News Minecraft gets release date

I absolutely adore this game its so addictive, Notch deserves my money.

 

Am I the only person in this world that thinks this game is overrated? When I was a kid I used to play lego all the time, but I just don't see the appeal of this game. I played this for a few hours and didn't see the appeal. I also feel like using my 2600k and crossfire 6970s to play this game is a waste. Overall, the obsession with this horrible looking, indy game is making me sick. Reminds me of farmville and WoW obsessions.

 

I've even run the thing on Pentium M with 915GM. In fact, that thing thoroughly trounced an Atom with GMA950 -- the Pentium M got between 5 and 20 FPS, and the Atom rarely (perhaps never) reached even 1 FPS.

I had to run the Pentium M in Linux, since the Windows drivers (XP drivers under Win7) only support OpenGL 0.0 (that is, none at all).

 

Is the game free to play in the beta? or charge only?

 

lol... considering 23 Million Euro's have been generated in BETA alone. I don't think they need to give that much of a crap

 

You can play the free, albeit very old "Creative" mode in a browser.

But to be able to play the downloadable, updateable, modifyable client, you need to buy it.

15 Euro if I'm correct

 

I've played the....demo?...beta?
Last month's free version anyway.

I fail to see what the hype is about...at all.
Bored out of my wits within an hour.

Probably did something wrong or didn't "get it", you can't all be fools.

 

the demo doesnt really reflect what the 'Full' Version is about any more

there is a lot of Survival horror about in the full game as well as massive creativity.
