The Perfect Game - Minecraft VS Terraria 

That's actually a fantastic comparison I never thought of. You know what, you get pinned for that one.

@@SenzuMikeyeah I personally prefer terraria because I like fighting but they are designed differently. Terraria is a game for progressing and Minecraft is more simplified and you can do more building in Minecraft

Honestly I prefer terraria's building over Minecraft's

​@@ZephyrEternitysterraria is sandbox too but is 2D only

@@lucamayhem agree, you can put much more small details to your builds that fill out your base rather than in minecraft

The catchphrase of Minecraft is 'never dig straight down' yet I always end up doing so anyways.

@@SenzuMike A true gamer never stops before hitting diamond

@@SarzaelXDiamonds? I never stop until I hit bedrock.

If it's serious, I definitely agree. It's like calling Sonic 'Fast Mario'.

as a person with over 3k hours on terraria I can confirm

Minecraft doesnt have hoverboards, guns, flying eyeballs, and magic

@@Azillia Minecraft technically has magic. It has the whole enchanting and brewing system, which both are magical things. Although it doesn't have mana or magic weapons.

i hate when people say "terraria is better than minecraft". they are both good in their own ways

You do make a valid point, but at the same time, I did exactly what you did when I first played Terraria. That's why I used to disliked Terraria. It only when I returned to Terraria with the resources such as the wiki did I actually enjoy Terraria for the first time. You noted that Terraria is the type of game to be beaten at a slow pace, which I do agree with, however, that slow pacing isn't something that isn't something you compromise by looking at the Terraria wiki. For me, working towards a goal is a big part of what keeps video games fun for me, as well as being able to forging my own path just by exploring the world and coming across new abilities along the way. On the surface, Terraria seems like the perfect match for a player like me, but whenever I'd actually play Terraria, all I'd do is explore the world, get some cool items, and then stop playing the game due to sheer disinterest, sometimes even before I beat the Eye of Cthulu. With the wiki however, I'm actually given a tangible goal to achieve I simply wouldn't be given with vanilla Terraria, and I'm able to theorize what the next abilities should be in my arsenal. Yes, Terraria is a sandbox game, but not on the same level of a game like Minecraft, as Terraria is much more comparable to a Choose Your Own Adventure game. This isn't me trying to devalue or disagree with your argument, though what I am trying to claim is that playing Terraria as you did requires a very specific mindset, one that I'd wager many don't share.

I don't know anything about Terraria, I I'll look at the Wiki when I play

Yeah. that is an excellent analysis, Terraria is A Niceful Sandbox game, And you can use the sandbox factor in many ways, fishing, building ( Its have a niceful building system ), exploring or fighting with montser and bosses, But all taking a slow and good pace to enjoy more, Pples in general pretends to only focus in boss rushing, Thats why they get bored fast.

@@SenzuMike oh, i do share a similar mindset, i can only really handle minecraft creative, survival is just not for me

I mean, at least in my view, Terraria is 'too complicated'. As I mentioned in this video, it's nearly impossible to play Terraria, at least in my experience, without a walkthrough since the world is so large and there's so much to do. You have to also keep in mind that not everyone had the privilege of growing up with video games, most aren't in the "gaming fandom" like we are, so design decisions we might intrinsically understand are ones that the majority may not. All that being said, there is zero way anyone is calling Terraria too hard unless they're picking a difficulty that's too difficult for them.

Terraria isn't intuitive for new players tbf

No,anyone that disagrees with you isn't just a dumb kid. People can have different opinions

True

@@BiancaVargas-fn7go Yeah, but neither is Minecraft. Neither game is realistically possible without looking up what to do.

Hi N

I didn't scratch the surface of Minecraft either.

​@@SenzuMike you are correct in that statement but also didn't even attempt to beat terraria in any way. You did however fully beat Minecraft even though it was a speed run. I'm not besmirching anyone's opinions but do recommend you make a more in depth video showcasing all aspects of both games including building and late game. Late game is the time when terraria is the most fun and when your character really shines. Your statement in saying it isn't for casuals is most likely correct but you have to be patient to learn how to play the game. You also have to consider that terraria doesn't end after you beat the game and servers and building are a thing. Character optimizations can also provide many hours of more content. In my personal opinion coming from someone who has over 4k hours in each game terraria is a better game with the devs still adding absurd amounts of content in each update.

​@@firesteve47In the video, I already explained Terraria's core gameplay mechanics through it's more basic features, as yes, while Terraria does get more complicated and gives you far more choice on how to approach the game as you keep going, it still relies on the fundamental aspects which make the early game so good. Me speedrunning Minecraft's Survival Mode is meant to illustrate the lack of content in Minecraft, and how it's focus is on other aspects of the game, meanwhile in Terraria, I only beat the first boss to show how it's focus is on progression, and how the game is much more thought out than Minecraft. If anything, after thinking it through, I believe I showed too little of Minecraft, only showcased it's weakest aspect whereas with Terraria I showcased it's strongest.

@@SenzuMikethe first boss in terraria is no where near enough to cover the entire game, you should have at very least made it to hard mode considering that’s when the game picks up in progression again, hard mode is faster paced and you get way better items

​@@averyhall3916 I have completely beaten Terraria (with mods), all the way to Moon Lord. While I'm not saying it is the FULL Terraria experience to beat the first boss, that's not my point. The point of my statement is that in the journey to the Eye of Cthulhu, all of the core attributes which make Terraria such a good game are present.

But what about the Jenny mod?

BRO ​@@_Failed_Butler

@@_Failed_Butlermy mc opinion has been lowered

@@keywutkey lol

​​@@_Failed_Butlernow I hate Minecraft even more💀

Terraria does have mediumcore, so if you are wanting a minecraft like experience, you can play on mediumcore

Ok I respect

"more content" is a confusing phrase. you see, while terraria does have more "content" (blocks, items, creatures, enemies, etc.) , what minecraft lacks in features, it provides in experience. building a kingdom, going on an adventure, getting your first pet, raiding a challenging structure, defeating a powerful mob. even the little things like completing your first house, protecting your village from a raid or a zombie invasion, getting your ideal armour and weapon set, collecting a rare item, etc. everyu little and big thing you do in minecraft is a (atleast semi-) unique experience, which just makes you feel really attached to your world and all the mobs living in it. so yes, terraria has"more content" but minecraft has more personal experiences and adventures..

also, in minecraft you can turn on "keepInventory"

Almost everything you listed as unique experiences in minecraft are the same in terraria lol.

Yea, I completely agree with you

not biased, based

you know you can still play OG minecraft right? thats one of the unique things about minecraft. there is a built-in feature that allows you to play on previous versions.

@@Ethan_Cubed well not on bedrocks

@@clasherknife14 well tbf "og" bedrock was only one phones and so its not really that desireable

Terraria also have a niceful bulding system, theres so many creative players on the game community, i personaly prefer it because its does have a niceful building and decorating system and a better progression, it's a broader sandbox in general.

I will say that unfortunately a lot of Terraria players play like the bosses are the main focus(I mostly notice this with modded playthroughs though). They'll get a bunch of QoL mods that basically just speedrun the time between bossfights.

​​​@@enozlliks7794yeah, I'm not a big fan of most of the "qol" mods either as lot of them just skip parts of the core gameplay entirely. I'm fine with the ones like magic storage which is pretty much a necessity for larger scale mods like calamity that have a lot of items and you are like me who doesn't like to throw away anything. But some people seem to miss the point of the game. Bosses are just half of the fun, the other half is exploring world and getting stronger.

@@the_seer_0421 I'm probably not even going to use magic storage for my next Calamity playthrough. However, I am the exact opposite of a hoarder and I will sell literally anything I deem useless immediately, sometimes causing problems in the future. I like the idea of having to create an organized chest room.The only extra mods I'll probably use are Wing Slot and Auto Trash.

There is a set order if you go by the bosses you “have to defeat to continue” it is WoF, the mech bosses in any order, plantera , golem , cultist, and moon lord

@@Canderbin That's why I said "There isn't really" because the hallowed bosses are completely optional and can be fought whenever hardmode is unlocked. And yeah, sure, the mech bosses, but those aren't even fought in a specific order anyways. edit: hell my original point still stands anyways because your reply doesn't really counter anything I said

I didn’t figure out that the guide’s crafting menu didn’t just tell me how to craft in terraria until I watched a video well after my first playthrough

crepers dont destroy your items when they kill you, but yeah i know what you mean. minecraft focuses a lot on personalised experiences, so it is always sad when you lose items you worked hard for.

Creative mode, adventure maps, servers like Hypixel, if you wanna go there as well, mods which can completely transform your gaming experience. I stated within this video that Minecraft's survival mode is inferior to Terraria's, as it undoubtedly is. Beyond just the freedom aspect you brought up, Terraria also has better combat, progression, the ability to account for multiple types of player, and overall, limits it's scope as to not overwhelm the player with the sheer amount of options, or give so many that every option has numerous oversights. Trying to compare Minecraft and Terraria in this way is like saying that Super Mario Maker 2 is worse than Super Mario Bros. 3 because the campaign in Super Mario Maker 2 is worse. It just doesn't work that way. Sorry if this comment comes off as aggressive at all, I'm just tired of seeing the same few arguments again and again -_-

@@SenzuMike No, I get it. I was only talking about specifically the freedom you have in survival in particular. You can get past that barrier yourself if you're willing to go trough the hops to do so, but not everyone is. IMO Minecraft would become a better game if it just gave us multiple ways to tackle the resource issue. I mean, it kinda already have with villages, but those are arguably even more tedious than mining over and over. It's no wonder the vast majority of mods ever since the dawn of the game focused on automation.

10/10 I'm quitting Minecraft next week now.

And also torches that illuminates on hand, dont forgot that. Edit: aw, And also trees that actually falls out when you cut they down.

I've also known Terraria for years...

So if you know terraria for years so why didn't you know terraria have a hard mode character option where if you die you also lost all of your items and you have to get those items like you can get in Minecraft and what can i

I agree, I made this video to try to express that viewpoint near the end 👍

Why does a battle between two children's video games have the horniest comment section I've ever seen?

@@SenzuMike not my fault the devs added that in

you think THAT'S crazy? Wait for about 1hr40mins.

Very respectable answer

Likewise Chronon

I agree with almost all of your points, and would also like to point out the PvP scene (not just limited to combat) which Minecraft has as one of it's good aspects.

@@SenzuMike i played a few hours of terraria pvp, and its not exactly as simple as pve Im not sure how to compare it to mimecraft, minecraft has a whole other dimension to it, while terraria has accessories that can increase your movement, and at different stages of the game pvp can be different Its hard to compare since both forms of pvp are drastically different

Although i will say that landing hits in terraria doesnt feel as, rewarding If someone has a sheild that gives them resistance to knockback, sometimes its hard to tell if you hit them or not I say sometimes, there are sound effects, but your attack feels like it lacks impact Especially if your weapon peirces, ive plaued alot of pedguins terraria server, and one gameode has a weapon that peirces enemies and walls the vile thorn, its a post eye of cthulhu weapon Hitting someone with it while they have anti knockback doesnt feel as impactful compared to hitting someone in minecraft, shooting someone in mimecratt, ect. Thats just one example

I see what you mean. I myself haven't actually played Terraria PvP, so I can't speak about it's quality in comparison to Minecraft, though I feel that 3D games by default are much more suited for PvP interactions than 2D, at least in the traditional 1v1 scenario.

*huuh?*

@@Carti_the_goat0 Did you watch the video?

ngl i’d say minecraft is 9.9999999999999999999999999/10 and terraria is 10/10

I wouldn't go that far, but it's amazing how good Hypixel Skyblock is, as just a sub-game within Minecraft.

have you been on the terraria workshop? (not tmodloader)

Dryad tho….

Yes

Would you mind if you elaborated on your answer, as I understand your complaint about the resolution on the Terraria section, since I had to zoom in so much, but I am unsure of what you mean by 'Better FPS' when I have a consistent >60, the maximum FPS on RU-vid. Do you have a lower resolution on perhaps? I also do not know what you mean by 'edited cleaner' and 'had better thumbnails', as for the former, I understand somewhat, yet it's too simple of a word to state your point well enough. Would you mind pointing out certain instances of what you mean? As for the latter, I think my thumbnail on this video is actually really good, so I'll leave this one as an 'agree to disagree', unless you saw my past thumbnails on this channel, then I'd just agree.

@@SenzuMike You'd have to render the video in 60 fps, you can see at 6:25 that there's a large frame drop which I'm assuming is from your side, since the dungeon guardian causes large frame drops. If it were 60 fps like you said you would see it in the settings for your video. It also looks like you were recording from your monitor instead of the application, which can reduce frames as well. As I was saying earlier, the 6:20 mark isn't zoomed in but still looks 720p, which is definitely a recording issue since the RU-vid video is 1080p. And for thumbnails, for this one specifically you should have put a drop shadow or glow outline on the pngs you added, the Minecraft logo terraria logo, and VS image. And the other thumbnails you have are too dark, you need to add another layer and just brighten the image as a whole by color-picking a certain color, then making a brighter version of that color and drawing on the old color to brighten it up. For example your "So, Tubnet Finally Shut Down..." would be a fine thumbnail but it was clearly rendered in Minecraft, causing a dark shader on the players. You'd have to brighten this up by either rendering it in blender instead or just changing the brightness/contrast of the image.

My name is Senzu man, I like Dragon Ball.

@@SenzuMike I mean, I do too, but won't it confuse non terraria players? What if a guy watches this and then goes on thinking for the rest of his life that terraria has super sayian transformations and ki blasts?

@@xlmtap1192 Then I walk away a very happy man.

They both took the same amount of time, which I think proved my point there well

@@SenzuMikeit depends on how you play both games, really.

I think my argument at the end applies here, because I feel the exact opposite way.

Nope

Agreed, that's one of the main points I made in the video. Minecraft's progression system is above average at best.

minecraft does have events. although the Raid is the only event with a helath bar. also "wither storm"???? lol
