I Didn’t Hate Minecraft: Story Mode

I think the respawning rule in chapter 8 can be excused by it being a different world than the ones they've been to already. Maybe worlds without Hardcore mode rules are rarer than the ones that are Hardcore?

Am I the only one who didn’t laugh at Ruben’s death?

Just watched this video and it reminds me how much I miss playing the game. Especially after only playing part 1.

I don’t like it when people write off extended reviews as video essays. Video essays are usually deep dives into the themes of a specific piece of media, or they add new information about the specific thing that elevates how you view that specific thing. Hbomberguy’s videos are a prime example of this.

Its a great review, but a summary with interjections with what you thought of the story isn’t necessarily a video “essay”.

I love Minecraft Story Mode so much, it does so much with Minecraft. The talking animations are mediocre but fine. It's not top 3 telltale games but it's still great.

When you where talking about the game doing things based on choices you didn’t do

It wasn’t multiple play through’s it just does that

I played this game in it’s entirety on my high school iPad when it was free for a week on the App Store. I actually liked it a lot and played it a few times but I just fully remembered what happens when you said portal arc now it’s all flooding back. Yeah the portals is what made me like this game so much the dimensions in Minecraft always intrigued me and they game me the aether so I was satisfied

Did technoblade not also get be a dick to Lucas%? The only thing I remember from his playthrough was that he used Lucas as a punching bag

I know a lot of people don't like this game, but it holds a very special place in my heart. I played the Netflix version of it like 15 times over as a child without getting bored once, I'd still play it 15 times more. I know the writing and the dialogue isn't the best, but all the unique ideas it came up with while staying in the confines of vanilla Minecraft kept me super invested. The lackluster voice acting also wasn't an issue because I played it with the Turkish dub (which is admittedly better). Plus kid me had the biggest crush on Petra lmao. This game was a staple of my childhood so maybe I'm looking at it through rose coloured glasses but I just love this game so much.

I will defend this game til the day I die and you bet I'll be playing the remake 30 times over when it comes out.

guys. it says story. not plot. the plot will proceed the same. the story will not

Good video, but oh my god please sometimes just get to the point instead of adding a 100 unnecessary details about how you found footage or Ellegaard's name or something

Writer here: when you want to redeem an evil character I’d actually say that “what if they just got so stupid” is the FIRST thing you consider. At least, it is for me (it isn’t always what I go with ofc, it doesn’t always work, but it’s a treat when it does)

… Stampy’s skin IS the character from Dust… can’t tell if you knew but it made me giggle regardless

I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AGREE MCSM IS AWESOME YEAHHHHH

It’s peak

Shulkers weren’t added yet that’s why

You don’t even know WTF a barge is? Dang…

No wait I think I remember being mean to Lucas and getting that scene. I freaking swear.

Boom town was so good though, idk why but the other route was kinda boring.

Bro please review season 2, this video was super entertaining.

LONG LIVE MY LAVA HOUSE LONG LIVE LAVA KEEP WALKING

the old builders are actually a part of regular minecraft lore! They're the ones who built all the dungeons, mineshafts, temples and end cities

I remember every time in
episode one when the hoard of Zombies confronted me and Ruben I would just spam the attack button for no reason at all, but to kill the zombies

I would love to see a season 2 version of this series, this was so good and well put together, thank you

Shulkers weren't in this game because they came out in 1.9 in february 2016, a few months after story mode. So they didnt exist yet

Edit: i paused to write this comment SECONDS before you said this in the video ffs lol

Another cool thing about the 2nd part of season 1 is that in each chapter starting on chapter 5 theres a book written by Soren hidden somewhere

This series showed up in my recommended the other day, and honestly, it was really fun seeing your thoughts on Season 1. If you ever decide to change your mind and go back to do a similar series for Season 2, I'd love to see it. I have fond memories playing Season 2 and I just think the nostalgia trip would be nice. If you really wanna be done with this all though, I think I'll be satisfied with just that bit at the end talking about Season 2.

So, it IS possible to still play the full game via the disc.

I always hear that's impossible to play the full game with the disc.

Am I the only one who kinda feels like all the quick time events were really easy?

i loved mcsm since i was like 8 lmao

I LOVE YOU PETRA

If you didn’t like the action sequences very much I’d do another play through and just ignore QTE’s, I think you’d be astounded how frequently they don’t actually kill you (though the sequence you went in on with the horses are a big exception)
