I'm more saying that there's not any legitimate complaints to be had. Of course people can still kick up a fuss about anything, but that's just the internet.

buy, ebay, buy, repeat. If you wait until each set is out of print you might even make a profit.
I dunno, in my experience, for an asset as low-stakes as this kind of trailer, this seems like the exact kind of thing a Community Manager would be able to raise his hand and say "hey, I've got a great idea that will play well with our core audience!"
Also, this is a side note: I"m not asking out of maliciousness or any negative intent, I'm purely asking because I don't know; who is Steve Kim, and how come I see him pop up on the twitter feed of like everyone at Giant Bomb and Gamespot?

I would be mad too if I was called a "Journo"
What the hell.
This is really stupid.
Undertale though. That's not stupid. Great game, despite many mentions of anime.

So this Lego game.... It's basically the exact same thing as every other Lego game, except that instead of having a wide variety of characters and items that you can unlock in-game, it has a wide variety of characters and items that you can unlock by going to the fucking store and buying them.
And also it makes you stop playing it to assemble shit.
Am I misreading this? What an awful product.

meanwhile 2K is sleeping well at night knowing that no matter how bad the game is or how many people talk shit about it, their dumb wrestling games will still sell and they have nothing to worry about

Steve Kim is Fobwashed on the site, a guy who's made a lot of GB fan art you've probably seen (and all of the PAX exclusive GB t-shirt designs), and is the best at making Giant Bomb related gifs. He was also in the recent Destiny raid video on the site and sometimes posts in this thread.

well you're supposed to assemble everything before you start playing.
one of my favorite moments in that game is anime related
one of the characters asks you if anime is real and you have to choose yes or no

Very end of Lego Dimensions quick look"Game seems pretty cool"
Think that's the first time Jeff has said that about a Lego game.

A NeoGaf local system faction is going to be added to Elite Dangerous and I am way to excited for it. I'm going to expand our influence as far as I can with my Python, FerDeLance and Diamondback Explorer.

I only have a Type 6 Hauler at the moment, I should get back to Elite: Dangerous. So many games.
To be fair, a LEGO game of this kind that didn't have you building things would be a pretty big swing and a miss. Generally the person investing the money is someone who likes playing with LEGO.

hmm i need a link.
I liked it way more than I expected to given it was Ridley Scott and that can be dicey sometimes.
Ah, fair enough. I don't actually spend much time around the community of the site (I really don't like their forum structure), so I don't really know the people there.
Thanks for the info!

No. Obviously.
I do like how the game refers to anime as "kid's cartoons" though.
I guess, but that's by far the smaller of the game's issues.
I have to admit that I considered it. But I don't want to antagonize Jeff any more.

i could link to a million gifs to demonstrate how it's definitely not "kids cartoons"
there's new anime where girls transform into magic weapons by having an orgasm and boy do they detail that happening
wait wasn't that something SWERY wanted to do?

I've played a few hours of Lego Dimensions and the production values are far beyond any of the other games. Are actually some huge setpieces in the game which are fun to play through and all of the hub worlds for the various packs actually have a lot to do in them. Certainly plenty to be frustrated about in terms of how much the packs cost and the relative dearth of unlockables compared to the other lego titles but it feels like a much better game overall.

Oh god you're right.
Out of ten, how satisfied would I be if I only bought and played through the starter pack, and didn't buy any extra shit?

I liked that it was a generally positive movie about space (and the human spirit), instead of going all grimdark and existential. Which is also ok! But it's a nice change!

The main story has all of the various properties in them, ie you'll still see Scooby Doo and Shaggy even without their pack, so you'd probably have a good time although you'd be limited in terms of what hub worlds you could visit.
Can't really rate it given I've only played the game for a few hours but the writing is really fun and the production values are out of the roof so if you want to see Gandalf fly through Springfield you'd probably at least grin a few times. Think the main campaign is supposed to be around 12 hours long, so for 100 dollars it might be a bit much depending on your tastes. If you have GCU that's 20 dollars off at least.

Shamefully, I haven't sat down and read a book in like a year, I was considering reading the Martian before watching it. Good idea?
I really enjoyed the book as well as the movie. Can't really go wrong either way.
Thanks!
Oh wow they're playing Life is Strange?
Have any of them played it in the past? They gonna do the rest?

Here's the regular archive recording for normal people.
It sounds like this is going to be a voted on segment, so maybe they'll do more than the first chapter? That's what I thought they were saying at the end of the stream.

Yes! The book is amazing and the movie is great. I've actually seen it twice in theater now.
They seem to indicate they would but there will be a vote again I think.

Alright, it's downloading on my Kindle as I type. Consuming is so easy!
I think they're finishing episode 1 no matter what and having a vote for what else they'll play next time.

I hope everyone has bought the Age of Decadence on steam. Get that before Lego Dimensions.
