Sorry, I can't answer that. I played it on the xbox one version.
0:35 is hilarious. These guys never cease to make me laugh.
I read that comment in the review and I was like... "Did we play the same game??"
There's a decent amount of content, but it certainly isn't that intense.
Pretty awesome.
I hope they bring backgrounds with transparent tiles next.
wait, there's still an embargo on destiny reviews??
I'm just giving an honest assessment on what a big company like ms would do with a huge, huge property like minecraft. Things are put into better perspective when you shareholders constantly harassing Microsoft on getting their xbox division together and make decent profits and yoy growth. If I was charged with minecraft and was leading xbox, I'd keep the game open to as many platforms as I can.
Now, I don't know their true intentions, but feel free to disagree....
For a game this expensive, you'd expect a good story.
Combat is nice, but story is pretty forgettable. I just wanted to skip the cutscenes, honestly.
I don't imagine Microsoft would screw over anyone with this purchase.
I believe their primary goal would be to get minecraft into as many hands as possible on all platforms. Minecraft generates good revenues and profits and would provide a good boost to their xbox division (possible justification to shareholders that the xbox business is good for Microsoft).
Finding new ways to minimize streaming lag to provide a good service for its userbase is desperation?
Erm, ok..
It's a blast of a game, imo.
But I'm talking from reviewer's aspects. I don't mind the content cut as much as reviewers are minding it, but reviewers generally take previous games and stack them up against the newer one.
Ah, I see.
Well, the only way I see this deal making any sense then is if Notch offered to sell his minecraft ip rights as well.
Otherwise...$2Bn just for a developer doesn't add up.
I'm sure we'll get a better picture of the final details in a while.
Update:
Ah, here -> http://www.geek.com/games/m...
Really? Which company? I don't think such an expensive deal would go through unless Microsoft got the rights to the ip as well. In several of the articles I'm reading, Microsoft is clearly acquiring the minecraft franchise with minecraft sequel comments.
Cutting out content is the worst thing you can do in a franchise... smh.
The game will keep going like it is now on all platforms with patches and updates.
However, Microsoft platforms could see exclusive content and a potential Minecraft 2 could end up exclusive on xbox, pc, and handhelds. I'm just taking a guess though.
I doubt they're going to spin it off.
The best reason ms is buying mojang is to further push minecraft's influence everywhere and to gain that additional revenue stream that minecraft produces, something that would be wise to have for the xbox division.
Well, if many people weren't aware of destiny on xbox one before, they'll sure be now.
Shouldn't the title reflect that it's only amazon charts?
It'll probably get there in terms of sales.
But gameplay wise, it feels more like borderlands to me. And destiny's pvp comes nowhere close to halo's mp.
sigh...dang it, Microsoft.
release a master chief collection themed x1 controller. If you aren't giving us a master chief x1, at least do a controller.
Open-world goodness.... Awesome.
