GameSpot Reviews - Minecraft (PC)

[erikjsvids]

SHUT UP EVERYONE! Get a life!

[GTAROCKS123451]

A indie game with bugs well i never

[RikaHikiri]

Ok I Bet Im Gonna Get Hates For Commenting What Im Gonna Say But I Honestly Dont Like Minecraft At All I dont Get Why It Is Addicting For Many People Yes Hate Me If you Want But Im Just Saying What I Think Of The Game

[Sozile]

@RikaHikiri we can tell you hate Minecraft, and suck CoD's dick come on even look at your grammar -_-

[RikaHikiri]

@Sozile 1 Im Not From USA and 2 I Dont Play Shooters

[Sozile]

@RikaHikiri But your grammar sucks, and I guess you cannot read since I never even implied you were american. -_-

[Johanimoe]

@Sozile He simply said he didnt like the game, just because he got some bad grammar dosnt mean you should hate on him... Your the one sucking CoD's dick...

[Sozile]

@Johanimoe Jesus Christ, I swear sarcasm needs it's own font.

[RikaHikiri]

@Sozile i can read im saying the reson i have bad grammer is because im not american and let me guess ur being a D-Bag on the web only because 1 ur a nerd 2 u feel safe since were not talking in person or 3 u just want to and wanna go to hell

[Sozile]

@RikaHikiri America has nothing to do with grammar, and also I'm not being a "D-Bag" It's called sarcasm. I'm not christhian, and what does a nerd have to do with doing a joke. I also don't feel safe, because I play jokes in real life to my friends aswell.

[RikaHikiri]

@Sozile alright if it is sarcasum how would i be able to tell the differences of sarcasum or not?

[chuggacaprisunfan]

@simpleELECTRAFIN it's a indie game it's not supposed to have super amazing and if it hurts your little eyes than get a pair of glasses

[VJ1811]

real gamers knows how to enjoy good games and ignore its graphics either is good or not

totaly 10/10!

[CU2UK]

The 720p button is absolutely useless in this video!

[gameray11]

best thing is even if u watch this video in 1 pixel this will look the same

[metaknight95]

Im sick of people complaining about this game for graphics. a good game doesnt need crysis style graphics.

[GameSaw400]

@XGAMINGAU UR IN THIS1!!

[simpleELECTRIFYIN]

1/10 I HAVE SEEN BETA GRAPHICS THAN WATCHING MUPPETS! MUPPETS I SAY

[joshdx23]

@simpleELECTRIFYIN graphics don't make a game

[simpleELECTRIFYIN]

@joshdx23 it does MAKE HALF THE GAME FOR ME I CANT STAND THE SIGHT

[opticallyaustin]

10/10



[Azmah420]

10/10 is what should be up there just cause you were to lazy too search things up i mean you bought the game the littlest thing you coudve done is search it up

[keeponbricken]

8.5...I disagree! Minecraft can be a bit complicated at times, but only for a short time until you get on the wiki. and also minecraft is still being updated like evry month to add and improve to the game!

Minecraft 10/10 in my list!

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

this sounds AWESOME

i don't know if i should buy the beta though......

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

@ShamanTheHedgehog oh wait it's finished now???? oh shit! time to buy!!!!

[IceeyProductions]

They should make the survival mode more intense... Like if you don't make a shelter for the night, you will die either way, if you kill your enemies or not. And not so easy. Like when I got to the level 30, I could take any monster.

I would like that my fort is the only safe place for me on the planet.

One thing that the should do is that they put giant monsters. Like remember in spore, when you go too far in the water, the sea monster eats you.. So something like that :D

[harrihu]

Though this is my all time favorite game I have to agree with the 8.5 rating. There are a few things MineCraft still needs and it's not like other normal games.

[mattyspon164]

8.5? its not a bad rating but minecraft deserves better like 9.5 as in awesome if i done a review i would give it 9.5 the other 5 would be because i haven't seen it finished yet try giving it another review when its more updated and then see what u think of it

[shadowman222222]

i agree wit the rating

[Henriquevt98]

Terrible music.

[TBH717]

@Henriquevt98 LOL.

[OpForza]

I finally understand this game. Still think it's 0/10

[OMGCREEPERLOL]

@OpForza .__________. minecraft ownz

[FuckThePoliceBB]

Omg , so stupid -.-'

[TBH717]

@FuckThePoliceBB What is?

[eiroight]

its like virtual lego

[teamamericaworldpoli]

@BloodPump would it help if i said im sorry? ;)

[jsox411]

8.5?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[teamamericaworldpoli]

By the way in response to my other comment i believe they may have edited it out but back when i posted my other comment the reviewer says in the video "minecraft gets a 10/10" while on the screen it says 8.5

[destr0lockk]

@angadmishr I didn't spell "you're" wrong, I just didn't put an apostrophe, that's not misspelling a word.

[SuperWienerman]

Incase anyones wondering, My sole intention was to get Gamespot to say "Wiener" in one of their vids. That wasnt my real account, hell, this isn't even my real youtube account, I made it to troll. Btw Nice Review.

[FreshItProductions]

If you consider yourself to have a low I.Q. and are having trouble grasping the basic elements of the fantastic gaming experience that is Minecraft then our tutorial videos are just for what you're looking for.

Stupid people require assistance too and we aim to provide that service. To see what the fuck I'm on about you should click on our channel. When you're there you may as well hit subscribe as well because well ... why the fuck not.

Thank you for your time and/or attention.

[heyja9]

@FreshItProductions Wow your a huge asshole.

[FreshItProductions]

@heyja9 Hey man, just saw your comment on our channel and I do appreciate the advice (not sarcasm) but you have to understand that we're completely not being serious. If you watched any of the tutorial videos or read any of their descriptions you'd see that we are the one's who are acting like fucking idiots and its all for a bit of fun really.

[FreshItProductions]

@FreshItProductions Sorry if you got offended by our comments but they're just jokes and everything we comment on is basically completely not serious. I thought it would be a bit more of an attention grabber than the usual 'PLEASE LOOK AT MY CHANNEL' that everyone posts, and again the reason I keep mentioning the I.Q. is because we're actually the ones who are stupid.

[FreshItProductions]

@FreshItProductions Anyways, thank you for your concern and I hope that helped clear things up. If you want you can take a look at some of our stuff to see what I mean, but seeing as you didn't enjoy the sense of humour here I wouldn't recommend it haha.

have a nice day,

PEACE

[PokehGeek317]

i don't understand any of the comments! :O

[killdeslm]

dudes! hot dayum thats some good mofon shit right there

[trent20817]

i haven't played since it first went into beta and i am so lost now with all the new additions.

[MrTHECLASSICPRO]

What is the best computer for playin' minecraft i have a macbook and i can't play without lag

[TheDARIEN54321]

@MrTHECLASSICPRO Yes.

[Jessmo312]

@MrTHECLASSICPRO any pc that isnt a netbook or a mac book almost any laptop or desktop will run it

[JOSHDL13]

Would a 4gb ram comp be able to play this (I know nothing about computers)

[Talon3000]

@JOSHDL13 yes.

[Boonshniggle]

8.5? way too high...more like a 7 I would say. Don't get me wrong, I'm a minecraft fanboy and it's probably what I play more then anything. But reality is that outside of building and mining, the rest of the game is lackluster at best. Personally I feel that if the devs from minecraft and terraria got together and took all the best things from both games and made a new one, THAT would be an 8-10 scoring game. Otherwise each game is only half way to where it should be if u ask me, my opinion.

[FriedChickenScatch]

They say no flaws, and then give it an 8.5... Wtf

[SteamMonkey115]

The two top comments don't even play Minecraft nor can call themselves fans.

[GODismyPENIS]

This is the shittiest shit box of a game

[SteamMonkey115]

@GODismyPENIS trolling huh?

[evilranga227]

haha i go to school with Wienerman lolz

[destr0lockk]

@teamamericaworldpoli Your calling people retarded but you spelled "retarded" wrong.

[teamamericaworldpoli]

@destr0lockk oh well... thats the internet for ya get used to it

[EggmanJunior]

@destr0lockk You spelled You're wrong...DERP.

[Carmiquez]

...? What is all this fuss about 10/10? It got an 8.5! ...? Did they change the score or something?

[Yuvilastor]

LOL I wish minecraft really had music like this.

[rbc13183]

Despite how awesome this game is, 8.5 is a very realistic score for Minecraft. Very good and balanced review, IMO.

[Justsomeperson660]

Wiener man!? Haha. 

[ZeeM]

If you think it deserves 10/10, you're basically saying its already perfect and Mojang can stop making any updates for the game.

Yeah, I knew you wouldn't be so certain now.

[SossarHatarSverige]

What is the name of this song played in this video, it's great!

Thanks for any answers!

[Emrekpelmu]

Hmmm....18/10 definitely

[dohgameman676]

I used to play Minecraft, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[savage2833]

@dohgameman676 so lame

[MrJaimexD]

So minecraft gets a 10/10 and Skyrim gets a 9/10? BS

[thekk2007]

@MrJaimexD it got 8.5 you retard hahahaa

[wmehal]

@MrJaimexD I believe it got an 8.5 out of 10.

...

[Cinimod237]

@MrJaimexD umm it got an 8.5...

[midgetwars1]

@MrJaimexD It just proves to you who gamespot are mores scared of: Minecraft community or Elder SCrolls

[StudioSloppy]

@MrJaimexD dont forget skyward sword with a 7.5...

[Flingyding]

@MrJaimexD IT GOT 8.5!

[GreenInvaders]

@MrJaimexD minecraft didn't get a 10/10

[4ingP]

@MrJaimexD Yeah, Skyrim should have gotten a 7.

[The2WiseMiners]

@MrJaimexD Skyrim is terrible

[raytenana]

@MrJaimexD I know im gonna get a vast amount of hate for this but... Skyrim wasn't all that good it was quite a let down.

[TBH717]

@MrJaimexD It didn't get a 10/10. Dumb-ass.

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@MrJaimexD

maybe because MC can use a TES mod?

[daavis2503]

8.5 wtf gamespot your gay only cod that shit gta 4 u gave 10? Its unplayeble

[ImThatRussianGuy]

GTA 4 and Call of Duty are not even in the same genre, different genre, different ratings. 8.5 is a bad score? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? The reviewer said it was great!

[D3admaus]

9 maybe,needs more work.

[minecraftterraria123]

ill give 11

[MediaMeandyou]

9.5 is really what it should get

[MrOlliguitar]

@MediaMeandyou with all the bugs, npc's that are just pointless, absolutely no a.i.? no sir, 8.5 is a great score and absolutely the maximum it possibly deserves. if you review it as a fanboy, yea maybe it would get a better score, but as a REAL reviewer, no. it's still so unfinished.

[bombersaur1]

9.5

[MarsJamesNG]

in my opinion a game can NEVER optain a 10. because to get 10 it has to be perfect NO bugs NO flaws and NOTHING about it can be bad. giving 10 is just not pausible!!!!

[TSPURSBOSS]

@MarsJamesNG

We will pursue our lifes for perfection, nothing will ever be perfect, but in the process, we will achieve greatness.

[polski12200]

can u please make a tutorial on how to make a server or play online please

[lasteve99]

1:33 that creeper looks like a penis

[DreyfussFUBAR]

Gamespot is a view whore LMOA

[yngv1]

I would really like to see Minecraft reviewed by someone who has never ever played it, because I have the feeling that if you've been playing since beta, your opinion of the final version is distorted.

[ARAFELI]

@yngv1 i never played it :P

[yngv1]

@ARAFELI Review it! :D

[Ecocide112]

IT does NOT deserve a 10. or a 8.5.

Im a huge fan of minecraft, but people need to look at it in the same way they look at other games. theres so many half assed features.. really, 1.5 away from PERFECT... i wouldent even give skyrim a 10 and skyrim slaps all over this game as far as anything is concerned...

[KickSumAssProduction]

7.5

+ Gameplay

+ Survival

+ Multiplayer

- Glitches

- Unfinished

- Hardware Requirements

[hardcoreLazors]

@KickSumAssProduction Hardware Requirements? You only need a decent laptop to run it on high settings....

[manhunt48]

@KickSumAssProduction Srsly? hardware requirements?. . . I've yet to come across a single PC that can't play it. anything from 2003 > is enough,

[Gyzyh]

fuck people who curse at the graphics, it was intended that way and you can download other textures anyway, if you dont like the simplicity

[1977england]

Looks absolutely ancient in terms of graphics. Waste of life playing this.

[allgeeksunited]

Everyone talks about the review itself when i wonder "why the hell is his name Wienerman?"

[bushyboi2k9]

the game doesn't feel finished and the final ending seems like it was made by a 7 year old... i would have given it maybe 6-7/10 

[blackhawke5]

gamespot and other game reviewing company's should release tutorials on how to create a server on minecraft

[redshift912]

you use leveling for enchanting..ehh..this was a crappy review.he didnt know how to play the game.btw..you dont use wood in a stove when you have coal...dummy

[y512516]

guys

who cares about the score

Minecraft is a great game

as long as you enjoy is , isn't that enough ?

[xXTraceurwillXx]

As he said, you get out what you put in, minecraft deserves a 10/10 due the ability to allow players to do whatever they want, it even has a complete logic system with redstone and the mods created by some people are amazing, I mean look at buildcraft, industrialcraft, mo creatures, redpower, they are all amazing mods that just make minecraft even better :)

[MushroomMashr]

fuck, it's so tempting to open Minecraft now, but I have no time D:

[MDynamite89]

8.5 fuck GAMESPOT

[Catmangamer]

@MDynamite89

Bring on the crybaby additude.

[headfirst10153]

I am a HUGE fan of minecraft, but it DOES NOT deserve 10/10. There are still game crippling bugs and lag spikes, POINTLESS villagers, etc.

[redshift912]

@headfirst10153 lag spikes?i have never had one.maybe you should get a good pc

[HardGameProductions]

@headfirst10153 But the bugs make it even funnier!

[lbgundead]

@headfirst10153 I agree that some people seem so blinded by how much fun they have that they give a 10/10 but the game still has problems like no tutorial and many bugs.

[H3LLK3RN]

@headfirst10153 Indeed, those villagers should do something

[D3admaus]

@headfirst10153 No official server...



[jsw95joshi]

@headfirst10153 yes Notch said the villages will havea point later in thr game. And it only lags if you havea fucking shit PC. And bug get sorted out in time like every game, So your comment was pointless.

[LEGOdude5715]

@headfirst10153 I heard the villages will have some sort of trading system. (Finally)

[Flingyding]

@headfirst10153 It got 8.5.

[mrzozelowh]

@headfirst10153 Game-crippling bugs? I've yet to come across any bugs at all sans my custom server, but it's modifed, so that's to be expected.

[Raynsideways]

@headfirst10153 8.5 out of 10. I don't know where on earth you got the 10/10 from.

[SteamMonkey115]

@headfirst10153 lag spikes? Get a better computer.

[SteamMonkey115]

@headfirst10153 10/10? YOu are fucking retarded.

[usyflad]

It's not a hefty learning curve. It took me like 2 minutes to get a basic idea of everything. Then there's always the minecraft wiki :D

[MrBrostradamus]

Great game but definitely not for everyone 8.5 is fair to me.

[AKidNamedJamcow]

5.0/10.0 is way more realistic

[AudioBox145]

WTF 8.5 my ass minecraft deserves a 10/10

[link5427yum]

@AudioBox145 Hate out of 10

[FaTalCataclysm]

He used wood when he had coal... WHY

[Luigi4evernevermario]

@FaTalCataclysm Charcoal is renewable. Coal is not. Make a three farm for charcoal, you have coal forever as long as you keep planting.

[coolyan99]

10/10 not less

[Judahmangi]

The explanation for crafting is that you "draw" the item.

[PiFaceCanFlick]

Wow, the Review is Awesome!

More good news, Less bad news

[Jspartan88]

I built a house out of dirt.

[deathdanny134]

i play minecraft instead of doing my homework and i do it at the last second YEAH its addicting

[AlphaStrikeSquadron]

Whats the song in the review?

[stacecil11]

10

[TheJamon79]

Minecraft is the best game ever made! It deserves more than an 8.5!!

[TBH717]

@TheJamon79 He justified each and every one of his reasons. Why do people only pay attention to the score?

[redshift912]

@TBH717 multiplayer is as easy as copy and pasting an ip .no additional downloads.his reasons arent justified .maybe you would understand this if you played the game

[TBH717]

@redshift912 I play the game dumb-ass, but setting up a match isn't as easy is what he said, one party has to do it, the other has to find the I.P., copy it, enter it, and deal with the lag. You're saying the game doesn't deserve points off because NPC villages have no purpose? And animal breeding is half assed? Or because the game has NO in game information at all to help you? Stop being such a fanboy and open your fucking ears.

[DecReP1T0]

i'd like to see one real discussion about this game that isn't about who "made" the game, i mean... WHO CARES? the only ones that should are that guy notch and mojang group or w/e, seriously you people are dumb... geez

[DecReP1T0]

still have MC on my PC but i don't play anymore because it got a little boring, the sense of loneliness in the game can be overwhelming at certain point, and since the multiplayer isn't exactly integrated into the game, i find quite troubling to set it for multiplayer mode, why don't they put officially an online multiplayer mode to the game? i think it'd be far more interesting and appealing to other gamers out there, i'd like to play with buddies without so much trouble =/

[redshift912]

@DecReP1T0 you dont know how to use multiplayer. just copy and paste ips from multiplayer lists online and play..its very easy

[babx13]

i love how people think either notch is the sole creator of minecraft or they believe mojang is the sole creator....people, Notch created minecraft but started up mojang because he needed help making the minecraft we play today

[romanobritish]

Minecraft is not a game I would play it is boring but if it makes people happy and it doesn't matter that the graphics are low. They are just having fun.

[megoaround]

WELL SAID

[SpiderMagic123]

Wait, the experience doesn't do anything? It's for enchanting items.

[rawnzii]

lol @ 1:15 "footage courtesy of wienerman"

[unprofessionalvids]

BORING.. sorry I prefer real games.. Like Mario, Sonic and Rayman

[amazingfabs]

I don't get it... I JUST DON'T GET IT... I watched in 720p and it still looks atrocious.

[evilmarc]

@amazingfabs It isn't about the looks but gameplay. Play what you'd like to play. Minecraft is a sandbox. Creativity!

[ocdoman]

@amazingfabs if you have never played it before you have no idea! this game is amazing

[redshift912]

@amazingfabs just play it.its free to try.games dont always need good graphics.play and you will see.

[ReachForTheHalo]

Have GameSpot changed their max rating to 8.5?

[gaingannamorte]

8.5?

[ColossalM]

@gaingannamorte There's still tons of problems with the game, even after having 2 years of beta. I don't see why Notch gets a free pass.
