Why I Hate Minecraft

Every freaking gaming channel I subscribed to on YouTube has at least one series dedicated, and if not has completely converted their channel to Minecraft. It's all people do now. If I wanted to subscribe to a Minecraft channel, I would've gone to any other channel on YouTube, because any other one will most likely have Minecraft videos on it!
Seriously, you're not being original by posting your "adventures" in Minecraft! It's just getting repetitive and annoying!

*ahem*

Thoughts?

I don't really like minecraft either, but my friend from CA also stopped making CA videos and started making a ton of MC ones

Not trying to persuade you to give Minecraft another go, but if you find that it's 'repetitive and boring', then there's not enough creativity in the air. Certainly, some aspects of Minecraft can get bothersome, but there is almost always a modification that can help ease the irritation.

I don't play minecraft as much anymore, but I still watch videos from some channels that aren't 'Let's Play!' styled. I particularly enjoy the Yogscast because they don't have 'Let's Play!' styled videos.

Either way, it's not my business to butt into your preferences, but try to stay a little open-minded when trying new things.

Did you know that most game channels have different series for each game? For instance you can subscribe to the Black Ops series and not get Minecraft related suggestions. I think you just came here to flame Minecraft, nothing else.

Also, WoW is dead repetitive. Seriously, I can't think of any PC game that's not repetitive...

[quote=TheOrange]Team Fortress 2
Portal 2
Terraria
World of Warcraft (well, most of the time)
Half Life series

Either way, my complaint isn't about the game itself. Read my post.

@Concrete It's just that I enjoyed their videos, and I think it's a shame that they're doing this.[/quote]

Team Fortress 2: Kill people over and over again.
Portal 2: Use portals to solve puzzles over and over again.
Terraria: Never heard of it.
WoW: Upgrade gear to kill monsters to get more gear to kill better monsters.
Half Life: Kill things over and over again.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love Portal, I'm thinking of playing TF2, I respect HL, but I've never played it. The only one I don't like is WoW because I like MS more, but do you see my point? All games are repetitive in nature. At least in Minecraft, you may just place blocks down, but you do it whichever way you want. Its about creativity, the ability to make something. That's why I love it so much.

Terraria... if that's not repetitive...

And the only reason portal isn't repetitive is because it has an hour long campaign

Mods will always be mods. Minecraft itself is the basis for creativity and the whole point of the game.

I think the TS is in denial about repetition.
Besides what channels are you talking about? With all the channels I'm subscribed to I never see minecraft videos anymore.

Minecraft is the only game where you never feel "finished." That's what most people play for (myself included). If you look past the immense amount of mining and learn to do the crafting, it'll be much more fun.

Of course, you could also just ditch the game for FPS.

[quote=Firemonus2]Minecraft is meant for you to explore and have fun and create things. It's only repetitive and boring because you're not expanding your variety amongst the game for different choices of things you can build,construct, or simple redstone mechanics. Before calling a game redundant and repetitive , be sure to cover ALL aspects that the game can possible give, then come back.[/quote]

Exactly, you're just not being creative if you think it's boring. It, in theory, cannot be boring itself, because it does not drive from itself, it drives from the player. It's like complaining a car won't go when you're not even stepping on the pedal.

They're doing it because they believe they can jump on the "MineCraft Lets Play" wagon and get big. [Which makes sense considering how many times a MineCraft video has gotten in the top 100 most viewed daily.] I can only imagine this happening for smaller channels and the only reason they might continue is because they have gotten positive feedback on it. So logically they would continue. If you don't like it then don't watch it or don't subscribe. Don't ruin it for those who do want to watch their videos.

[quote=Metalingus]Chances are they like Minecraft which is why they are commentating while playing it. If they didn't like Minecraft then they wouldn't make as much Minecraft videos.

[quote=FeelingFropp]A lot of people like Minecraft too. When I found Seananners Minecraft vids, I was really happy about it; he's one of my favourite narrators and to listen to him talk about Minecraft is very nice. It's a very small amount of subscribers that don't want to see Minecraft vids. Maybe you can just filter through them when they get into your sub box?[/quote]

But honestly, why can't they go to any other channel? Why does every single channel have to do Minecraft? Can't they do something more original?

*Open video*
*Do something in new tab*

You avoid the gameplay and get the commentary, if you enjoy the peoples videos should you enjoy the commentary, or the game? Commentary, as the game is a backdrop. Unless they're talking abut the gameplay, then you should just wait till they post videos you want to see. Problem = solved.

It's just that their Minecraft videos are boring. It's the same thing over and over. I'd be fine with one or two videos of it, but really?

TF2: Pick a class, run around in a set number of game types... leads to repetition

I think you're missing the point. It's like this:
1. I like a gaming channel
2. I subscribe
3. They start making Minecraft videos
4. Disappointed, because I enjoyed watching their old videos
5. Unsubscribes
6. Goes to a new gaming channel
7. Repeat
