Yeah, get a few dips in fps every now and then. But you can ride a dragon and breathe fire at clouds!
I've not even touched the building side, but I don't think vehicle building is in yet. Though there are plenty of vehicles to find just screwing around the world.More importantly, how's the building? The landscaping stuff in the trailer seemed kind of meh. But if there's a decent block-by-block construction tool for making spaceships, I'm in.
But fuck those, you can ride a goat.
For some reason, I hate the asthetics, compared to Minecraft. Minecraft looked blocky and clean, this one looks dirty and hard to read. I suppose you get used to it after a while.
Nope, no vehicle building yet.I've not even touched the building side, but I don't think vehicle building is in yet.

Apparently you can import stuff from Lego Digital designer, so who knows?Damnit, no dongmobiles.
Brb testing.
Well, you can build everything with Lego.Damnit, no dongmobiles.
Including swastikas and dicks.
Oh wow, that sounds like a really good idea.Apparently you can import stuff from Lego Digital designer, so who knows?Damnit, no dongmobiles.

That's brilliant. Now if only they add LEGO Technic parts, minecraft is doomed.

Can you turn off the awful post processing?
Initial loading times are atrocious, might be better after booting a second time.
My first island housed giant leafless trees with curled branches, hosting a population of wolfmen, skeletons and vampires. I killed one of the vampires and gained its power to turn into a bat. I flew east (I think) and found an island where I rode a motorcycle while running into groups of skeletons ganging up on lone zombies. I also ran into a treehouse with a treasure chest holding a neat sword. Flying east once again I ended up on a frozen island where a gang of roving huskies was mauling polar bears. On the south of this island there was some volcanic activity and beat a warlock to death to steal his ability to cast fireballs.
10/10 GOTY.

Not hate so much as disappointment at wasted potential. Minecraft or a game like it can be so much more, a 3D sandbox game with complex world interaction, in-depth crafting, terraforming and building in the context of a meaningful world. For example, imagine a game similar to Minecraft that has different factions on the map (similar to an RTS game), with somewhat decent AI that build up their bases like the player and then either side with or attack the player. The AI is good enough to utilize weapons and technology to destroy player defenses or tunnel under. The world is also much more realistic than in MC, you have to eat and drink, resources are difficult to acquire and require complex industrial mechanisms and processes. Imagine building up a complex interconnected base with resource gathering mechanisms feeding production facilities which produce ever more sophisticated technology and weaponry for defense and offense, while at the same time dealing with enemies growing more powerful as well. Imagine the carnage as your base is being swiss cheesed by enemy artillery while you activate deeper level defenses and prepare to counter attack. Now this would be a great game.
Instead, MC went into some kind of potpourri kiddie direction with a 3rd grade level mix of magical monsters and simplistic mechanics while providing no "gaminess" at all due to lack of challenge and purpose. I don't expect this Lego game to address these issues either. Hopefully someone down the line will capitalize on this tremendous potential.
If 2.5 billion dollars is a "small" fortune to you, we should become best friends.

This. Probably some intern suggested it jokingly and then all the "creative designers" shat their pants and facepalmed for days...

Lego vs Microsoft. Whoever wins, we lose.

Imagine the butthurt at Microsoft though if indeed all the hipsters switch to the "cute" lego world builder.

I wish they would make a Game Maker/RPG Maker type program using their 3D engine instead...
LEGO Morrowind clone would be pretty sweet!
Finally someone that thinks like me.
The pricing model is not yet clear. Publisher Warner Bros has said that the current £11.99 cost is a reduced price. It’s possible that the final release, due sometime in 2016, will provide a basic array of pre-loaded playsets, but that others will be available as downloadable content. Lego, of course, has access to an array of licensed content from Star Wars to the Hobbit, Batman and Marvel heroes.
They might do it, given Warner Bros' horribly track record with DLC.
On the other hand, it might end with the option to have Batman do the trench run or Darth Vader VS Thanos.
