LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer released

[sir dooble]

Trailer is probably filled with the only good jokes they have. Knowing TT the rest of the cutscenes will be filled with cringe

I dunno, I laughed quite a bit during Lego Jurassic World.
It is a childish level of humour though.

Only part of the trailer I found moderately funny was the lightswitch scene

To be fair though the game isn't aimed at me

[Blockchip]

Personally, i don't like lego.

mcjob getting mad his mature lego game has yet to be picked up

More like McJob getting mad that people will call out franchises like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty for making the same game yearly, but nobody will say anything about Tt even though they make LITERALLY the same game with a different skin at least twice a year.

The only people who I respect in that company are the artists and the programmers (who I know one of which), since they're basically making the best of a really stuffty situation. The designers need to take a big loving step back and start producing some original goddam ideas, as I recall that one of LEGO's core values is "creativity", and I don't see a lot of that in following an instruction manual to build every single one of your games.

[sir dooble]

And what if you like the games, even if they are so similar?
I mean, I like Assassin's Creed too, even though I can tell that there isn't an overly significant difference in gameplay between the first game and the latest.

A loving horrible idea. I was informed last night and I'm just as mad now as I was then.

I know what you mean. The original Lego Star Wars games were pretty crappy in hindsight.

[McJob]

And what if you like the games, even if they are so similar?

Then that's your personal taste and that's fine, but it doesn't change my opinion of the games at all.

Right now, I'm playing through every single LEGO Tt Game on Steam to determine how the franchise is going. If you go to this link and filter by "LEGO", you'll see my progress (slow, but getting there). I'm having great difficulty finding the differences between the games. Yeah, there's some minor polish and tweaks and newer titles, and some of the activities change, but ultimately the game mechanics are:

->Primary Attack (out of 5 categories, melee, sword-melee, ranged weapon, magic, zapper)
->Context Sensitive (anything from using the force, opening a panel, building etc)
->Ride Vehicles

That's the entire list, and it's become excruciating over just how many repetitive actions are required to beat the level. Each level is just a Tt designer following a checklist, rather than doing any kind of actual design ("Okay, I need to add a force puzzle here, and then I need a co-op force puzzle somewhere else, and a blaster puzzle here..."). Hell, I'd rather play a Mario title, would they be released for Steam. It gets even worse when you add in Tt's stuffty enemy system and their even stuffter "run towards the camera" segments.

What makes a game fun is challenge, something the new LEGO games lack completely. The old LEGO games were vastly different, and even though there was some hand-holding (Stunt Racers completed the "orange test"), if you play a game like Racers or Rock Raiders, you actually need to get better and work at winning, whereas a Tt game just expects that you just keep playing the same tedious puzzles over and over again. Time devotion != challenge.

I mean, I like Assassin's Creed too, even though I can tell that there isn't an overly significant difference in gameplay between the first game and the latest.

I'm not saying AC is any better than the LEGO adaptational games. All I'm saying is that people shine different lights on them when they are just as guilty of each other of repeating the same gameplay mistakes over and over and over and over and over and over.

I agree.
I don't think there's anything wrong with making similar games again and again, but it really annoys me that people keep complaining that other series do it but those same people seem to make an exception for lego.

This so much, Tt Lego Games are a massive copy paste.

[Planr]

Traveller's Tale games are notorious for looking shiny and having lots of hype behind them, but they end up being really stuffty to play. Take the Minecraft story mode game that recently came out as an example.
