Terraria is like crack but without the health risks.

[@facelessanon]

I am a game developer, and I really look up to the team of Re-Logic. Terraria is one of the games that made me want to become a gamedev in the first place and create worlds. As a young child, I played the game very simply, and even though I was playing only a small portion of the game, I had so much fun. (I never even defeated the Eye of Cthulhu and even thought that it was one of the strongest bosses). Today, I have 600+ hours in Terraria and it made the years 2020 and 2021, years which were particularly bad for many people, the happiest years of my childhood (my life does continue to be happy, but the happiness curve was extremely steep). When I played the game during long school breaks, it hits different so hard in a way that other games can't even do. And so far, I have only been talking about vanilla. I don't have much experience with mods (other than Calamity mod), but that's fine, because even the base game itself is so awesome, it brought enough joy for me. You cannot compare Terraria to Minecraft; they are two different games. And I'm pretty sure that the development of Terraria began before Minecraft, so they did not copy each other. Just because two games are similar, it does not mean that someone copied someone's homework. Both are brilliant million-dollar games but great in different ways.

[@AlexPlaysStuff-games]

I see people talking about the gameplay but nobody is going to talk about how well edited terraria trailers are O_O. ANOTHER REASON TONS OF PEOPLE TOOK TIME TO FIND IT.

[@txan7750]

[@candyandcarmel]

This game ruined my life. i convinced my best friend to get it and we did a playthrough, but that was like a year ago and he just wont stop playing it. he has around 4000 hours and doesnt want to do anything else and he's genuinely addicted. Can you make a video on how to get your friends to STOP playing terraria? please? :D

[@kearseymorton2078]

[@Niuskayz]

One thing I *love* about Terraria is the _freedom it provides._ Don't like _swords?_ Try *spears!* Don't like _spears?_ Try *YoYos!* Don't like _YoYos?_ Try *boomerangs, lances, flails!* Maybe you _don't like melee?_ Well don't worry, there's *3 other fully playable classes* to choose from each with their own *unique weapons* and forms of fighting. Be it magic staves, tomes, throwing knifes and shurikens to summoning wands and sentries, shotguns, bouncing grenades or rocket launchers, *we got all!* You can even _fight bosses in weird ways_ like *launching fireworks* at them or *setting up traps!* So you don't even have to use a weapon! It's amazing. And _this_ is *just one* of the *goods sides* of _Terraria, truly a legendary game._ I don't think I have to list another reason, I feel like the video and other commenters explained it pretty well, cheers - Niu (edit: grammar me)

[@KeodeVL]

honestly, playing thiz game with friends makes it a new experience every time and thats what i love

[@bruh-it1or]

lmao anyone who judges a game based on their skill issue is an L

[@pooppoopbutwithp-lf2ci]

Yeah tbh a lot of kids will see a game, and within like 30 secs they quit. If a game isn’t trendy or absurdly simple, they don’t care.

[@silentrider2145]

[@NoName-pl4qi]

I know this game for 10 years or something and started playing it on mobile, and now i have around 900+ hours on vannila and 450+ hours on tmodloader and ofc also played pirated version just because i wanted to play it so much on pc. Better game couldn't exist imo

[@triggerhappy4199]

13 years in this game 35k total hours across all platforms and tmodloader best 10$ I’ve ever spent no game has ever made be this addicted it’s literally become my way of life

[@MrJFL]

Replay-ability, a loving dev team and one of the best foundations for a modding community are probably my top reasons as to why. I know you elaborate on such in the vid but just to slap a bare bones definition to it. (Keep in mind I typed this up at about the 1 minute mark and yep, no surprise those are the big ones you mention too)

[@wrightr]

just here to say i love your videos, bro. anytime i'm thinking of buying a game, i first check to see if you have a video about it. like for zomboid and rimworld you sold me on them and i'm legit so glad i got them, keep it up!

[@bltelysian]

I love the concept of actually going back to areas you have already explored. The game changes entirely in hardmode, experiencing it for the first time is amazing

[@jaswanthvardireddy2243]

the first time i played terraria was on my brothers i-pod and now its my favourite game of all time also something i like about terraria is that the updates dont feel bad(if you get what i mean) and instead of me not really being bothered about new updates a start a new playthrough practically every update

[@aYtto]

700 hours and counting, and i'm going through a whole new playthrough too. and even with all that, i still come back to the wiki to learn new stuff.

[@Htiy]

I’m replaying terraria around every year its that time and its a blast as always

[@owenvogel298]

I feel like the fact that it's so hard to figure it out on your own helps a lot, you have to get into the community at least a little bit to find out how to progress at a decent pace. even experienced players learn about new things and weapons they haven't tried by interacting with each other

[@kaiotrem358]

it took me a bit to get into terraria but when i did oh boy easy top 5 favorite of all time for me

[@KaruraUmweli]

In all honesty, I downloaded this game two weeks ago and already sunk 54 hours into the game. Compared to others there's a mixed feeling of shame and confusion.

[@gabrielgarcia-et7cv]

Started playing on February and already have 500 hours

[@randomguy5638]

I started a few months ago but in my first 2-3 weeks I alr had 300 hrs

[@timb_dealer]

The only difference between Minecraft and terraria is people complaining the new Minecraft updates are modded while terraria fans are happy with whatever they get Minecraft needs to update more like terraria and plus people could just play previous versions of the game if they don’t like it

[@Vellex123]

I swear I have like 290 hours or something on the base game not even counting Tmodloader and I feel like I just blinked and started at that time

[@saycandace1341]

I actually regret playing this game so late but at the same time I'm very glad I didn't pirate the game years ago, it makes the experience magical and worth it, what I did prob respect the devs or something since I can see the hardwork and passion being put in the game

[@Klemen1x]

I was jokingly trashing this game to my friends like half a year ago about how the game's not even that good and i won't touch it again in my life, but started playing it again 2 weeks ago. I've done everything this game has to offer yet that itch to start another ranger and summoner playthrough just didn't go away.

[@SpriteCranberryReal]

What I love about this game is how the most weird things could be added and it fits in with the game. The lead dev decided to add poo blocks because of a popular Reddit post.

[@user-hf8ps6ks4t]

I would actually disagree, I think terraria is really hard to get into, you basically need the wiki to make any significant progress, That isn't to say terraria is hard, but its not beginner friendly. I think the best way to get into terraria is through friends.

[@darksidegryphon5393]

Anyone who claims to not use the wiki is either a beginner, a masochist, a veteran or a liar.

[@triggerhappy4199]

I don’t use the wiki I have become the wiki I’m a 13 year terraria veteran

[@gamesomething8505]

@@darksidegryphon5393 I started out on the xbox 360 version way back about 9 years ago without any wikis whatsoever. I'd say it made me appreciate the games pace.

[@gamesomething8505]

@user-hf8ps6ks4t I understand your opinion, but I personally often slowed the pace down and learned new mechanics of the game when I wasn't making much progress. For example trying new builds like mage or melee. The guide and the beastiary are also great for learning more about the game without the help of a wiki.

[@Urani_um]

i mean im pretty sure guide tells you most of the time

[@DovahkiinSegundo]

how to stop playing terraria: step 1: create a character in hardcore step 2: play in a master mode world, and every time you die, you create a new world and create a new character step 3: you gonna beat this in less 700 hours, so when you beat do everthing again but in for the worthy, whit master mode

[@Gatorboy5678]

I got the game on PS4 and thought it sucked. Fast forward like 5 years and I get it on my computer as well as my brother’s computer like 3 weeks ago and I have played it EVERY SINGLE DAY 😂 (Though I took a trip to Texas so I have not played it this week)

[@Splatoonspyro]

As someone who has played the game on PS4, PC and even 3ds, i can say that the console controls are iffy, PC controls very well (if you button map well, inventory is F, fight me), a d 3ds works well with its second screen even though the version is old.

[@Splatoonspyro]

How desperately i wish this game had a competitive pvp scene.like something a little more than capture the gem.

[@XxguaxinimxX.]

Great video! I also wonder why people can't stop playing TF2... 🤔

[@JuhoSprite]

I keep hearing ppl say how amazing terraria is, ive played a ton of minecraft before and am a HUGE fan of platformers so this would be a no brainer, I just somehow never got to play it. I will probably forget about it again tho and not buy it on steam cuz im broke rn. Also I love the calamity mod ost, the modding community is insane, I never got to see what its about tho.

Bro play hypixel skyblock on Minecraft far better game

[@unibrowsheepZ]

My first introduction to Terraria was when the Yogscast played it very early in its development. At that time minecraft was really popular, and Terraria was seen as just a 2D minecraft copycat. However, after that time terraria went heavy into the fantasy and even RPG elements, adding tons of bosses, exploration, and a soft class system with lots customization, proving that it was not just a minecraft rip off but was its own thing. But what I find really funny is that over the years its actually been MINECRAFT that's been looking more and more like TERRARIA, when terraria was innitially seen as a minecraft copycat. Classic case of the student surpassing the teacher. (Though if im not mistaken MC is still more popular than TER.)

I’ve just started and I don’t know what to do now.. I’ve got a starter home, 4 npcs and copper armour and a gold sword. What should I do now?

[@ooacntcaeva607]

Go mining for more gold and make some armour, then try to go for the jungle, and search for underground chests to find the boomstick(a shotgun).If you find a shinny heart take it and use it, it will increase your health, then go for the eye of cuthulhu(to summon him you need the suspicious looking eye,which is impossible not to get when searching chest for loot underground)

[@ooacntcaeva607]

And it is also good to make a gold bow, and make some special arrows by combining normal arrows(10 of them) with falling stars

[@ooacntcaeva607]

And then, if you don't know what to do, check the wiki and search for guides on what to do(they are really helpful),or go to the in game guide, by interacting with him and then pressing help, he will tell you some clues on what to do next
