This thread so so full of f***ing fail, I'm surprised it hasn't boiled over into other threads. Oh wait. Those other threads probably boiled over into this one.
Idiot fanboys. Never bothering to keep in mind it's a pre-release, it's an indie company FFS, they don't have a thousand developers working on it.
No you know, do me a favor, drink a nice tall glass of some shut the **** up, OP.
If I hear one more person say it's a pre-release I'm going to punch them.
That's. Not. An. Excuse.
It doesn't take 2+ years to code a simple game in Java
It's because:
-Vacations
-notch can't code
-Notch can't keep focused on one project
Java is almost universally considered to be baby's first programming language. It should not take this long.
secondly, I'm not saying it's easy to make a game. But just look at the hundred of mod developers on this forum. A single person can get more done in 1 week than notch can in 2 months. That's all I'm getting at.
Ok, I'm a little peeved that it isn't coming out all at once, but the important thing is it is going to come out at some point. If it doesn't, then it's a good idea to complain.
Notch and everyone else at Mojang have lives, you all should know. They can't be worrying about MineCraft all day. People have families and hobbies, too.
Seriously when the **** are people going to stop making threads about how "lazy" notch is.
Its the same ****in thing every time op says notch is "insert negative thing here" the people who agree with the op say the same thing in a smart ass way and the notch supporters (or to the op of many threads like this notch worshipers) say "he has a life". then theres a endless back and forward. And the next day (or the next hour) THE SAME ****IN THING HAPPENS.
Because minecraft is an amazing survival/sandboxing game with indie roots. Even if it's developed slowly, it's still my favorite game.
I don't specifically hate Gmod, it's not extremely bad in anyway, but it's nothing special. I've played it before at a friend's and it wasn't good at all.
and not to mention all the complete losers who make the unfunny Gmod videos on youtube but think they're funny as hell. Point and case:
My main problem is that they seem to do NO inhouse testing before they release it to the public I mean some of the bugs we get each update _SHOULD_ not be happening [inb4 some notch fanoboi screams BETA OF COURSE IT WILL BE BUGGED] yes it is in beta BUT there is nothing anywhere that says we are the beta testers and any development company should be doing extensive inhouse testing before releasing any client to the public
Something that, surprisingly, a lot of people fail to grasp.
people should seriously stop defending his neglect of minecraft. if you can't work on something, either make it so you can or just don't work on it. i'd prefer minecraft stopped updating as opposed to destroying servers (see: exp)

Besides the fact that Idiot Box is funny, you had to have been playing it wrong
My only thought is you tried playing it on single player or something. Go to a zombie server, or the theatre server, or something.
Chill man, 1.8 isn't out yet you know, so its bugged. Also, theyre making millions of dollars. And guess what. You're not. So you shouldn't be talking. There will be NPC's in 1.8 FYI.
I put this challenge out to all the people who say they can do it in 1 week. Go for it, even use a pre-made game engine like source or unity3d. I dare you too... While your at it, you can submit your work until you have a fully shader driven lighting system, more than 6 unique npcs, a fractal based world generator (BTW, he rewrote the entire world generation from a perlin noise generator to a fractal based on) that is capable of mimicking real work biomes. You also have to do this while balancing a brand new marriage, planning a convention, running a business, balancing a lawsuit, and oh yeah... trying to impress an ungrateful and unworthy community.

the first off is roblox(sux nao) and gmod(i think)

Read the damn thread. I wrote about this earlier on the frist page. I understand that they have lives, but think. They don't have any other jobs, making minecraft IS there job. A typical full-time job is 40 hours per week. that's about 8 hours per 5-day work week. if they just sat down for 4-5 hours every day and tried to get as much done as they can, they'd have 2.0 out months ago.
But they dont. I wouldn't doubt if they give minecraft 1 hour every other day, and then do nothing for the rest of their time.
with proper time management, you can have time for work, hobbies, family, friends, and anything else in between.
You're taking this the wrong way. He's come a long way since when I started playing minecraft in November 2009. I'm not doubting he's a good programmer (even though he's using the worst language of all time), it's just the fact that a single mod developer contributes more to the game than he does. And when he messes stuff up, said mod developers always have to fix it. It's just a shame.
This topic comes up a lot in most all modding communities.
The simple fact is, modders dont have to worry all that much about the grand scale of the game and how their mod works, or doesn't, with it. Developers, on the other had, have to weigh every decision with how it effects the game as a whole. They cant simply say "This sounds cool, lets add it." like modders can.
Now, I know that is no excuse for shoddy content, but you need to give Notch some slack and understand that he has a lot more to deal with.

GMOD :|
exactly. nothing of value uses lua.
How can you play minecraft and hate Gmod

seems like you're lost. if you're looking for your homepage i've got a link to it ready for you here
at least it's not ****in' java
come on, notch

The NPC's are actually coming in 1.9...
