bad gameplay lol
Hm, just checked this week's "The Drop" post on the PS Blog, and Terraria isn't listed in the "Demos" section. So it seems there may not be a demo on the PS3, though The Drop isn't always 100% accurate. Doesn't much matter to me, since I'm already sold on the game no matter what, but some may be disappointed (if it does indeed turn out there isn't a demo).

Double dipping day one.
Will triple dip if there is a Vita version (505 pls).
4 player split screen?! Icing on the cake.

Will download the 360 demo on Wed. Seems like a game better suited (for me anyway) to a handheld. So if I like it, Vita version might be in my future.

Great game. Definitely worth the money for anyone that hasn't played it.
Usually I only buy games that are available on both PS3 and Vita (then buy the Vita version if it's not Cross Buy/Play), but with Terraria, I'll make an exception.
Me and my wife played the shit out of this game on the PC, and we'll play the shit out of it on the PS3. Definite must buy. $14.99? Worth it in my opinion. Once they announce the Vita version, I'll get that one as well, and proceed to not play anything else on it for a long, long time. Damn, and I just started Persona 4 Golden, too.
I wasn't sure what to expect from Terraria when I first got it a few years back, but I loved the look of it, and the hype got to me, and I caved and bought it. One of the best purchases I've made all generation (with my Vita, and the new gaming PC I built being the top two purchases of the gen).
I'm going to have to give my Vita to my boss when I go into work, because it will be impossible for me to get any work done with Terraria on it. Hurry up and announce that Vita version, 505! You've already teased it!
I think, with the PS3 version, I'm actually going to take the time to really build some cool homes and stuff. I didn't really invest in that on the PC, and pretty much just built structures around utility.
My wife was big on actually making good looking buildings and structures, and finding all of the cool items and weapons. When I'd come home from work, she'd have a new set of stuff to give me, so I could help her adventure better. I think she was more addicted to the game than I was. Lol.

On that particular world, I hadn't enabled hard mode (there are enemies that blow up your buildings), so that's a big chunk. I have other worlds where I've triggered the switch and it's pretty tough. The three post-HM bosses are pretty nasty too until you're geared up with everything again.
There's a lot to do, but yeah, at some point it's just building or starting over from scratch. But before you hit that point there are days upon days worth of stuff to do.
Seconded. It seems like fun and then you wake up 100 hours later and you've lost your job.
Don't do it kids.
I'm fairly sure I played it exclusively with a controller. Maybe it was through Joy2Key though.

Do you have a PC newer than a 2004 model? You can play it right now and cheaper on PC.

Hostility on a forum? This is the first time I've seen it.
Either way I have it on PC and am anticipating it on PS3 so keep your anger to yourself.

You can't play four player split-screen on PC, though.

Post impressions and file size once you get it please 
Don't worry, I've already planned my death for the next few months, so I should be good. When the Vita version comes out, I also told my supervisor to confiscate my Vita when I'm at work, because, well, I work on Smart Phones, so it would be way, way too easy to wile away the hours playing Terraria on the down low instead of working...

Handles sluggishly and I expected a little better resolution but I can't really blame the HW as much as the devs on that. I don't know if pad controls are best for this game but I came away disappointed after playing it.
I don't feel like I can precisely build or do anything yet.

What, does the second stick emulate a mouse cursor?
LiquidMetal14

Not so good so far and it's not due to the controller.
I just don't know if it's made for pad as much or they need to fine tune the precision.
I had to hold the controller awkwardly just to build upward and make walls to shield myself from enemies.
You use both but the right analog is for free movement of the cursor.

I am not sure if your referring to this but if you Right click the right analog it enables a precision cross hair
LiquidMetal14

Sounds like a cursor to me. If you want to call it cross hair then that's fine but it emulates the precision of a mouse without the precision though lol
No confusing but difficult due to embracing the controls which I think could be better.
Yeah... watching the stream this just doesn't look intuitive with a controller. I wonder how Starbound will handle it.
holy shit man.

Terraria will consume you. Think before you buy.
You sound kind of angry. Is everything okay?

Someone else needs to elaborate and see if things can feel better but the controls feel off. The UI is not bad and about as good as you can ask for a console version but the actual functionality and precision is lacking.
