This is unbelievable to me. Anyone have stats for other games to compare with? Or does the constantly-developing nature of the game set it apart?
- on_and_off 12y agoIt is a very specific game that caters to an almost abandoned niche : Minecraft is a sandbox. Unlike most other games where you either have a story driven experience, or a match focused one, Minecraft gives you a sandbox and let you build things in it. You can pretty much have an infinite game length that way. It is no wonder that it has a lot of success with kids.
- giancarlostoro 12y agoOr as me and my uncle describe it: it's like legos.
- on_and_off 12y agohaha, that's not a bad comparison ! Lego with an infinite number of blocks. Well, not infinite, only limited by your your resource grinding ability, at least if you play in adventure mode (probably the weakest part of the game btw).
