Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time? (lemmy.world)

Minecraft. I tried it as a teenager and didn't really "get it". Much later in life I found some friends and none of us really played the game that much so we decided to try it together and got hooked.

Whenever I play minecraft now. Either it's fully modded Minecraft with automation and stuff.

Or it's vanilla with a ton of client side mods and automating stuff through vanilla farms.

I can't help being a factorio dude.

As someone who has played Minecraft fairly consistently for the past 12 years or so, I want to ask, what is different about either yourself or the game that made you enjoy it now when you didn't before?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what do you do in the game exactly? 12 years is a long time

Not all that time was spent in the same world, but over three different creative worlds and three survival ones, online with friends. I like designing and building, both aesthetic creations and also functional ones. The game to me is all about imagination and so from that perspective it's just a sandbox that never runs out of content.
