    I really couldnt tell you a point for the game. But its really a fun game. I was kinda like you are at first its not really visually impressive and I asked whats the point to. I gave it a try and for some reason I enjoyed it. It became somewhat of an addiction for awhile. Its even fun playing coop with friends on it. I really think you should try it. When it originally came out on xbox there was a demo to download. See if the demo is still there and give it a chance. You might like it.

    You can get the demo but most of my friends that tries the demo hated it. Once I convinced them to get the full game they really enjoy playing. Add me if you need any help if you decide to get it.

    The guy above me explained it very well haha, you build, mine, and farm. If you like to just build creative mode is good for that. I personally like survival mode where there's a challenge of having to find food, shelter, and battle against the the spiders creepers and zombies.

    There really isn't a point. That is why it got so popular. Minecraft is a sandbox game where you can build or do almost anything you want. It even has modding support so there are infinite possibilities on what can be done.

    There isn't really a point to the game. It's just fun to play and you can relax while playing it.

    Mindless repetition, really. It's a game meant to relax you, It isn't very competitive or complicated, and it also gives you enough freedom to just do what you want. It's a inherently boring game because it's meant to be relaxing, so It isn't for everyone, really.

    It's been over a year since I last played it, but when I did I enjoyed digging, building, trying to create objectives for myself and whatnot. Nowadays I'm more a fan of Terraria, because o the amount of content.

    Minecraft is a good game on its own right, but it's not really content-heavy, and self-imposed of objectives are simply not fun for a lot of people,

    It's a sandbox game, there's no "point" to it, you can play it infinitely. It all comes down to what you do in the game, there are a lot of possibilities and things to build! :p

    I honestly think it is just to have fun within the game. To explore within it and test out your abilities and skills.

    It's a creative and strategic type of game. It's meant for the person playing it to create and strategize.

    I think each game has it's own way to be viewed honestly. we can't be sure on things around in the game verses.
