They're doing a terrrible job of updating the game.
Modders have done soooo much more.

I'd settle for a few new monster types to fight.

What mods do people rec?

Oh, I don't think so. I still prefer vanilla Minecraft to any of the mods. There are a lot of good ones, but I like to keep it simple.

Thank you indie developers for allowing me to keep my hobby. The so-called AAA market apparently believes that it's consumer base is a recyclable resource with unlimited funds and a short term memory. The cynic in me can't really argue its them as the mainstream gaming consumer has so far been willing to bend over and take it. I just wish the indie developers were the ones in control of Diablo.

Well Said.

Another complaint about character customization. I gain new abilities as I progress, but I don't feel those abilities progressing. The abilities feel the same level after level.

Wow, I dare you to find a negative review. I'm almost done with all those listed here and everyone seems to love the game, aside from a few complaints, and even those are hard to find. One of the reviews refers to the game as a 'watershed' moment for gaming. I can't wait to get home!

The lowest metacritic critic reviews(80s) have some pretty negative comments. These comments echoed the problems I had with the first Bioshock too, so it seems legit. Also, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade :p I just think people should be more objective and cautious.

Sure, you'll find negative comments for anything, people have different taste. Some people liked DA2 People should definitely be cautious and objective but in this case the game is out now and people have plenty of info to determine if its worth buying.

I think if someone disliked Bioshock then this game probably won't change their mind.

. Was also thinking about everyone who pre-ordered from here and how we keep saying we won't pre-order.....

I think this was a pretty low risk preorder. Tons of companies were throwing in freebies and credits that made it worth it regardless of how the game turned out. What tipped me over was someone linked those AMD Reloaded ebay things so I got this and the new Tomb Raider for like $51, a total steal IMHO.

Well, the trailer looks good and the reviews have been glowing. I'm stoked to play this.

apparently Lord British considers 'Minecraft' an app--not a game.

Well it isn't much of a game, I'll agree with him there.

I’ve met virtually no one…who I think is close to as good a game designer as I am.

Because Tabula Rasa was *such* a good game!

Should have left that ego in orbit.

While I generally agree... I'm not sure what went on with that game, nor how much interference there was by other stakeholders. Granted, I can't fault NCSoft for pushing the game out when Garriot was working on it way way too long... but something tells me that it suffered from "Duke Nuke 'Em Forever Syndrom", with several "start over" phases.

Ultima IX was pure EA interference.

So, we'll see if he still has anything left, as a designer, when Shroud of the Avatar is done.

But yeah... he needs to keep that Ego in check, cuz his last few attempts ain't been all that great.
