Just talk about whatever game you're playin, want to play, want to buy, what you just bought - whatever.

Just a nice, lazy places to spout random crap about games.

I've been playing around on a friend's Minecraft server. It's the first time I've played the game in years, and there has been some serious feature creep in that time. That being said... I've been surprised at how much I like the new features, once I've given them a chance. Beekeeping and archaeology are ridiculous things to add on the face of it, but they are actually quite fun and satisfying, and some effort has been made to integrate them into the rest of the game. The biomes in the nether and underground add some much needed variety and reason to explore (although it's true it is at the cost of a certain austere beauty these places used to have as well). I also have to say, as someone who primarily plays the game to build stuff, I'm a big fan of a lot of the new block types. Copper makes excellent roofing, the new tree/wood types are beautiful, and there's a lot more interesting unique decorative blocks for accenting. I don't really care about the new mobs or combat stuff, but that's fine, not everything has to be for everyone, and you aren't forced to engage with them. It's heartwarming to see that the game is still good, even without the blinders of nostalgia.
