What is the point of this game?

**KinectFAAST** · 2011-12-04, 07:21 AM

I don't get it, is it just lego for adults?

What is the point of WoW? Just use one attack and loot corpses?
What is the point of Halo? Just shoot people and run around?

The point of the game is to create, to let your imagination run, to build, etc. Making it sound like "just like lego for adults" is an absurd point to make.

What is the point of life? You die at the end and nobody will care 100 years from now.

It's fun, that's it. You either like it or you don't.

The point of life is to make sure people still care about you 100 years from now

If Blizzard did make WoW like the normal genre of game, which is essentially just playing through the levels, and stopping once you have completed the last level (and in some games obtained various upgrades), then it wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as it has.

Some people don't care about others.

For me, the point of life is to be happy, do whatever you like but be happy.

It's the same for any videogames, have fun playing it. Even if minecraft look boring for some people, some people like it.

I had LOT of fun in minecraft, but now I don't play a lot anymore.

He looked for a point not a meaning.

The point is having fun, preferably with friends. It's reminiscent to when you were a child and your entire backyard could be a pirate-ship, a castle, a futuristic battlefield... only limited by your imagination.

Now you get it.

Nothing about Minecraft is social, dude. Not even servers are all that social - most of the time people build something on their own and then go "HAY GUYS COME SEE WHAT I MADE", that's about as social as it gets.

There's a reason Minecraft is jokingly referred to as an autism simulator.

The point is to have fun, just like everything.
