This game didnt die it just never lived 💀💀💀💀

Minecraft dungeons soared so legends could trip and fall

What irks me is that Minecraft Dungeons was basically shut down just before Minecraft LIVE, while this one didn't have that yet, I was so excited for Dungeons, and I felt it retained far more of a player base, it just needed something fresh and more major in my eyes. Feels like it was passed over for this, only for this to be dumped too

The game died the day it came out 💀 I realized it came out a entire week after release

I never even knew that there was a lego set for it...

I feel like Minecraft as a whole has failed to utilize their game as a brand to cross promote their other products. They have so many neat expansions on Bedrock utilizing other properties, but I have yet to see anything from Legends, Dungeons, or even Earth be incorporated into the main game. Imagine expanding the mobs, biomes, and blocks to reflect these new releases? Imagine coming across a Redstone Guardian and their stronghold in a similar manner to discovering an Ancient City in current Minecraft. I love the concept of there being a evil piglin mob that is exclusive to nether biomes to reflect their tribe. Introduce more structures to fight these new boss mobs. ALL of the mob variants from Earth. So many missed opportunities.

The game still has hope through mods! The first "Community Lost Legend" with playable goose and vanilla minecraft player enemies is coming next week to celebrate 1 year since launch.

They spent so much on the visuals and merch that they forgot to focus on the part that actually matters... The gameplay. There's very little to do after beating the game, and the multiplayer is extremely lacking. They screwed over this game from the start, which is a shame because it has so much potential. :(

10:45 in theory, random generation of maps allows for more replayability since you can have unlimited amount of maps, which means each match is a different experience. And in theory you would have to adapt to each map differently. RTS Games like War Selection do random generated maps and make each match slightly different.

They need to create a Minecraft Dungeons 2 with more features. Minecraft dungeons still stands till this day and has an amazing community till this day. Minecraft dungeons is arguably THE best minecraft spinoff.

I just remember beating this game on the second day after release and the game had next to no replay ability let alone being super short

Rest in peace Minecraft Dungeons, we hope (even if extremely unlikely) you return one day.

Minecraft spin offs are difficult. Story Mode was probably the best spin off as the story carried it. The updates were additions to the story so audances could be excited for it, even if they didn't play it. Story also creates a connection with the environment. In vanilla you make the world into your own, you get familiar with your local area which you may have plans for. Dungeons and Legends seem to both focus on combat. Dungeons had one benefit of being first in that regard. They also go into the relm of Strategy, possibly adventure. They both have story, but thats not the focus. I am guessing that dungeons was better. Talking of their focus on combat style games. Minecraft has a broud playerbase. Some have been playing for 10+ years and can barely say they've defeated the Ender Dragon. Point is, a lot of the playerbase are more creative focused. The builders and the Redstoners. Some players want a more challenging survival game, possibly the Grind. Possibly make a Life Sim and go in the opposite direction to most games in that genre. Oh yeah, I fogot about Minecraft earth...

Love your editing and filming style. Another great video just like the Minecraft on New 3DS one. Minecraft legends was a really fun time for me. For about two weeks I had a lot of fun playing the campaign in coop with some friends. But after that I never touched it again sadly.

I really do wish the game was given the chance to better flesh itself out it’s a shame we’ll never see the true potential of minecraft. I hope one day they make an attempt to revive the game as I believe it truly could have been something great. Also the same goes for minecraft dungeons but mainly because I just want to see more of that game!

Damn this video made me genuinely laugh in a tough time. Lots of love, youre doing amazing!

I didn’t even know it came out yet

I feel like if Legends was a pure rts game instead of having the player avatar aspect, maybe it would play and sell a lot better.

still remember going into online 5 days after release and not finding a single game

2:07 see the human female with the red hair? To me she’s always looked like Petra from Minecraft Story mode. My head canon is that she is Petra’s Ancestor.

I'm surprised they haven't tried to create the obvious best spinoff game... A game in the art style of the mob/biome vote trailers! Perhaps an adventure puzzle platformer idk, I just wanna play in that adorable little world!

Def your best video yet, I love the skits!

It was dead the moment they attached the name Minecraft to it, the idea of the gameplay is very interesting but they had to shoehorn minecraft into it, which meant making it simpler, and less satisfying, if they had expanded on the concept and didn't dedicate so much time to the minecraft part, and more on the gameplay part, it would have had a chance to develop at least a dedicated community even if not too big, but they sold 3 million copies, they made their money, so they don't give a shit, they will just keep doing it, because it's easier than making an actual game

This makes me so sad… Thousands of man hours from dozens of supremely talented artists just wasted. My little brother loves Minecraft. He got a Legends lego set for his birthday, and he loved it. And he was excitedly talking about how there is a Minecraft spinoff out there, and about all the cool monsters it has I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that the game is dead, and will not be remembered by anyone in about 6 months from now

What miffs me about this game gettimg abandoned not even a year after is i loved this game i wanted to see more stuff added through it and it came out the day before my birthday, so i was super excited about playimg it, but now there isn't even gonna be a anniversary celebration for it and it makes me kinda sad

Imagine if the development resources used in this game instead went into Minecraft updates.... Imagine where we would be

I worked at house of how for the on the development of the dlc myths it was kind of a nightmare to work on that project, we were given very little direction and limited support from the main developers. we had to figure out how to mod the game with zero tools without understanding how the base game worked at all lol.

Minecraft Legends is what happens when you take a game about rejecting everything that's wrong with the games industry and make a spinoff which is everything that's wrong with the games industry.

Personally i really liked minecraft legends. The procedural map encouraged me to come back to the story mode a couple times to try it on harder difficulties, but after that i just ran out of things to do. I think they expected the multiplayer to carry peoples attention while they worked on the lost legends but i didnt have any friends who had the game and communication is really important with strategy games like that, solo-queues and unranked matchmaking force every match to be a coinflip as to whether your team screws you or not, theres also the fact that if you DID have friends you couldnt choose what team you got placed on at launch (they might have fixed that? I dont remember). That and the fact that once you beat the campaign that's it for PvE, if you want more your only chance is to abandon your several hours of progress and start fresh. I loved the core gameplay loop, the problem i found with it was that it just didnt have enough. They could have adapted the story mode into something similar to the bloons freeplay mode where once you beat it you can continue playing knowing that it infinitely gets harder until you inevitably lose, where the fun comes in seeing how long you can last, i feel like that way i would come back more to see if i can beat my best score, learning from faults in my strategy and coming back to improve, rather than having something thats good enough to finish and calling it a day, only coming back because i feel like getting the same experience again. That and an improved matchmaking system could have gotten people to stick around long enough for them to justify fixing some of the games other faults

Been playing Pikmin since I was a kid, huge fan of the series. I saw this game as a huge opportunity for me to spend some time while waiting for the release of Pikmin 4. Only after playing it for 3 days, I gave up on it; never looked back and instead had a great time playing Pikmin 4. Good thing I didn’t actually bought it, you could play it with Xbox game pass.

Enjoyed this! Commenting for engagement

I played it once, forgot about it a couple of days later

Why can’t they just update the original game instead of making these pointless spinoffs. Oh! I get it! 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💸💸💸💸💵💵💸💵💵

I think your capture card has a screen tearing issue. I noticed a horizontal seam along many clips of gameplay

You’re dutch? 😮 i love your editing and jokes btw, very fun!

7:30 the big difference between this and pikmin: you have deadline in pikmin or else you have to restart the whole game

What else did you expect. All Minecraft IPs die and they pull them. Mojang really doesn’t care when the Minecraft spin offs go belly up. Dungeons has enough fan base to keep going. They stop that to. They don’t care.

first 3 seconds and android, ios, mac are not gaming platforms great video

Fun fact it just came out as a free game for ps + (PS4/PS5 gamepass)

Mojang basically just teased us all this stuff that they're never going to give us in the REAL game and made it seem like they were going to give us some more Lore, all as bait to get us to play this other game. When all the time, we players just want them to put all that stuff in MC. It was only a matter of time before players realized Legends had little if anything to do with what would eventually come to real MC. If legends was a GOOD game, then it wouldn't NEED to be MC skinned. It could have just been its own IP. They knew it wasn't a good enough game to stand on its own, so they dressed it up like an MC spin-off.

I want to add something no one else has It literally broke Minecraft for me I play on PlayStation and downloaded day one because yk i like dungeons so maybe I’ll like legends when I got in tho I accidentally logged into my alt and For some reason on base Minecraft it logged me out and logged me into my alt and when I tried to log out it would glitch went through the trouble of getting my account to work for all the marketplace stuff I bought (don’t judge I don’t do that anymore old me did) was gone I eventually got in contact with Microsoft and they got some things back but some things I payed for were just locked behind a paywall again when I brought it up they gave 20$ of mine coins (will say Minecraft customer support was really nice they did a good job and were super kind and understanding just Minecraft itself or something out of their control deleted my stuff because I logged into an entirely different game on the wrong account accidentally)

Both Spin off games had one problem, They never gave their community a good accessible way to let people share their ideas.

As someone who absolutely LOVES strategy games, i would've loved something akin to a 4x or a grand strategy game instead of what we got.

10:14 this part reminds me of some of the issues with bioshock infinite but that was fun and not filled to the brim with micro transactions

Besides uninspired game play, even just trying to queue up with a friend was impossible. It's like they didn't want us to play with our friends. Instead, it would try to auto fill lobbies with nearly completed games. So multiplayer was unplayable. And generally a live service does best when the multiplayer carries the game. But it was clear that single player mode was the focus.

Literally just remake MCSM and give it 3 seasons for fricks sake. I JUST WANT PETRA BAAACK!!

i've played this game only because i could play it from the xbox game pass, it was fun for the first few rounds but then its just the same shit all over again. Also guiding your army was such a bothersome task, i would create a bridge and half of my army will not be able to cross it. i would just stand in place and wait for my army to destroy a building. peak level gameplay

playint gt with your feet earned you a sub

In the next 2 days the game is gonna be 1 year old Yeah no one is playing this today The ven diagram of minecraft players and rts players are two unconnected circles

Great video. I got xbox game pass to play this game for free back then, but then I noticed there's no local coop. So i couldn't play with my friend. I immediately shut off the game and had no further interest.

I find it hilarious how dungeons was supposed to last a year and turned into an amazing game that they left while they poured everything into legends and people despised it

I really love Minecraft and RTS games and its a shame the strategy in this RTS game was so underused and not so well linked with Minecrafts sandbox aspects. I have a couple ideas as to how the game could have been more fun. It should have taken more inspiration from popular RTS games. 11:40 I think resources finding should have been more randomized and surprising similar to Siedler 4. In Siedler 4 you send out Geologists to find out which resources are where and how many of them are in each spot in the mountains. So instead of knowing where diamonds are on the map, finding diamonds would actually be a exciting and lucky feeling like in OG Minecraft. And if you needed more Gold for example, then you could have headed to a biom that generally has more of that resource like a Mesa / Badlands biome. The geologist could be replaced with a special mob to find the ores. To randomized generation of the villages: I completly agree with you, it should have been more simular to Minecraft Dungeons and MC generation. With actual roads, houses, walls and other things. Upgrading villages and actually needing to puzzle your own creative defenses for the villages, while utilizing terrain to do so, would have been nice. 16:00 Completly agree with you. To the combat: What if you actually needed to utilize different units to win the game and not just spam 1 unit? What if you had walls and you would have to put skeleton archers on them simular to stronghold? Different hordes of piglins or zombified piglins coming to attack you from north with your skeleton archers there. You realize the second wave comes from the west and you don't have enough towers there. Thus, you move your skeleton archers from the north wall to the west wall and survive the wave that way. Putting down the skeleton archers on the ground makes them too vulnerable. You could even go and make the villages more interesting. What if you had a breach in the wall, zombified piglins came in and infected a villager in the villager house, making a zombie villager. Quickly the initial zombie caused a exponential growth in zombies, thus you have to stop the infection from infecting the rest of the village. Else, you'll be overwhelmed by villager zombies simular to the game They are Billions. Heck, the game They are Billions has still 4 thousand players mostly coming from the different difficulties in the campaign levels and the USER, not some company, USER generated content on the workshop. It has so many custom levels on there, even some Tower Defense maps. And that game is from 2017 and hasn't received a huge update in a while. Yet it is doing way better than legends ever was. They should have taken more inspiration from other RTS games. In the end, I still have so many ideas for a minecraft RTS game and maybe I'll someday put some of them into reality using a custom map or mod. Minecraft legends and the concept of a minecraft RTS game has so potential, but sadly it has not been used much. If you have read this comment to the fullest, I hope you leave a reply and tell me what you think.

Not even BFN failed this fast How do you frick up THIS hard

The worst thing is both spin offs done minecraft better than minecraft, from the nether update to the biome upgrades, yet still mc legends failed to even get me interested, and I was very much into the idea

I had hoped that there would be a separate campaign for playing as the Piglins, if not at release then eventually. Oh to dream of what could have been.

Probably should've just gone the Halo Wars route. It's a great strategy game which works for console really well. Minecraft could even dip into it's Microsoft connections to get some of that Halo Wars staff.

I dont get why it has to be MINECRAFT specifically, trying to make it anything other than a sandbox has never worked. I dont get it, Mojang has other IPs, why not make a new Cobalt, or create a new IP? Making Minecraft a ‘multimedia’ IP has not and will not ever work - at this point, the Minecraft IP has more failed unnecessary spinoffs than it has successful ones.

This would've worked so much better if the base wasn't always on the center of the map, the bastions had some semi-randomized layout for the portal positioning and no need for mining resources yourself but use the aid of Villagers to gather resources so there's a reason why you're saving them beyond being a good guy.

1:11 hint: it wanted to be the background music's second game but learned absolutely nothing prior to being made.

had to sub, the jokes had me rolling 😂

I despised Minecraft Legends from its inception. Mojang has divided its development team to focus on spin-offs when it should have used its resources to focus on improving the base game. There are so many issues that still exist with the base vanilla game and the updates are so disappointing anymore! Minecraft Legends is responsible for my loss of love for Minecraft completely.

THE PRICING IS RESICULPUS LIKE CMON ITS 2024 stop making games with paid access and micro transactions greedy

personally I don't think it's legends fault it's mojang's for not knowing what makes Minecraft GOOD in the first place & expanding that concept into an RTS

This happens to every Minecraft project that isn’t the original original earth dungeons it’s super unsuccessful. It’s seriously unsuccessful for them. I don’t get why they try to do these side projects anymore. It loses them money. I feel like if they just release these games as their own standalone thing and didn’t connect it to Minecraft then it might actually have a chance of being successful because the Minecraft brand draws in a lot of kids and other stuff things that these are exactly intended for because they expect one thing when they hear the Minecraft brand. Idk though

crazy how on just 3 min you already repeated the same point you said at the start twice lol im not hating, the video is very good imo, i just thought it was funny

Idk if this is true or not but I read somewhere (the wiki I think) that the deluxe edition for the switch is about 6 gigs, while the steam version is *24 gigs* somehow. How in the hell is there such a big discrepancy? Also I specify the deluxe edition, because for whatever reason the standard edition for the switch is 7 gigs. None of this makes sense to me.

All they had to do was make it like Mario Maker, but they didn't

Fun fact, they made the bedrock engine (From the console/windows 10/phone versions) into a proper..well engine, and then used it for both dungeons and legends. Thats why its so flexible, and extra sad that we dont have deeper access to it

I checked it out from the library to play on my Switch. Glad it was free because the performance was awful and the game kept crashing. When it did function properly it was actually pretty fun. MC Dungeons also has performance issues on switch and I’ve only ever read that MC is awful on the console. It’s disappointing that Microsoft/Mojang have released all of their products on Switch with no quality control.

It would be easy to make a cool minecraft spinoff. Just make some dungeon crawler/exploration game with deep rpg and roguelite mechanics, allow creative stuff and placing blocks. Make it like Zelda botw in terms of exploration and story but random. But that's essentially like modded minecraft.

The best by date bit genuinely made me laugh out loud

I played the game, It just didn't do what it set out to do well and was not very fun after the first playthrough. There was no replayability as the game felt the same everytime.

A: Spend a lot of time on a game that becomes boring after 1 hour (months of work) B: Bring a mob back from an earlier mob vote and add it to the game (a few hours of work)

They should really add the mobs from minecraft legends ta minecraft, that way it can live on in memory

This game should have just been a Dynasty Warrior styles power fantasy simulator

pikmin 2 ost mentioned

yo, how many subs did you gain since that minecraft 3ds video? i'm just curious.

This is why Dungeons should get more updates, it's a better, well thought out game compared to Legends. I was so excited to play Minecraft Legends, but it flopped a week after i bought. It didn't live up to expectations, such a disappointment and unfinished game.

Idek why this is considered a Minecraft game. Feels like they slapped the MC title onto Legends in hopes it would sell more copies.

I didn't even know that Legends was a different game from dungeons...

how can a game die when nobody even wanted to play it to begin with

The moment I saw that this game would have Marketplace content, I lost interest.

To be honest, I have one Minecraft legend merch in my house is the piglin

Tbh I didn’t even realize this game released, not that I had any interest in playing in the first place.

Not a bad concept, but poor execution! Also, it was crazy expensive for such a small and repetitive game! No bad feelings though...

This game died so soon, we can call it a miscarriage

When will they realize they should just make an end update instead of spin-offs

Gone the way of PvZ battle for neighborvill

This game was stuck in the hospital the moment it released

Didn't know about that event

Bro I forgot this game existed lmao 💀

I honestly kinda hoped this game would be good when I first saw the trailer. I wanted to see a good game that took Minecraft and tried translating it into an RTS of sorts. But alas you can all see how it turned out in the end. Edit: What really killed it for me is both how bland and useless the player is in fights. You have only one attack that is only half decent at dealing with enemy swarms. No ranged attacks. No building killers or abilities or hurt buildings at all. No upgrades to your main leader to make them more fun or interesting. I would have settled for a linear upgrade path that gives you 1 new move per boss killed. But no, as far as I can tell there is 0 upgrades to your move set in the whole game.

Dead game or not, this video makes me really want to go snag a copy on the switch. Probably will honestly.

For a second I got excited cause I thought this was dungeons failing.

Meanwhile terraria: Hah i don't even have a sequel

I loved the game, but I think Minecraft:Dungeons and storymode is better.

Hey not gonna lie that Minecraft legends Lego sera is fire ngl

A reason why it failed is because of the tutorial At the point of of 3 bases spawning and you have to go too one by one Instead of having 3 different enemy base you have to destroy that all show off one mechanic which makes the player board of the game They could of just made it be 1 base with all the stuff so the player doesn’t get board

Mojang as a whole seem like an unfocused and lazy company, they have a lot of employees and resources to really make something good but they waste their time on half baked products that are left to die immediately after release to focus on new DOA games. Even with the updates to the main game they seem to struggle to add something substantial, they rather just add new micro transactions to the store and maybe a new mobs once in a while.

conclusion, give players freedom in the form of modding, purposeful unit variety, and a proper theme or goal, or perhaps let them make their own
