I have PS3 and vita versions.

The digging and arranging blocks gets boring real quick and once you get past that, you realise its just a very shallow rpg with crap combat, physics, graphics, animation, sound, story and anything else you can think of that could/should be in a game.

The_Sony_Girl1 i was referring to myself where if i had children, i would incoporate asian parenting style for Op situation lol. I wasn't calling kerotan as asian lol

I hope Notch looks at himself in the mirror one day and puts a bullet in his head. I know that's extremely extreme but that's how I feel. He's the least responsible person on the planet, ruining the entire generation and he doesn't even care. Not even a person, a monster he is.

That damn game.. It's going to be the reason the world will end sooner or later, I tell you!

Minecraft can be used as a weapon. A friend bought minecraft on 360 so that his annoying little cousins could be preoccupied while he can play all his Rated M PS4 games in peace.

Wow! This makes me want to log off of vgchartz and never come back. MASSIVE generalizations. Ridiculous statements, like this never happened before. My brother used to steal the plug off of the playstation 1 if we didn't play the game of his choice. Instead you blame miecraft specifically even though it's a fad and next year little kids will be stealing something else.

Come back and read this in a few years and you will be massively embarrassed.

More like brothers are just annoying.

My kids learned a lot from Minecraft when they were younger. They've more or less grown out of it now, although they do still play it occasionally on the PS4. Recently, we had an exchange student from Germany stay with us for a week (my kid will go and stay with his family later in the year) and one thing they did have in common was that they liked to play Minecraft. Playing Minecraft with my son helped our visitor improve his vocabulary and conversational English significantly, and since that was the purpose of the visit, I guess that's a success!

To the op - I don't think Minecraft is the problem, it could have been any video game. The problem is more with the addictive nature of videogames in general, and it's the responsibility of parents to help their kids learn to manage and prioritise.

Sorry about what happened to you and your Vita. I didn't know Minecraft was this big among kids. I see the appeal in it though. Minecraft is really fun. I enjoyed it myself for awhile. Though not to bash the other MC versions, after playing the PC version, going back to console was too difficult to do.

Sorry, got a little off topic. I'm surprised how much you let your kid brother off the hook. I would have been more stern on him. Stealing is no joke.

Are you kidding me? Minecraft isn't just a fad. There are literally millions of lets players playing it on YouTube. Something that huge doesn't just disappear. And yes, I blame Minecraft specifically. Why? It's because it's literally the most overplayed game of all time, and because of that, many children aren't exposed to any interactive entertainment because of Minecraft. The good thing is though, I've introduced him to board games and card games, so now he brings those instead of electronics. What was my massive generalizations? How is this ridiculous?
