Torque is very much like C++

But yes they are wrong

The game is coded in C++, scripted in TorqueScript.

I want to hit the author of that article with a sock full of soap. He's so loving clueless about everything >:O Just because the pixels are distinguishable doesn't mean it has 8-bit graphics, and just because something has cubes doesn't mean that it at all relates to Minecraft.

If he does that once more I will personally head to Russia and sabotage a nuke silo with my bare hands and a paperclip to launch at him.

i hate that they compared it to minecraft

Yeah its a bit annoying, especially since Blockland has been around for so long, they way its in the list almost makes it sound like it was based off Minecraft...

...still, I guess they are just saying "alternatives", not Minecraft clones...

blockland

Blockland looks a bit like what would happen if Lego decided to make a Minecraft game.

that's the first loving sentence, there's one in the second paragraph that says "you don't actually do much mining in blockland" YOU DON'T DO ANY MINING BLOCKLAND, IT'S ABOUT loving LEGOS, IT'S ALL LEGOS!

anyway, this seems like it was written by a 12 year old.

[Demian]

YOU DON'T DO ANY MINING BLOCKLAND, IT'S ABOUT loving LEGOS, IT'S ALL LEGOS!

Shall I point you to the dozens of servers that do exactly that? Click on brown 4x cubes for hours and hours.

yeah but i'm referring to the vanilla game. also, you don't do stuff with those blocks except get money to get more upgrades to dig deeper to get more money for more upgrades.

i've made an account and left a comment on his page

you're an idiot. how is blockland anything like minecraft? have you even actually played the game?

[Stocking]

What the forget is the appeal of Minecraft? I thought it was awesome stuff for the first few weeks I had but every time I start it up I have to stop from the crushing boredom of the whole experience. The game is a loving mess, with terrible, annoying combat, creepers that pull richard moves and no motivation to do anything at all. Seriously, every one of those games mentioned there is a lot better than Minecraft (that $1 xbox shizz doesn't have buggy-ass multiplayer either) and each deserve a lot more recognition than that perpetually-in-beta piece of stuff. I mean, I got bored of Terraria, but they update it frequently enough and with enough content to make it worth playing again, but with Minecraft you may get one or two new items every three weeks accompanied by all of your mods breaking and a hundred new bugs to deal with.

...and the Blockland comparison? What the forget is that? Minecraft should be illegal, and all works relating to Minecraft burned in a glorious bonfire.
