I think Minecraft sucks, since you need an OVERPOWERED PC to play this game!!!

Well, if you have a bad computer... then get a good one? Hating a game because it doesn't work on some computers, and not for the content, is a very invalid point.

He has a point though, Minecraft, in it's current form is very unoptimized. It is only able to use 1GB of Ram without modifications and It lags at points on my Phenom II x4 965 BE and GTX 560Ti with 8GB of system ram. Knowing that my rig is not the perfect setup (still waiting on Haswell) it should run at a stable 130 FPS based on other peoples specs, but I still drop into the 100 FPS area (BTW: I know this isn't a bad drop in FPS, just using it as an example.). My reasoning is that because the game is coded in Java that there is no true way to fully optimize the game in it's current state, although mods like Optifine do help.
I do like the game, I just see more potential in it.
EDIT: Also, on the other hand, the game plays at a stable 30 FPS on my brother Pentium D and 7600GT with 4Gb of system ram. So you don't need and over powered PC to play the game.

I have very similar specs, and I very rarely get any lag whatsoever. I'm running a Phenom II X4 955 BE (OC to 3.75GHz/core), a EVGA GTX 560Ti SC, and 6 GB of RAM. I just run mine through Spoutcraft forced to a gig of RAM.
Edit - while running stuff like browsers, music players, and XBMC in the background on my second monitor, for what it's worth.

That's the same for me now that I think about it. XBMC, Winamp, Minecraft Server, Minecraft, and about 12 tabs in firefox.
EDIT: I do still believe there is room for improvement in optimization. I'm not always running all of those programs and I still get frame drops.

I completely agree it could use some optimization, but then again, the lag I get on mine craft is about as had as the lag I get in every other game ever. I get super brief stutters in Diablo 3, amnesia, mine craft, half life 2, wow, star craft, metro 2033... the list goes on. Nothing runs perfectly 100% of the time, but as long as your hardware is decent, you're fine.
[...long quotes are long]

But the thing is, out of all the games you listed (except Minecraft of course) I only get minor lag in Diablo 3, but only when first starting the game.
EDIT: And that lag is server lag!
I've been keeping up with the changes and all that but something in the new snapshot that pisses me off is that boats drop boats when destroyed, it's more convenient but then alot less 'realistic'. I guess I won't have to carry 5000 boats with me when setting of in water xDhttp://www.reddit.co...he_next_update/
That's the list of confirmed changes for 1.3 so far.
And in the quote here is Jeb explaining why it's taking so long and why the modding API is being pushed back.

It's just a way to pick up the boat, and carrying around one boat is more realistic than as many as your inventory holds.I've been keeping up with the changes and all that but something in the new snapshot that pisses me off is that boats drop boats when destroyed, it's more convenient but then alot less 'realistic'.
