Got something to say? Go for it!
Minecraft is actually a lot of fun to play in my encreiexpe with it. I played Total Miner: Forge’ and really enjoyed the freedom to just create, but found it was lacking tht something special that would make it great. But i enjoyed it enough to pick up Minecraft on release day. To be honest about it, it’s one of the best purchases i’ve made in a long time (worth noting i’ve never tried the tutorial given i didn’t feel i need to after playing so much Total Miner). The enemies can be pretty punishing on normal or above, but i’ve found they are a lot more acceptable in easy mode (peaceful mode simply removes them). In easy mode they still surprise you and still go bang, but not anywhere near as often as you have described (i think there’s less enemies) and with a little common sense and tactics you can avoid catastrophes. Although on occasion you’ll still have a creeper explode in your face deep at the bottom of a mine after you’ve discovered that incredibly rare vein of diamonds. But i think this sort of unpredictability adds to the survival nature of the game.Spawn points can be changed by sleeping in a bed, so it becomes a tactical thing of creating new bases as you go so you can always get back to your goods before they vanish should the worst happen. Then there’s the freedom to just get creative and build. On one of my saves I have a 3 story castle with a moat, neatly arranged and labeled store rooms and turrets at each corner to look out at the enemies on a night time safe from harm. The castle also a walled garden full of grow houses for various crops for me to harvest for supplies and a wolf house for my loyal wolves. On another save i have a massive 3 story underground farm complete with a self harvesting cactus plantation. This underground lair is also complete with a skeleton mob grinder i built upon finding a skeleton mob spawner while building the farm. Skeletons spawn (i watch safely behind glass), they get carried down 7 floors or so by water and eventually drown before the water carries the bones and arrows they drop to a collection point for me to pick up. Basically an unlimited supply of arrows and bones for my use.While i understand your frustration, i would definitely recommend giving it another go as it’s a strangely addictive and quite rewarding game to play. It’s only going to get better in time as the free updates get released and the game catches up to it’s PC counterpart.
