Author Topic: Minecraft or Terraria?  (Read 3922 times)

Alright, so on Thursday, after graduation, I'll finally get to whip out my new laptop. I've spent all day watching Let's Plays of both of these games and I've done some snooping, but I'd like to hear some other opinions on which I should get first.

So, with that said, Minecraft or Terraria?


I've played both, and I honestly prefer Minecraft.

I literally got bored of Terraria on the second day I bought it.

Terraria is incredibly fun but gets dull after first couple days.


Get Minecraft for almost nonstop continous fun.



I find Terraria more fun. So long as you aren't setting out to just complete it and actually just have fun. Like, you need to wallow in it. (I've played it for 15 hours, not done a single boss yet or had anyone move in! c:.)

Minecraft.
I've played MC for longer and I prefer 3D games to 2D.
Terraria is great, but it gets really quite boring after a while. Then again, so does minecraft but it is constantly updated to make it even more fun =D.

Anyway, "The original, the best". Minecraft was here first.

Terraria is tons more fun for the first 2 days. After about a week you have done everything you want to do and you have everything. You start playing other games. Minecraft is less fun for about a week and after a couple of weeks you run out of imagination and you start playing other games.


Minecraft and Terraria are completely different games. Saying that they're the same type of game on only the fact that they both have randomly generated worlds and a sandbox building mechanic is just stretching it. Terraria is all about the combat, gear progression, and exploring caverns and dungeons for neat pieces of gear. Minecraft is probably the better game if all you're looking to do is build, because the combat in Minecraft is only there to impede your construction and not to provide any real semblance of challenge.

If you want a sandbox, action RPG. Terraria
If you want a sandbox building game, Minecraft



Anyway, "The original, the best".

Then do you prefer inoculation to vaccination? Amputation to medication? Dehydration to refrigeration?

That's a stupid quote that you pulled out your ass.

Minecraft was here first.

Minecraft was a shameless ripoff of Infiniminer with some sandbox elements thrown in and all the gameplay taken out. It wasn't until alpha that Minecraft had anything redeemable about it to call it an actual game.



Both get boring quick for me. They're both good games. Get both. I'd get Minecraft first though.

This tbh

Minecraft. Terraria is too early into development to have any long lasting enjoyment to it.

You can literally get to endgame in two days.
