Terraria really isn't a game for me but I may have to buy it now anyway just so I can support this.

I don't know you, or what you know of the game. But I do know many people have preconceived notions of what the game is that are wrong.

If you haven't tried it before, the early game is pretty tedious. And that can turn people off. Once you get a few bosses down and especially when you move into hard mode, it really opens up.

Protip: "It gets better later" isn't a good way to promote a game.

It has to be good from the start.

If it isn't and it can't hook a player, you've just lost a customer, who likely just refunded the game as well.

Now personally: I like terraria from start to end. It got a bit boring in the middle. I used to not be able to play it at all because /something/ about the game really triggered my migraines. It doesn't anymore, and I can play it.

The issue is that "good" varies a lot from person to person. I like survival crafting games with an incremental tree of improvements more than boss rushes so for me it's good from the start.
