"I cannot recommend this game. Before I start this off, I'd like to address the 1,000 hours thing. Most of my hours are from either from me leaving the game open for my friends (partially due to the fact that blockland on steam has no dedicated support, and lacking a client made me deal with doing this for a bit), dealing with my friends playing this game, or actually enjoying 1-2 gamemodes that are put out on the game that are pretty much non existent now. "
I felt my review was legitimate due to the harm the community did to me. I have severe addiction problems and it only hurt me worse. The community only fueled my depression during a poor state in my life and makes it genuinely difficult to recommend something tied to a community like this.
This is my reasoning for a negative review and is very subjective. I am at most lukewarm to the game and attempt to avoid the community outside of the forum.
Hey man, I've been there. But you can't blame a game for your problems. It was a catalyst to your depression, not the cause of it. Not only is it harmful to the game to put this out there, but it's harmful for
you to be using a scapegoat rather than confronting your own problems. Take it from someone who's spent years shaking his fist at everyone and everything but himself.
I can't recommend more people play this game. Reason: Not enough people play the game.
Can't tell if this is satire or not. Do you not see the catch-22 in this statement? How would any game ever get people to play it if they used this logic? (The answer is none.) All multiplayer games start from a point of no players. And yet, they still somehow build communities.
BL is the greatest game ever made, and I just wrote a positive review because of this thread
Thank you!
They probably have no idea how to install add-ons or anything like that. They need to stop complaining and actually play and learn how to play the game.
The part of this that makes me laugh (and cry) the most is that Blockland has one of the most straight-forward, open-ended modding systems of any game I've ever seen. No SDKs or third-party programs needed. Just a text editor.
'don't say the truth cause that would hurt our cause'
Nice strawman. Don't blow on it; it might fall over.
The one thing I can agree with the nay-sayers on is that Blockland's community eats itself. However, I think the part they don't realize is that they themselves are a large part of that very problem.
I'm actually going to go buy the game on Steam now to give it a good review. I've been meaning to get an alt for years and the game's 67% off right now anyways.
