What makes Terraria so good (when compared to minecraft) is the fact that it hasn't been taken over by a big company like Microsoft. The original Terraria devs get to keep making awesome updates and not worry so much about having a big company looming over their shoulders. Also, the mod-type weapons and stuff that are added to Terraria in these late updates feel natural, because Terraria has always had a variety of crazy awesome and eccentric aspects. Whereas in minecraft, things like bees and armor trims seem out of place because they are the type of thing you would see in a 2016 minecraft mod. It doesn't suit the base game of minecraft in the same way because we all know what minecraft should be like with our memories of it and nostalgia
Terraria is one of the few games whose developers aren't greedy and corrupt. They actually care about their game and the fans. They delay their updates for a long time because they want to make sure everything is finished before the update goes live, unlike all these other big games that are unfinished because of greed. The fanbase is probably the best I've ever seen, and the modding community has been amazing as well.
Yeah, Terraria is the Totally Respect and example for any indie game, No overprices, No microtransantions along the years, and actually cares about them own community.
As someone who has 3445 hours of Terraria on steam and 215 hours of Tmodloader i can say that this game is defiantly one of the best ones i've played. Like you said, its a great sandbox game with lots of variety. Dont want to kill bosses so fast? Well theres a shit tone of other things you can do like, building cool bases, fishing, making farms, collecting NPC's and messing around with items. And if you dont want to do those and your tired of killing bosses there are still more options, there's mods that make the game harder like Calamity, Thorium. You can also make challenges or goals in vanilla Terraria as well, like a thrower weapon only playthrough, or getting all the achievements. This game does what it does best and i love it, there is always something to do or achieve and thats awsome. Have a good one guys.
Unironically, if Relogic needed/wanted a Terraria update that perhaps costed $2-3, I would have 0 problem with that. Hell I'd pay for Terraria again just because I love it so much.
I was thinking the same thing lol… It’s funny how AAA game developers don’t understand that if you actually make a good game, fans will actually want to pay you.
I myself took 145 hours to beat terraria for the first time (i went in completely blind), i really just took my time beating the game, and enjoyded it a lot. 10 out of 10 game would recommend!
Hey man, I've looked through your channel and realised that you've been making videos for quite some time now. I can tell that you have potential with your editing and video style. Just keep it up man, you will be successful.
And on top of all that once you’ve beaten the game there are so many more options in playing through it again, like doing a harder game mode, or a harder character difficulty, or journey mode and making cool stuff, secret seeds, using a new class, and more. Terraria has the highest replayability of any game I’ve ever played, which is why it’s nearly impossible to become bored of it. You can tear through the game like a madman facing boss after boss, or you can stop and smell the roses making nice houses, doing fun activities like golfing and fishing, exploring, making new gear, etc. Because this game is so amazingly fun to play, that incredible amount of variety, replayability and content makes for never ending fun. I fully agree that Terraria is a masterpiece and one of the greatest games ever made
The last time I played this game was 12 years ago. Should I revisit it with mods or does the new vanilla have enough new things/changes in it that I should go through it stock first?
I'd recommend just playing the original first, the most recent 1.4 has so much content that you could spend days on it, weeks even. It is very different than what it was in 2011 so it will be like a completely different experience. Once you've defeated the final boss it can get a little stale, so at that point yes id recommend mods once you've finished the overall game progression.
One of my biggest regrets is playing it for the first time on switch after my dad got it for me from the eShop instead of PC because it basically robbed me of the first time experience with how hard the console versions are to control
I swear I spend like 5 hours in one sitting just playing on the undeluxe edition per 1 - 2 days not sure if ill have the dexterity to type after ive completed all the available classes
i agree with you otherwise but around 6:00 the point about having to rebuy the game is completely invalid, you also have to buy terraria again if you get it on console or another steam account so it's exactly the same as minecraft in that regard also the point about terraria being more free in terms of creativity and exploration is just not true (although there is more reason to explore in terraria)
I used to play minecraft and terraria religiously in the early 2010s, my computer broke so haven’t had a pc to game on in almost a decade (think it broke early 2014). Coming back to the games years later, I have no interest in minecraft as it literally feels the same with more blocks… I managed to get my old world back on terraria and it feels like a whole new game with all the new content added through the past decade… funny thing is built an i9 13900kf 4070ti rig to play demanding games but I just find myself playing terraria mainly since lol.
I love Terraria, and I really enjoyed this video. But my dude, I have bought Minecraft the exact same amount of times as I have brought Terraria - thrice! Once on my phone, once on my PC and once on my PS4. And there isn't a bunch of crap to download. Just like Terraria (PC) you download one launcher. Then you download that game on that one launcher. Woah. I love both games and for certain players they each do things better than the other that would make different people prefer one over the other. But neither are that complicated to get into and just play. The main barrier is how much more Minecraft costs, but difficulty to DL and set up? They're both simple. EDIT: All those devices that "can run Steam" are PCs. You buy Terraria once on Steam, and it works on every available Steam machine (PC). You buy Minecraft, and it is available on every PC running any OS just like Terraria. Also both games have to be downloaded on to each new computer - both launcher need to be downloaded to each new computer. You don't need to spout such weird point when there are already so many real points that make Terraria better than Minecraft. It is starting to feel like you're making stuff up about Minecraft in terms of the way it's installation and setup works so differently compared to Terraria. It isn't that different, it's just a different launcher.
The problem with installing and playing multiple big mods at the same time isn't just some bs the community made up. It's becuse they can clash a TON. Biomes can get merged in ways that make the game unbeatable, world generation can get skrewed up, and your game can just crash when you try to open up your world. But, if you have calamity/any other massive mod, and you have like 50 small mods installed, then it will be fine.
im seeing more and more of these "terraria is better than minecraft" or "terraria is one of the games of all time" also off topic, during the sequence when you are talking about how the eye of cthulhu was terrifying, I saw a star almost hit EoC but EoC was in the ground womp womp.
after having over 4500 hours on terraria and a lot of time on minecraft I can say the first minecraft playthrough does feel incredible because you have no idea whats in a cave or a chest, after one playthrough you run out of content, whereas terraria has solid progression and a lot after the first playthrough. minecraft literally has speedruns where you can get a full set of the best armor in the game in like 2 minutes, whereas terraria has actual progression and it takes hours getting the best armor. also terraria mods are just better. no debate. calamity wrath of gods is the best mod ever made trust me
I swear to God every time I see a terraria video it's always **Here iS Why TeRaRIA iS ThE Best GAmE iN ThE WoRlD** and they take any opportunity to shit on Minecraft
