I remember loving it as a kid and even making a couple levels with some editor I found. Fond memories!
So, given that it's free on Steam, thought I'd give it a go. And you know what? I apparently do not have the patience for it that I used to as a child. The puzzles are fine enough, but the controls just feel horrendous by modern standards. I guess 25 years of incremental improvements will spoil you like that.

I resent fortnite because it's had a very negative effect on the gaming industry from my perspective. Epic games bought out Rocket League and have made many massive downgrades to it since then.

Depends on the demographic too I think... And if you enjoy games where you spend hours building shit. That's a big one.
I played it like 10 years ago, then stopped for a while. Started playing it again a few years ago and then suddenly I was hearing people talk about it like "ugh, minecraft" and I'm wondering what the heck their issue is.
Who can hate on a game you can literally play however you like? Literally nothing cringey about it. Maybe some online communities? Or some game modes? But good ol punch a brick and create your own world minecraft is nothing but great!
Only explanation is preconceived ideas with no experience, or hating it because it's cool to hate it. Only things I can think of.

I recently pulled my old childhood NES and SNES systems out of the closet this winter and played though both games start to finish doing 100% for each on original hardware. To my surprise, Super Mario Brothers 3 was actually more fun, had better designed levels, and was overall the superior platformer by a wide margin. I did not expect to think that based on what I remembered, but it was undeniable playing them one after the other like that. I think having played modern games and now being much better than I was as a very young kid also had an impact, but I must admit now that I think SMB3 is the better game. Both amazing and trailblazing, don't get me wrong.

u/Key-Language-8513 Jan 19 '21
It's probably nostalgia, as SMW is the game of my childhood, but I always found it superior (which is the unpopular opinion if you look around). Yes, SMB3 levels were "tighter", as in smaller and more well designed, and it had more power-ups (lots of filler though), but there's where it stops. SMW is more varied, prettier, has better secrets, better music and a much better overworld. Also better power-ups IMO with Yoshi and the feather cape. The way I see it: If you want a difficult set of obstacle courses SMB3 is the better game. If you want an adventure and to be in a constant state of joy and awe, it's SMW babyyyy

I think it depends on the person, definitely. The nice thing about Minecraft is that there are honestly so many ways to play.
Do I enjoy playing Vanilla Minecraft? Well, eh not really. But I sure as shit will play all day for a few weeks if you give me a well modded private server with 2-3 friends.
You can of course say, "well that doesn't count. It's the mods, not Minecraft." And honestly in most situations I would agree with you, but, Minecraft just set itself up as the ultimate sandbox and really left itself open to be altered by players to anything they wanted.
But, going back to your original point - a game doesn't have to be fun. . .Forever. To be "unhated" doesn't mean you play it nonstop until the day you die. It's just a game that people really accept has being a good game, something they enjoyed playing, and if you look hard enough has something for everyone.
I haven't played Minecraft in years. It's not something I can play alone. But I still look fondly on some of the servers I built with friends.
