Minecraft is a lousy game 7

To begin my argument, I will take all the starting issues my opponent brings up and counter ague them, and then give my argument on why Minecraft is not "lousy", but great game. The first issue brought up by my opponent is that Minecraft is "laggy" and "glitchy". Two similar terms together where they are defined as: "A sudden, usually temporary, malfunction in the programming in the game". When someone plays lots of video games commonly, glitches and lags do occur, but that does not make a video game bad. Lets take other examples of games that are good and have some glitches: Halo is good and has its fair share of lag and glitches, but does that make the game bad; no. Another major game is Fallout 3, great game and some glitches and is not bad what so ever. To support my counter argument even further, my younger brother plays Minecraft a lot and he does not have a "high powered PC or laptop", just a 300 dollar laptop; and Minecraft still plays fine. An occasional glitch here and there, but nothing to common; or even noticeable. Even though a game has a few glitches, does not mean it is "lousy". Then you claim that Minecraft has bad graphics. I admit the graphics aren't the greatest, but how do graphics determine if a game is great or bad? Gameplay is the biggest factor when talking about how good or bad a game is in reality. Look at it like this, a game is like a "Bed". The mattress of this "Bed" is the story of the game, and the blankets are the Gameplay. The Gameplays job is to "cover" the story in a interactive experience for the player. The pillows are the support for the game (Graphics, Multiplayer, Etc.), and the pillows are one of the smallest factors when making the game. As long as the Gameplay is enjoyable, the game is fine. To support this fact, the biggest sellers in games are "Indie Titles". Examples being Meatboy and Shovel Knight, yet they don't have great graphics and still sell really well. So if your claiming the game has bad graphics, then why does it sell so well? For your issue with the games combat, what do you expect for a game where the title is called "Minecraft"? The title says what you do in the game; you mine and craft stuff; simple as that. This is not a game where killing enemies is a major priority, more like a minor priority. You also state that the game has too many bugs and a consistency of updates, whats wrong with that? Its great that a game cares enough to update their game, to fix issues, and always having something new in stored. Also, you claim that is addictive; and I must ask what is wrong with that? If you claim that it is addictive, then it must be fun; counter arguing your statement of being Pro for the topic given. And finally, for the Minecraft merchandise portion of your opening argument, it is not necessary to buy to have fun with the game. Minecraft is not a game where you have to pay to win. Now to my argument, I say that Minecraft is a great game because it does something that a lot of games lack nowadays; having the ability to be creative. When the player has control, it gives a fulfillment of owning your own world where you can create anything that you want. Because if the player has power, that gives a chance to spread your creativity, which can later support society in reality. Minecraft allows the individual to expand their creativity.
