I originally started playing the game around mid or late 2012. I was just a young kid at the time, not even a teenager but heading there. When I first started playing Minecraft on my tablet, it definitely had me intrigued for it's potential as it had lots of it. But when you spend time on it more, you just find out that there is isn't that much to do and the game sometimes comes off more of a tech demo than a fully realized game. It feels empty, desolate, and just overall made me bored. I was just about to delete it until one of my friend tells me that it's gonna receive updates and so I continued playing to wait for these updates. And boy those updates was very slow but they were worth it. Everything was clicking for the game now until the updates became more or less redundant as they didn't change or add many things to the entire gameplay loop hence I just lost interest altogether and deleted it. That is until I returned because of the Minecraft movie that came out and hit waves everywhere which made me remember of that blocky game I loved playing as a kid so I finally went back because I wondered how many things have changed. Did it finally became more of what it used to be? Anyways, I used my adult money to pay for the game in both android and PC as I now go by a different account. And boy, the new Minecraft felt to me like it had finally achieved it's full potential, no more emptiness, no more desolate feel, and the game finally feels less of a tech demo and now a fully realized game.
Granted, when I first played, it was overwhelming due to the many changes, this was expected. Nether was more dangerous. Copper is actually useful. Zombies have more variety and there's a Spear now. Also I found the world just more beautiful and appealing to look at now instead of just assaulting me with boredom. It actually feels like I'm stepping out for an adventure now which got me hooked. Now before anyone say anything, I'm not saying old Minecraft was garbage, it definitely had it's charm and it laid the foundations for what Minecraft is now but it was never this perfect better game that people love to glaze. I'm all for respecting the past but there's a difference between respecting it and glorifying it. And it's pretty clear with the people making the old Minecraft better content on YT are just glorifying the old version of the game with pretentious talk and rhetorics that I honestly can't stand. I've been in some elite film snob clubs and I just realized both of them are just the same thing, those Minecraft essay videos about old Minecraft being better are just following the internet trend of "Old good, new bad." that has been plaguing everything and everywhere for countless years now. Anyways, I said my piece. Old Minecraft is good but it is not better than New Minecraft.
