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. Feels like it was passed over for this, only for this to be dumped too

[@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. :-/

Rest in peace Minecraft Dungeons, we hope (even if extremely unlikely) you return one day.

[@StarWarsExpert_]

10:45 in theory, random generation of maps allows for more replayability since you can have unlimited amount of maps, which means each match is a different experience. And in theory you would have to adapt to each map differently. RTS Games like War Selection do random generated maps and make each match slightly different.

[@Dantonfall]

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

[@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...

[@andreiagosto7039]

I feel like if Legends was a pure rts game instead of having the player avatar aspect, maybe it would play and sell a lot better.

[@D_Dupa]

This makes me so sad… Thousands of man hours from dozens of supremely talented artists just wasted. My little brother loves Minecraft. He got a Legends lego set for his birthday, and he loved it.

Been playing Pikmin since I was a kid, huge fan of the series. I saw this game as a huge opportunity for me to spend some time while waiting for the release of Pikmin 4. Only after playing it for 3 days, I gave up on it; never looked back and instead had a great time playing Pikmin 4. Good thing I didn’t actually bought it, you could play it with Xbox game pass.

Why can’t they just update the original game instead of making these pointless spinoffs. Oh! I get it! 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💸💸💸💸💵💵💸💵💵

[@FierceDIO]

I really don't know why they keep trying to make Minecraft into a franchise. They probably already make enough money from Bedrock marketplace so why don't they just focus their development team on the main game instead these weird spin-offs no one plays. Maybe then they'd be able to add more than one lackluster mob every update. And while they're at it, just bring back console and pocket editions, Bedrock having to work on mobile while having the same updates as Java is constantly holding the game back and console editions were just awesome.

[@acoolcat.]

​@FierceDIO 4J did such a good job with the console editions, if they got more funding they probably would've done a lot more enhancing with the editions. But microsoft really wanted to take minecraft for itself with bedrock

[@Theth3]

@@StarWarsExpert_ Give me a good reason why it’s not.

[@StarWarsExpert_]

@@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?

It was dead the moment they attached the name Minecraft to it, the idea of the gameplay is very interesting but they had to shoehorn minecraft into it, which meant making it simpler, and less satisfying, if they had expanded on the concept and didn't dedicate so much time to the minecraft part, and more on the gameplay part, it would have had a chance to develop at least a dedicated community even if not too big, but they sold 3 million copies, they made their money, so they don't give a shit, they will just keep doing it, because it's easier than making an actual game

[@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

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.

[@stargazer-elite]

Legends suffered from a similar fate as dungeons in the fact that its base campaign was extremely short, but it failed unlike dungeons because it never got the proper updates and DLC it needed

[@Mojomanmax123]

I worked at house of how for the on the development of the dlc myths it was kind of a nightmare to work on that project, we were given very little direction and limited support from the main developers. we had to figure out how to mod the game with zero tools without understanding how the base game worked at all lol.

[@insertenombreaqui7711]

Minecraft dungeons had a great opportunity to continue existing, perhaps with more DLCs, with respect to each new update of vanilla Minecraft, and it would have given a lot to talk about (And sell), but they decided to do a facelift with legends, which I speculated was an attempt to sell a large amount of content again and it turned out very badly.

I dont get why it has to be MINECRAFT specifically, trying to make it anything other than a sandbox has never worked.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

Unfortunately they can't. From what I've heard it's in limbo after telltale went under. And Mojang didn't get the rights before then, so it's in this weird spot of no one owning it.

This game should have just been a Dynasty Warrior styles power fantasy simulator

Minecraft legends was a still birth

I loved the game, but I think Minecraft:Dungeons and storymode is better.

[@dragonkingofthestars]

minecraft is the most sold game? Wow I thought that was still Tetris.

[@bobfiddledoodle824]

Instead of spin off games they need to focus and fund the main game

[@alexandertodorov6373]

Not a bad concept, but poor execution! Also, it was crazy expensive for such a small and repetitive game! No bad feelings though...

Dead game or not, this video makes me really want to go snag a copy on the switch. Probably will honestly.
