I always say that Minecraft is a great tool but a terrible game. It does so many things wrong that other games do right: the bosses are terrible, the combat is terrible, the enemies are terrible, the exploration is terrible, the UI is terrible and the game is full of glitches etc... Its design is sloppy and scattershot and unfocused (as shown by the snapshots and updates (lets include banners but not improve things that actually matter)). Sounds like the PS4 version is even worse...my condolences. |
It's fun as a toy but indeed horrible as a game. At least they seem to know it themselves and you can turn off hostile mobs, tnt explosions and fire spreading. The problem is that you can only get certain building materials from enemies. I was expecting a 3D Terraria, but it doesn't come anywhere near close that experience. The addition of being able to build fun mechanisms, albeit in a weird convoluted way, saves it for me. Too bad signal locking repeaters aren't even in the ps4 version, nor hoppers or comparators. Seeking for advice on the wiki doesn't help much when half the tools are missing.
I guess I can switch to creative mode, cuts out resource hunting? It might lose its appeal altogether when it's nothing more than an editor. My 5 year old wants to see the end, and the ender dragon. I think I'll pass... Making a portal to the Nether world and immediately being blasted off into a huge lava lake, twice, in different locations, that was enough fun.
