Meu primeiro contato foi em 2014. Comecei jogando sozinho, e em 2015 comecei a jogar com alguns amigos. Minecraft não é um jogo limitado, mas como nós gostávamos de pvp, de youtubers que jogavam em servers de minigame, ou instalavam mods, etc. nós também queríamos, mas no pc era um jogo completamente diferente nesse aspecto, nos consoles era impossível baixar mods, entrar em server de minigames, etc. Então é aí que a criatividade reina, fazíamos mapas pra ficar igual os servers do pc, mapas com mini-games, ou seja, a famosa e na mais linda forma GAMBIARRA. Não era como no pc, mas com certeza nós nos divertimos muito nessa época, e muito por essa limitação que resolvemos quebrar com criatividade. Em meados de 2016-17, a mojang lançou uns 3 modos de minigames para os consoles, mas nós fomos tão além, que prefiríamos jogar nos nossos mapas que criamos doque jogar nesses novos modos. Minecraft ps3 foi um dos melhores momentos da minha vida.

It's pretty hard to give this game a true rating since Minecraft back then is not Minecraft now. This game has no nether update, no cave update and it's plagued with that annoying crafting feature the legacy editions have

BUT i do kinda love it

I loved experiencing the old nether, the basic caves and exploring the limited map size. It's probably nostalgia but this is Minecraft to me. The new Minecraft just doesn't feel like MINECRAFT

I like both though and I'm glad this time capsule is still around to be experienced like nothing ever changed

Damn what a nostalgic game that defined my childhood

I will say it definitely declined in interest as the updates kept going. Like, wtf is a Sniffer, bro? This shit ain't Minecraft

But this sparks so many amazing memories for me, I couldn't possible rank it any lower than 5 stars

People who follow me on some of my more active other sites probably know that I'm currently rewatching Achievement Hunter's Minecraft series and the memories of me playing this game back then are flooding back. When I watched them play Sky Factory I got the same urge to go back to Minecraft, too.

Minecraft: PlayStation® 3 Edition was one of, if not the first game I played in that generation of consoles. I don't remember my videogame life before I got my PS3 in early 2014 save for a few fleeting memories of the old PS2 games me and my brother played.

I still remember my first world. "Survival Island", I'd called it. And I'd absolutely fell in love with it. Every time I'd come home from school with my bedroom to myself I'd pretend I was making a YouTube video to myself. Just me, the CRT I still had (I wouldn't get a HD TV til the end of that year), and the world I still hold dear. Eventually I'd grown up, and the world got too outdated. I felt no reason to continue playing on that world as I'd decided to forgo everything I'd ever worked for and switch it to Creative to build something for my little YouTuber fantasies, blocking myself from ever earning trophies on that world again, and in turn, ever actually playing on it again.

After that, my copy of the game was mainly used for minigames, and for the neat trick you could do; downloading maps as saves off the internet. It seemed easy to do and I tried desperately to get in on it, building my own hunger games maps and city maps, both of which are still "in development" but never to be completed because they look like shit.

The memories I have of these worlds are actually memories of the worlds and not of the experience of playing them on original hardware because in order to play these worlds on the PS4 Edition, and by extension Bedrock, you have to upload each world you want upgraded to a "cloud", I guess? on the PS3 and in turn download that to the PS4. Individually.
My setup is only one HDMI and I feel like it's too much effort to find a second one just so I can invite however little friends I have to play a Hunger Games map that takes place in Bikini Bottom (actual map I have).

Fast forward to today and these old Minecraft videos spur on a wave of nostalgia for the "good old days" and I decide that today's going to be the day that I finally decide to try going for 100% (or at least the platinum trophy) in this game, a lot of which confuses me because I feel like an idiot not having many of these trophies. I guess that's what I get for using Creative like a Cheaty McCheaterson.

Opening many of the worlds I had downloaded online I realize that the majority of them are games that you play with people, that I probably never did play with people.

My old "Survival Island" world is just as it looked, although all of my tools are almost dead, and it's full enchanted everything that I definitely obtained legitimately.
On the front lawn is a railway that leads to a village that I probably named stupidly, a UFO for some reason that could also be a mob farm, and for some unexplained reason a giant pixel art statue of Bill Cipher from Disney's Gravity Falls with a glowing eye.

The world this all came from doesn't exist at all anymore and I'm not sure how, if I ever could, to find a way to start a new world that's identical to that one in the new Minecraft. Since I built this island home, the world generation has changed so much that writing down and painstakingly typing the seed into a new world loads me into a spawn where there's two woodland mansions not that far apart.

The game itself is very therapeutic, though. I had fun today mining resources and actually feeling like I'm accomplishing something, especially because there's no way to legitimately cheat this.
When me and my brother went for 100% on PS4 Bedrock I'd used a seed map to help out but due to how this works I'm pretty sure there's no real way to do something like that in this version. It's scary, going out into the world and not knowing what's where, or who I really am.
Crafting recipes engraved in my brain are useless here because they didn't exist yet. I feel like Marty McFly in 1955 here.

I ramble too much, don't I? I'm sorry!!! I set the start date as yesterday because that's when I started the new world I'm getting trophies on.
