Minecraft: 360 Edition players will get their Dragonborn on soon, for the Skyrim Mash-Up goes live today! It comes complete with a huge list of goodies, including:
- 40 character skins
- Themed texture set
- Themed menus and user interface
- Craftable items
- More than 20 songs from the Skyrim soundtrack
- Pre-made world save, includes areas of Whiterun, Riverwood, and Bleak Falls Barrow
Once it goes live, you will be able to download it from Xbox Live, like previous mash-ups. Awesome!
Customizing Minecraft to make it your own is a huge part of game - both in-game, with building and play, and with modding and texture packs - what if you could add a mash-up pack to MCX360? What would it be?
It is.
As I understand it there aren't actually any NEW items it just looks different. Like an Official Texture Pack.
Yeah.
I'm trying to comprehend this idocricy.
So...people can download all of the texture packs and mods they want for free on the PC version...but they are literately selling them on the Xbox 360 just because it's a different platorm and probably takes a bit of tweaking to implement mods/texture packs on there. Wow.
Wow.
You also have to realize, Microsoft does not like giving away free addons for games unless there's a VERY good reason. "Because it's free on PC" isn't a good enough reason for Microsoft. The whole paying for texturepacks and skins thing has been discussed before.
Team fortress 2 had the same issue. The PC version had free updates that added tons of weapons, maps, and the addition of hats, and even a new gamemode. Microsoft didn't like the idea of giving the updates out for free on the 360 version. Instead of charging for updates that should be free, Valve decided to not add the new things in at all. Be happy Minecraft is even getting skins and texture packs.
Microsoft are really against giving in-game things away for free. I'm sure the people making the xbox version(and mojang) aren't complaining about extra money either, but still. It's only like $5 anyway. Not a huge deal considering you get a texture pack, tons of skins, and a custom map. You don't HAVE to get it. And they give away some things free. They've given away a free skin pack for and texture pack for so far, and trials of skin packs come with 2-3 free skins you can use whenever you want.
If you really want a free texture pack, mod your xbox and add it yourself.
Why does Xbox gets the cool stuff?! D;
Yes, I do that all the time lol. I try to use LB to run and Y to jump
Yeah.. and pay $3.99 for it... just wait someone will probably figure a way to make a pc version, and for free.
2. Port it to console.
3. Give the console version stuff the PC doesn't have.
Sigh... same old as ever.
