Seriously, what's the hype? And please, don't respond with, "It's awesome" or "Why wouldn't anybody like it?" Or "You don't like it? You suck" and all of those carpy responses...
I recon Minecraft is one of those games that you have to 'get'. It's like marmite. Love or hate it.
Another example is tower defense games. Some people love them some don't and they can't really explain why.
And yeh you're right about your description of Minecraft as that basically what it is. It's a creative sandbox game. but it's alot simpler and easier then gary's mod. I personally love Minecraft and think it comes from my nostalgic love of lego.
I think alot of the hype around minecraft is based on Youtube. People see others playing it, then say to themselves "I can do better then that" or "I can survive longer".
Some of the most popular games recently aren't neciserrily the best graphics or gameplay, they're just pure fun XD, for example, Happy Wheels.
My other sig was too big, so here's a nice boring one for you....
