i understood the ending well. it causes your mind to think allot. then my friend had said that it was just a bunch of blabbing on about random stuff. after that i started to wonder who really understood the ending. so basically i just want to know how many people did understand it. and how many people didnt understand what those two people were saying

If you want information about the game but don't wanna click either links or you just want more information. then go to my profile Bio, Or send me a message.
Yes, I understood it... that doesn't mean I was moved to tears by it though. Nor am I prepared to instantly alter my belief system (which has served me well all of my life).
It was lovely and I understood it, I was not brought to tears as I have seen much more powerful text.
yes i have too seen more powerful texts

If you weren't moved you didn't get it. And it doesn't have to alter anything. ;-)
I don't think I deserved to be slammed for my own belief in how well I personally understood the text. If you truly expect everyone worldwide to be as emotionally moved as you were, I would suggest that it may be you who doesn't really get it afterall. I can accept that you were emotionally moved by it and that's OK with me. My reaction to the text should be, I believe, treated with equal validity and respect, don't you think?
The Wiki declares that the poem "appears to be an exposition of Notch's monisticperennial philosophy which is shown to the player upon completing the game." Ref: http://www.minecraft...t/wiki/End_Poem inside the spoiler. Therefore, it expresses a belief system (which is what I understood it to be)... and I stand by my statement, I am simply not prepared to instantly ascribe to a philosophy based on a poem written as the pseudo-end to a game, whether that particular text causes an emotional reaction or not. Some younger children may be that impressionable, however. So, my question is, Are such strong statements about particular philosophies and belief statements appropriate in video games designed specifically for players 10+?
i was impatient and skipped it... it looked like they just pasted my gamertag into text... blah blah blah
i was surprised it took so long for someone to say they skipped it. most people wouldnt have sat there and read the whole thing

When I see it in the PC I understand it but when I put them in the xbox I dont understand them for the simple fact that when I beat the dragon and go through the portal the credits dont go out. I mean, the background changes and all but the letters that make the words dont come so I cant see any single letter, therefore, I dont understand the credits in the minecraft xbox 360 edition

That's kind of a close minded response.
People can easily understand things and not be moved by them. If someone isn't moved by something like Saving Private Ryan or Braveheart, that doesn't mean they don't get it. It just means it didn't move them. Everyone is different.
I went out of the end in somebody else's world and stopped reading after about 2 minutes and can't really remember.
It seemed like one of those paradoxy things I get in my head every half hour.

I put my shirt on one leg at a time, just like everybody else.

Seems like you were moved enough by my comment to be offended. (slam?!Oo really?) XD
Well, my tears may have been in connection with my general state of mind @the time i've read it.
You complain about being "slammed" and in the same comment you try to insult/provoke me by saying that only little children would be moved by the text? (i bet you deny that, am i right?)
Try reading my comment again. I said nothing about being "offended" and yes, I will deny saying that "only little children" would be moved by the text? In fact, it did not actually say that I was not moved in any way by the text, I said I was not "moved to tears" by it; and I did say that I would not change my belief system arbitrarily to match a video game (since my belief system has been developed over a long life and has served me well for that long life) but that younger children might be "more impressionable" and inclined to do just that.
If you want to know my state of mind when I read that text... my initial emotional reaction to the text was anger. You see, I had a young relative lured away from home by a belief system professed in a video game. He was 14 when the game's influence took over his life. I won't discuss the pain our family has gone through as a result; but suffice it to say that it has been immense and he died far, far too young.
There is a darker side when games and movies and other "entertainment" media starts to profess themselves to be a philosophy. Some expression of the author's belief system is inevitable in any creative work and I accept that and have no objection within limits - but how much is too much in game rated 10+?

I went in saw the void and reloaded the game. If it weren't for the posts about the end poem I wouldn't have know about it.
Stay fluffy~

Did anybody else get chills down their spine when it told you to wake up?
