The old ones had soul so I thought, what the hell. I'm just bewildered by the changes to the classic formula. I've been playing for hours and as far as I can tell the entire game is just walking around empty hub worlds or corridors from point A to point B while listening to the characters talk. They go through the entire stories of the movies. Who the fuck wants that? Why would I play a LEGO game for the story? What about level design? There aren't even actual levels. I'm so fucking confused
>I've been playing for hours and as far as I can tell the entire game is just walking around empty hub worlds or corridors from point A to point B while listening to the characters talk.
That’s really weird. I only played the first two games when I was a kid, but I remember a lot of the appeal coming from watching minifigures pantomime the stories of these movies without any actual dialogue.
My little sister said the same and I trust her word on it. Replayed the old lego star wars games instead with her. Is the lego lord of the rings game good?

That's all I got. Overall I'm just not having fun. Compared to Complete Saga, it's literally a case of soul vs. soulless.
>they somehow fucked up this so badly despite having a winning formula that they didn't need to change at all besides minor tweaks
why does this always happen?
gnomish executives realize they can bloat the budget massively by adding voice acting
Pay some rando 2 cents and write it down as 2 million, game ends up with shitty unnecesary voice acting and youre 2 million richer
Its literally the same cancer that killed so many good games
Studio fires everyone who helped make a game great, hires diversity-hires and pajeets, and new lead devs never played a game of the series before in their life, completely missing why the game was good
The old lego games had so much fucking soul, the cinematics and the humour were legit the best part, now they make the game unbearable
I played it for about an hour before I realized it was shit. I then 100% completed The Complete Saga and it was great. They clearly took on too much trying to adapt 9 films along with an open world. The game is simultaneously undercooked but also stuffed with a bunch of extraneous bullshit.
They've been doing this since 2012. It's always been bad but never as egregious as this. There's a mumble mode you can unlock (somehow, fuck if I'll ever find out) but it's not the same.
they're literally for babies I don't know what you were expecting
what games should i play then Gankersister
Darklands

yes, it kicks ass
Lego Hobbit not so much
This was the one game I had been looking forward to for years and I'm still not over the dissapointment from its releaae.
I feel like it's an objectively pretty solid game, the bigger problem is that I'm 26 now and not 11 and don't care for shit made solely for underages
for fucks sake. they fucked it up? how?

>dialog
a lego game with dialogue?
huh?
i can't type doyalog apparently

>grown man pays for a literal baby video game
What did you expect?
As soon as they added voice acting into the games they ruined them
As you should, Lego games are some of the easiest pc games to pirate.
Right before release it had one of the most obvious shill campaigns
>paying for vidya
No offense, but you are a retard.
Brown hands typed this post.
I'm quite pale actually.
I'm sure you are, Moshe.
>garden gnomes want you to NOT give them money
What kind of logic is this?
> no goy don't consume product x
> you must consume kosher(tm) product y
many such cases, the only question that remains is who op is shilling for
>there is a more kosher product than disney owned star wars
Does the character creation mod even work anymore
