Hearing you say E3 was a big convention "back in the day" made me sad. It feels like just yesterday when we saw the trailer for Smash Ultimate at E3. I'm sad it's gone
E3 isn’t gone, it just reverting to what it was meant to be, a conference for share holders. If you have shares in any large electronic company or associated with any of them you should receive an invite to the conference. It is not how it was before however, it’s literally just a board meeting now.
What a fun video; too bad about dimensions. I remember the game would crash at different points and I totally forgot about the downloading errors. The fact that is was on the WII U didn’t not help either. Those minifigs though were incredible from stay puff, gremlins, chell, and E.T.
Strongly agreed 👍 💯 Funko fusion is the spiritual success ti lego dimensions and if funko fusion is popular I hope lego dimensions will come back with year 1-2 and wave 1-9 and even no more toy pad and toy tag and the toy pad and toy tag is just an extra controller and not just lego dimensions the very first video game with batman Gandalf wildstyle but lego dimensions 2 and I remember going on Microsoft store and there is lego dimensions digital version and I strongly agreed with you I hope lego dimensions will come back. Story,level,team,and fun pack too.
I played the Wii U version from 2015 to late 2017, when I got both the Adventure Time level pack and Lego Batman Movie story pack, it could not be completed, so much so that my dad got the PS4 version shortly after.
I’m a huge sucker for crossovers and mashups. This was the perfect one. It came and left before its time! The interactions were too cute. Like Wicked Witch being fond of the No-Ghost Logo on the Ecto-1. It was hard to keep interest after you beat the main game, and still having packs coming out, but no more advancement in the story itself. The best trailer was the “Doctor Doctor” trailer! If anyone’s not seen that one. Look it up!
I was too young and didnt have enough money to even get Lego Dimensions when it came out, so my parents only got three characters and not even the base game for me to play. I watched the content of the game religiously on RUclips the entire time, and I'm still a fan, although my collection is small and missing a million pieces. I hope they'll bring it back someday, with or without the toys-to-life part, and I'll keep hoping in vain til I die.
I just wish Lego Dimensions would have a season 3 and have those franchises that were going to be in it. But I found some things that show signs that it may come back as a reboot version. Here are three clues it gave me to show it might come back: Trademark renewal, Continued Lego sets and Fan Demand. These signs show that it might come back. In 2022, the trademark of Lego Dimensions had been renewed; This could be a sign that they may develop a reboot version of the original version of the game. The Lego Group has continued to release new sets on popular franchises that were featured in the game. This shows there is still interest in these franchises and that a Lego Dimensions reboot would be successful. There is still a strong demand from Lego Dimensions fans. This may show that there's a market for a new Lego Dimensions game. Lego Dimensions is my most favorite Lego Video game of all time. I hope the reboot version will have the first 30 themes from the original game like The Lego Movie, DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings and Scooby-Doo. I even hope it'll have new themes like MonsterVerse (with Godzilla and Kong), Despicable Me, Shrek, The Lego Ninjago Movie, Avatar (the blue creatures), Looney Tunes and Minecraft.
The Biggest problem with this game was that it took 2 hours to assemble the portal Then all the characters packs aswell and Lego fans bought them just for the minifugres so a lot of packs were out of stock like sonic adventure time
As a kid on my ps3 when I got Sonic and Ethan Hunt I was so confused why they didn’t work because I never knew that dlc existed so I always thought it was broken
There were two MAJOR issues with it, beyond the absolutely absurd costs of even playing the game: 1 - They released the game for potatoes that shouldn't have gotten this sort of game, while leaving out PC. That was a MAJOR mistake. The game should have come out for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only. 2 - They made exclusives. Green Arrow was an E3 exclusive minifigure. Supergirl was a PlayStation 4 exclusive mifinigure. That meant many people were already excluded from getting them if they didn't fly to the USA or played elsewhere other than the PS4. To add insult to injury, Supergirl was the ONLY character in the game that could access a certain area in the game which you had to access to 100% the game and get the respective Achievement/Trophy. So basically you either played on the PlayStation 4, or you'd always have an incomplete game. Because they never actually made either of them available to everyone later. I loved the game and got ALL the stuff that was made available for them (including Green Arrow and SuperGirl). But I was already an adult with disposable income. A kid would NEVER be able to get everything, unless their parents were extremely generous with their gifts. Like many things in LEGO, it was a good idea terribly executed.
I actually started getting the packs before I even had a system that supported the game. I am a truck driver and only got home every three weeks, so every time I was home I would pick up a pack. I did eventually get a Wii U and the base game. It was a lot of fun and even made me a fan of Portal. I picked up that pack on a whim but quickly realized I didn't get how the portal gun was supposed to work. So I got both games on Steam for a few bucks and loved them. I think I played those games more than the Dimensions Portal Pack. I was so happy when they put out the LEGO City Undercover fun pack as well. I played Undercover a lot and was a huge fan of Chase McCain. Now I could include him on the cross-dimenstional adventures. I really liked pairing him with KITT because in the Undercover game there was a car called Valkyrie that looked just like KITT if you called it up in black. But also because of that game I came up with my own ideas. A truck driver who accidentally got pulled into a portal and was rescued and brought back home by Professor Stan Leroy and his assistant, Sasha Fury. So now this trio is having their own adventures across the Lego multiverse but still based in a secret location in LEGO City.
My theory as to why lego dimensions ended after year two was because of how year two launched. The fact that there was no new content for people to play who didn’t get any new packs, plus choosing to have ghostbusters 2016 be the main story pack over something more popular at the time was not a good choice. The reason I bring up some new free playable content is to help introduce the new franchises to people who were not familiar with them before with the intent of enticing the players to get packs from these new franchises
Definitely agree, they did add a few battle arenas I think? But that was barely any content. Some new story levels continuing with Batman Gandalf and Wyldstyle would've been great!
I remember them hyping this up back in 2015, I was 7 years old and thought the idea of toys and games being bale to interact with one another was so cool.
I managed to pick up the PS4 version of this game, complete in box for 37€. I never had the chance to try this game, until a month ago i think. Most of the time i was looking for this game, it was just the game, without portal or characters. I always had Skylanders games, i used to play them on Wii. I still have most of the figures, from back then. I am also a toys to life collector, i have some amiibo and a few Disney infinity figures, too. If you wanna play this game without troubles, pick the PS4 version, skip older console versions. Game runs really great, didn't have any problem with it. I think this is the Lego game with the biggest areas, ever made.
Funko fusion is the spiritual success ti lego dimensions and if funko fusion is popular I hope lego dimensions will come back with year 1-2 and wave 1-9 and even no more toy pad and toy tag and the toy pad and toy tag is just an extra controller and not just lego dimensions the very first video game with batman Gandalf wildstyle but lego dimensions 2 and I remember going on Microsoft store and there is lego dimensions digital version and I strongly agreed with you I hope lego dimensions will come back.

I remember loving watching videos of this game and have such nostalgia for it despite never playing it. It was my introduction to things I now love, like Doctor who, Sonic and red dwarf.
I remember the strategy was going to a place here in the US called the 99 cent store, I’m being legitimate about this, although the store is now closed down, for some odd reason they received about ten different types of fun packs, which made it such an easy way to get new characters
I love Dimensions, and the cancellation is super sad. Im still an active member of the community and theres tons still playing it, using emulators and custom nfc chips. Id also like to mention the Wii U never ran poorly during early year 2. Just2Good had the Toy Pad on top of the Wii U, which you are specifically not supposed to put two active magnets on top of each other, hence why the game was glitched and barely running on the tv, yet working fine on the Gamepad. This was user error.
Oh wow I didn't even notice that! How on earth did they not realise that when its literally the first thing it says when you boot up the game ahahha. Thanks for letting me know!
@@LegoManCam I've had my Wii U and it's Dimensions copy for a while, all the stuff linked to the DLC just stopped working though :/ I tried emulating both the USA and PAL versions on the PS3, but that would work entirely.
man i actually also played lego dimensions on the xbox 360, and i loved this game, it was mad expensive for my younger self but the game was so entertaining with so many different franchises etc, it was always a blast but kind of sad when you couldn't get to spaces in the game because of a pay wall
Such fun memories of this game. I do remember the issues though - the day when I was finally able to venture into ETs crashed ship was a momentous one!
100 for the starter pack? I remember retailed for 70 euros, just like skylanders and Disney infinity But yeh, prices were very high, especially compared to the other Also fun fact, in Italy and Spain, the game came out a year later (when y2 came out), and for that reason plus the fact of the discontinuation of the game, every time that a new wave came out, all sets were discounted by half price (probably not when they released the game, but after that always 50% less) Thanks to that, the only things bought at retail proce were the starter pack and Portal level pack All the rest was bought always at half the price
Wow that's awesome to be able to get everything at half price! I think I probably bought everything at a discount too, but nothing crazy until the game was properly on clearance!
Best lego game in my opinion god this game was my childhood and I will always love it so sad that it ended but I’ll never forget the memories I had and will continue to have with it 😊
Hey bro loved ur video just one thing, what's the soundtrack you used in your video under your sounds? It sounds very familiar and it's been stuck in my head a while now, is it for any Lego games?
One of my fondest memories happened while I was playing this. My dad and I were exploring Atlantis (with superman of course, since he had unlimited breath underwater) and we were having a ton of fun, then we started messing around and he accidentally knocked one of my teeth out with his controller. We spent 15 minutes looking for it and we laugh about it even now.
my lego dimensions story is a bit of an interesting one, so, it was mid to late 2016, i had lego dimensions for my wii u (didn’t have any other console at the time), wave 3 was about to release, and i was getting the content ready on my wii u, when i get the message saying my wii u had run out of memory, so i tried clearing up some storage, yet it didn’t work, so then i completely uninstalled my games, yet it kept giving me the error, like my wii u’s storage was still being used despite nothing being on it, so my lego dimensions time had ended there, but i wasn’t ready to give up yet, so many years later in 2024, i got an xbox series x, got a copy of lego’s dimensions for xbox one, and got all the packs i was missing, and now im back in my lego dimensions prime again.
I remember finding a whole bunch of starter packs in 2019 at a discounted place for like $40 I think and I remember the fun packs were not even that discounted at Walmart when the game was cancelled in Canada sadly
I’d love to see a remake/reimagine of this game from the ground up ala RE 1-4 and FFVII Remake. And here is a long list of IPs I wanna see in the remake. - Every IP from the first game except for Ghostbusters 2016, Chima, LEGO City Undercover and The LEGO Batman Movie - Marvel - Star Wars - Indiana Jones - LEGO Dreamzzz - Despicable Me (cancelled from Y3) - Rick And Morty - Futurama - The Matrix - Power Rangers - Transformers - Ben 10 - Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart - Summer Camp Island - Bill & Ted - Men in Black - The Beatles: Yellow Submarine - Batman (1966) - Star Trek - Teen Titans (2003) - DC Super Hero Girls - Sonic The Hedgehog (Movie Universe) - Stranger Things - James Cameron’s Avatar (Cancelled from Y3) - Jumanji - Jurassic Park - LEGO City Adventures - Heathcliff - Overwatch - Atari - The Flintstones - The Jetsons - Magnum P.I. - Jim Henson’s Labyrinth (Cancelled from Y3) - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Cancelled from Y3) - Beastars - Sanford & Son - Speed Racer - Samurai Pizza Cats - The Boys - Invincible - Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) - Frosty The Snowman (1969) - Sing - Minecraft - James Bond 007 - Persona 5 - Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory - Looney Tunes (Cancelled from Y3) - Freakazoid! - Todd McFarlane’s Spawn - The Fast And The Furious - Top Gun - Dragon Ball - My Hero Academia - National Lampoon’s Vacation - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - The Twilight Zone - Tekken - Space Ghost Coast to Coast - Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law - Fortnite - Thundercats - 24 - Shrek (Cancelled from Y3)
Won't happen. Lego destroyed any trust, when they said they would produce 3 years of content and ended the whole thing after 2. I doubt many who bought the first wave, when it came out would do it again and the whole product was aimed at adults to begin with. Those will remember.
Luckily I got the required toy packs needed to complete the game when the popularity was on a downturn , buying on the second-hand market , avoiding the high store prices. Now the scarcity of these pads will kick in and send the price up. A lot of the figures were not needed to 100% the game.
They should remake this on the Switch or Switch 2, and add what was planned for year 2 and 3 in it. And they should make it to where you’d have to do mini missions in each world to unlock the characters corresponding to it.
Let's not forget about another toys to life thing that came out to, TELEPODS, it was only used in Angry Birds games such as Star Wars, Go, Transformers and Stella.
Yes please! I would to see a long or short video of the cancelled content of Year 2 & 3. Please make it happen and I will be there on day one! You’re video is awesome and I love Lego Dimensions and it’s my favourite Lego game ever and one of my favourite games of all time.
I really wanted to play LEGO Dimensions, it looked so fun and awesome, but at the time it came out I was living at my grandparents' house (who did not like me playing video games, and would certainly not agree with me having it) and after we moved out like a year later, we were basically poor for a few years, plus we didn't really have any consoles since we moved to our grandparents' house. Edit: 17:29 yeah, I was definitely destined to not have this game, no matter how much I want it
ATP WE JUST NEED A REMAKE OF LEGO DIMENSIONS, OR A SECOND GAME OF LEGO DIMENSIONS FR 🙄, BUT WITHOUT THE TOYS SET OR WHATEVER CAUSE LEGO DIMENSIONS WAS, AND IS A LEGENDARY LEGO GAME ONG 💯💯.
I remember 10 year old self. I wanted to get an Xbox because I saw cool games that I was interested in and my mother got me the Xbox 360 but when I got Lego dimensions I was enjoying it but there was lots of loading time, and I sat through playing a lot of the levels until the cut scene where Lord business is in the Simpsons level and it just froze and I was confused and trying everything to to fix it and nothing worked unless I exited it and start all over and I lost my shit never played it until months later and the same thing happened so I never played it again
I think there are 3 reasons: - crazy pricing. Lego does not understand, that digital content is pretty much worthless these days. You get Witcher 3, where more effort went into many sidequest than in the whole Lego dimensions product, for 5€ in sale on a regular basis. The only way to make insane amounts of money with zero effort are skins in online Multiplayer games, which Lego dimensions is not. People were pretty much only paying for the figure. The best ones would be cmf quality, so 3€ at that time. 15€ for ET wee already crazy collector prices as if I bought a special figure seperately on the secondary market. Many people die not support that level of greed. I got Slimer, Marshmallow man, ET and the Gremlins. I only got the game later on sale for 25€, because I already had some characters and packs like Gimli were available for about 3€. - the licences chosen. There was pretty much no option worse than ghostbustes 2016 in general. I was an adult, when it came out, jet knight rider is so old, even I had no connection to it. How should this reach kids? At the same time I detest adventure times and Power Puffer girls. A good Raven minifigure would have been insanely popular with lots of Comic nerds buying a pack just for the figure - but not with the strange face design because of choosing teen Titans Go. 3 Lastly: very different quality in each pack. The classic Ghostbusters level pack rocked. The Lego movie characters had awesome lines talking to each other... then there is the Simpsons level pack with a much shorter level for the same price and a fun pack with Bart noch speaking at all.
I played the Wii U version religiously and I never had these problems that were shown, I mean I’ve played the PS4 version and it was much better but still
if my game doesn't work anymore i'm just gonna pose the figures in my lego city. lots of characters. all of them. (my dad bought them all, holy crap the amount that must have costed)
You gotta be kidding me. I literally didn’t even notice that Toys “R” Us had a lot of Lego dimension characters there and I didn’t even notice that they even had it there in the first place I literally have three characters already and already I got the back to the future one with Doc Brown and Marty McFly with the DeLorean and the train as well and I also had the Lego Simpson with meand I’m getting the set already. I already got one that’s on Amazon since you can purchase it, but it literally causes that much. They literally have all the legal dimension characters were on Amazon and they still sell them although I never actually played the game before, but it will be fun because now I’m gonna try to to experience it.😮🎉😂😅😊
God I love LEGO Dimensions. Screw Skylanders, and… you know Disney Infinity still has a special place in my heart. I used to be a huge sucker for LEGO Dimensions. I made countless videos of it, and guess what… most of those videos weren’t good. But, I wouldn’t have a RUclips Channel that’s thriving if it weren’t for LEGO Dimensions. That… I’m grateful… and Im not embarrassed.
No wonder my Wii U is getting so much lag in game, no voice dialog, and some glitches. I never thought the Wii U can be this bad after all these years. Matters worst since now the online is shutting down with the eshop it’s now unobtainable to redownload all the download content for year 2. Can’t believe all my collection and waiting to play just go to waste for my Wii U to can’t go back and download content. Guess I should go get the ps4 game disc
Have to disagree about the updates as a concept being a part of the downfall of this game. A lot of the advertising told you going in that you didn't have to buy new games. I even remember some advertisements specifically stating they were making "obsolescence obsolete". One of the things that made me buy it was I was a Disney Infinity fan that kept having to buy new games with every single update (also the fact that you were able to play characters in different worlds, but that's beside the point). Now the updates breaking games that are on older consoles... that I can see completely negating that entire concept for people. I guess I was lucky and just played it on ps 3. But it also was not obscure knowledge that they were going to an "updating" model as opposed to a "buy every update as a separate game" model. It was a shame that this game didn't last until 2019 though. I have a head full of interactions related to time traveling characters from previous waves and Rex Dangervest.
Ok price complaints killed it. How's those prices now on the secondary market? I prefer buying at retail than changing my mind for whatever reason later and it's retired or gone and paying inflated value prices on the secondary market
I've just released part 2 to this video here - ruclips.net/video/gj6eXxSFyug/видео.html
GREAT LEGO MAN CAM LEGO Lego dimensions TRAGIC DOWNFALL OF 2015-2017 VIDEO,
Hearing you say E3 was a big convention "back in the day" made me sad. It feels like just yesterday when we saw the trailer for Smash Ultimate at E3. I'm sad it's gone
Ikr I used to love watching people cover E3 and checking out all the new information :(
At least we got stuff like Sir Swag's gaming news (occasionally) and Lyle's pregame discharge
E3 isn’t gone, it just reverting to what it was meant to be, a conference for share holders. If you have shares in any large electronic company or associated with any of them you should receive an invite to the conference.

I had it on WiiU. I never “completed” the Goonies level. I made it to the end with 100% minikits, but it kept freezing up on the ending cutscene.

@@Awesome_Dawson_Films_Official strongly agreed 👍 💯
Bring back Lego dimension the game, but ditch the toys to life aspect and make physical sets based on the game.
They'd have to restore all the collaborations all over again though.
I’m a huge sucker for crossovers and mashups. This was the perfect one. It came and left before its time! The interactions were too cute. Like Wicked Witch being fond of the No-Ghost Logo on the Ecto-1.

Oh dont do that, dont give me hope
I think it was renewed for Funko Fusion as it is made by the same people that worked on Lego games
just get me a pc port like disney infinity and im good lol
Lego dimensions was the natural upgrade the franchise needed and out of everyone theyve been in the toy game with different brands for years ...
Great video, and I'd be interested in you making a year 3 cancelled sets video or something like that!
Thanks! Hoping to make it one of my next videos!

I love Dimensions, and the cancellation is super sad. Im still an active member of the community and theres tons still playing it, using emulators and custom nfc chips.
Id also like to mention the Wii U never ran poorly during early year 2. Just2Good had the Toy Pad on top of the Wii U, which you are specifically not supposed to put two active magnets on top of each other, hence why the game was glitched and barely running on the tv, yet working fine on the Gamepad. This was user error.
Oh wow I didn't even notice that! How on earth did they not realise that when its literally the first thing it says when you boot up the game ahahha. Thanks for letting me know!
Aw! What strange timing, because I've been trying (and failing miserably) to play this game again, either emulated or on my Wii U!
If you have anything other than a Wii U I would recommend playing on that. It's a really fun game it'll just cost you a lot these days :(
@@LegoManCam I've had my Wii U and it's Dimensions copy for a while, all the stuff linked to the DLC just stopped working though :/ I tried emulating both the USA and PAL versions on the PS3, but that would work entirely.
Realizing that someone who was 10 in 2015 is 19 now makes me feel old
Double check that
man i actually also played lego dimensions on the xbox 360, and i loved this game, it was mad expensive for my younger self but the game was so entertaining with so many different franchises etc, it was always a blast but kind of sad when you couldn't get to spaces in the game because of a pay wall
Bought a sonic level pack a few days ago at marshals for like 5 bucks and it really brought me back
Such fun memories of this game. I do remember the issues though - the day when I was finally able to venture into ETs crashed ship was a momentous one!
100 for the starter pack? I remember retailed for 70 euros, just like skylanders and Disney infinity
But yeh, prices were very high, especially compared to the other
Also fun fact, in Italy and Spain, the game came out a year later (when y2 came out), and for that reason plus the fact of the discontinuation of the game, every time that a new wave came out, all sets were discounted by half price (probably not when they released the game, but after that always 50% less)
Thanks to that, the only things bought at retail proce were the starter pack and Portal level pack
All the rest was bought always at half the price
Wow that's awesome to be able to get everything at half price! I think I probably bought everything at a discount too, but nothing crazy until the game was properly on clearance!
Best lego game in my opinion god this game was my childhood and I will always love it so sad that it ended but I’ll never forget the memories I had and will continue to have with it 😊
I've always wanted Lego Dimensions... Then and still now... I never got it. ;(
Hey bro loved ur video just one thing, what's the soundtrack you used in your video under your sounds? It sounds very familiar and it's been stuck in my head a while now, is it for any Lego games?
For this video I just used the main dimensions theme, for most of my other videos though I use Pokemon Black and White music
I would love to hear more more about the cuts from this game, my love
One of my fondest memories happened while I was playing this. My dad and I were exploring Atlantis (with superman of course, since he had unlimited breath underwater) and we were having a ton of fun, then we started messing around and he accidentally knocked one of my teeth out with his controller. We spent 15 minutes looking for it and we laugh about it even now.
my lego dimensions story is a bit of an interesting one, so, it was mid to late 2016, i had lego dimensions for my wii u (didn’t have any other console at the time), wave 3 was about to release, and i was getting the content ready on my wii u, when i get the message saying my wii u had run out of memory, so i tried clearing up some storage, yet it didn’t work, so then i completely uninstalled my games, yet it kept giving me the error, like my wii u’s storage was still being used despite nothing being on it, so my lego dimensions time had ended there, but i wasn’t ready to give up yet, so many years later in 2024, i got an xbox series x, got a copy of lego’s dimensions for xbox one, and got all the packs i was missing, and now im back in my lego dimensions prime again.
is it worth it to buy all the packs now? cause i missed the dimensions wave but i want to play the game in full potential now. Is it worth it?
I never understood why a game that was pitched to 7-14 yr olds went so heavy into ips that most kids wouldn't understand - mostly all the 80s stuff.
Yeah really great point. It seems like all the designers and game devs loved the older franchises but they were'nt right for kids
I can already see funko fusion's having the same fate as lego dimensions
I remember finding a whole bunch of starter packs in 2019 at a discounted place for like $40 I think and I remember the fun packs were not even that discounted at Walmart when the game was cancelled in Canada sadly

Won't happen. Lego destroyed any trust, when they said they would produce 3 years of content and ended the whole thing after 2. I doubt many who bought the first wave, when it came out would do it again and the whole product was aimed at adults to begin with. Those will remember.
@@guyincognito4182 it won’t be a toys to life game. I think that’s why the game didn’t go on too long.
@@jonmcintyre1144 oh, you mean all those licences are included in the base game?
i really wish they would remaster this game and change it to not have the the lego sets
My only issue with lego dimensions was that the level packs always seemed to be bugged for me. (I was on Xbox 360).
Use to play this game I do miss it alot
Luckily I got the required toy packs needed to complete the game when the popularity was on a downturn , buying on the second-hand market , avoiding the high store prices. Now the scarcity of these pads will kick in and send the price up. A lot of the figures were not needed to 100% the game.
Watching this with the game case taped above my computer
They should remake this on the Switch or Switch 2, and add what was planned for year 2 and 3 in it. And they should make it to where you’d have to do mini missions in each world to unlock the characters corresponding to it.
Bro my wii u worked fine with the updates this has made me sad
I used to play this game with my little brother all the time. Sucks to see what happened to it.
Let's not forget about another toys to life thing that came out to, TELEPODS, it was only used in Angry Birds games such as Star Wars, Go, Transformers and Stella.
So your telling me this game wasnt a fever dream
I really miss lego dimensions. All we have now is that gandalf minifigure but everything else is lost
I miss toys to life
Me too! I loved going to the store and seeing all the different figures!
Do you know where i could get the ps4 starter pack with everything and the portal 2 level pack because i want to get those and a ps5 for my birthday
Yes please! I would to see a long or short video of the cancelled content of Year 2 & 3. Please make it happen and I will be there on day one! You’re video is awesome and I love Lego Dimensions and it’s my favourite Lego game ever and one of my favourite games of all time.
Thanks so much! I'm getting started on the video soon!
@@LegoManCam Thanks for the reply, man! (Sorry if I’m two weeks late)
If they put John Carter in Lego Dimensions, it would be alive today
I really wanted to play LEGO Dimensions, it looked so fun and awesome, but at the time it came out I was living at my grandparents' house (who did not like me playing video games, and would certainly not agree with me having it) and after we moved out like a year later, we were basically poor for a few years, plus we didn't really have any consoles since we moved to our grandparents' house.
Edit: 17:29 yeah, I was definitely destined to not have this game, no matter how much I want it
Man I loved this game. I am still playing it on an emulator, but I miss the toypad vibes
Bro I would rather Jake then emmet
ATP WE JUST NEED A REMAKE OF LEGO DIMENSIONS, OR A SECOND GAME OF LEGO DIMENSIONS FR 🙄, BUT WITHOUT THE TOYS SET OR WHATEVER CAUSE LEGO DIMENSIONS WAS, AND IS A LEGENDARY LEGO GAME ONG 💯💯.
I remember 10 year old self. I wanted to get an Xbox because I saw cool games that I was interested in and my mother got me the Xbox 360 but when I got Lego dimensions I was enjoying it but there was lots of loading time, and I sat through playing a lot of the levels until the cut scene where Lord business is in the Simpsons level and it just froze and I was confused and trying everything to to fix it and nothing worked unless I exited it and start all over and I lost my shit never played it until months later and the same thing happened so I never played it again
Every time I saved an exit, even though it said, save in it it just said that the Contant that you played through is gonna get deleted
Great video, thanks man!
I think there are 3 reasons:
- crazy pricing. Lego does not understand, that digital content is pretty much worthless these days. You get Witcher 3, where more effort went into many sidequest than in the whole Lego dimensions product, for 5€ in sale on a regular basis. The only way to make insane amounts of money with zero effort are skins in online Multiplayer games, which Lego dimensions is not. People were pretty much only paying for the figure. The best ones would be cmf quality, so 3€ at that time. 15€ for ET wee already crazy collector prices as if I bought a special figure seperately on the secondary market. Many people die not support that level of greed. I got Slimer, Marshmallow man, ET and the Gremlins. I only got the game later on sale for 25€, because I already had some characters and packs like Gimli were available for about 3€.
- the licences chosen. There was pretty much no option worse than ghostbustes 2016 in general. I was an adult, when it came out, jet knight rider is so old, even I had no connection to it. How should this reach kids? At the same time I detest adventure times and Power Puffer girls. A good Raven minifigure would have been insanely popular with lots of Comic nerds buying a pack just for the figure - but not with the strange face design because of choosing teen Titans Go.
3 Lastly: very different quality in each pack. The classic Ghostbusters level pack rocked. The Lego movie characters had awesome lines talking to each other... then there is the Simpsons level pack with a much shorter level for the same price and a fun pack with Bart noch speaking at all.
This is my favorite video game of all time, even though I got it a year late
I clicked on this video just to see if this guy would mention Skylanders… I continued to watch the whole thing just cause he has an awesome voice.
I played the Wii U version religiously and I never had these problems that were shown, I mean I’ve played the PS4 version and it was much better but still
My first fun pack was cyborg.
Such a great pack that one! Love the cyborg minifigure!
if my game doesn't work anymore i'm just gonna pose the figures in my lego city. lots of characters. all of them. (my dad bought them all, holy crap the amount that must have costed)
I’m still playing, just got to grow my collection
Hopefully you can find some at good prices!
My console couldnt even get to the simpson level I crashed every time
Only my goats remember Joel McKale as Orion the power ranger from super megaforce 😭
You gotta be kidding me. I literally didn’t even notice that Toys “R” Us had a lot of Lego dimension characters there and I didn’t even notice that they even had it there in the first place I literally have three characters already and already I got the back to the future one with Doc Brown and Marty McFly with the DeLorean and the train as well and I also had the Lego Simpson with meand I’m getting the set already. I already got one that’s on Amazon since you can purchase it, but it literally causes that much. They literally have all the legal dimension characters were on Amazon and they still sell them although I never actually played the game before, but it will be fun because now I’m gonna try to to experience it.😮🎉😂😅😊
This toys to life bullshit backfired real hard. Fuck were they thinking with this shit?
My cousin bought the Xbox dimension now he gave me his entire Lego set & now I see what this portal thing was..
God I love LEGO Dimensions. Screw Skylanders, and… you know Disney Infinity still has a special place in my heart. I used to be a huge sucker for LEGO Dimensions. I made countless videos of it, and guess what… most of those videos weren’t good. But, I wouldn’t have a RUclips Channel that’s thriving if it weren’t for LEGO Dimensions. That… I’m grateful… and Im not embarrassed.
I honestly hope we get some new Toys2Life games
I really wish they had a version of the game on Steam like Disney Infinity. I'm not bouta get flagged tryna emulate this game again
No wonder my Wii U is getting so much lag in game, no voice dialog, and some glitches. I never thought the Wii U can be this bad after all these years. Matters worst since now the online is shutting down with the eshop it’s now unobtainable to redownload all the download content for year 2. Can’t believe all my collection and waiting to play just go to waste for my Wii U to can’t go back and download content. Guess I should go get the ps4 game disc
You know what's funny, I still have my box from this 😂
Lego dimensions > multiversus
100% agree! The gameplay of Dimensions is so much better!
Have to disagree about the updates as a concept being a part of the downfall of this game.
A lot of the advertising told you going in that you didn't have to buy new games. I even remember some advertisements specifically stating they were making "obsolescence obsolete". One of the things that made me buy it was I was a Disney Infinity fan that kept having to buy new games with every single update (also the fact that you were able to play characters in different worlds, but that's beside the point).
Now the updates breaking games that are on older consoles... that I can see completely negating that entire concept for people. I guess I was lucky and just played it on ps 3. But it also was not obscure knowledge that they were going to an "updating" model as opposed to a "buy every update as a separate game" model.
It was a shame that this game didn't last until 2019 though. I have a head full of interactions related to time traveling characters from previous waves and Rex Dangervest.
i figured out how to change vehicle toy tags to other vehicles LOL
This video made re-buy the game just for nostalgia, I had it for Wii U but I no longer have my Wii U so I just bought the Xbox 360 version
Hope you enjoy playing!
@@LegoManCam I will, I also bought the ghostbusters story pack cause it’s one I always wanted but couldn’t get
2:42 the game would make you buy them and go bankrupt as a kid.
I had to collect the figures roughly £700 spent to collect all the figures.
and it didnt came to europe at all it felt like it was exclusive to some countries
I'm in Italy and here the game was present, i Remember that in those years was very popoular
@@Supersgrodolo weird it never came to greece and i was so hyped to get the game and some packs
@@menelaoslagos3242 i'm sorry 😢.
It seemed very good
Low key thought you were Joel Michale for a sec
I WISH ahahaa
3:14 4:40 8:05 10:10 13:05 16:53 21:18
Me playing this game on my ps5 and 100%ing it because i used nfc tags to get characters I don't have: 👁👄👁
Cut content lego dimensions please?
I love Skylanders
I’m still buying characters for this game 😭 mainly Ninjago
I was 10 at it's release as well
I wonder if negativity and not being satisfied with the packs killed it or the actual game play.
Ok price complaints killed it. How's those prices now on the secondary market? I prefer buying at retail than changing my mind for whatever reason later and it's retired or gone and paying inflated value prices on the secondary market
I loved it I just never finished it because what child did
I could never finish it on Xbox360 because of all the glitches :(
I think this is the best lego game ever made
