This discussion is all over the internet, and I'm pretty sure most of you are aware of it. Minecraft and Roblox are two competing games. People say Minecraft is better because of the gameplay. People say Roblox sucks because of the community. But here's the truth: WHO CARES?! The player should be able to choose what game they want to play themselves, and not be judged over the internet by what they play! This is an exact forum post on Roblox made by me:
Everybody has their own opinion, but this article is just going way too far. You don't have to insult Minecraft just because they have more players. Java is a very powerful language, and Lua is less commonly used. Roblox does not run on Cpp, and You can easily download a Resource pack and get realistic pictures in seconds, without having to use a tool to manually apply decals to every single side of every single brick in your world. In my opinion, I think Minecraft is better because the community is sadly, way better than Roblox. On Roblox, there are way more Trollers and Griefers than on Minecraft. And Roblox does not copy Minecraft because it was released way earlier than Minecraft. You have to look on both sides of the argument before you start insulting a game. I know from experience that Java is harder to script than Lua anyways, and those people at Mojang are actually able to make a more than decent game with a way more advanced language. Roblox is good, but the coding is so simple you just CAN'T do the things on Roblox that you can do on Minecraft. It's the truth. Java has way more possibilities than Lua. I'm sure more than half the Roblox players would agree. And if you want to hate on this post, then I bet you haven't even player Minecraft. You can even watch a video on it. Then, you'll see the possibilities of Minecraft and what you can do with Java.
It is in reply to an article that says "Minecraft Sucks." The author of that topic has obviously not played Minecraft at all. This is what he posted:
Minecraft just stinks in my opinion. I will support my opinion by proving many facts and statements, and so on.
Minecraft can be a great and enjoyable game. But, at some times, it can fail so bad. Having to punch tree trunks in first person with only your fists should be enough to deter most people from playing this thing.
The whole time Minecraft existed, there were trolls. They did sorts of crazy unimaginable things, such as cover the outside of your buildings completely in lava, or set a trap door nearby your chest. Maybe even spawn some diamond ore with a creeper nearby...
Minecraft says you can build unlimited things and use your imagination. But that was a waste of time. The more things you build, the more laggier it gets! You'd be lucky to last a whole minute in any building server without any lag.
With ROBLOX, the speed is usually fair, and it's all the same. With an empty baseplate, you get the same speed as you would with a baseplate filled with random buildings. Lag is such a terrible thing. Thank the creators ROBLOX doesn't have it as much.
Lets go to another category: the graphics. Above all, they are completely HORRID. Sure, there's mods for that, but why waste your time with mods when in ROBLOX you can just use decals? Decals are very easy to create while mods are time-consuming.
In my opinion (READ CAREFULLY, this is MY opinion) ROBLOX is WAY better than Minecraft. Let me compare the two games, ok?
ROBLOX: Overpriced sales for B.C, T.B.C, and O.B.C.
Minecraft: Only $20 and you can play the game FOREVER. In some cases, Minecraft is also free to download.
ROBLOX: They were advertising since 2007 or something and they only got a few million players.
Minecraft: This game started in 2009 with NO advertising, and they have more players than ROBLOX.
ROBLOX: Admins abuse their 'admin powers' and ban anybody they do not now.
Minecraft: Admins actually BAN those who troll, hack, grief, etc.
ROBLOX: Smooth and easy controls. Can be played on almost any console or handheld device available.
Minecraft: Difficult and choppy controls on handheld devices.
ROBLOX: Great texture pack design and graphics setting!
Minecraft: Bad texture pack design and no graphics setting.
ROBLOX: No mods. So what? You don't need mods to enjoy a game.
Minecraft: Mods. Who cares?
ROBLOX: Millions and millions of items you can use to customize your avatar!
Minecraft: Same as ROBLOX, but with lesser features.
ROBLOX: They care about what we say!
MInecraft: They just care about money...
ROBLOX: Can rely on admins to ban abusive players!
Minecraft: Admins ban people in a server at an average of 10 people an hour.
ROBLOX: Can post certain links.
Minecraft: Can post any links, but unable to copy from the chat bar.
ROBLOX: You can say anything you like on the forums.
Minecraft: You can only say certain things in the forums.. -_-
I think I've proved my point. Seriously guys! Plain and simply, ROBLOX is all-around much better than Minecraft, having much better features, improved settings, and superior graphics (with the help of decals hehehehe).
Here's some other stuff I would like to add. This is a CRUCIAL part in gameplay. You don't pay, you can't pay. That's how Minecraft works. ROBLOX is a different story: you can play online for free if you'd like!
Minecraft is very terrible to players of a young age. Survival mode can be scary experiences for them (this is no joke, I once got a nightmare of a zombie horde coming to my house and knocking down the door when I was 9). ROBLOX is more well-known than Minecraft.
Here's why: I made a survey of the two games and tried to see who liked which game better. The winning game is ROBLOX. Despite hackers, noobs, guests, and OD'ers, you can ACTUALLY enjoy the game without any lag!
The graphics on ROBLOX are also way better than Minecraft. You're probably thinking that the graphics are just about the same, but ROBLOX's graphics can be tweaked with the decals and that amazing graphic setting.
You may still think that ROBLOX is originally bad with graphics but, to be honest, Minecraft runs about 1.5 frames per second. ROBLOX's animations are very smooth. Minecraft's walk animations look really laggy.
Now you're probably thinking that ROBLOX doesn't have scripting and not much stuff to do. Well, ROBLOX runs from C++. Minecraft runs from java. You can easily experience great gameplay without the fear of terrible lag!
Sadly it is true that ROBLOX copies Minecraft. They made a terrain generator just like Minecraft's. But, it's SO much better and more smooth (in my opinion).
Some people may say that you don't have to pay for Minecraft. But the question is, why wouldn't you pay for Minecraft? You don't pay, you can't play (as mentioned before). Simple as that. You can go on ROBLOX for FREE!
Well, that's pretty much it. Please state something in the comments if you think I've made a mistake or something. Please, no rude or negative comments! Treat my opinion with great respect as I would to yours.
This is another reply to that topic:
Minecraft can be a great and enjoyable game. But, at some times, it can fail so bad. Having to punch tree trunks in first person with only your fists should be enough to deter most people from playing this thing.
You don't have to play in first person. And if you don't get wood, how else would you survive?
The whole time Minecraft existed, there were trolls. They did sorts of crazy unimaginable things, such as cover the outside of your buildings completely in lava, or set a trap door nearby your chest. Maybe even spawn some diamond ore with a creeper nearby...
True, but think of Roblox to.
Minecraft says you can build unlimited things and use your imagination. But that was a waste of time. The more things you build, the more laggier it gets! You'd be lucky to last a whole minute in any building server without any lag.
It just based on how your good your computer is. HOWEVER, Roblox is less laggier than Minecraft.

Minecraft was MEANT to be a block game. A pure block game. Don't judge a game by it's graphics.
ROBLOX: Overpriced sales for B.C, T.B.C, and O.B.C.
Minecraft: Only $20 and you can play the game FOREVER. In some cases, Minecraft is also free to download.
Yep.
ROBLOX: They were advertising since 2007 or something and they only got a few million players.
Minecraft: This game started in 2009 with NO advertising, and they have more players than ROBLOX.
Minecraft wins for that one.
ROBLOX: Admins abuse their 'admin powers' and ban anybody they do not now.
Minecraft: Admins actually BAN those who troll, hack, grief, etc.
True.
ROBLOX: Smooth and easy controls. Can be played on almost any console or handheld device available.
Minecraft: Difficult and choppy controls on handheld devices.
People's opinion.
ROBLOX: Great texture pack design and graphics setting!
Minecraft: Bad texture pack design and no graphics setting.
...
ROBLOX: No mods. So what? You don't need mods to enjoy a game.
Minecraft: Mods. Who cares?
Mods makes life better, deal with it.
ROBLOX: Millions and millions of items you can use to customize your avatar!
Minecraft: Same as ROBLOX, but with lesser features.
Roblox customizing features cost money. Minecraft's is practically free. You can even choose in Minecraft if you're a lazy bum bum, or if you're creative, you can make your own outfit. But sure, Roblox does have more features than Minecraft on that.
ROBLOX: They care about what we say!
MInecraft: They just care about money...
I actually LOL'ed on that one. Pretty much Both of them care about money.
ROBLOX: Can rely on admins to ban abusive players!
Minecraft: Admins ban people in a server at an average of 10 people an hour.
LOLNO. I don't know about the Minecraft one, yes ROBLOX ban abusive players. But not always. If you mean ingame admins, they are abusive. If you mean ROBLOX admins, back in the past, they banned people for no reason.
ROBLOX: Can post certain links.
Minecraft: Can post any links, but unable to copy from the chat bar.
You can click on a link and use copy clipboard...
ROBLOX: You can say anything you like on the forums.
Minecraft: You can only say certain things in the forums.. -_-
This one is actually both anything you like.
I think I've proved my point. Seriously guys! Plain and simply, ROBLOX is all-around much better than Minecraft, having much better features, improved settings, and superior graphics (with the help of decals hehehehe).
Decals aren't so bad.
Here's some other stuff I would like to add. This is a CRUCIAL part in gameplay. You don't pay, you can't pay. That's how Minecraft works. ROBLOX is a different story: you can play online for free if you'd like!
Why do you think Minecraft costs money. (It's a game that deserves money)
Minecraft is very terrible to players of a young age. Survival mode can be scary experiences for them (this is no joke, I once got a nightmare of a zombie horde coming to my house and knocking down the door when I was 9). ROBLOX is more well-known than Minecraft.
At least it teaches how to survive. And most kids at that age aren't going to be
THAT scared.
Here's why: I made a survey of the two games and tried to see who liked which game better. The winning game is ROBLOX. Despite hackers, noobs, guests, and OD'ers, you can ACTUALLY enjoy the game without any lag!
That's it. The only good thing about Roblox is that it doesn't lag. Noobs, Guests, ODers, FNEFIEF)#J)W!
You may still think that ROBLOX is originally bad with graphics but, to be honest, Minecraft runs about 1.5 frames per second. ROBLOX's animations are very smooth. Minecraft's walk animations look really laggy.
Sometimes.
Now you're probably thinking that ROBLOX doesn't have scripting and not much stuff to do. Well, ROBLOX runs from C++. Minecraft runs from java. You can easily experience great gameplay without the fear of terrible lag!
Here's something good about Roblox number two. You can script.
Sadly it is true that ROBLOX copies Minecraft. They made a terrain generator just like Minecraft's. But, it's SO much better and more smooth (in my opinion).

Some people may say that you don't have to pay for Minecraft. But the question is, why wouldn't you pay for Minecraft? You don't pay, you can't play (as mentioned before). Simple as that. You can go on ROBLOX for FREE!
Why do you think ROBLOX is free.
Overall, I disagree with you. There are some points where I agree, but most points I disagree. I don't think Roblox is a bad game, but I think that Minecraft is better. But the reason why I am more commonly on ROBLOX because it doesn't lag and you don't need to download any mods. Mods in Minecraft are great, but the process into downloading it confuses me. I still think that Minecraft is a better game though. The only reason why I don't actualy love Roblox, I will tell you three words. God Damn Bronies.
