Fix MINECRAFT: Here's how

Without the risk of losing the world, the only way to "lose" is to fail so spectacularly that it's too much of a nuisance to catch back up. Bad game design.

not entirely true, there are 3 ways of losing
>falling in lava and losing all your gear
>getting lost in Nether/End and losing your home/ gear you currently have is suicide
>dying to ender dragon
if you die in a cave and cant find your way back you also lose your gear
I do agree the game is piss easy since you can just sleep every night and youll rarely run into mobs aside from caves
this is a kids game first and foremost, so lives would have to be a special gamemode

Read OP again. Falling in lava and losing gear, getting lost, or dying to the ender dragon is not "losing". You have lost items, but you haven't lost the game. What you are describing is a frustrating failure that makes the player not want to catch back up. Hardcore is the only version of minecraft where the player can actually "lose".

I died on hardcore and my character respawned in the same world lol

The vast majority of even remotely modern games don't make players restart the entire game from the beginning when they 'lose'. Why single out minecraft?

Are you playing hard or hardcore bruh?

If you think making the player restart from the beginning is unfair then fine, just implement a saving system like skyrim does. Boom, it's even more like an actual game rather than a wanderer sandbox.

Does Minecraft even have game progression? I thought it was just a themed sandbox for building blocks, and they threw in a dragon fight as a place to show off the credits.

It has very simple progression, honestly kind of hard to call it that
>Get wood, then stone, then iron
>Go to the nether, kill blazes
>Return to the overworld, kill endermen
>Find stronghold, go through portal
>Beat dragon
That is Minecraft summed up to its most necessary beats.

>spend 100 hours building/gathering shit
>get all of that taken away the second you die
Why would anybody want to play this mode?

it has an achievments list

>so I'm playing this GAME
>and it has the audacity to let me LOSE
>WAHHHHHHHH

>MASOCHISM GOOD

If you spend a lot of effort building early game and then lose, then it's your fault for not having better foresight.

The real reason is gatekeeping. They need to make it so that others will be sabotaged in their attempts to do what they're doing. They have this obsessive need to be better than anyone else. They don't see the point if anyone can achieve something because that makes them less special for doing it.

>wanting a game to be actually losable or have stakes makes you an "elitist"
you're a retard

>IT'S
>YOUR
>FAULT
There's a lot of bullshit, glitchy ways to die in Minecraft, user.

That's retarded, because then you won't be able to adjust the actual difficulty without limiting the amount of lives you have.

Ok, and it's the dev's job to fix that. It's unrelated to the main issue, and there's no denying that the majority of deaths are the player's fault through and through
Then add a different slider you mong. Not like minecraft isn't pretty much piss easy regardless.

no but wanting this mode in every game because your too big of an autistic fucking retard to realise its not that kind of game. go back to your shitty dorksewls games. i know your a shitty dorksewls fan because you stupid fucking niggers wouldn't know actual difficulty if it beat you over the head with one of your favorite games shitty 1 mechanic bosses. DURRR YOU DIE INSTANTLYSO FUN SO COOL no its not you fucking retard, tuning the damage to max so you die instantly to dumb shit is not "hard" or "hardcore" its shit gameplay design from people who don't know how to make mechanics and make bosses or monsters hard to fight based on their abilities not just raw damage.
tl;dr: fuck off retard, you dick suckers ruined the fps genera with your fake hardcore bullshit and your bound and determined to ruin more generas.

the existence of unfair deaths doesn't mean the game should be impossible to lose lmfao

>it is not enough that I succeed
>others must fail
You are an unironic, unabashed elitist. And over Minecraft of all fucking things lol.

Stop patching my argument onto random bullshit you pulled out of your ass and strawmanning user. Dark Souls is a shit game and I'll take the Zig Forums flack for that all day.
I don't want the game to be impossible or even difficult on easy settings, nor do I want everyone to be forced to play with just one life. I just want it to be possible for you to actually lose your progress if you act enough like a fucking retard. I want the player to be held accountable for their actions and actually be able to lose, like an actual video game would allow you to.
Take a minute and think about what the OP image actually implies before slamming your sweaty hands on your keyboard and embarrassing yourself in a rage.

When did I say this??? Once again you are just strawmanning. The game should have a way to fucking LOSE and you argue against it. Are you the same faggots who buy "interactive story" games where you can't lose, only make bad decisions for the game to wag a finger in your face for???

>IT'S
>YOUR
>FAULT
Why do you hold your fellow players with such disdain?

Why do you want mommy to hold your hand through games so that you can never lose you gigafaggot?

Remove hunger
There, fixed minecraft in two words

>ride horse
>horse glitches out
>suffocates
fair and balanced

>The game should have a way to fucking LOSE and you argue against it
It does. You're arguing that more people should have to use it.

Losing an entire world after dying X number of times is even more of a frustrating failure lol

Minecraft just isn't that kind of game

I never have once argued that the game doesn't have buggy or glitched deaths. but they are an outlier. This is a non-argument meme that contributes nothing
name one way that you can lose in minecraft without playing hardcore. It doesn't exist. That means that a "hardcore" mode or a mode with limited lives in general is the only way to turn it into an actual game rather than a sandbox. The argument here isn't even a big deal: the average person probably won't die 10 times in a run unless they're a tard.

They are not an outlier.

It's not a frustrating failure/setback. It's an actual loss. And a game by definition should be able to be lost
Notice how none of you have actually refuted that there's no way to lose minecraft without playing HC? Because it's objectively true. Any other type of death is just a setback.

What caused all of your pain, user?

They are you gigafaggot. They make up, on a liberal estimate, 5% of the game's deaths.

Do you have a scrap of evidence to back that up?

I’m very happy Zig Forumsedditors like yourself will never have the willpower, drive, or brains to actually make games

Dealing with retards like you who find it fun to play games where you can't lose

Loading saves upon death would possibly be less punishing than the current system where you lose xp and possibly equipment if there's lava or something.

How is having your world deleted a loss and not just a longer setback? Just make a new one. The only way to really lose is to not be allowed to play the game again.

>referencing an old shitty overrated game
ok, its not worth talking to you anymore

How come these groups of people bother you? They don't exist to cause you grief.

You lose the game session and you have to restart on a new world. That is a loss. Don't try to be a tard and say "DURR HURR IT SHOULD JUST DELETE ITSELF OFF YOUR PC TOO HUH?!!"
I don't care if people enjoy it the way it is, I just think that the game is absolutely flawed because it can't be lost. As I've stated, adding a limit to the amount of deaths you can sustain in a world would not effect most players at all. And if they really are that bad, then they can play with infinite lives on "peaceful".

I don't understand

The only way to "lose" in a lot games is to stop playing because you can always just continue from a save or whatever
How do you "lose" by this definition in another game

Minecraft was literally made by a Zig Forums user tho

Why exist to spread the hatred for peaceful players, user? Why complain so harshly? Why not live and let live? They don't threaten your favorite difficulty mode.

Way to miss the entire point of Minecraft. Yea, you can't "lose" in Minecraft, that's the point. Just like you can't "lose" in Animal Crossing. There are penalties to dieing in Minecraft but it's not a game where the point is in "winning" so there's no need for lives. It's a sandbox, you do whatever the fuck you want while trying to stay alive. The game rewards you for staying alive by letting you keep your exp so you can enchant shit to make your experience more fun, along with not having to deal with losing your inventory, far away from spawn.

Not every Game needs lives. Lives themselves are an archaic leftover from the arcade days where they would use lives to milk kids out of there money on repeat attempts of games, as well as serving to make older console games feel longer by making you restart from the beginning everytime you run out of lives.

It's obvious you don't like the core gameplay of Minecraft. So just play something else. Trying to improve the game so that it fits your specific definition of "good game design" is autistic as fuck.

By dying, which resets your progress to the beginning of the level.
