railroberto Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I bought it and played about 30 minutes. I couldnt figure out what i was supposed to be doing or what there was to do. I also didnt find it very enjoyable but i did pay 20 bucks for it and i got a big goose egg on my trophy list. What am i supposed to do in this gams and does it get better?

PainOfDemise Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ever play Minecraft? It's pretty much like that. Kill shit and build shit. That's about the jist of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazen Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I played it as an adventure game. Exploring tunnels/caves, fighting bosses. Getting better weapons/armor and building the perfect house for my new tenants. This game may not seem like a lot at first, but as you keep playing it really gets immersing. I personally like it better than minecraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkByke Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The game sucks when you start off with nothing. Get someone to give you decent tools to mine with and fight and you'll enjoy it better. After enough time you craft and get the right materials to go after things you want, and set your own goals. There's mini bosses around, you just need the items to summon them.

PaladinRoland Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just think of it as exploring a vast unknown world and then it may all start coming together... So make a shelter, get some supplies and just go exploring. By the way there really isn't any story either or main objectives. You may or not come up with these yourself.

wrestlefanatic77 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 These types of games are not for everyone. If you have no interest in being creative, avoid these games at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Ate Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I loved Minecraft. I bought it for the PS3 and then again for the PS4. Sunk probably close to 300 hours into it between the two. Terraria just sucks. Controls are awful, aiming is so inaccurate, the tutorial world glitched on me within 10 minutes of playing, inventory and the HUD is poorly laid out. The whole experience that I played was just terrariable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like Terraria was meant to be played on the PC, I've sunk 300+ hours into it on Steam. I agree the controls are pretty bad on the consoles. Trust me, it is way better on the PC; the PC is more updated, I believe. Same goes for Minecraft. These sandbox games just play better with a mouse and keyboard.

Bombstriker Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I am very confused by this thread. What is the purpose of the game??? I'm confused as to why you didn't research it before you threw $20 at it. I'm not hurting for money in any way but I wouldn't just throw $20 at a game I had no clue what it was about. It is in the sandbox genre, think of it as a 2D Minecraft, but with bosses. I have played both for MANY MANY MANY hours and honestly I prefer Terraria over Minecraft. Mainly for the reason that it has bosses and better things to strive for and do. I will admit the controls on the PS4 for Terraria takes a while to get used to. I have put all my time in on PC but just now bought it on PS4. It is tricky and after coming from the PC you can see the gameplay is going to be slower. Bottomline... PC Version > Console Version Terraria > Minecraft Do some research before you buy a game haha, that will save you from wasting money lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ I played the demo for Terraria a few days ago and just couldn't get on with it, mainly for the reasons you've listed but also because everything is so zoomed out that I had a hard time seeing what I was doing . I'm not a fan of this or Minecraft but find Minecraft easier to play, since it's in a First Person perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyKnight Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I remember playing the demo on the Xbox 360. To me it was a bad rip off of Mineraft. It sounds like a lot of people bought it and thought the same. Fortunately I didn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch the touch pad on your controller (just like you zoom in on an iPad). It actually can zoom in too far haha. As I said the controls can be awkward to learn but I'm already comfortable with it. It still isn't as easy as it is on the PC but that is expected. Still extremely fun and everyone has their own opinions, mine is I enjoy Terraria much better. It's funny, I was playing Minecraft getting the DLC trophies just a couple weeks ago and the entire time it just made me want to play Terraria so I went out and bought for the PS4 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked all over for a solution to that problem and couldn't find anything . I hate it when games fail to explain such basic concepts, then expect you to spend hours figuring it out for yourself .
