for those special people that dont get it
a while ago we were hitting on valve because they were making a shitload out of a game thats basically a clone(if not a fangame) of minecraft.
yet on portal 2's after hours book, there is this part where robin walker looks down on a game because "it looks too much like quake"
and this comes right from the screenshots displayed on after hours's page on steam.
now you could say "but it says team fortress is based off half life" and yes, it is. but there's a huge difference between half life and team fortress isnt it? even when they both work under the same mainframe, they're two completely different gaming experiences.

So... you're pretty much just calling Valve hypocrites?
Team Fortress isn't really a clone of Half Life because the gameplay is very different. They may run on the same engine, but that doesn't mean they're the same game.
The reason many call Terraria a MC clone is because Terraria uses the same gameplay ideas (cellular-automata world, mining, crafting) with seemingly few surface changes. Now, I wouldn't say they're the same game, but one very obviously takes much of its gameplay from the other.

to clear things up:
terraria from 1.0 to 1.0.6 was a little shitty
terraria with new char getting random ores is shitty, but once you get through all that shit the game starts to be epic
1.1 is the best version of terraria so far all of the previous versions may be considered shitty
also, speed up to 2:44 where you can actually see the difference between minecraft and terraria

oh look at that, this game actually has a semblance of content now
guess it's better than minecraft now (but that's not saying much)

its more of the same, with different colors.
that surely is going to expand on the formula.

Quite honestly, I've had more fun playing Terraria than I did for Minecraft.

well, to be fair, Minecraft isn't a game, it's a "chore simulator with a dragon"
