I'm thinking of getting Minecraft, but before I do, I want to know what I can do in it. Can I realize any artistic vision I want? Are there any limits to what I can do? Could I build the Palace of Versailles or the Empire State Building? Is building tedious or efficient? Are the pieces unlimited, or will I be encountering annoying part limits like in Halo's Forge?
Tell me all about Minecraft, anything notable that comes to mind.
Edit: I've had Minecraft 360 for nearly a year now though, this thread be old

This kind of sums it up. Not to mention Notch's been promising things that he hasn't delivered on since forever, and anything he does deliver on, he implements it in the shittiest way possible. And the Beta 1.8 adventure update took the direction Minecraft was going in, and completely turned it around, trying to make it a pseudo-RPG-Medieval-survival go-out-and-kill-this-dragon adventure quest. It's not even about exploring an unknown and unique (especially with that new world gen), yet strangely familiar and beautiful world, with a lingering, hidden sense of loneliness and despair, along with building some cool things in it. Oh, and he also dumped his shitty game onto some other guys for them to keep working on, while Notch goes of to reap the rewards and work on some other bullshit game that nobody cares about.
