Tbh Minecraft legends looks so similar to Minecraft dungeons.
I miss Minecraft Dungeons
@@Woodman3not really
A lot of people got more hours out of it bc on console there are achievements/trophies so people would at least finish the game, also you forgot about things like the acient hunts wich added more replayability than the tower,also your explanation of the tower is horrible, i'm not saying the tower is good but you make it sound like the woret thing ever, the point of not using your gear is to be like a roguelike, also most of the gear you use in the tower isn't that good so unless you are in early game it's below average
Dungeons is better than legends. I like the hordes themes and the designs of the Piglins in general. The cutscenes were great. The gameplay horrible. Mojang says you’re the hero even though the structures and mobs do all the work.
Let's be honest, Minecraft Dungeons was way more of a legend than Minecraft Legends ever was
facts you actually have to play instead of letting your army do the work wheres the fun in that.
Oh easily. Here’s a quick list of things Minecraft Dungeons does right that Minecraft Legends doesn’t do: Good visuals. Good story. Fun gameplay. And like literally everything.
Instead of leading the army you fight the army
TRUE
real
Mojang: creates awesome game
Also Mojang: ghosts the entire player base
To be fair, the playerbase does get toxic over small things.

*flashbacks to MINECRAFT EARTH. Damn the timing of a world wide pandemic...
Microsoft in a nutshell
This is what happened with Minecraft Legends
But not Minecraft Dungeons. That's misinformation
Minecraft dungeons if they added mod📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
That’s really why Minecraft is still so popular, let’s be real. The modding scene is NUTS
@@for4269 ehh, most people don't use mods - even with vanilla, the opportunities for creativity in building are massive
I would say its openness to user-generated content as a whole is a more complete explanation for its continuing success (players like Phil and Etho can play for years on a single world and not run out of things to do, and for all Terraria's strengths, it doesn't do that nearly as well)
honestly, It would have only flatlined it. Though it could have done something absurdly neat.. it would never reach the scene minecraft sits at, for various reasons. (Mostly because limiting initial designs)
new dlc*
@@Spirit69caller nope, DLC doesn't save games. They tried lol
My favorite thing about Minecraft dungeons is the bug where a black box pops up on your screen and then it just perpetually loads. And the message on the bug tracker that says "We won't be fixing it, figure out how to fix the issue yourself" is the cherry on top.
I got that game on my birthday(basically about a month after it released) and I loved it to death. Even though Jungle and Winter DLCs gave my PC a stroke, I still loved it. Who here remembers when the game only had a Wandering Trader and Blacksmith shops in the camp?
I do. I reached level 2024 seriously legit too. I play PS
I got so far in the game and just stopped I had the rarest items as well.
I had wizard robes with the triple cool-down enchantment which I am 90% sure got a nerf
I remember, I even was grinding for maxed fighters bindings once I knew how good they are lol
@@sillythewanderer4221 That item with the mushroom artifact makes me feel like an anime character for some reason
Honestly, the Heart of Ender would make a great third boss for Minecraft. They should slowly start incorporating content from the spinoffs into the main game (outside of mob vote)
They tried with the iceoliger
@@destroyer4929But we chose a glowing fish over a cool spinoff addition
@@St0rmGuy dream chose that
@@destroyer4929 That was in the mob vote tho
@@fertileplanet7756 yea and he obviously and objectively at least somewhat rigged it
I miss the days when a game could come out, be played, MAYBE get DLC eventually, and then be done. Now suddenly if they stop being updated they're just dead and its treated as some horrible thing. If people _enjoyed the game_ then replaying it every once and a while should be enough.
But nooo they had to add a battlepass. :/
It's not the worst battlepass out there. There are way more scummy battlepasses in other games.
The thing is that they constantly update the game over and over, people had different expectations
The difference is that the Battle passes last forever and are functionally just another form of DLC. Any player that starts playing now can get all of the battle passes and progress them, its not time limited and FOMO inducing like live service games
Yeah, also hello laser, I seem to keep running into you lol
Bro is obby a 5 aclock hater of the armadillo and trial chambers
Me and my dad would play this during covid. We would stay up all night grinding for new weapons, and we beat every dlc very quickly. It's sad to see how quickly the game died
It rains a lot where I live and I have two boys, and we would play this game for hours and laugh and have a blast playing it through many times to get better weapons and all kinds of stuff and finally realized we were just going to end up playing it over and over so we did until we set it down hoping that some sort of update would come and it never did… We talk about it often and realize maybe we shouldn’t of sold the game maybe just get a used one and play it every now and then just because it was so fun for us to play together. We wish they would make another one, but probably that’s too much to hope for…
Accurate and well made video, that pretty much sums it up!
It's a real shame that with all the potential it had, it was abandoned like this...
Yeah, it's unfortunate. Abandoned is still a strong word imo, but they could've done so much more with it, or go out with a final bang instead of announcing the discontinuation after 8 months of silence.
Remember watching your hardcore streams lol good times
Yo
makes you wish that at least there was a fully Randomize mode
So is it worthy to buy it? I'm really confused and don't know if I shall buy it or not
It was story based. All stories come to an end
most stories last longer than 6 hours
@@d.d5619depends on the story

Glad I was helpful!
Minecraft Dungeons was a very fun game. It had its weird quirks and that's what made it fun. There's no denying that it would've been something much greater had it received more updates, but sadly there are many things that come into play, such as time constraints and development costs. Nobody should blame the developers for not extending the game's lifespan any further than they already have, as that was not planned at all and they've already tried. From their perspective, it was complete, and that is completely understandable. I'll forever be sad about what it could've been though lol, because I genuinely think the game had a lot of potential.
-Also I'll never understand why they took 8 months to announce the discontinuation of the game-
Goat
Thank you for your insight!
they probbaly tried to make it work but it was too hard
@@ChronorThe majority of the time it's an issue with the executives and their need for max profits and their disconnected ideas on how to achieve that, or it's related to a very toxic work environment/management.
MC Dungeons likely falls into the former, although we won't be sure until the day we can access the full story.
Yo
This game reached it's natural cycle of development, and besides a few bugs there wasn't much they could have added tbh.
I've played this game since launch and absolutely love it, and I still understand why they stopped updating it.
Also, the game didn't really die, its growth just slowed.
It had 10M players in 2022 and 23M when it was discontinued in 2023 if you need proof
it was clunky to try and farm items
This isn't actual minecraft...@@Weebdotexe
@@catsdogswoof3968you do realize that you have to farm items in an arpg right?
They could have rebalanced apacalypse plus to make it more fair and make it so that mobs don't spawn directly on you, getting one shot like that should not be something that happens.
Should've added support for some sort of user generated content, user generated dungeons and maps and the like, that way they could wash their hand off it and let the community do whatever, same with modding aupport. Releases of this size don't tend to get abandoned without even bug fixes after just like 2-3 years.
I’ve never played dungeons but maybe a good idea would be player-made community levels, short challenges that people could make and share for free.
would be cool but the levels arent simply built from minecraft blocks, they are very handcrafted with only minor levels of variation
@viralshark that doesn't impede for creating an API for players to add their own contents. You think each block was really handcrafted? This is not an indie studio with low budget. They most certainly had a level builder for it
@@nemesissombria Not necessarily in the way it seems like you're imagining. The way games like dungeons generate levels is by having a bunch of small hand-modeled prefabs being strung together into a full map using an algorithm. The levels still have to be designed to some extent through the prefabs, and they have to make sure that certain prefabs can't appear in certain locations otherwise it would break the whole game.
Sorry but there would be no incentive for people to make maps or unique content without compensation people would get bored of that there would be no drive or spike for people to return
Microsoft is too greedy to do that, they'll never do that with mods
Its why I prefer epic games for allowing their creators to earn from what they make, hell even csgo
@@LUCAS420BLZ counterpoint: Java edition mods.
Mc Dungeons is actually amazing. I find it infinitely replayable and fun cause of the insane stuff you can do.
Massive dmg builds.
Infinite hit speed.
Ultra powerful soul builds.
Its just fun to see big numbers appear really fast. Its honestly massively underrated
Not even mentioning the enemy designs, dimensions, dlc and structures. Just look at the Redstone Monstrocity, its cool as f*ck. The Jungle Abomination, the End and Nether look awesome. It straight up feels like a fan game and not minecraft at all
Facts
i mean Dungeons isn't really a game that is built to be constantly updated like Minecraft? I'm surprised it got the amount of DLC it did
17:55 Yeah, when I pre-ordered the game I had "Minecraft expectations".
When I saw that the game was pretty short, I thought "They'll add more levels in the future (aside from DLCs)".
I've had some fun with it for few months, thought the DLCs were kinda small, then pretty much got bored, and I didn't want to buy more DLCs.
When some time later I saw the game was now on Steam and they had a package that greatly reduced the cost of DLC, I was kinda pissed, since it cost not that much more than what I paid for hero edition (Game + 2 DLCs).
Minecraft dungeons is such a goated game
Me and my friends still play it to this day
I still play it every day
I found a way to get to the island off to sea in the camp.
I still play with my dad. It’s still fun
@@questoomz3000i played it every day back during corona and a bit after but doesnt it get kinda boring after u got max lvl and the best equipment with enchatment combos that make u basically invincible?
Minceraft's dungeons might be dead... But the ost will *always* live on. Imo I think Minecraft dungeon's OST is easily better than minecraft's current (modern day OSTS) if you loved C418 or IDM or you're simply an Ambient music enjoyer in general I think every album is worth giving it a listen.
The ost for a lot of the osts reminds me of retro Minecraft a lot, the themes make every single DLC/level feel *unique.
Howling peaks makes use of the shepherd's tone, which is an audio illusion that creates an "ascending/descending" effect.
Flames of the nether has savage almost tribal drums throughout the ost, or alien howling ambience.
Echoing void is downright ALIEN unfamiliar, experimental, grating and uncomfortable to listen to, which in a funny way immerses you further as you explore the strange world of the end.
Please give *all* of the OSTS a listen if you can, Peterhont is the absolute GOAT I guarantee you wont be disappointed.
Duuddee. This game’s soundtrack is goddamn amazing.
I'm playing the game again after accidentally taking the game card from someone for a week (oops), and yeah soundtrack's great. I remember the early game ones perfectly, the loading screen music is incredible
Something that should also be said in this context is that as far as I'm aware, this was the whole dev team's first go at a diablo style game and for that, I'd say it turned out really quite well.
Obviously, there is a lot broadly flawed, like the scaling of statistics (especially once the difficulty levels were over extended beyond Apocalypse 7), ranged weapons being so bad you are better off using them for passive enchantments, movement feeling clunky at times, enemies being on the simple damage sponge side of things, healing being way too scarce (healing enchantments are basically mandatory in any build), the story being short and the loot grind being largely unsatisfying.
However, there are also quite a lot of interesting ideas in there that I hope see reuse elsewhere, namely the many new kinds of enchantments, the whole idea of souls used as mana, the variety in gear design (especially for melee weapons), the new enemy designs, the wind mechanisms of howling peaks, the expansion of the end from echoing void, just the new block designs in the environment, the style of mob and player animations, and so on.
I was wondering when you were gonna do a video on Minecraft Dungeons.
Minecraft:Dungeons truly had a place in my heart as it was the first Minecraft spinoff I had played thanks to my girlfriend getting me the Hero Edition of the game.
The game was quite fun playing through the main story and the two DLCs I had access to.
It truly felt like a genuinely great game that I could see myself playing regularly.
For me, I didn't feel the decline of the game until Cloudy Climb came out. It was at that point where it felt that the developers were losing interest on working on the game since updates were smaller and more sparse.
The Tower was so bad when it came to replayability as the layout changed every 3 weeks and you got the same gear between each layout.
It also didn't help that the game only added cosmetic items to get players to come back. Definitely did not work out.
At least Fauna Faire added a good amount of content including a new free level and some new gear. Going through Treetop Tangle after playing the Tower was such a breath of fresh air.
But the worst part of it all was the fact that Mojang went a year without updating the game before discontinuing it, killing all hope for Dungeons having a future.
I can understand that Mojang was proud of what they accomplished and felt content with the state of the game but if that was truly the case, they should've announcned the discontinuation of the game way sooner.
Minecraft Dungeons had a great run but this is not how things should have ended.
At least you can still play the game which is better than the fate of other spinoffs, meaning we can revisit the game as a nice trip down memory lane. Might even do just that now that I've watched this video. And maybe some of you should do that too. Who knows?
heck, minecraft story mode and dungeons are both better then legends ever would of been
You forgot the worse minecraft earth they didnt even mention it anymore, that spin off must be in apple vision and boom it will trending again
minecraft earth was a pokemon go rip off@@Myticalcattnip
@Cottonthefox It really wasn't. The only thing similar was that it was a GPS based AR game.
Me and my friends always like to play dungeons, we usually take a few months brake and then play actively for a bit sad to see it stop updating
I loved Minecraft Dungeons so much. I really hope they bring in a bunch of stuff from it to regular Minecraft.
On god bro
Let me guess, it was abandoned for legends than then failed
Ding ding ding
Calling it abandoned is a bit weird, like it’s not really the kind of game to need constant updates. And it definitely didn’t fail as it sold very well and has lots of good reviews. Just because less people are playing it at the moment doesn’t make it a bad game. I think I had a good experience playing it as well
loved dungeons, one thing i don't think was mentioned is the towers initial release included a gamebreaking exploit, it included quitting during the tower at points which would cause it to consider more floors than you actually completed. since the rewards scaled with floor count and were essentially uncapped, it was a disaster.
I was really excited for this game prerelease, but after some time it became apparent how shallow the combat was. Some weapons and enchantments were clearly stronger than others, and late game there weren't many builds that were viable outside of the strongest combinations. It really sucked cause I was hoping there would be more room for diverse builds to succeed, considered overall it's based on Minecraft, a game known for letting the players express themselves.
Also, the levels themselves weren't super replayable, with the crypt level showing promise for what could have been done with the random terrain generation, but the other levels were just a series of recognizable rooms and structures strung together. Surprised it was that bland for being based on a game, again, known for its infinite, variable, unique world generation. The later-added Ancient Hunts did use more unique terrain generation though, which I did enjoy. Unfortunately not enough for the base game.
Honestly Mojang should just focus on just Minecraft instead of making more minecraft spin offs
Rn seems the way
Tell that to microsoft
Go ahead and tell that to Microsoft..
@@JustYourLocalfnaffan198 no
I agree
I wish they would have at least let added a map editor / allowing you to port your mc worlds, imagine playing on the fallen kingdom world in mc dungeons
Had dungeon when it came out too, even finished the main story before the tower got added. The tower makes sense and I don't see much of a problem with it, you receive the most basic gear to survive the tower levels, upgrade or get new gear as you climb the tower, and leave with a piece of upgraded gear should you win it... That's sounds fun! It is fun!
As a person who had beaten the game all 3 times and beaten every level on apocalypse +25 (max difficulty) it was really fun grinding and finding and beating every secret level, the issue that u stated earlier about people not replaying the game is really sad because i remember progressing which was really fun and it really can get very difficult on the higher levels of apocalypse if you didnt find the best gear that works well with your build and i remember getting a godroll on a unique armor piece but i quit when the season 1 of tower was revealed and when i came back i accidentally deleted my account and since i was playing on the nintendo it wasnt recoverable. great video tho
God I remember when I lost my saved data my switch was stolen but I finally returned Two years later
I played on Xbox so I didn’t loose my stuff
@@axl5189 Read it again but this time read the entire thing
If you have a Microsoft account you should have your characters saved, even after deleting save on switch. I know because well I did it except intentionally because me stupid
not sure if it needs nso tho
@@thisnameisbad3609 Yes but i didnt do that as i wouldnt know how to, thanks for the comment tho as i prolly will use that in the future
Honestly, I’m still playing the game and enjoying it! I play with another friend, I go to the tower to farm cool items, etc... I currently have a complete level 263 stuff and I'm preparing for the apocalypse +25 to finish the game but I think that even after that I will continue to love this wonderful spin off 😁
Minecraft dungeons lasted 3 years, That's more than Minecraft Legends lasted 😂😂😂
"Lets hypermonetize and not update the game hardly at all"
"Why don't they like the game?"
Interesting video, but your use of the word "toxic" irritated me. People vetting their frustrations isn't "toxic".
You mean venting???
There's a verry fine line between voicing opinions with an angry tone and toxicity.
Voicing an opinion can show anger yes but blaming it all on devs who follow instructions from higher ups, especially by calling them names or suggesting that they don't listen, is quite toxic belive it or not. By your standards toxic is dancing on someone in fortnite
@Bubbsmc You cannot equate his discomfort of the word toxic being used the way it was to an action in a game. He never brought up Fortnite or implied anything of that nature to be the case, it's a false equivalency.
@@absolutelyscrumptious7552 it's is metaphorical ? An easy way to show people what you mean, don't take it to heart and don't forget this happened ages ago, it's long forgotten now
I still grind Minecraft Dungeons trying to get all the unique weapons/bows (legendary) in the game
i feel like minecraft dungeons is suffering from microsoft's conduct, as they're usually short-term focused and very live-service. I feel like this is mainly what caused the downfall of dungeons, as microsoft isn't really concerned with players wishes as long as the game is generating money. And when the game stops generating money, they simply move on to the next game.
abandoned? this was not the kind of game that needed updates, it was a narrative based adventure game. they supported it for a shocking amount of time actually
Yeah it not having a huge active player base doesn’t make it a bad game, and while it may not have the largest amount of content it’s still usually around twenty dollars cheaper than the average AAA game for the complete edition. This video is making it seem a lot worse than it really is.
I actually found Minecraft dungeons fun being able to upgrade my weapons and go through the different levels with my gear, until I got to the final mission and that was it for the "main quest" which I found a bit short and you had to pay for dlc to play the other storylines.
I played through the game and I enjoyed it, I didn’t care for the story after awhile and it became repetitive, I couldn’t bother to complete it due to the fact I just didn’t care about it lol 😭
Lets be honest here, people don't play Minecraft for the branding. People play it for the gameplay. Minecraft taking any other kind of genre is just never going to work.
Exactly but the name "minecraft" is bound to draw people in. That's probably the only reason why they didn't made this a new ip
It could have worked with Dungeons, but they fricked it up
Minecraft dungeon is still a great entry into that genre
Mojang has released non Minecraft IP, it's just not popular. Also Dungeons is a great companion to the main game, just with more focus on the combat aspect (which tbh the main game doesn't do very well)
@BryanLu0 because they never marketed it. They never trued to push the other IPs forward. They thought it would be as successful as Minecraft, but truth is, MC is a deviation.
Mojang keeps having a tendency of “Baby’s First [game genre]” for their spin-offs, which I personally cannot keep playing since they feel so barebones compared to the “real deals” like Diablo, in Dungeon’s case. If Mojang would go a bit more deep with these spin-offs, I would imagine players would stick around since there’s a lot more depth
I had a level 30 character with 10 to 15 unique items and after an update they were all wiped except what was equipped.
tried support and they couldn't do anything.
That really doesn't take long to get tho
It's still one of my favorite games. I love it
It seems like it was a similar problem to Legends, a cool concept with a lack of Depth and Nuance, preventing players from staying engaged for more than a couple of sessions.
I remember watching the first trailer and I was super hyped about the game and after a sort of long wait it finally released and bought it right away. I really enjoyed the game but they seemed to not listen the community. It was good that they added new shops and the gift system as well as giving the blacksmith a rework and the storage chest but they could’ve done that earlier. It had so much potential but then didn’t see it I guess.
I rarely play it now as I’m completely maxed, got all the dlcs, hero edition, etc.
Bruh not every game needs infinite updates, MC dungeons is content complete and very good
Another big complaint I had with this game was that all data was stored client-side initially, so after spending 100 hours on my playthrough, when I got a new PC I lost all my progress and all motivation to continue playing
yeah my switch got stolen lost hours of work just got back into the game now 2 years later
me and my friend played the game on apocalypse 7 and did everything together on it and would come back for every update when we got to do the tower it was super fun but it rlly didn't get updated enough and at some point I just forgot I even had the game
I got Dungeons basically at launch on my Xbox and loved it to death. I still play and enjoy it to this day. I'm willing to admit that I may have spent way more money than I should have for all the DLCs, but I don't care. It's sad to see it stop getting updates, but it will always remain to be one of my favorite games.
They are all surprised like "why are our spinoffs so poorly received?" Like, huh, I wonder, maybe sticking to only one universe is boring for people, especially when the first main game is supposed to be everything. And yet, they don't ever consider making something else, something not Minecraft at all. For a cube game, they think constrictingly on one axis, on the inside of the box, there is only a two dimensional square, afraid of the other ways to do things, stuck on one possible axis set in motion. That is the problem with mojang.
Edit: the problem isn't their ideas, it's just that it's all Minecraft related.
They have tried that before with little to no success
Minecraft Dungeons was (sorta) like a sandbox with its customisable gear
25 million players isn't exactly poor reception, that's more than half of one Terraria
MY BET is because Legendas and Dungeons will never beat the EPIC Minecraft Story mode... It lacks a season 3... WE will never have it... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaa
I'm sure they're at the mercy of Microsoft when it comes to making new games, and they likely see it as too big a risk to branch out into new IPs.
I used to love this game, I played it almost every day when I was younger, and when the Tower update was released, I was so disappointed I quit the game around that time. It's a shame, the game had so much potential
Bugs is what turned me away from Dungeons. I remember buying it, starting to play, and getting stuck in terrain near the end of first level - forcing restart of the whole level. I tried second time, got to second level and again got stuck in terrain. Gave up after that.
I loved Minecraft dungeons for a while, until it started to get boring, as the Genre (beat em ups for kids) was starting to get oversaturated. Although it is sad how it ended. The end portal bit near the end was cool, and thats when i started getting back in to it, and then it just stopping was disappointing.
@@FullAutoWitch thank you sir for this information
4 am at the time had listed everything that could be done to fix this problem, he had brought back the plates and Mojang were just too lazy to help themselves at that point. The sad thing is the laziness from Mojang is just shown in everything they do (other than this years April fools snapshot) and I am willing to argue for my point
Imagine if this game had a pvp where you could bring your gear, but everyone would be capped at like 50 power level with a game mode where you have to capture objectives and defend them from other players kinda like domination cod i feel like something like that would be supper fun
I have played Minecraft dungeons once, it was at a arcade with my friends, I absolutely loved it, so see it be abandoned makes me question what mojang is doing
Ohh that's actually a prequel you can find the final boss under repair in the main game
The obsidian monstrosity in pinnacle?@@arcticfluffyfoxy
It was so good and had so much potential… I’m sad that they let all of it go to waste when the game was one of the best. I mean the soundtrack is great and is not too fast compared to other dungeon crawlers. And now they just add DLC’s. Even the replay ability was pretty good if you liked to grind. Lazy mojang killed off the game.
The Tower was also extremely easily exploitable, if I recall correctly, you had to exit after the last boss and reenter, which would let you level the tower rewards to an absurd level, it also didn't help that you could (for free) reroll the rewards also through an exploit. So obtaining any OP item was so easy to do that no item was ever truly rare or the best anymore.
I remember this game so fondly, my friend and I managed to beat the final boss on apocalypse difficulty in the top 5% for achievements at the time. It was so fun. It really sucks to see it abandoned in favour of MC Legends by the devs :(
"Minecraft Dungeons is considered to be the most successful Minecraft spin-off"
Story Mode has left the chat
I still tear up over that darn pig!
This would have been a good free mobile game.
i could agree with that
Seeing the community for this game being honest with themselves is a breath of fresh air. Some communities like tarkov don't admit when things are getting unfun and stale and prioritise their income over the community and will not move on to better things.
Its not common to see a youtuber/streamer admit their speculative views and efforts to hype their own audience fell short and that its better for a change of perspective. I may not have enjoyed minecraft dungeons at all but seeing the community standing up for themselves and not fighting amongst themselves is amazing to see.
I just wish I wasn't locked out of the game by a login loop (which later turned into "Network error") after playing it for a year.
I still check if I can log in from time to time, hoping that it would once again let me play.
:(
17:33 I assume when mark says “single player ds game” he’s referring to the Nintendo 3DS cause if he means the original ds then Minecraft more just got a whole lot more crazy
That or originally it wasn’t supposed to be Minecraft themed and that was added later, but still that’s a long time to be developing a game if it came out in 2020
@@TheDerpyDolphin The 3DS was still being supported until around that time.
What's more confusing is that it definitely had some issues on Switch. It wasn't terrible (though I don't know how it became later) but how do you screw up porting a 3DS game to the Switch? That just makes it sound like a lie. Especially if they don't even understand the difference between the DS and 3DS.
They couldn’t get the funds for DS release
@@RunicSigils honestly if it was legit being developed for the Nintendo 3DS i'd be really impressed at how it could even run, if it was for the DS then well props to Double Eleven for somehow developing this game for a nearly 20 year old console
The game wasn’t abandoned, it was finished
Leaving several bugs in means abandoned
they couldnt fix it@@gregritferdjr
@@gregritferdjr what bugs? I’ve never dealt with bugs? Every game has bugs. Is Mario 64 an abandoned game because you can glitch through levels to speed run it? Is red dead redemption 1 abandoned? Cause there’s a lot of bugs remaining there too! No. These are finished games. Completed.
But mojang should've atleast added better modding capabilities, or replayable content/community made content.
@@LightmareTTR says the destiny player... Look, I know what it's like to be conditioned to think that all games are to be constantly updated and fishing for your wallet. But y'know, a game like this was actually finished. Yeah, a finished product will have bugs, everything has bugs finished or not. Just accept it and move on.
I loved Minecraft dungeon, me and my dad used to do it on the weekends. It was the best
I was waiting for at least 2 years waiting for the update until I found out that MCD was discontinued/abandoned last month which made me really sad
I think Dungeons could have had 1 more large update to rebalance, optimize, bug fix, etc, with maybe one more game mode/system for endgame players; however I'm glad that the game's support did eventually end. I'm so tired of everyone thinking that every game needs to last forever. Growing up playing games on consoles from the NES to the Xbox, I much prefer being able to buy a game that's complete.
not every game has to be a live service fyi.... those who expect this are part of the problem. it is why you will continue to be disappointed.
minecraft dungeons didn't had to end, they could make new story/more dlc/more seasons, generaly they abandoned it for no reason while it was succesful game, but took care of game that right now has around 4 players online (minecraft legends)
Honestly, I wish they would port stuff from dungeons to regular minecraft. There are so many cool looking blocks, mobs, plants, and a bunch of other stuff I'd love to use in my creative world. If I knew how to code or mod, I would totally create a mod which is just a lot of the dungeon stuff as a resource pack.
the game wasn't abandoned, it was completed, and the developers moved on to new projects.
new projects that probably wont be any good, but eh, who knows
If thays completed then wow....
yeah he said that in the video
Hi and hello internauts, although I think TheMisterEpic didn't want to do anything wrong this video has some mistakes that are too big to brush off.
I have put a link to a video which corrects these misconceptions. There are english subtibtles avaible and the person who made it is a Minecraft Dungeons veteran & pro. Like, trust me when I say he knows the stuff.

I hope you enjoy watching.
I remember my biggest issue with Dungeons when I played it at launch was that there wasn't any random matchmaking whatsoever (or still isn't or will be, I guess, idk). I wanted to grind out the game with multiplayer because I didn't find it incredibly fun single player wise but my options were trying to get my friends to buy the 6 hour game at full price at launch or going and begging people online to add me so we could play once and then never again. I ended up just playing each level once, then never touched it again which is a shame because I really liked the idea of grinding stuff with other people. Thought the content updates after the DLC's might've picked the game back up but I never checked for myself, and clearly they didn't. So close to something I could've loved.
I remember being super excited about the Season Passes I bought all 3 and was really excited to get all of the rewards that were available. One thing that was great about them was that when a new one came out you could still get the rewards from the old ones but It took FOREVER to level up and get the rewards. This is the main reason why I quit Minecraft Dungeons but after watching this video I feel like getting back into Minecraft Dungeons cuz I think it’s a great game and we can all agree it’s WAY BETTER than Legends!!!
dungeons is getting less updates than tf2
they were some mods in minecraft dungeons, but not a lot and very difficult to install and you had to start the game manually instead of though a launcher. But they're only 4 mods I know of which were: changing the lobby into a spruce biome, having the face a dozen ancient mobs of your choice to get more gear, changing your skin to your minecraft skin, and changing the winter fox skin to a normal fox skin.
Idk if these mods still work anymore or if they were ever updated? And am certain there were more mods then what I pointed out, all these mods I learned from 4AM who was probably the only TH-camr who actively made videos on Minecraft dungeons if they were any new content for Minecraft Dungeons.
yeah there are a few mods. honest to god if you could use your minecraft skin in the base game, and if you could (optionally) use wasd controls instead of point and click, i feel like the game would've been more of a hit.
I remember being able to play a prerelease version of this game because I was given a code and I'm glad I bought the Ultimate Edition on the MS Store
though it sucks that I'm not given the OST and stuff aswell despite the Steam Version having that
The Sad Part For Me At Least I Don't Know If Anyone Else Has This Unfixable Bug, But When I Bought The Game In Of April 3rd A Few Months After That The Live Service's Like The Battle Pass and In Games Downloadable Content Were Inaccessible For Me, And There Was No Way To Access The Content Via Steam, So Pretty Much The Season Pass For Minecraft Legends And Dungeon's Content Died It Makes Me Sad To See Two Of These Games Pretty Much Die, At Least It's Not Like Minecraft Story Mode, But Still I Hope If Anyone See's The Text Can You Please Some How Help Me That Would BE Much Obliged
legend tells of a dungeons v2...
Honestly, 'Minecraft Dungeons' problem is .. 'Minecraft'. Where Minecraft can cope with an excessively limited 'NPC variants' and mobs that repeat till the end of the universe, with randomness as factors with some controlls on that randomness (say in terms of player interactions like trading, etc) it is a game made to build &tap into a creative spark, and has been proven to be 'restrictive' enough to spawn other games via modes, and even spark new games entirely from it, ontop of it's `engine`.
The thing with Minecraft dungeons is It couldn't really to tooooo far off the rails from Minecraft in terms of mobs, designs of levels, gear, etc. It also ditched the 'endless' parts of minecraft that was the taps of creativity itself and had forgone any sort of meta game built ontop of it, along with really being just not worth it (or really possible) to build even meta games ontop of it.
The way that Minecraft dungeons was structured .. is a mobile dungeon crawler, that's star & power based, with literally zero reason for any sentimental attachments or 'real' reasons to replay, or mods to change or even tweak the 'vanilla' experience, much less be able to add your own thing to it if you really wanted to.
It's not a 'bad' game, but it is a badly done game, of which that misused a game driven towards endless & powered by it for a limited life span of a game without the ability to roll out new things entirely unique to it and handled the 'progression' ... basically with numbers. They used an endless spirt to fuel a finite game.
fr , agreed , it didnt feel like Diablo , it feel like NK Merlok 2.0 V2 . all 3 enjoyable , but mobile games are more simple and sometimes repetitive . Merlok 2.0 is the kind of game i think is mobile gaming . no adds , microtranzaction are made smart , and avoidable .
I really miss this game, played so much and was one of my first Nintendo switch games
Replayed It so many times with friends, grinded for the best loot and gears
It was very fun
they abandoned Dungeon to make a dumpster fire called Legend
I had the DLCs, 185 hours in the game, but since I was on switch , I couldn't use the Tower without another subscription, and 85 of the 185 hours were spent grinding for 1 item. This game really fell from glory
You can tell some people aren't made for the video game media when they describe a game as "grindy and repetitive" when the genre of the game is to grind and repeat stages for better loot.
Like that's so braindead. It's just not the genre for you, these people would not survive in a MMO for longer than a day if they're this petty.
i bought the dlc they are active in the launcher but when i launch the game it says i don't have them
Today's Fact: In 2021, scientists discovered a new species of dinosaur in Australia, which had 'dragon-like' features and was over 16 feet long.
Does it have blue eyes also is it. a white dragon?
The only dinosaur discovered in Australia in 2021 was Australotitan, a 70-ft titanosaur. If you're referring to the discovery of Thapunngaka that same year, which was 20ishft in wingspan and "Australia's Own Dragon," it's not a dinosaur but a pterosaur. Please do literally the most basic of research or provide actual facts, you shitty bot-
Does it by any chance have red eyes and a black dragon?
Is it, perhaps a fossil, meaning we have no idea what eye color/ skin color it had?
Yu Gi OH referance@@TheDragonfriday
As the lead moderator of the game’s subreddit, it was an honor to hold an active role in the community in its prime. It’s still a very active community, but it will never be what it once was.
With the addition of the Nether dlc, ancient hunts were introduced, and I'd say they added the best new and unique gameplay. Ancients mobs, random mobs spawned, and random environments made things feel less repetitive. And yes, They can't offer gear as strong as the Tower can, but the difference in strength really isn't game-changing.
I played ancient hunts for over 2 years straight until I stopped playing Minecraft Dungeons. I stopped because I slowly went from liking the enchantsmith to getting sick of how RNG dependent rerolling was. Bear in mind I was farming the game mode ideal for getting gold, and I used them before their prices were nerfed. Oh I do wanna rant so much about them...
I never saw minecraft dungeons as much of a continuesly updating game. I liked the dlc we got but eventuality the game is done. You can still have fun playing it just like any other game that gets no more updates/DLC.
I see the main game minecraft as the exception because of it's evergreen status and i think spin offs don't really need to try to replicate that same kind if model. Its fine when a game just releases and is just done, bonus content is nice but shouldn't be expected.
It's okay! This game is entirely 100% preserved through piracy. You can easily get a copy of it for your PC, Nintendo Switch, or PlayStation 4 ( As long as it is jailbroken )
Excuse me? I have paid like 60€ for Ultimate one in Switch which totally shocked me now reading 🤨
Pov u just got a like 20 seconds after u just posted a comment
@@BladeEndVoid Yes, but they abandoning the game I bought it for 60€ .
Don't worry, the game is still playable, its just not getting updates, that's all.
Ok? Thx for flexing ig
I got the game on a discount and it was worth it. Didn't mind the lack of updates because I think it's fine to just have game be eventuality done.
Ok, they still could have made like winter events and stuff like that they didnt have to fully abandon it like how hard is it to just copy the code from the previous event?
Wow , you are making videos really fast!! Hope you are having a great day , also , this reminds me of what happened to Minecraft Legends , Great video ♥
mojang try not to abandon a spinoff challenge (impossble)
as someone who got the game on release and had the audacity to get every single unique gilded (it was hell) it was really sad to see this game go
Great video as always! i would be interested to hear the story behind Minecraft: Story Mode as well.
Story mode got canceled because it was made by a third party which gone out of business.
You're telling me they really did a no mans sky? Did they really just ignore the community to GRIND the update... then JUST LEFT? Bravo, you did everything correctly, then fumbled the bag!
Don't worry guys, the Minecraft creator 'NOTCH' is creating his own dungeon crawler and is designing logos for a new studio. So the legendary game developer is possibly returning
i pray to collab with Frima Studios . if they do , they will create an game that will take over MC .
As someone that put over 150 hours into the game and got every single achievement, this video explains well how the game goes by. If I only had one final wish for the game, it would have been to know ahead of time some of the enemies you were going to face in the tower.
One of the achievements requires you to kill 100 tower guards, an enemy only spawning very rarely in tower runs. So rare even that for one tower generation, they aren't even guaranteed to spawn and only spawn at high tower levels. This was by far the most time consuming achievement in the entire game for me. And if it wasn't for this amazingly resilient TH-camr @DcSK which still does Minecraft Dungeons WEEKLY Tower runs walkthroughs, I wouldn't have ever had the mental strength to grind for it.
