I think its gonna suck more than paris hilton becuase
1. The Graphics suck
2. People don't like blockland so much they would pay for it
What do you think?
Seriously, if you think the graphics are worse then the first game, go out and get a glasses perscription.
Most of the shapes are good, except the tree. I think that lighting is applied to the cone strangely. If you really want to know though, all the bricks were made by hand, in notepad, because of the new brick system. The new system allows all kinds of effects to be applied to bricks, as well as building inside of holes in bricks, and lighting.
You call 3 people that are Mod Staff quite a few?
Yeah, the three people who actually played it, and saw it for themselves, compared to the one person who hasn't played it, and is passing early judgement on beta screenshots.
Also, I like the new minifigs, and the bricks, and I think I would go as far as to not download a mod, if they didn't supply a version with normal textures and shapes. If you play with them, you get used to them, and learn to love them. Except Mocheeze, haha. The new brick studs are actually always aligned, normally, except in a few rare cases, unlike the original blockland, where you would get shadows pointing in different directions all the time.
Its just people having played blockland with a cylinder base game too long. If it was boxes from the start, I bet people would be thinking differently.
Also, Jadenx has a valid point there. I'm sure there will be a LEGO mod, but I don't want RTB to take it upon themselves to do it, I'd rather just keep the box shaped textures, while still getting all the features of RTB...
