That honestly looks amazing but... I can see this failing hard if not done right.

no 'minecraft killer' has ever been done right. this will be no different

(briefly watched someone streaming it on twitch last night; wasn't that impressive tbh)

You're right... I'm watching the 1st 5 minutes of it and it reminds me a bit like most lego (insert movie here) games that have been coming out. I don't find them that much fun tbh...

Then the whole interacting with legos is done via a menu that looks a bit sim city ish which blows instead of directly with the character. the 3rd person view is also a bit meh.

Sooooo much potential here just going to waste.

I think there maybe lawsuits forthcoming.

Coming from which way? Pretty sure Lego has been doing the block thing much longer...

You should know, if you've been paying attention, that I am a huge Lego fan xer0s, so in answer, coming from Minecraft.

I have been playing MC for a while now so see both sides.
It is just the idea of an immense limitless block world as portrayed in the Lego video that makes me think Minecraft.

Methinks Lego is hands on building block pieces Minecraft is the computer world

You can't sue someone for making a game with similar gameplay mechanic. Otherwise there would be no such thing as the "FPS genre"

imo nothing can take out minecraft

kids fall down the minecraft hole and they never come out!

that is some popular shit for a reason, the reason is that its good.

my kids use this a fair amount

My 5 year old who hasn't even started school can now read at a 4th grade level thanks to Minecraft. She knows all the commands, makes her owns servers, bans morons etc... Best game ever?...

(bump) but I liked how it was someone's job to detect penises.

Anyway, as it turns out, one of the biggest costs of Lego's last online creative game, Universe, was moderation to remove all the dicks. There was an attempt to create "dong detection software" initially, explains former senior graphics coder on the MMO, Megan Fox. That was a no go because people get really creative when it comes to dick-craft. "Players would hide the dongs where the filtering couldn't see, or make them only visible from one angle / make multi-part penis sculptures", say Megan. As a result moderation was "the single biggest cost center for LEGO Universe's operational costs. Or close to".

Megan Fox

[Eraser]

Megan Fox on penis detection duty. Now there's a thought...

[PhoeniX]

Rigorous beta testing would be required, if you know what I mean.

Father of the fucking year lets his five year old play computer games to the point where she actually learned to read from them

Do some parenting, you fucking failure.

[losCHUNK]

lol

Atleast if Gwamps did it the playable character would have a resemblance to the father
