time for a quick 10pm petty post. for context : i am INCREDIBLY BIASED towards the legacy console editions of minecraft. Specifically the xbox 360 edition. How biased ? well , the xbox 360 edition was the first version of minecraft i ever played ,being the one i grew up with. not only that , but it Literally Came Out On My Birthday . so. It means a lot to me ! !
and another thing to note : i havent actually really played the bedrock edition. ive Tried it once to play with one of my friends , but it didnt work and then it Crashed. i Did play the Very Early versions of pocket edition , though !
Aside from this incredible bias , i Do have Few points as to why i like the legacy console edition is better than the bedrock edition. for one ... bedrock edition is fuckin ugly ! Idk how to describe it , but every video and screenshot of that game looks Off. i Think the character models all dont have correct lighting ? in fact the lighting in general just looks Off. but i cant really pinpoint any Specific issues with the Main Graphics. it just looks . Bad. it looks Inaccurate to the console edition , which is sad considering that xbox 360 edition pretty much came Right Out Of The Gate looking like java edition.
my next big issue is with the UI. the ui in bedrock edition looks so. Soulless. its both Off from java edition while also having No Identity of its own. its Flat. it Pisses Me Off. i cant fuckin believe they killed off the legacy console editions , with their perfect and sleek UI for this. what sucks is that pocket edition originally Did have its own nice little UI ,that felt Kind Of like the java edition ui but with little differences that gave it its own weird lil personality. the pocket edition UI had Depth !! the xbox 360 edition ui had Depth !! the bedrock edition UI is Flat and Boring and is Ever So Slightly Off from the java edition UI that it looks WEIRD !! I HATE IT !!!!!
and then my biggest problem : they Killed the xbox 360 crafting system. the crafting system in the legacy console editions is literaly perfect. it Works Well , its Convenient , its Fast , and you dont need to have a Wiki Page Open just to Use It . the legacy console editions in general just had a Ton of things that helped when playing the game. whether its the little hint boxes or the tutorial in the menu or the Actual Tutorial World (and the insane amount of work and personality that was put into the various tutorial worlds in each update) , it made playing minecraft Less Tedious. i dont think i wouldve played the game as much growing up if it werent for those nice little things that helped me learn the game ... so to see all of that work be Gutted in bedrock edition and replaced with the most Bare Minimum , Shitty Ass new crafting system is just . It Fucking Sucks !!!!! I Am Pissed Off !!!!!!!
bedrock edition just fucking sucks !!! it tries So Hard to be like java edition but still includes Weird Little differences, such as various animations and the ui and the combat being completely different , that it just makes me wonder Why even bother trying to be Perfectly The Same as java edition. like. Pocket Edition used to have its own weird little exclusive content !!! it had weird ass mechanics !! it had stuff like the nether reactor and crying obsidian !! it had its own little personality !! where did it go !!!!
i will forever be petty about them killing off the legacy console editions forever. i Get why they did it; bedrock edition runs on pretty much anything (even if it has its own dumb problems). i dont Care that the legacy console editions were Slow and had small world limitations ... the Least they coulda done was brought over the features from the legacy console editions !!! it wouldve hurt less if bedrock edition (and maybe even java edition) were given the cool things like the crafting system and the tutorial world to make up for their death ! but no. they replaced the legacy console editions with bedrock edition everywhere. you cant even Get the legacy console editions that were replaced even if you wanted to. it Pisses Me Off !
anyways. i will forever be pissed off at mojang. i will Always be petty. that is ... unless they like. gave me a download to the nintendo switch version of the legacy console edition. im still pissed off that i didnt get it before they replaced it with bedrock edition. idk.
one last thing : the legacy console editions were the best because they put the Dog song in right after the Cat disc stops playing ...... so it should be Obvious that they were the better versions !!! thats all !!
