I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

    Vanilla Minecraft is so boring and dull to me. The world is just so empty and there's barely anything to do. Even playing on a server with friends it gets stale in like... four days of casual gameplay.

    Yes I'm someone with 300 hours in modded minecraft shut up it's not the same!! Modded Minecraft is fun because it actually adds content and opens up a bunch of avenues to actually follow and complete goals.

    • You like automation? Install a bunch of interconnected tech mods
    • You like exploration? Install a bunch of biome mods and go looking for cool terrain or structures.
    • You like dungeon crawling and fighting bosses? Dungeon crawling mods! RPG mechanics and skills! Magic systems!
    • You like collecting animals? Oh we have so many of these mods
    • You like building? Here's furniture mods, new blocks, new types of walls, etc etc

    You like any of these things while playing vanilla Minecraft? Well unless you're into redstone contraptions or building the Sistine Chapel in creative mode you're basically shit out of luck lol

      I have maintained for years that Microsoft has ruined Minecraft and that its unplayable because they have added too much stuff to it. Like a soup that the chef keeps adding more and more ingredients into it until it becomes a deluge of flavors that don't mix

        Ehhh they have made some additions that are genuinely good. The new height additions and new cave generation is really impressive as a foundation for mods to build on and the improved swimming and water mechanics was a great engine improvement. My real problem with Microsoft's Minecraft is that they take months to a year to add additions to the game that would be a footnote in an average content mod. Like thanks for the goats that do nothing and the frogs that produce a redundant decorative light source in a way that's almost impossible to automate I guess.

          Yeah I think that's the real issue. Once a year you get, maybe, a single new biome? None of that would be particularly impressive in a mod context.

      I feel the same way. I'm way more into complicated tech builds than I am vanilla.
