Can I rant about Minecraft here? I'll do it anyway, game pissed me off completely today.
I'm playing the ps4 version, initially it all ran butter smooth, long draw distance, 60 fps. Well draw distance cuts in half in splitscreen, understandable I guess. Then I started building some complex redstone mechanisms. Interesting but definitely made by hackers, weirdest rule set for passage of current I have ever seen. A lot of features are not in the ps4 version. Plus the horribly unoptimized glitchy engine can't keep up, I'm glad when the framerate stays in the double digits in splitscreen. And don't wander too far apart, at some point placing anything had almost a full second delay.
Then there's the horrible path finding, creatures that sort of float through walls to upto 30 yards outside their pens and magically warp back when you hit them. The engine doesn't seem capable of rendering more then 15 of the block creatures at a time and keeps telling me I can't breed any more chickens. I only have 4 chickens... And there's spiders with Parkinson's disease that get sucked up in the air constantly and glitch through walls. Who thought it was a good idea to have a suicide mob that runs at you silently and blows up, leaving a big crater, in a game about building stuff.
And the worst today. I got hit by gravel while digging, instead of simply backing up it glitched me through the floor into a lava pool somewhere underneath with an obsidian roof, no way out, lost everything. 2.5 billion for that, jeez this game needs some work. With MS just having bought the thing, I doubt the ps4 version will get any updates soon.
Building and exploring is fun, but after finally experiencing Minecraft for over a week, I would say, scrap the lot and rewrite the whole engine in a proper programming language.

*Note to self: Don't buy Minecraft on the PS4*
Seriously, I was thinking about trying it but after reading that, I'll pass.
Sorry the game kinda sucks 
On the other hand, you saved me money. Thanks
