
Ok, so there are a lot of people who read gameinformer. About half of them actually read the feedback. Im one of them. One of the subscribers wrote to them about how they had featured MC in an on your mind segment in the feedback. He said he was waiting for them to write a reveiw of MC. THEY told him that they did not think MC was good Enough yet for a reveiw and did not know if it ever would be. OFFENSE!!!!!!! This is a disgrace to all MC lovers. It is time to fight back! Egg their houses, maybe occupy them with some chickens, or send a Zombe hoard with pet creepers at their side! Do something! MC LOVERS, UNITE!!!!!!!!
It's like your older brother; poking fun at you for a retarded reaction. I'd say they were successful.

Actually, that's the best mental image ever. A dying, drowning man stuffing his face from a massive wall of cake, and carving out a monstrous underwater cake picture. I'd pay to watch that irl.
Gameinformer is plain ********.
It's not worth a cent.
A site that gives CoD BO a 9 and says it's creative while not having reviews of The Legend of Zelda can't be worth anything. They don't know what games are. They want shiny graphics with no gameplay. Those are sold souls. They probably get paid by EA and Activision for reviews.
This. Sorry but I don't see the importance. I've never heard of this magazine, and nobody reads magazines anymore anyways. Video game magazines haven't been cool since the 1980's.
HOW COULD THEY SAY SUCH THINGS!?
I used to actually think they were a decent game magazine!

Simply put? Don't let a skeleton shoot an arrow up yours, by reacting to a few lines. Its a group of people stating their reviews. And nowadays, everyone* is entitled to their opinions.

If one has fun, then they are doing what they intended to do. If one is a player, then they intend to play the game. If one is griefer, then they intend to grief. Therefore, a player has fun playing the game, and a griefer has fun griefing.
GameInformer is crap. Their reviews are baseless and paid-for.
I don't see why Notch or anyone in the MC community should take offense at these hacks dissing on a game we know to be leaps and bounds above anything else we've played so far.
Agreed, doesn't Game Stop own them? I haven't had the magazine for years but If the store doesn't carry a certain item the magazine will probably dis it if they talk about it at all.
Game informer does this all the time to make game fans rage. They feed on the hate mail. The next month they will post the hate mail to get more hate mail. Successful trolls are successful.
A couple of weeks ago everyone in my school thought MC sucked balls. Huge donkey balls. They said it was childish, had horrid graphics (but then, they aren't too bright). Now, when I started talking about it to some friends they began to play it. all of a sudden it had spread like wildfire. Now earlier this week, some guy who has never played a video game before comes up to me and asks me how to get unto Minecraft's site -.- (no, he isn't very smart.) Now everyone in my school that plays video games, plays MC.
point is: I think MC will be okay, Gameinformer or not.
@ nickgreen, I first heard about it when they did their coverage on skyrim. i might have seen it in the store, but I have never actually cared to read it.
