Terraria tells you stuff… use the guide.
What kept me playing terraria in the early game was that it made me feel as if I was replaying minecraft for the first time, and that was just the best feeling.
good vid
He didnt say 2d minecraft what a cool dude like every minecraft player plays terraria for the first time they always say its 2d minecraft maybe a little
which is better, terraria on steam or the real website? cuz it sems good but very confusing and idk which
Just got a Steam Deck and this looks like a cautious 'get.' Thanks for the very thorough review and warning… 😉
I think the reason his experience was so bad was BECAUSE, he was playing with someone that knew what they were doing. Instead of finding new things randomly, slowly finding random weird sht that's cool but you have no idea what it does, exploring new places without knowing what to look for. THAT is the correct experience, but when you play with people that have been playing it, they tend to give you things without saying what it does, throwing you into a boss fight without you knowing, pushing you off a ledge into the pits of hell and the jungle. It's horrible following someone around like a baby bird without ever learning to fly by yourself. I absolutely recommend playing by yourself in classic and taking it slow for first timers.
I used to play this game back in vine but the game just got confusing.
me who bought Terraria on my Xbox last year on Christmas eve and played with my little brother (Me 17 now my Brother 15)who didnt had a clue what to do be like
Yes the start is hard but now i am pro at this game
btw i beat Moonlord on the same day i bought Terraria 😉
As a terraria veteran, I agree with everything you said. It is brutally unforgiving for new players and is very boring in the beginning, which is why most players play the game for a while, get bored and call it 2d minecraft and have a bad impression of the game. I can’ blame them either, I could say give it more of a chance all I want but when it boils down to it, the beginning boring phase of the game takes hours upon hours of playtime to get through especially if you’re new. Even after playing the game for years I have a love hate relationship, however I happen to lean closer toward the love side of things because i’ve been playing it for so long i know what i’m doing. Terraria’s greatest flaw is playability for new players.
Bro me and my brother is playing the game as new players in 2023 lol and i dont kone wha that fish is going on
Explaining but not playing
anyone know if setting a spawn with a bed makes it so the events spawn there too? please say yes 😭
Terraria is easily one of my favorite games of all time, but for the first few times I tried to play it: I barely made it past the first boss before getting bored.
It’s an amazing game if, and only if, you’re able to tough it through the first little while.
I got terraria Switch edition for $15 and I love it
terraria is prob my favorite game of all time, but i got into it in around 2013/14 back when it was far simpler, i couldnt imagine going into the game blind in it's current state. but aside from it's learning curve i struggle to find like genuinely bad things about it
“Ayo the pizza here”
Me getting pizza for dinner tonight
Bro 30 hours? I have 500 lol
Fun fact: 6 years ago on a random TF2 Minecraft trade server i went into a cave and heard this music. Absolutely loved it. And now fast forward i have 800 hours in terraria and have beaten master mode twice.
i started playing terraria in 2015, stopped again around 2017-2018 and have recently started playing again (for about 2 months) and WOW the new stuff theyve added since i left is so mad! but i think this only really appealed to me partially, is because i already had practically an encyclopedic knowledge of all the basics, so i totally get how that could be quite jarring for people, watching the game progress from earlier variants certainly does help the game feel more smooth
I do not value your opinion on this game.
As a new Terraria player, I love new shiny objects. The more, the better.
This vid basically describes the reasons why I have been putting off this game
from 4:26 to 4:41 tf2 have no guide too and you need to learn by yourself
This is just minecraft but if it was modded all to gather and was 2d.
Terraria is a game that is absolutely benefited by having the wiki open in another window
Terraria is fun when you know exactly what your doing, whether it’s getting a weapon upgrade a farm or something like that
Wandering aimlessly will make the game pretty bad and that’s why it’s bad for new players, you gotta understand what and why you are doing something
we did not give players under 80 hours any voice 🙂
It smells like peanuts
there is a npc called the guide and is there from the beginning which is YOUR GUIDE you just have to press the HELP button in his dialogue
I felt you on a lot of the opinions you had,
It's not a bad game, it's kinda like arcade styled NES games.
When you DO eventually learn how to play, it's great!
But the path to get to the "good part" is very, very tedious.
I also had to play the game with some no so great friends that weren't exactly the best to play terraria with.
My first terraria playthrough was alone. Took tons up time looking at the wiki to figure it out and I agree with the difficulty and how it's not always fun. But when I got to the end of my playground I looked back with lots of satisfaction and realized I really liked this game. About a month later I was thinking of what game to play and decided to try expert mode. Armed with my knowledge of the game this playthrough was amazing. Looking back at the end of this playthrough I realized this game was now easily in my top three favorite games. I played run after run until I got bored, which took about 400 hours. Then I found terraria"s modding and loved that too. Now after a couple thousand hours I can consistently come back for a new and interesting run, some shorter some longer. Don't get me wrong I am definitely an extreme example of it getting better the more I play but it truly is an amazing game, with just the worst learning curve I've ever seen
I took 230hours to get to moonlord, I failed the fight
The thing i love about this game that minecraft doesnt have is that you can get so good that you just dont take damage skill is a huge factor of terraria in the context that you can dodge every single attack
Best game ever !
Overload of content is one of the reasons why Terraria is great ! You gotta open your phone to read. So many stuffs. Can’t have too many stuffs
oh 2d minecraft nice
Expert mode is just too easy
i miss the days where the first time i played terraria but somebody just had to give me the zenith in my second play
terraria was a game that i played a bit and dropped it for like half a year then came back than dropped repeat this prosses a few times then the game clicked and now i cant stop
As someone with 500+ hours and thinks terraria is amazing, your opinion is quite valid considering terraria is pretty beginner unfriendly. Pretty much everyone including me uses the wiki to look up stuff. When you know stuff already the game is one of the best of all time but no one knows 100% of content in terraria by heart.
You didnt even Play it
Skill issue?
Despite being just stat bloat, i think master mode serves a nice purpose on terraria, as the standard balance of defense, damage, and mobility will usually be less effective.
You will often sacrifice one or 2 of those things to maximize the other/s
It also forces you to put more effort into the arena desing you use or getting consistent at dodging each bosses attack
While the standard arena of long platforms on top of one another is nice, it can be improved with things like vertical rails to hook on to, or slopes to confuse the boss
Its also worth noting that no boss in master mode is too tanky, so its not like its going to be a slog to get back to the stage you died to, and the hardest parts lasting a bit longer can really turn up the tension factor
I actually worked through terraria without using the wiki for the early game. When i experienced slime rain for the first time and got attacked by a giant boss slime I figured there was a way to make a boss summon and I noticed the MASSIVE CROWN and It’s named king slime so I made a crown. The hardest part was finding the crafting station so I went around the world and had the idea to use the purple glowing things on the ground and made my first boss summon.
This is also what I did with the eye of Cthulhu when I randomly got jumped because if the game thinks you’re well equipped it has a chance of spawning. I won but wanted to fight it again. So I assumed that I would have to use the item that dropped from the smaller eyes and used my previous information to figure out how to make the suspicious looking eye.
This was back in 2014 on the iPad. I love that it tells you nothing as going in completely blind made me want to test EVERYTHING. If you go in with even the slightest bit of knowledge yet not enough to be useful it can be a hinderance as that knowledge throws you off the trail of discovery.
I also figured out a way of mining the corrupt blocks by buying purification powder from my newly housed npc the Druid and discovered it makes those blocks normal so I could mine the blocks to get to the orbs. Which then spawned the eater of worlds. I didn’t find this game to find progression in if you put in the time to experiment with everything. I thought everyone does this in games but I suppose it’s seen as a downside by a lot of people which I don’t really feel. You just need to get creative with it as it forced it out of me to progress.
