Minecraft now has an ending

[RupeeClock]

...THEN DEAL WITH IT. Can't the fact that you've beaten the fucking impossible dragon be enough of an achievement by itself? What could possibly be given as a reward? You can already have/make any of the items in Minecraft thanks to Creative mode. There is absolutely NO reason why you would expect a prize. Minecraft isn't ruined, ITS STILL FUCKING MINECRAFT. As Rydian said, JUST IGNORE THE DAMN THING.

I'm just saying, if you do all the work and the payoff is actually something completely lame, hell, it detracts from the entire experience you just played...
Seriously it'd have been better if all that happened is you get a little crown icon on the map save. Then I wouldn't be insulted by bad poetry.

There was payoff when you played the original Minecraft? Seriously, you just built shit and defended against shit. What was the payoff, that one day your friend may see your house that you spent way too much time on, go "Wow, that's cool", and then do something else?

Most games have the payoff of personal achievement. That you honed your skills enough to defeat something large. What's the payoff of beating a Zelda game? You see an ending to a mediocre and predictable plot, it says "Game Over", and then you can play again if you want, except it's just the same game as last time except you might want to go for some bonus stuff.

I can't believe you are dissing Zelda like that. You can pretty much downgrade any game like that with those kinda thoughts.

But he has a point doesn't he?
You finish pretty much any game after a shit load of hard work and what d'you get?
The end credits.

At least Notch's are relatively amusing and some thought's gone into it.

Zelda is a fine game but has absolutely no good plot. It's predictable and recycled. It excels in gameplay and design, but Nintendo can't craft a story for shit.

 

[Rydian]

You all can just log into the fucking game and pretend that shit doesn't exist.

Now suppose you did all this stuff expecting something nice for your effort, but got treated to a rather pretentious and laughable wall of text?
Not worthwhile.

What about earthbound? Yeah, beat the final boss... and I have to go all the way back to the start? And then the credits screen... just re-shows a bunch of the pictures from scenes I've already had through the game? Waste of my time, I've already seen those scenes.

And don't even get me started on the games that just play credits as plain text scrolling by! Total waste of my time.

Come to think of it, why beat any game at all?

You have a point, although I must admit Skyward Sword is a tad different this time. I mean sure, it's still the same old "Be boy, girl gets stolen, go through various dungeons, get various relics, rescue girl, end of game" but there are a bit more significant differences. The story isn't perfect or anything, but I think it's a bit better than previous Zelda games.

On Topic: If you don't like the ending, simply don't play the OPTIONAL part of the game and continue with whatever the hell you were doing before. Minecraft isn't ruined.

Kind of off topic but still on: I totally predicted this like a few months ago, totally figured Minecraft was a dream. Heh, turns out I'm right for once.

 

[Maplemage]

There might be more endings in the future? Like you have to complete every ending in the game.

 

[DinohScene]

You still can decide on what to do with Minecraft.

Just building the fuck out of it.
RPG online on the servers.
Making it your own game.

You don't have to travel to the End and defeat the Enderdragon.

 

[Foxi4]

It was all a dream huh?

OR WAS IT? HA! Le Inception Spinning top time!

*LE GASP!*

[Sora de Eclaune]

Wait so if you go back to the End then the boss Enderdragon won't be there and you have to die to leave like before?

 

[Hadrian]

BAWWWWWWWWWW GAME GOT AN ENDING TO MAKE IT MORE LIKE AN ACTUAL GAME!! OMG MINECRAFT IS RUINED!!!1!!!

I haven't watched the ending, as I'm waiting to see it for myself when I start a new survival world in 1.9, but from what I heard, it's stupid. Either way, stop bitching about it. Minecraft is becoming more of an actual game.

It was never intended to be purely sandbox. Now all notch needs to do is make NPCs do something, fix bugs and biomes, and add some kind of crafting recipe guide for beginners (Maybe he could make it so NPCs give you blueprints for trading items to them), give the rest of the useless items (Gold nuggets for instance) a use, and I'd say Minecraft is complete (Or at least able to be called completed.

That.

Notch gave people a free title that gave them so much entertainment and they bitch about it.

MINECRAFT -> SINGLEPLAYER -> CREATE NEW WORLD -> GAME MODE: CREATIVE
HEY LOOK YOUR PROBLEMS ARE FUCKING FIXED.

On a more serious note, this is the end of an optional boss fight in an optional area you don't even need to go into.

Oh wait, that still makes it sound like I think people are bitching just to bitch...

I wonder why.

EDIT: In fact, not only is this optional, it takes a LARGE amount of specific, concentrated effort!
1 - Get a ton of ender pearls (did I mention that endermen will have double HP and less weaknesses and will dodge arrows now? So this will be even harder than it is now).
2 - Get a ton of blaze rods (a new enemy in the nether that shoots fire at you that sets you on fire, and only drops the blaze rod if YOU kill it, not a trap).
3 - Craft the ender pearls and blaze powder into eyes of ender (it's suggested you craft at least 50 or so).
4 - Use the eyes to find your way to a stronghold (they will sometimes break after flying into the sky, thus a bunch of spares).
5 - Fight your way through the stronghold until you find the portal room.
6 - Use more eyes of ender to repair the portal (thus having a large number to begin with).
7 - Go into the portal.
8 - Kill the huge-ass dragon that flies, with 200 HP, and has healing cannons that explode at you when you kill them.
9 - Jump into the portal the dragon makes when it dies to see the ending.

You all can just log into the fucking game and pretend that shit doesn't exist.

Or even better; don't play it at all!

It's not free.

 

[junkerde]

this doesnt even have a story so who gives a crap about the ending to something with no fricken story to begin with

It used to be IIRC.

Maybe there will be Boss Rush in the future?
