I'm not trying to sell anyone on anything. I'm just giving honest information about the game to someone who has already said they don't intend on playing it. I was addressing what is a common complaint about the game.

For context, I absolutely devoured that lackluster early game back in 2011. It's just that as the game has gotten content over the years, it's mostly been added to the latter half (probably like 2/3rds really) of the game. And also, games and peoples' tastes have changed a lot since 2011 when the game came out.

So for me, today, the early game is a slog. And it's something I've seen many others complain about. I understand the "it gets better" is often used to try to sell lackluster games, but I don't think Terraria fits that bill. But the game legitimately gets better after the first few bosses for most peoples' tastes.
