They don't need more (though that would be good too). They need to make combat not fucking dreadful. Badly designed, motherfucker.

(giggle)

Looks like I need to upgrade!

Or do less intensive shit :Y

Don't put XBMC on it, that's boring.

That's only on one SD card.  I have two more that have other OS's on it!

You want more challenge? Let's try this. Yes it's a mod but it's nicely subtle and purposeful, not just adding stuff for the sake of it.

I agree that the combat is not deep or interesting enough to carry a combat-focused game, but at the same time playing on peaceful has begun to feel sort of meaningless to me.

Fuck mods.

And aye, understand that.

I thought the main part of your argument against console gaming was that PCs encourage creativity. Surely modding is the epitomy of that?

 

Either way, watch those videos because they're funny but also because I'd quite like to do something like that. There's also a lot of videos of them playing PvP with that mod, Battle Royale style, which is even more interesting.

It is aye. I like mods existing. I've just never used an amateur-made mod that wasn't shit.

(with a few exceptions)

I shall watch those vids. After MARS.

Why don't you like mods? (most of them being shit isn't a reason - most of everything is shit).

Because they're mostly shit. But more than that I suppose I subscribe to the myth of the author (or don't, rather). I want the authoritative version. A designer has designed a thing and I want to experience that thing as they intended.

I feel a kind of purity in doing that that's lost when modding.

Also, if after doing that I decide I want to tweak things a bit, it's very very rare that someone has wanted to tweak it in the exact same/correct way.

the only minecraft mod I approve of is called "timbermod"

basically, it makes trees fall down when you chop the bottom out
which is how it should be - cos that's how trees work

WTF? By that logic, you should buy an Apple and only use Apple software. You're a nut job!

The only mod you approve of is a cheat mod? :/

No, it's specific to games. And I like that people /can/ tinker with them. I just don't want to use that. At least until I've played it vanilla.

I guess, but I don't see it as a cheat, trees should fall when you chop the trunk

You've played vanilla. Now play UHC with Oscar, Me, and whoever else.
