I don't get it

2D Minecraft

It's for people like me who want a balance between openness and structure.

Move left or right, if you see the screen turning purple/red turn around, if you see a cave go inside, break every pot on your way, open every chest you find, equip all the stuff you find, once you die or reach hell return to spawn, chop some trees, make a couple of simple houses, place down the chests you looted and put all the shit you got in them, then go talk with the guide NPC, he can tell you all and every single recipe an item is used for and what you need to do next.

But it's more procedurally generated Castlevania with a dash of Minecraft.

Just find the apache it will carry you through the game

bloatslop for third worlders because it runs on every dogshit computer

The Terrarian is legit insane and openly evil.
>destroys the land opening a massive hole that leads to hell
>will place his allies in tiny rooms and torture/humiliate/kill them
>casually makes human sacrifices
>irreparably fucks the balance of the world
>crafts giant mechs just to kill them for his own entertainment
>summons god just to kill him for his own amusement
>genocides anything and anyone from goblins to aliens, then displays how many of them he has killed in a banner so upcoming enemies get terrified
>is evil for the sake of being evil
>when he gets bored of killing everything, he will grab his missile launcher and obliterate the planet

>>714752515 (OP)
It's the player power curve. You start with shit tools and work your way up with better stats and gear, with town building, assorted boss battles, and world events also forming the progression as well.

>>714752515 (OP)
Nothing to get.

>>714752973
you're just replacing "2D" with "castlevania" without getting any more accurate with the description
>minecraft is procedurally generated counter strike with a dash of crafting

It's the original friendslop honestly

>>714752973
The best description is its an open world, procedurally generated Metroidvania with crafting

>>714752515 (OP)
it shit thats the joke

>>714752515 (OP)
bloatslop

>>714753528
I mean , it's their fault for not selling the crafting materials. It's a service issue.

>>714753528
>hellevator
you did that, I just use the jungle
>NPC housing
you could've made proper housing for them, not the 3-wides
>casually makes human sacrifices
just the one for the Wall of Flesh, required to progress
>irreparably fucks the balance
yeah true
>crafts giant mechs just to kill them for his own entertainment
based
>summons god just to kill him for his own amusement
based
>genocides anything
they deserved it
>is evil for the sake of being evil
can you really when everything in Terraria wants to kill you and the innocent NPCs too?
>grab his missile launcher and obliterate the planet
your choice

>>714752819
came here to post this

>>714752515 (OP)
you build a cool house while your friend progresses the entire game and gives you his hand me down armor/weapons every once in a while

>>714753528
>awakens horrific evil in hell
>kills horrific evil which unleashes ancient spirits that were sealed away
>further awakens hungering creatures in a jungle and awakens ancient automatons in temples
>causes cultists to descend, their deaths bringing forth cosmic horrors to plague the land
>the deaths of those horrors causes the ultimate cosmic horror to breach dimensions in an attempt to STOP THE TERRARIAN
We are the ancient evil. We are the terror upon Terraria

>>714752515 (OP)
The developer is a military veteran, who, for whatever reason, is trying to add as much gay stuff in his game as possible

>>714752515 (OP)
>you just know

>>714752515 (OP)
I liked starbound better because they have different planets and lots of races.

>>714754195
Pure megalomania ludokino
>as a final proof of dominance, the terrarian summons all the bosses at the same and kill them all
>proceeds to use his world bending powers to summon creatures through mods then to kills them too

>>714754195
>in an attempt to STOP THE TERRARIAN
>it fails and dies in the most spectacular way possible, as if the Terrarian is making a mocking example out of him

>>714754530
The mods thing is when you know you've gone too far
>I've killed everything, I need to kill more!
>give me something harder!
Then it gets so bad it starts invading other games for further worlds to conquer

>>714754882
i know Calamity and its submods all suck ass, but WOTG (as DONUT STEEL as it is) does it the best
>God himself, yes, the man upstairs himself, comes down to try and kill you
>even rips you into a different dimension to try and even the fight


>it doesn't fucking work

>>714754882
The terrarian hunger for blood and new gear to wear never ceases to amaze me, even the eye of Cthulhu had to scape the world and will rather get enslaved by a schizophrenic slave driver than be a single more minute under the reign of terror of the terrarian.

>>714752515 (OP)
Terraria is one of the rare games that I enjoy watching other people play but don't enjoy playing myself.

What about Starbound?

>>714756285
Wasted potential: the game

>>714756285
Is shit.

>>714756285
Abandoned pile of shit made by a bunch of ideasguys. Just look up the drama history of the game and its development. Not worth anyones time playing

>>714756285
was decent at one point but then literally every update made the game worse to play

>>714756538
>>714756396
>>714756365
>>714756361
damn, shame because I like the idea of that kind of game but with travelling to different planets with your own space ship

>>714756285
More of a functional game than the final version of Cube World, which is not a high bar. It really just needed more flavor to it - races, weapons, mechanics, and world generation all. Not a shitty main quest and then a few post-update releases that are completely segregated from the main game. Astounding how one of the most ambitious mods made for Starbound actually makes this shit even more miserable to play.

Crazy to think it only ever had 2.5 years of early access when newer games since then have been in that phase for much longer.

>>714756758
Yeah, the concept of "Terraria but in space" is kino. Too bad the execution was anything but.

>>714756758
If you like that sort of thing try out No Mans Sky instead. Its like the anti Starbound in that it started out shit then became better and better with each update

>>714752515 (OP)
It began with the forging of the great rings

>>714753715
Minecraft is actually an open world Quake mod when you think about it

>>714757270
NTA but how is the overall progress curve in NMS? I imagine it's somewhat simplistic with exploring shit being the main focus

>>714752515 (OP)
pre-hardmode, its a fun cave exploring 'killing dudes' game with shit building, shit crafting and shit inventory management.

post-hardmode its a boring grindy min-max exploit-abusing slog.

Pretty much. You start off near a ruined ship and repair it. Then you keep exploring other planets in the system and then start jumping to other systems. Progression wise there are different classes of stars that need a higher level of jump drive to reach. Of course those more difficult to reach stars are more inhospitable requiring you to update your gear to be able to survive them. There is also a main quest to find out what is even going on. Without really spoiling it you eventually reach a sort of space station that has a ton of content involved with it. You can take it at your own pace and just explore to your hearts content if you like and put off the main story for later, although some missions in it unlock stuff. There is also the base building aspect, and you can link bases on different planets in different star systems together using your own Stargate like network so you once you find a cool planet you like you can settle down there as your main place. You can also hire npcs and such. Its kind of what Starbound was going for, except in full 3D

>>714753985
Exactly. GabeN save the world from gamers.

>>714757270
Yeah I know thats an option but I was hoping for something in the terraria sidescrolling style

>>714756285
A prime example of what happens when you have no vision, skill, and don't play your own game. Throughout its development, Starbound had a bunch of ideas that barely worked and lacked consistency, so overall it was more about quantity rather than quality. In the end, they cut many features and mechanics, boiling down the exploration to barren planets, annoying enemies that aren't fun to even look at, worthless loot, and forcing you to participate in its "story" that has no right to exist, especially since bosses are locked behind story progression. Building serves no purpose either, and you have to visit a ton of planets just to find new resources to build with. This is unlike Terraria with its content bloat, since most of the post-hardmode stuff kind of fits in, at least mechanically. There's also a sense of progression without working through an insufferable quest line, as you take on more challenging enemies/bosses and find or craft more powerful weapons by overcoming previous challenges found while exploring the world. Finding the resources to build with isn't as much of a chore because all of them exist in the current world (except for corruption or crimson stuff, which depends on your choice and for which you can create a new world).

There are other games out there that people have tried to make, but sadly Terraria is still the king. Eventually some day someone will probably make a scifi type game that rivals it. Who knows, the devs of Terraria might decide to do it themselves

>>714758178
terraria: space age

>>714757785
If there's incentives to network planetary bases together, then that's already much better than what Starbound did.

Honestly? Me either. Once you beat it there's fuck all to do.
>omg what if I beat cthulhu using the BEE WEAPON ONLY THIS TIME bro I am so creative and I have such an active imagination this game is literally built for sandbox imaginative enjoyers like me

>>714752515 (OP)
Terraria is one of my favourite games ever, and even I can agree it's hard to get people interested in it due to just how much is in the game. It's one of those "have the wiki open at all times" kinda games. Also the Witch Doctor is a real cutie.

>>714760718
Challenging yourself is one of the fun parts of the game. Alright this time I'm going melee only. Okay lets try a summoner build this time. Fuck mining this run, I'm going to just fish up all my ore! It has a great amount of replay value when you realize you can approach it from different ways
