Creativerse

Creativerse

How is this different/better than minecraft?
"Creativerse is a delightful next-generation sandbox game" is what's on the store description. From what I've seen it's basically minecraft with a different texture pack. Not so creative or "next-generation".

Have you played this game yet? There are many minecraft ripoffs out there and almost all of them are exactly what you'd expect: a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ripoff. If you think about it, there's a reason why there are still this many people playing Creativerse rather than passing it off as another ripoff. For me, my experience between the two games is like having ice cream. Think of Minecraft as your plain original vanilla ice cream. But hey, you could probably mix it up by adding a scoop of chocolate or strawberry and you'd have something else; it's still ice cream and it's still just as good. So I guess you can say that Creativerse is another flavor of ice cream that I enjoy but maybe not for everyone else. It's not the good ol' vanilla, but the flavor ain't bad either. But then again, it's 2 in the morning and I'm still drunk.

Well... it's a good thing you posted this message, it so in depth your review of of this game that more people need to read it. Are you sure you're not working for an official gaming review site? Cause omg you really need to apply for a job there.

And to think i was gone pay 60$ for this AAA looking game, but when you noted that it is only Minecraft with a texture pack....i canceled my payment on the steam shop. so yeah... Thanks again for saving me money, BTW? is there a website i can sing in to so i can read all your reviews? that way i know when not to buy free to play games that complicated texture pack with 3d graphics build from scratch on a new engine.

love to read your next review soon,

your nr1 fan

Graphics are better from what I've seen(but I understand Minecraft is keeping it like that for a reason), although I haven't played minecraft, myself, I really like this game alot. From what I understand from my daughter, there are several diffs, so if you ask me, from what I've gathered it's like Minecraft but better.
Going on the ice cream theory, vanilla with chocolate/strawberry syrup, nuts and sprinkles. :steamhappy:

I've never played Minecraft but I'll take a stab at this. I'd say the biggest difference that I know of though is about $26.95.

Minecraft is an older game, with older graphics. Minecraft has procedurely generated worlds, Creativerse doesn't (though that might be coming). Minecraft has everything made of "blocks" even the players, in Creativerse only the enviroment/world is made of blocks, the rest is normal 3D renderings.

I'd say this game is really a mixture of Minecraft and Terraria from what I've seen.

That's all I really know, I don't know what Minecraft has so it's tough for me to answer this.

Creativerse also has an emerging story line. I don't know how in depth it will be, they are being very hush hush about it.
LeakyPPverySoft Jun 8, 2016 @ 8:29pm 
♥♥♥♥ a story?
Ancyker Jun 8, 2016 @ 8:32pm 
The torn journel pages and data chips are part of it. It's pretty much all that's known about it right now.

Good to know there's people like that in this game's community, it's definitely making me not want to get it.
Neytiri Jewels Jun 8, 2016 @ 8:34pm 
just remember, it is in early release.....so expect a bug here or there (although i've only encountered 1 so far playing in the past several months)....just make sure to report them in the forums, the devs want to hear about them so they can fix them.

Says the dude who posted a clearly troll post. This is becoming pretty clear here. You're ignoring everyone telling you the differences to argue with someone, lol.

If it talks like a troll, walks like a troll, and smells like a troll, it's a troll. I'm done with you :)

you can password protect your game, you can change your chests and creatures to only respond to you, you can make it to where people that you DO allow to come in can only be guests..........there are so many things you can start with till you are comfortable with your world.......

my personal opinion, there are only a few "butts" but alot of peeps in the forum community that will help.
the game is deff worth trying :steamhappy:

If you don't want to read all this, I won't blame you. I was inspired.

I will use this argument; Creativerse is a sandbox game, yes. But to me that's as far as you should compare the 2.
Creativerse emphasizes group play with teleports, touchstones(personal teleports), blueprints, built-in Claim system etc.
It also puts a lot of importance in "Progress". Where you dig, get materials, upgrade, dig deeper, get different materials, upgrade etc.
You never upgrade in MC. You gather ressources and that's it. Upgrading is optional, even if people do usually end up in full diamond with all diamond tools. In Creativerse, you don't always -need- the best armor or tool, but you can't go past a certain point underground without upgrading your Mining Cell(glove).

Minecraft has recently'ish turned 7years old. I'd say the overworld doesn't have that many more interesting biomes, but it does have more interesting stuff happening. Be it NPC towns, temples, etc. But even with all that stuff, Minecraft totals...
About a total of 15~20 hostile mobs?
Creativerse has a similar amount, while being 5years younger with only 1 dimension. Minecraft has that many over 3 dimensions.

Now you could say; sure, but you can tame horses, cats, dogs and farm a bunch of animals in Minecraft. In Creativerse, every single creature can be your pet. And I mean your pet. You can put a hat on it, feed it, etc. And it rewards you; rather well if you give them their favorite food.

Minecraft blows Creativerse out of the water in terms of amount of blocks. Yes. But Creativerse updates on a regular basis, whereas MC updates about once a year. So for the time being, yes. Minecraft has way more diversity in colors. But MC doesn't have roof tiles(smooth slope blocks), or a good amount of patterned blocks.

Creativerse also has the ability to fully rotate every single block. If you've played MC a lot; you probably came across people asking, or even wish you could yourself; rotate the slabs so they'd be -up- against a wall. Or sideways to hide holes and things like that. Well Creativerse already has that. You hold R and rotate the block. If you want to place every single block the same way in a row, you look at the first block of many, press R once, and it will lock in that position for the next blocks. Allowing you quick-building, and not having to use weird angles to place certain blocks(like stairs) in MC.

Btw, I'm not bashing MC. I've played it since it was still in beta, no clue when, I think 4-5years ago, and I still have it, played it last month, I always return to it. But to me, it's stale. I love the game but I didn't feel like the game needed a year off to add 1 mob and some stuff to a dimension very few people went to to begin with.
I'm just giving you my opinion, as someone who's has tremedous fun on MC, and what I think of Creativerse.

I'd say Creativerse has the potential to be the next big sandbox game. I hope it becomes so, but whether or not it will is a different matter.

The only things I think Creativerse needs are;
More building blocks
More biomes
A bit more optimized here and there
Steam workshop(be it for custom blueprints or actual mods)
A rail/auto-move system

What I think MC could use;
More building power(such as rotating; placing slabs/stairs in weird positions to offer more building options)
More building blocks(or even just using blocks they already have to make stairs/slabs(clay for example))
A bit more excitement when mining
Easier multiplayer access(Creativerse, all you have to do to play with friends only is create a server and get them to join it.)

I think Creativerse is a very good game with amazing ideas/mechanics, and it will blossom into an incredible game within the next year(s) as long as the team keeps working as well as they have been on it.

I think Minecraft had blossomed into an incredible game, but they failed to keep it interesting enough over the years. Will it happen to Creativerse? I dunno. Could it? Yes; because nobody is immune to complacency, sadly.

I asked a legit question and I'm a troll, great. If I don't answer it doesn't mean I didn't read, I understand your points and I'm waiting to see more. But I guess I can't ask questions so why should I even care about this game, right?
