Terraria - RANT!
14 years ago
In a nutshell...Terraria sucks. (TLDR at the bottom)
So.. I'm surfing steam, just checking out the deals of the day and what's new... And what do I find? Terraria. I think if they had made an attempt to be original it could have been a great concept.. Unfortunately all they did was copy what Minecraft has done and added a few things. Other then that... WTF? It's a 2D minecraft with worse graphics and a horrible attempt at being original.
A few things to note:
1. The game does employ its own graphics
2. They have made a genuine attempt to add some things to their game that minecraft does not have
3. The crafting system is easier to deal with
4. In game character customization is pretty nice to have
Now the blatant ripoff:
1. They dont even try to hide that its a ripoff. It is the exact same gameplay mechanics, except its 2D not 3D.
2. Many of the sounds are the exact same as in minecraft. Am I the only one noticing this?
3. .... LOOK AT IT! LOOK! ITS A RIPOFF!!
4. I dont really have a four, but it had to be even to settle my OCD, so.... IT STILL SUCKS!
TLDR: Terraria ripped off minecraft, changed the graphics, added a few things, and apparantly think no one is going to notice. I've started a stopwatch to when notch finds out, and mojang studios files a lawsuit.

They ain't going to file a lawsuit, but it is lulz worthy x3

I've heard it all before. Even so, there are people who find it fun, myself included. And no one who bashes the game is going to make me change my mind. :)
