I’ll probably watch it once, have some dumb fun watching it and move on.

Also the opening line in the new official trailer “As a child, I yearned for the mines” is just… chef’s kiss had me rolling xD

Who knows? I might get to extract some fun out of the cringe dialogue and uncanny CGI.

I don’t understand why it gets THAT much hate though, before it’s even released. Maybe it’s just the internet amplifying everything.

May be very shit opinion, feel free to disagree / attempt to correct

    I think people hate on it because it just kinda seems like a cash grab that has little to nothing to do with the game Minecraft lol

    It may also have to do with the fact that the kids who grew up playing Minecraft when it came out 13 years ago are all jaded adults now?

    I can’t really say for sure… I was 30 when Minecraft came out and never really understood it’s appeal in the first place lol I think I’m too old to have an opinion about it 🤷‍♂️

      I have a relative in his mid-30s who tried Minecraft for the first time just a few weeks ago. This week he shared screenshots of his chicken farm and a massive LOTR-inspired monument he is building.

      Nobody is too old for minecraft.

        I spent a couple of hours trying it out once and couldn’t really get into it. I’m glad your relative is enjoying it though!

      The marketing and third-party content admittedly is geared towards kids, but the game itself isn’t specifically made for them. It’s basically like Lego.
