Also, I think I should point out that I, for one, find Minecraft's retro-style graphics to be quite endearing and beautiful.

Minecraft sucked because Notch can't work on a project without loosing intrest and barley developing it. He never thought Minecraft would be so popular. It exploded into popularity and Notch got bored of the project and barley updated it. Jeb is doing a preety decent job on updates, also I like how he's putting the game into a direction instead of adding random features like Notch.

I think the people hating on minecraft are hating it just because they think it's cool to hate something popular.

Let's get some things straight:

Notch isn't actually all that lazy. All of his vacations in 2011 were roughly the amount of vacation days that all swedes get. Swedes aren't lazy, it's just that people in the US are overworked. It's a cultural difference.

The reason that Minecraft is Mojang's only successful venture is that it's the only one so far. Scrolls hasn't come out yet, Cobalt is only published by Mojang, not made by it, and 0x10c is barely even in a playable state for the devs right now, it'll be a while before the public can play it.

Minecraft's art is stylized. Nowadays the whole "Retro Graphics" thing is played out to hell and back, but when Minecraft was first developed it wasn't stale like it is now, it was still cool back then. You can always get a texture pack if you're that whiny.

Minecraft is poorly optimized because there's a lot of stuff there, and it's coded in Java. Minecraft was never meant to be this big, and TBH they really should take a while off to work on porting it to a different language.

TL;DR cry some moar

@Cheese saying that were "hating" on it because it's popular is like saying that everyone that hates Call of Duty hates it because it's popular. Also you said we in the US are overworked. Is that true?

Thecool, there are reasons to dislike anything, but you haven't really given that many reasons that can't be shown to just be excused to whine with a couple seconds research and rational thinking.

And yes, us Americans are overworked, we don't get that much vacation time and average pay is pitiful compared to what it takes to keep up with modern society. The majority of people are thousands in debt, and they rarely ever get to stop working and just go to the beach or something, because most people only get two weeks vacation, and they want to use one week for one special occasion and use the others when they get sick but run out of sick days. Just taking a few days to recharge once in a while should not be reserved for once a year.

I think graphics do matter.

Cooler graphics provide entertainment, same as gameplay.

A game with terrible graphics and good gameplay is playable but still not as enjoyable.

And, I love Minecraft's graphics style. :l

Notch isn't lazy. Hes making updates atleast every 1 to 3 months.

If he was stupid how code he have coded the entire game?

Graphics aren't everything, but they do matter.

If you can have both (a given in the PC games I play), it's a match made in heaven.
