They spent so much on the visuals and merch that they forgot to focus on the part that actually matters... The gameplay.

Honestly, that reflects the current state of Mojang as a whole. The office grew detatched from the community. They focus too much on status, PR and other stuff, forgetting that people fell in love with the game, not the company. It doesn't stop them from making the main game slightly better sometimes, but april fools updates show us what they are actually capable of when not held back by the marketing or management.

What irks me is that Minecraft Dungeons was basically shut down just before Minecraft LIVE, while this one didn't have that yet, I was so excited for Dungeons, and I felt it retained far more of a player base, it just needed something fresh and more major in my eyes.

This game died so soon, we can call it a miscarriage

[@el-verdadero_mordecai-456]

THAT IS EVIL

[@JcFerggy]

I feel like Minecraft as a whole has failed to utilize their game as a brand to cross promote their other products. They have so many neat expansions on Bedrock utilizing other properties, but I have yet to see anything from Legends, Dungeons, or even Earth be incorporated into the main game. Imagine expanding the mobs, biomes, and blocks to reflect these new releases? Imagine coming across a Redstone Guardian and their stronghold in a similar manner to discovering an Ancient City in current Minecraft. I love the concept of there being a evil piglin mob that is exclusive to nether biomes to reflect their tribe. Introduce more structures to fight these new boss mobs. ALL of the mob variants from Earth. So many missed opportunities.

[@Ccubed92]

The game is too niche to be popular when you have more freedom in the main game

[@anty.]

They actually tried doing this with the mob vote in 2020. All the options were from legends and earth. And then they never added anything else from the spinoffs.And also the winner probably would have felt more prevalent in the game if it wasn't just a different colored squid

[@MichaelPohoreski]

100% agree. Dungeons has some _very_ cool blocks that would be awesome for building but Mojang has their head up their @$$ with *excuses like “No Furniture”* while they conveniently ignore beds. Heck, let us click on a pillow to update our spawn location and click the sheets to sleep the night away. Also give us a sleeping bag so we can sleep when we are out exploring away from our base with updating our spawn location. Devs don’t even play the game. :-/

[@PrizrakNO]

Mojang as a whole seem like an unfocused and lazy company, they have a lot of employees and resources to really make something good but they waste their time on half baked products that are left to die immediately after release to focus on new DOA games. Even with the updates to the main game they seem to struggle to add something substantial, they rather just add new micro transactions to the store and maybe a new mobs once in a while.

[@llarydeluxe]

From what I've heard, the main thing holding back Mojang is Microsoft. They're so focused on keeping the core gameplay the same that they neglect changing up the game in a significant way lately.

[@speltincorrectyl1844]

I reckon, with the main game atleast, one thing holding them all back is having to make every feature work on mobile. New features have to work on Java and bedrock, and to work on bedrock they must work on mobile. Working for a feature on mobile is, understandably very limited to working on a feature for a desktop conputer.

[@phantamanta4453]

​​@@speltincorrectyl1844 People can hate Notch (Markus Persson) as much as they want, but when he owned Mojang and Minecraft, things actually got done, and both Java and PE (Pocket Edition, IIRC, it came out in 2011, which later was renamed into Bedrock by Microsoft) were two different things and for a reason. Even Console versions of Minecraft were doing their own thing instead of staying in line with Java, or else it becomes a mess. I remember Mojang apologizing for the mob votes since we lost so many mobs from the votes and Microsoft wanting to keep Bedrock the same as Java instead of doing its own thing, is the reason why new content in Minecraft in general just suck. Minecraft went from a bunch of people adding things for fun, to meeting a quota and milking it.

[@manachromeYT]

@@phantamanta4453 1.20 was ok in my eyes as a builder. 1.21 was amazing and was the largest update since 1.16. although it did feel like it was only targeted towards content creators and map makers. Mobile isn't as bad as a holdback at this point just that their continuing to support devices that are 11 years old. personally i think any device from 2017 for mobile and earlier should be ditched and 1.22 should be the last update for the ps4 and Xbox one consuls of the game. to encourage people to buy the newer ones.

It exists though, that's all that matters. It doesn't matter whether "no one" remembers it, as long as he does.

@@Mega-Brick I agree that the term "dead game" does get old and sometimes isn't even true, but in this case Minecraft Legends is absolutely a dead game. There are quite literally only 10 people playing it right now with a 24 hr peak of 22. Monthly peak is sometimes not even in the triple digits.

[@Mega-Brick]

@@bulgslel Something cannot be dead if it was never alive, is my point. Minecraft Legends isn't dead because it _can't_ be dead; it's not even a multiplayer-centric game! It exists, time passes, and that's that. The product doesn't expire, the game doesn't die. I'm so sick of games and businesses being measured as failures because they end. _Everything_ ends. Toys R Us ran successfully for two decades or more, but it's suddenly a failure because they finally filed for bankruptcy? In that case, there are never successful businesses.

[@bulgslel]

@@Mega-Brick this is a pointless debate, so this will be my last reply, but you're taking it too literally. The product doesn't expire, but when almost no one buys it, does it really matter?

[@samexahr3326]

Minecraft spin offs are difficult. Story Mode was probably the best spin off as the story carried it. The updates were additions to the story so audances could be excited for it, even if they didn't play it. Story also creates a connection with the environment. In vanilla you make the world into your own, you get familiar with your local area which you may have plans for. Dungeons and Legends seem to both focus on combat. Dungeons had one benefit of being first in that regard. They also go into the relm of Strategy, possibly adventure. They both have story, but thats not the focus. I am guessing that dungeons was better. Talking of their focus on combat style games. Minecraft has a broud playerbase. Some have been playing for 10+ years and can barely say they've defeated the Ender Dragon. Point is, a lot of the playerbase are more creative focused. The builders and the Redstoners. Some players want a more challenging survival game, possibly the Grind. Possibly make a Life Sim and go in the opposite direction to most games in that genre. Oh yeah, I fogot about Minecraft earth...

[@jeremylakey680]

Besides uninspired game play, even just trying to queue up with a friend was impossible. It's like they didn't want us to play with our friends. Instead, it would try to auto fill lobbies with nearly completed games. So multiplayer was unplayable. And generally a live service does best when the multiplayer carries the game. But it was clear that single player mode was the focus.

[@xX-DogSama-Xx]

Personally i really liked minecraft legends. The procedural map encouraged me to come back to the story mode a couple times to try it on harder difficulties, but after that i just ran out of things to do. I think they expected the multiplayer to carry peoples attention while they worked on the lost legends but i didnt have any friends who had the game and communication is really important with strategy games like that, solo-queues and unranked matchmaking force every match to be a coinflip as to whether your team screws you or not, theres also the fact that if you DID have friends you couldnt choose what team you got placed on at launch (they might have fixed that? I dont remember). That and the fact that once you beat the campaign that's it for PvE, if you want more your only chance is to abandon your several hours of progress and start fresh. I loved the core gameplay loop, the problem i found with it was that it just didnt have enough. They could have adapted the story mode into something similar to the bloons freeplay mode where once you beat it you can continue playing knowing that it infinitely gets harder until you inevitably lose, where the fun comes in seeing how long you can last, i feel like that way i would come back more to see if i can beat my best score, learning from faults in my strategy and coming back to improve, rather than having something thats good enough to finish and calling it a day, only coming back because i feel like getting the same experience again. That and an improved matchmaking system could have gotten people to stick around long enough for them to justify fixing some of the games other faults

@@Theth3 ​ First of all, Minecraft is primarily a sandbox game and everyone has different ideas and things they want to do in the game. There have been countless custom maps, datapacks and mods made to realize these ideas. For example RTS games and dungeon crawlers have been made in Minecraft. A lot of time was spent coding and crafting these ideas with different tools in Minecraft. Custom maps and even entire servers dedicated to dungeon crawlers, for example Hypixels Dungeon Gamemode inside of their Skyblock gamemode, exists and has a huge player base. Why not realize some of these ideas in entire games, instead of built in Minecraft, to reach their full potential while establashing many links to the original Minecraft, like Minecraft Dungeons does for example?

[@StarWarsExpert_]

I really love Minecraft and RTS games and its a shame the strategy in this RTS game was so underused and not so well linked with Minecrafts sandbox aspects. I have a couple ideas as to how the game could have been more fun. It should have taken more inspiration from popular RTS games. 11:40 I think resources finding should have been more randomized and surprising similar to Siedler 4. In Siedler 4 you send out Geologists to find out which resources are where and how many of them are in each spot in the mountains. So instead of knowing where diamonds are on the map, finding diamonds would actually be a exciting and lucky feeling like in OG Minecraft. And if you needed more Gold for example, then you could have headed to a biom that generally has more of that resource like a Mesa / Badlands biome. The geologist could be replaced with a special mob to find the ores. To randomized generation of the villages: I completly agree with you, it should have been more simular to Minecraft Dungeons and MC generation. With actual roads, houses, walls and other things. Upgrading villages and actually needing to puzzle your own creative defenses for the villages, while utilizing terrain to do so, would have been nice. 16:00 Completly agree with you. To the combat: What if you actually needed to utilize different units to win the game and not just spam 1 unit? What if you had walls and you would have to put skeleton archers on them simular to stronghold? Different hordes of piglins or zombified piglins coming to attack you from north with your skeleton archers there. You realize the second wave comes from the west and you don't have enough towers there. Thus, you move your skeleton archers from the north wall to the west wall and survive the wave that way. Putting down the skeleton archers on the ground makes them too vulnerable. You could even go and make the villages more interesting. What if you had a breach in the wall, zombified piglins came in and infected a villager in the villager house, making a zombie villager. Quickly the initial zombie caused a exponential growth in zombies, thus you have to stop the infection from infecting the rest of the village. Else, you'll be overwhelmed by villager zombies simular to the game They are Billions. Heck, the game They are Billions has still 4 thousand players mostly coming from the different difficulties in the campaign levels and the USER, not some company, USER generated content on the workshop. It has so many custom levels on there, even some Tower Defense maps. And that game is from 2017 and hasn't received a huge update in a while. Yet it is doing way better than legends ever was. They should have taken more inspiration from other RTS games. In the end, I still have so many ideas for a minecraft RTS game and maybe I'll someday put some of them into reality using a custom map or mod. Minecraft legends and the concept of a minecraft RTS game has so potential, but sadly it has not been used much. If you have read this comment to the fullest, I hope you leave a reply and tell me what you think.

[@whyissd]

Enjoyed this! Commenting for engagement

[@LiLSniperOG]

you can still find the creeper mini fridge at target, at least the one near me, honestly thinking about getting it

[@tarkatta8470]

I didn't even know that Legends was a different game from dungeons...

[@blueyandicy]

i mean, doing the village defense mechanic against pillagers ALONE would have been a cool idea

[@ethangnasher3848]

This would've worked so much better if the base wasn't always on the center of the map, the bastions had some semi-randomized layout for the portal positioning and no need for mining resources yourself but use the aid of Villagers to gather resources so there's a reason why you're saving them beyond being a good guy.

[@aown]

had to sub, the jokes had me rolling 😂

[@blueyandicy]

it's crazy how I watched your OG video a year ago and nothing changed.

[@CERISTHEDEV]

In the next 2 days the game is gonna be 1 year old Yeah no one is playing this today The ven diagram of minecraft players and rts players are two unconnected circles

[@PhaxtolgiaLegacy]

As much as I enjoyed the game, its not even well designed tbh.

[@lloydmartel]

dungeons and storymode are like the 2 big guys in the thrones and legends is the small dude

[@stroyosh4670]

You’re dutch? 😮 i love your editing and jokes btw, very fun!

[@Dakr2000]

It needs to be studied how every spinoff game based on the most successful video game ever fails every time.

[@yes-d8p]

Minecraft legends was very fun when I first played it but it’s kinda boring now

[@iskamag]

I didn't even know this game existed until seeing this video.

[@freakyskull516]

when i saw the gameplay my first thought was "oh, its faster paced simpler mount and blade"

[@NathAnarchy45]

7:30 the big difference between this and pikmin: you have deadline in pikmin or else you have to restart the whole game

[@dartymissile]

The visual design is mega boring. The fights don’t look interesting, and the color palettes used don’t make it clear which unit is on/against your side

[@JonTheGeek]

3:10 "The marketplace..." Hey guys I found out why it failed.

[@artmura]

Please.... Update... Minecraft dungeons.... Please......

[@craftmastr]

If only the game wasn't fucking boring after the first hour. Just running around in a field and easily destroying bases was just not it. I barely got a damn dollar of enjoyment

[@chunkblaster]

gameplay was weak and lacked depth for an RTS and didn't utilize its 3rd person action aspect at all, it was bad and looking back a foreshadowing on how bland Homeworld 3 would be

[@jeso0135]

What miffs me about this game gettimg abandoned not even a year after is i loved this game i wanted to see more stuff added through it and it came out the day before my birthday, so i was super excited about playimg it, but now there isn't even gonna be a anniversary celebration for it and it makes me kinda sad

[@vivianbloomfield3624]

It took me a minute and a half in to realize that Minecraft Legends and Minecraft Dungeons are different things

[@BigFry9591]

Minecraft Legends just sucked. Felt like it was made for 2 year olds. The second you get into the tutorial it felt like you were being coached on your first ever videogame by Dora the Explorer. Well, at least Dora would have been unique. This game felt more like being led around by a 2 year old trying to teach you like you were also a 2 year old. The gameplay was garbage, the story was bland, and I can't even remember any of the music. I'm honestly glad it's gone.

[@orange_turtle3412]

One of the biggest mistakes of mojang’s career was thinking minecraft could work as a “series.” It was designed as a standalone game and I think it works best as one

[@SilentBeaver]

Literally just remake MCSM and give it 3 seasons for fricks sake. I JUST WANT PETRA BAAACK!!

[@jerin_dd5586]

Tbh I didn’t even realize this game released, not that I had any interest in playing in the first place.

[@creeperjo7]

Dont you just love it when they make spinoff games with cool ideas that die along with the ideas instead of just putting the ideas into the original game?

[@TEZAFIM]

playint gt with your feet earned you a sub

[@rattled6732]

When will they realize they should just make an end update instead of spin-offs

[@tromboneman78]

It seems Mojang has been trying to release spinoffs like Legends, Dungeons and Earth. But Earth was shut down a while ago, Dungeons is still up but smaller updates and then Legends dying down. An idea for a minecraft spinoff is use an exisiting minecraft world and make a full massive story mode since it seems they are putting a lot of time into spinoffs recently and less on the main game and yet the main game will always outlast the spinoffs.

[@EggsBenedict-te4nj]

Essentially what they did with Minecraft Story Mode since that was done using an existing world.

[@ajdude9]

Minecraft Legends is the most official shovelware I've ever seen.

[@antonberkbigler5759]

Idk if this is true or not but I read somewhere (the wiki I think) that the deluxe edition for the switch is about 6 gigs, while the steam version is *24 gigs* somehow. How in the hell is there such a big discrepancy? Also I specify the deluxe edition, because for whatever reason the standard edition for the switch is 7 gigs. None of this makes sense to me.

[@mushyman631]

I was actually originally gonna get Mc legends for my birthday and was incredibly excited to play it. But then after playing the game on my friend's pc, I saw it was a huge letdown and went below my expectations. It sucks because I wanted to play it so bad only to see it being not as good as I thought😐😐.
