Terraria was fun for maybe one day :P After that I had achieved everything.
Though that was long ago, maybe it's been updated.


Terraria is no longer updated, for like 2 years now. Its dev is working in Starbound team now. Nevertheless, those games aren't really about achieving everything, but about building, surviving and having fun.


There's some recent news on Terraria. There's a major patch coming out (no dates given) with a ton of new content, some of which came from the XBLA version, other is new. (Saw the news item on Steam.) http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/24/check ... 0&ns_fee=0

Yeah, but he seems to be working on it, according to the dev logs. <3 DF

I would have liked terraria more if I could have found a permadeath server, that allowed pvp, with new characters. People flying around shooting their megasharks isn't that fun if there's no real risk involved.

Do you use mods for DF? I tried the ultimate fortress mod which adds some extra flora and fauna, new animals and realistic farming but when using visualizer, some of the animals don't show up. Just look like symbols.

Just a graphics mod and dwarf therapist. They came in the super newb pack, so I got used to them. I just like how it doesn't look so dark.

Same here, using phoebus tiles and the therapist, it saves so much time!

Sort of combination of UO and Diablo 2.. No multiplayer is a real downer here.
