Was waiting on there to be some sort of 'game' involved. Also laziness: because I guess I have to print out a bunch of wiki recipes first, right? A sandbox worth exploring might well keep me entertained instead, so was thinking of buying it now.



Yeah, I had the wiki page on crafting open in my second monitor for the first couple weeks playing. I don't think the Terraria crafting mechanic is any better, despite what the Cables think, because you can't tell before you stand in front of the 3587 different crafting bench objects whether you have the right ingredients. So you still need the crafting wiki page for that too. But it's not so bad, in either game. MC has far fewer recipes, so . . . good and bad. Easy to remember, but I don't have twelve kinds of awesome swords. (Been playing this again too.)

The game has had a huge update in 1.8, and 1.9 promises to be as big. Then the "official release" is November 11th. So big things are on the way, which is exciting. Of course it's always buggy and retarded for a week or three after each update, but that's show biz I guess.
