Ayliffe Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Something interesting from dimensions popped up (it may be slightly spoilery, so I've shoved it in spoilers) You know Jonathan Coulton, the guy who wrote "Still Alive"? Well, he wrote another GLaDOs song for dimensions, and it's pretty neat-o: In other news, since I managed to get a PS3 yesterday for just £20 I'll be getting Dimensions at launch. Yay? le717 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayliffe Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 If you live in the US, then lego dimensions is available... If you're anywhere EXCEPT the US, then it's out on tuesday for you. Boo hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fush Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) I went ahead and bought it. To be honest even now I'm not 100% sold on it (well I guess I kind of am since I did buy it...) but I figured that the price will probably get higher the longer I wait. So far it's decent, typical TT LEGO game though with a stronger emphasis on puzzles which involve moving the minifigures around on the portal. Not exactly difficult, but fun enough for what it is. I'm going to try to finish the game before I judge it. One thing that did surprise me was that, despite this game using DC characters with no Marvel ones, the avengers Helicarrier actually made an appearance in the BTTF level. That really threw me off.

Jimbob Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I figured that the price will probably get higher the longer I wait. I have never heard of a game doing this. The higher price tags are for the day-one gamers, within weeks/months game prices will drop rapidly. Unless someone can prove me wrong? That's why I'm waiting for the GOTY edition of Arkham Knight to be released (probably some time early next year), as it'll probably be in the £30 region before long while it was originally £80 or £90 with the season pass.

Fush Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's mostly an assumption on my part, to be honest. While it is normally the case for games to get cheaper over time, this isn't just a game- it's also a LEGO set, and as LEGO sets tend to skyrocket in price on the secondhand market (at least, that's been the case for all the sets I've tried to find after their initial production run) I wasn't going to take the risk.

Quisoves Potoo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I just wasted £20; I bought the LEGO Dimensions Portal pack... ...I've got the minifig, I'm okay with that... BUT THE REST OF THE BLOODY INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE GAME SO I HAVE A BUNCH OF USELESS BRICKS SITTING AROUND WHILST I AM FORCED TO COUGH UP £90 FOR THE GAME AND GOD KNOWS HOW F***ING MUCH TO BUY A CONSLE. WHY TT GAMES?! Do not despair! Ayliffe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashDSB Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Now don't get me wrong when I say this, as I haven't seen a whole lot of gameplay on LEGO Dimensions. Personally, I am going to wait before I pick it up. I understand the parts for the portal stuff and pad are probably costly, and thus the price is increased. I just can't see forking out $99 just for a base game. I'll probably collect the minifigures just for collecting. And eventually I hope to pick up the game. It just feels like another Skylanders or something similar to Amiibo's. But I do want to say I like the base idea of the game, just a bit iffy on it though.

Apparently there's a thing where you can "hire" a character for 30 seconds for 5000 studs, which sounds... interesting I guess? Anyways, I'll test it tonight and post my thoughts here later.

dead_name Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 50,000 studs but yeah. [opinion piece] I think it's actually a pretty clever model. It saves you the frustration of "ugh I have to spend IRL money to unlock X" but also gives you an opportunity to try out a new character, which might lead to "omgz [x character] is damn cool, I'mma buy the set". win-win imo.

Ayliffe Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Wave two is out today in the US, whilst the rest of the world has to wait until friday for the new stuffs. Meanwhile, here's some gameplay from the Doctor Who level pack to tide you over: (WARNING: Videos will probably contain spoilers, so beware!)

I'm glad I saw this post before I bought any more expansion packs. Now a large portion of the characters I was going to buy will not be necessary and I can focus on only getting the ones I actually want. That said... 30 seconds? That's ridiculous. I know that they want people to actually buy the figures but, that's hardly enough time to even do anything with them. What happens if the time runs out before you're done with what you hired them for? Just have to try again later? It would make more sense to get them for the duration of a single level, but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they get sets? Eh... I can see the Jetsons in minifig form (and personally, that is not something I'd object to. The Jetsons is <3), but I also kinda wish it stays a reference and not get sets. Either way, I think the Flintstones and Jetsons references are awesome. They are both classic cartoons kids should be introduced to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayliffe Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Welp, so this happened over on the LD reddit: Gonna be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. Is it a mod? Is it a leak? Is it a glitch? No idea, but if it's a leak someone's probably losing their job at TT tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayliffe Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I'd take this with a massive grain of salt (hell, maybe even a truckload), but both the Lego Dimensions and Angry Birds Movie wikipedia pages both say that there's gonna be angry birds packs arriving in LD. There's no source or anything though, so take that as you will I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
