Think I'll have to check that out and see how it compares to the PC version I haven't touched in years. You're probably going to like it, but as others have said, the PC version is probably the way to go due to mod support and junk. I don't think the survival aspects have been touched on enough in here, but leaving those as something for new players to wander into is probably a good surprise. Also regarding tiers, it's semi-realistic, so gold is poo poo tier, on par with wood for durability. Diamond is best, hard to find though.

Regarding getting Minecraft to hold over until Destiny it will probably do that, but it's also something that can suck you in, so it might take up more time than Destiny in the long run. It's a really great game if you have a lot of free time e.g. you're a kid, unemployed, etc.

Sooo I posted in the Store thread that I tried the demo and was like... ehhh, I want to like it but I fear my availabilities (gaming in spurts and late night when I'm sleepy) because of being a dad might make this a bad deal. However, I played a little more of the demo and wandered around a bit and... like... it kinda started to sink it's hooks into me.

The question is... will I ever look at anything again for a LONG TIME (aside from Drive Club) once Destiny hits? :)

Shadow of the Colossus movie is happening, director of the visually striking horror movie "Mama" has been approached as a potential director.
I love me some Shadow of the Colossus, but what a terrible way to ruin a great story that tells itself without a word even.

Hopefully they just ruin it in such a grand scale that it doesn't resemble the game at all, Jason Statham transporting his dead wife's body in the trunk of an Audi named Argo or something.

La-Mulana is a great metroidvania, although its a lot closer to the very first metroidvania game (Legacy of the Wizard) than either metroid or castlevania.

Nah, man, Minecraft is zen as hell if you let yourself take the plunge. It really is one of those "Oh poo poo, I've been playing for four hours" kind of games, but you gotta make your own fun, whether that comes from exploring, digging through caves, or setting up a construction project for yourself.

Turns out the remake of Pathologic is coming to PS4 (assuming it reaches its kickstarter goal). It's where I'm planning to play it, so hopefully they can convert the M+K controls over pretty well.

I'll only buy that if it still has the babelfish translation and no indication of what to do or where to go like the original.

There is both an item that lets you reset your spawn point and an item that will point you towards your spawn so as long as you keep those on hand you don't have to worry about losing your sweet dong-castle.

Like posted above somewhere ,it's zen as hell and could be a nice break from the games I usually play.
The Minecraft demo is really too short if you do the full tutorial like I did.
I think I'll play this over the weekend until Destiny drops in my mailbox.

Yup, that is in. As is villager trading, abandoned mineshafts, and many other improvements. The console versions , while obviously behind the PC version, have received a ton of updates since the barebones initial launch.

I don't know what any of those things you mentioned are, that's how long it's been since I've played minecraft seriously.

It'll be a long time, but when I said long run, I meant it. Minecraft will be there when you tire of other games, and it will take hours from you, if not days, if you let it.

The guy that does the music is C418, I bought a bunch of his digital albums, the were like 5 bucks I think. I listen to them at work a lot mixed in with my other music.

Ah, here's C418's bandcamp. Looks like prices vary from 1~7 bucks, some are pay what you want even.

Yes. That's basically the premise of the whole game. You will run into pubbies but interacting with them is completely optional.

Make a squad of up to three friends, explore planets and moons, fly around, not run into obnoxious bad pubbies? 99% yes. If you enter a specific mission location (indoors areas where respawns are turned off) you and your friends will be in your own unique instance (bubble, Bungie term). Out wild in the outdoors you may see pubbies buzzing around but they're not going to be heard over voice comms or type dumb things in chat or steal kills.

You can run into other players but once you get into an actual mission area it's instanced off with your group.

You can run into pubbies in the wild but you don't have to interact with them or even hear them talk.

Play with a buddy or two. Also creative mode is fun for when you want to make giant anime pixel art or dong statues or whatever.

If you go into the game expecting RPG mode or something, you will be disappointed.

If a virtual sandbox isn't your thing, it's doubtful anything any says or suggests will help you enjoy the game. It's literally virtual Legos with a few extras added on top.
