Surprised Marty didn't make it on the list. Marty is so underwhelming as a character. He only has one ability, that's it. He comes with a level but he's such a basic character otherwise.
At least he has original lines voiced by the original actor. Gimli, on the other hand, has just a few voicelines ripped out from the movies and barely gets any cool abilities. Then again, Year 1 characters compared to Year 2 characters are underwhelming when it comes to abilities.
@@GoblinBricksI personally don’t like the back to the future level much. It’s very quick and takes like 20 minutes at max to complete. The midway arcade level was aight and Marty’s abilities are terrible
Considering the amount of limitations set on The Simpsons (Voice Acting, Music, etc.) it’s a miracle they’re as well represented and enjoyable in the final product, I’ll always be baffled they didn’t make Lisa and Marge playable characters. It’s also weird Claire wasn’t chosen as a Jurassic World rep. despite Bruce Dallas Howard returning to voice her for the game, probably some boomer executive thinking “why have more then 8 female characters in Year 1? Girls don’t play video games”. I’d love to see a video where you make your own character roster for the game limited to the IPs that were included.
I’m in two minds about the Simpsons, hence why they ended up in my best and worst videos! A video choosing better picks from each franchise like that could be a good idea!
@@eeveeofalltrades4780 good point! Aside from hacking, sonar smash (through screaming she did a great bit about it on Conan) and maybe acrobatics she doesn’t have a lot to pull from off the top of the head
I think it would be interesting to see a video regarding what additional characters from the included IPs that should have been playable in dimensions and what abilities they'd have along with interactions from other characters. My examples for characters that should have been playable are as follows; From DC comic: The Flash, Green Lantern, Lex Luther, and Dark Seid From Lord of the Rings (and the Hobbit to some extension): Frodo, Sam, Bilbo, Sauron, and Saurman the white From the lego movie: Metal beard, vituvius, and lord business From Scooby Doo: the remainder of the mystery inc gang Daphne, Velma, and Fred should have been playable from the getgo From the Simpsons: Marge and Lisa with their move set being based on the konami aracde game From The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy with the ability to switch between Scarecrow, tinman, and the lion much like how the ghostbusters and A-team member could switch with each other From Harry Potter: Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, and Ginny Weasley should have been welcomed as playable considering how big and popular Harry Potter is for WB aside from lord of the rings (No clue as to why Ron was completely excluded from the game, he wasn't even an NPC with a mission in the adventure world) From Adventure Time: Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, and Flame Princess would have been nice additions to the playable roster And finally from Sonic the Hedgehog: Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow most definitely should have been playable characters alongside Sonic and they could've had their play styles be just like how they handled in the adventure games and sonic 06, along with the 05 shadow game for shadow's play style.
I always wished Gamer Kid would receive an update that lets you choose his energy drink on a wheel like Finn with his swords. Even though it's your personal opinion, I don't think Gamer Kid deserves to be in the worst characters, mainly because of the Adventure World and the Arcade Cabinet he came with. Also, for someone who wasn't really into DC, Gamer Kid was able to replace some of the abilities you required Superman for.
@GoblinBricks yeah, that would have been pretty cool. As far as I know, Midway literally gives its licenses to anyone, so I guess it was a way cheaper option than getting Namco or Konami. They still had some iconic games, so I'm happy with what we got, but I can't deny that it would have been cooler to have games from different publishers as well.
@@GoblinBricksTbh, the only other ones I could see them going with are Atari 2600 games (then again, I don't know much about arcade games in general 😭)
I agree with the ACU placement, but at the same time, one of my favorite parts of Lego games is being able to play as nameless background characters, so I appreciate ACU trooper keeping that tradition alive in this game (since he is the only one in the whole game)
If the game lived long enough to include Disney IPs. I feel like a Storm or (preferably) Clone Trooper would have eclipsed him in that role. Being more recognizable, having a lot more potential for banter, and just being a lot cooler to play as then a reuse of a generic security guard.
theres a bunch of generics and random npcs (like velma, natalia, michael and mary) that are in the collection.txt file where all the playable characters would have went in any other lego game. If we end up getting a steam release of dimensions, im hoping they let us play as these characters
Great video though I will say, that in terms of the ACU trooper, the electricity ability is also shared by Jay, so 4 characters have it not 3. Also, Claire Dearing's has voice lines in the game, albeit the Jurassic World Adventure World. So I am not really sure why she wasn't included in the team pack instead. Also, why did bro do Tina Goldstien dirty again! 😭
To this day, I find it so laughable how we got an ACU Trooper in LEGO Dimensions, and not Ron Weasley, Dorothy Gale, The Flash, Princess Bubblegum, Frodo Baggins, ect.
I would agree on you on Gamer Kid for a moment. However, his voice actor play but spectacular Spider-Man Josh Keaton was amazing and he has dialogue with his characters and everything, but however, in his own level pack, he never talks, which doesn’t make any sense? I don’t know who he is. He’s just a kid who likes 80s arcade games. Which is like kinda mid in my opinion for a personality character. I kind of wish Lego that matches will give him a personality. Something that he can feel or something that he does for a living.
I actually had an idea when i was writing a year 3 thing where unlocking the megaman world would give you a few extra arcade games to get for your midway arcade machine based on capcom titles. Strider, street fighter 2 turbo, 1943, captain commando, and ghosts and goblins were the arcade games selected
Super girl slander, shes a better superman in every way, No copyright audio More abilities Can clip out of bounds Is essential for speed running Also just get custom tags for cheap then make a custom it's how i have all of my y2 characters (exultation of tlmb level pack)
Recently discovered this channel and just wanted to say, I'm so happy to see there is a community for one of my favorite games when it seemed like no one around me cared about it, great videos.
Oh! Awesome video idea! Have you ever seen those videos about Super Smash Bros. and cutting the roster in half? Do one video about franchises and one about characters!
I was really lucky to get a Green Arrow for free at a local lego convention. I had to collect 20 cards with different Year 2 characters on them, and then bring them to a stand where they gave me the polybag. I was so excited to boot up the game and play as Green Arrow... And he was very underwhelming.
I have a love-hate relationship with the ACU trooper. At first I disliked him for how generic he was. So much so that when I displayed him I’d angle him so he’s upside down so he could have something special, but I think that kinda made him more endearing for me to the point he’s up with some of my favorites now.
Wished they added Your Name to LEGO Dimensions. It would have been cool to play as the two main leads, but seeing how chosing their vehicles and/or gadgets is very hard as the two protagonists aren't seen driving or operating anything in the movie, this would have been very hard
Another fun thing you can do with E.T. is take him into that level in the Fantastic Beasts story pack where Tina's in the execution chamber. While the wizards you fight there normally teleport away when you attack them, E.T. can straight up throw them into the pool they're trying to execute Tina with and kill them.
My worst characters have to be Gimili, Stay puff marshmello man and the golden ninja. They were the few of the last characters I needed at the time and Staypuff was so expensive £16-£20 and I barely used him since I had already had many strong characters. Gimli is just ultimately useless I’ve forgotten his abilities is he has any. And the golden ninja was also expensive and I had no use for him since I already owned the ninja double pack from my OG collection. So spinners were completely useless to me but that’s more of personal experience.
In my 100% run of dimensions the characters I used the least was Harley quinn bane and Gimli each having a whopping total of 3 uses (keep in mind I usually use the characters of the given dimension so between the level, the dimension and the bonus dimension I only used these 3 more as obligation rather then actually using them)
The weird thing with Bart Simpson is that Nancy Cartwright made it onto IMDB as the voice actor, so I'm wondering if there was some point where the character was meant to talk and then the rights holders changed their mind or something.
@@GoblinBricks The variations on copyright for this game are interested. Simpsons seemed to be very limited, while for example Doctor Who was very open to what they could do. I even saw an interview in which Dan Starkey (Strax) said he basically re-wrote all his lines on the spot because he didn't feel the original lines sounded like the character.
Was maybe going to say Krusty should have been with Bart on that spot for similar reason, but then I double checked and realized he does have voice lines....could have sworn he was silent too, whoops. As for some of my picks: Marty McFly, as much as I love BttF his limited abilities really hurts him, and the level for it was really underwhelming. Do alt characters count? If so then Jacob Kowalski from Newt Schamander, for similar reasons to Marty in that he can barely do anything.
ET is one of my top favourites. I just love how he waddles around. He’s so cute. A completely useless character but I really enjoyed playing as him once I got him.
I’ve watched one video that said something very interesting that lego isn’t an toy based company is an story based company since all the themes that well more have an actual plot and story (nothing to do with dimensiones but still)
Gamer Kid was one of my most used characters in this game for a good while, I liked his abilities, Adventure World & Level Pack a lot… once I got used to the Arcade games that is…
If I had to include one more character into the list, it would definitely be the guy from "The A Team". Like... man, I have never seen nor heard anything about it, and for that I always felt he was a filler character and franchise in Lego Dimensions, especially since he only came in a simple fun pack and... honestly I have no idea about his abilities, but I guess he doesn't offer much either
The worst thing about Supergirl was that for a long time, she was the only character with the lantern ability. Those of us without a PS4 had to wait a whole year for the final wave to buy characters with that ability, but we had been taunted by obstacles requiring the lantern ability since the start of Season 2. 😡
Unfortunately they did set up the game in such a way that literally every character is needed to do at least 1 part of it that no one else can do. Like the secret mission in the school that gets you a gold brick in Simpson world requires el barto. Et is needed for et world, also supergirl was the first to be able to use construct ability so you needed her in early levels where the other characters who have that ability were not available until the update of the shard
tbh Micheal Knight from Knight Rider wasn’t really the best character to play as, some cool abilities (not much) and pretty forgettable playability and franchise in general (nothing against the hoff)
Because Marty Mcfly has voice lines both old and new all voiced by his actor who portrayed him in the Back to the Future films , Michael J Fox. Whereas most characters in Lego Dimensions who have voice lines are usually voiced by reused audio files from films or games they have been in or instead they use a different actor close to their voice instead. if you listen to a character like Harry Potter's voice lines they are reused audio lines from Daniel Radcliffe from the Harry Potter films and they aren't new and weren't voiced specifically for the game.
Et is surprising to say the least. I like ET. I dont use him often but hes pretty good. I heavily disagree hes functionally bad. If you want functionally bad, look at Unikitty, marty, and bane. also I love the 80s obsession. I would have done the same thing if I worked on dimensions. Gamer kid is pretty good functionally, but i dont like him for different reasons than "midway is boring" in fact, maybe im showing my 80s gaming love but the way midway is represented is amazing. Gamer kid doesnt need to be there, hes just a random guy. What about scorpion instead? Heck, just release the arcade alone instead. Theres loads of little games there. While gamer kid is meh, midway is in my top 3 franchises in dimensions. the ACU trooper was so sad. WE could have had a character from Jurassic park instead but no, just an ACU trooper. also wheres unikitty? she practically has 1 "total ability". 2 common "abilities" any minifig can do she cant, 2 abilities she actually can do, and all thats left is big transformation which does nothing. really surprised no one ever points this out, maybe more because no one uses her except me anyways.... welll uhh she did make my life better... I guess she is best character afterall Gimli should have been on here too. he was meant to replicate lego LOTR minus carrying people because you cant do that in dimensions so it makes him feel underwhelming
I think I was writing this video from the angle of things I found disappointing personally. I didn’t think for Gimli or Unikitty because I rarely use them and haven’t really dived into their source material too much, whereas something like Bart or ET really annoyed me because I thought they’re either not a great fit for the game or they could’ve been done better!
@@GoblinBricks yeah no one really use unikitty as much as me, let alone not even remotely close haha. Surprised you never saw lego movie either. Also, Next time you play dimensions, find the nearest small and big puzzle you see, have unikitty be small, take her under the glass cube and have her hold it. youll know what i mean when shes buggy. Now you mention disappointing, I do find the ghostbusters OG a bit disappointing. leaving aside the fact abby yates made peter venkman irrelavent, you need to use a vehicle tag to catch ghosts with venkman. If you dont have that, peter is essentially worthless and 3 abilities short which can be frustrating for people who often lose their stuff or have little room to keep their things
Definitely agree with Et like the adventure world and the minifig but the character himself is pretty bad especially because he can’t even really fight I also agree that the auc trooper is definitely the most pointless character
id say green arrow is the worst character, he only has 4 abilitys, 2 of witch come with the starter pack anyways, target is held by about a dozen diffrent characters, and you if you need pole vault, you can get a character like finn for a quarter of the price and get a new hub world, level, and a bunch more abilites, at least with characters like tina and bart, you had a cheaper way of gaining acsess to the hub worlds, and supergirl being effectively free with the lego dimensions pack could be helpful for starting characters, but green arrow brings nothing but voicelines.
honestly this video is all news to me cuz i got the game in 2017, only ever bought a few packs but im doing the nft thing where u get all the other characters with NFT cards. If you dont have the packs, i would recommend it
Actually I know at least here in America I got green arrow because it was part of a deal GameStop was doing for Black Friday. It was something on the lines buy stuff and you can get this as well.
That's much better than how it was handled here. I worked for a video game chain in the UK and we had strict instructions to only give it out with Starter Packs.
As a Lego Games expert, do you think it would sell well if TT Games made one of their Lego Games based on one of Lego's original properties, rather than a liscenced theme? (For examle, a Lego Pirates, Space or Castle videogame, which would have characters and vehicles from the toyline, but the gameplay would be similar to the Lego games we know.)
Hey - I'm by no means an expert on LEGO games, but I would point you in the direction of LEGO City Undercover. It didn't sell well initially because of the Wii U and 3DS at the time, but once it came to other consoles more people have found it and there's a really strong love for it on the internet nowadays!
@@GoblinBricks Oh yeah, I have fond memories of that! I even bought the set that Chase McCain came in back in the day, and unlocked the secret level with the code!
Lego dimensions is my favorite Lego game and I am thinking of creating a port of the game for pc so the FULL GAME can be preserved forever and more easy to play and find and it’s free and it ads new content and fixes things wrong with the game but still keeping all the content from the game b it its just a idea I had
The fact we didn't get green lanturn despite having to use his symbol dozens of times in the game is bs The fact we never got flash though stupid mission impossible could turn into him run on a treadmill to get a minikit was even a bigger load of bull dookie
Yup, I'll absolutely go with the characters you picked. Great video. Additionally I would also add Marty McFly to the list. I don't like that choice, because I actually adore Back to the Future, the content of it here and the Level Pack (despite it's short length compared to others). However Marty can literally do nothin besides shattering sonic glass and dancin around (which is unfortunately only a nice gimmick and no real ability). And that one ability is not even special, like, you can use plenty of other characters, who are far mor useful. In my case I often used Laval, The Doctor or Slimer. Quite a shame for a character, who is voiced by the legend Michael J. Fox himself (or his regular voice actor in the dubbed version). And probably Eris from Chima, Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, Gimli and the purple princess from Adventure Time, whose name I forgot, are on an equal level to me. At least they have more than good old Marty. And the vehicle of Eris was quite useful to complete races.
I always thought Hermione was one of the worst characters, tbh. For being one of the game's last characters, she has the same, if not less abilities than Harry or Voldemort, so there's not really any point in playing her when the other Wizarding world characters can do so much more.
I would agree with you if Tina wasn’t in the game. I feel like Harry Ron and Hermione not being in the game together was crazy, even if they’re similar it’s almost expected in a way… Honestly they should’ve binned off Voldemort and had Hagrid or Dumbledore IMO
Hey I'm starting to try get into lego dimensions again and I just bought a xbox 360 version of the game but I'm planning on using the xbox series x to play the game do you think I'll still be able to play all the levels and worlds? I have the digital content already installed
You won’t be able to use the disc or toy pad from 360 on the Series X, you will need the Xbox One version of the game. If you’ve claimed the DLC you should be fine!
I can't believe [insert character here] was done so dirty! [pronoun] should've had so many more abilities like [ability] and [thing that's not even in the game]! I especially can't believe [pronoun] had [pretty good vehicle] as a vehicle and not [random obscure thing that appeared once], such a shame, [pronoun] could've been so great 😔
this list is bit meh, i think one think you failed to take a look is actually at content provided. Since most characters are behind massive paywall, i think what characters provide value wise should be also a big factor. I think characters like Bart are even worse because it doesn't give you any abilities that are required to 100% the game and is a waste since if you trying to complete the game, you will have homer who opens the simpsons world anyway
Hello Goblinbricks my name is Isaiah and I have something important to say to you. God loves you and like any father he wants to help you and keep you safe especially from the devil.

Marty was almost in Gamer Kid's spot, but I thought about it and honestly the BTTF level is way better than the Midway level IMO

From Scooby Doo: the remainder of the mystery inc gang Daphne, Velma, and Fred should have been playable from the getgo
From the Simpsons: Marge and Lisa with their move set being based on the konami aracde game
From The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy with the ability to switch between Scarecrow, tinman, and the lion much like how the ghostbusters and A-team member could switch with each other
From Harry Potter: Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, and Ginny Weasley should have been welcomed as playable considering how big and popular Harry Potter is for WB aside from lord of the rings (No clue as to why Ron was completely excluded from the game, he wasn't even an NPC with a mission in the adventure world)
From Adventure Time: Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, and Flame Princess would have been nice additions to the playable roster
And finally from Sonic the Hedgehog: Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow most definitely should have been playable characters alongside Sonic and they could've had their play styles be just like how they handled in the adventure games and sonic 06, along with the 05 shadow game for shadow's play style.

I’ve watched one video that said something very interesting that lego isn’t an toy based company is an story based company since all the themes that well more have an actual plot and story (nothing to do with dimensiones but still)
It's kinda true I guess, I do love a good easter egg!
Gamer Kid was one of my most used characters in this game for a good while, I liked his abilities, Adventure World & Level Pack a lot… once I got used to the Arcade games that is…
Chase McCain could easily take him in a fight
If I had to include one more character into the list, it would definitely be the guy from "The A Team".
Like... man, I have never seen nor heard anything about it, and for that I always felt he was a filler character and franchise in Lego Dimensions, especially since he only came in a simple fun pack and... honestly I have no idea about his abilities, but I guess he doesn't offer much either
Somebody out there who's good with simpsons voice impressions should make up fanmade voice lines/interactions for Homer, Krusty and Bart
I've got the Special Starter Pack with Super Girl for PS4 one week ago for Cheap
N I C E
Instead of Supergirl we should have get like Wonder Woman or someone else
Wonder Woman is already in the game
The worst thing about Supergirl was that for a long time, she was the only character with the lantern ability. Those of us without a PS4 had to wait a whole year for the final wave to buy characters with that ability, but we had been taunted by obstacles requiring the lantern ability since the start of Season 2. 😡
It's insane that Green Lantern wasn't the answer to the Green Lantern puzzles.
It’s so sad that Barney Gumbel wasn’t in the Simpsons! I get it, he’s a drunk, but they could’ve just made him addicted to Buzz Cola or something!
Rip game.
Also, Supergirl should have used an orange ring.:)
BECAUSE OF THE GREEEEED
Honestly I think a boss ranking for each game is great
Unfortunately they did set up the game in such a way that literally every character is needed to do at least 1 part of it that no one else can do. Like the secret mission in the school that gets you a gold brick in Simpson world requires el barto. Et is needed for et world, also supergirl was the first to be able to use construct ability so you needed her in early levels where the other characters who have that ability were not available until the update of the shard
Love these vids, great to see that the game is still being talked about to this day ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
You should rank every Lego characters ability worse to best or best mini worlds
tbh Micheal Knight from Knight Rider wasn’t really the best character to play as, some cool abilities (not much) and pretty forgettable playability and franchise in general (nothing against the hoff)
I agree, Knight Rider was such a bizarre inclusion in the first place
Tina does at least give you acces to the fantastic beasts world without needing to purchase the more expensive story pack
Yeah OR you could get Harry, Voldemort or Hermione and play the good Harry Potter hub!
Marty McFly literally has 1 ability, why isn't he here 😭
Because Marty Mcfly has voice lines both old and new all voiced by his actor who portrayed him in the Back to the Future films , Michael J Fox. Whereas most characters in Lego Dimensions who have voice lines are usually voiced by reused audio files from films or games they have been in or instead they use a different actor close to their voice instead.
if you listen to a character like Harry Potter's voice lines they are reused audio lines from Daniel Radcliffe from the Harry Potter films and they aren't new and weren't voiced specifically for the game.
@Themaoriraccoon I mean yeah, but most characters in the game have original voice lines, and more abilities.
I prefer the BTTF Level Pack to the Midway Arcade Level Pack that is essentially a rubbish emulator with extra steps IMO
@@GoblinBricks Makes sense I guess. I just find it weird how the actual most useless character isn't on the list 😭
Et is surprising to say the least. I like ET. I dont use him often but hes pretty good. I heavily disagree hes functionally bad. If you want functionally bad, look at Unikitty, marty, and bane. also I love the 80s obsession. I would have done the same thing if I worked on dimensions.
Gamer kid is pretty good functionally, but i dont like him for different reasons than "midway is boring" in fact, maybe im showing my 80s gaming love but the way midway is represented is amazing. Gamer kid doesnt need to be there, hes just a random guy. What about scorpion instead? Heck, just release the arcade alone instead. Theres loads of little games there. While gamer kid is meh, midway is in my top 3 franchises in dimensions.
the ACU trooper was so sad. WE could have had a character from Jurassic park instead but no, just an ACU trooper.
also wheres unikitty? she practically has 1 "total ability". 2 common "abilities" any minifig can do she cant, 2 abilities she actually can do, and all thats left is big transformation which does nothing. really surprised no one ever points this out, maybe more because no one uses her except me anyways.... welll uhh she did make my life better... I guess she is best character afterall
Gimli should have been on here too. he was meant to replicate lego LOTR minus carrying people because you cant do that in dimensions so it makes him feel underwhelming
I think I was writing this video from the angle of things I found disappointing personally.
I didn’t think for Gimli or Unikitty because I rarely use them and haven’t really dived into their source material too much, whereas something like Bart or ET really annoyed me because I thought they’re either not a great fit for the game or they could’ve been done better!
@@GoblinBricks yeah no one really use unikitty as much as me, let alone not even remotely close haha. Surprised you never saw lego movie either. Also, Next time you play dimensions, find the nearest small and big puzzle you see, have unikitty be small, take her under the glass cube and have her hold it. youll know what i mean when shes buggy.
Now you mention disappointing, I do find the ghostbusters OG a bit disappointing. leaving aside the fact abby yates made peter venkman irrelavent, you need to use a vehicle tag to catch ghosts with venkman. If you dont have that, peter is essentially worthless and 3 abilities short which can be frustrating for people who often lose their stuff or have little room to keep their things
That one person from Adventure Time I forget the name of from the Jake pack
LUMPY SPACE PRINCESS
@@GoblinBricks thank you
Okay but I think that acu trooper is so dumb it works its way back to being endearing to me
I kinda get what you mean
Definitely agree with Et like the adventure world and the minifig but the character himself is pretty bad especially because he can’t even really fight I also agree that the auc trooper is definitely the most pointless character
id say green arrow is the worst character, he only has 4 abilitys, 2 of witch come with the starter pack anyways, target is held by about a dozen diffrent characters, and you if you need pole vault, you can get a character like finn for a quarter of the price and get a new hub world, level, and a bunch more abilites, at least with characters like tina and bart, you had a cheaper way of gaining acsess to the hub worlds, and supergirl being effectively free with the lego dimensions pack could be helpful for starting characters, but green arrow brings nothing but voicelines.
another great video! I disagreed with arcade kid at first, but you really gave good points and changed my mind!
Everyone is entitled to an opinion! Thank you for watching and I will hopefully see you next time!
honestly this video is all news to me cuz i got the game in 2017, only ever bought a few packs but im doing the nft thing where u get all the other characters with NFT cards. If you dont have the packs, i would recommend it
you forgot Emmet (who can only drill and masterbuild) and ESPECIALLY bad cop (his voicelines are just random grunts and voicelines from the movie)
Actually I know at least here in America I got green arrow because it was part of a deal GameStop was doing for Black Friday. It was something on the lines buy stuff and you can get this as well.
That's much better than how it was handled here. I worked for a video game chain in the UK and we had strict instructions to only give it out with Starter Packs.
I think E.T is great,i would have put bad cop on the list because he is so forgettable
I mean that’s fair, consider making a video about your own list! I’d watch it!
3:46 you forgot Jey, the electric tornado.
I know, I goofed :(
As a Lego Games expert, do you think it would sell well if TT Games made one of their Lego Games based on one of Lego's original properties, rather than a liscenced theme?
(For examle, a Lego Pirates, Space or Castle videogame, which would have characters and vehicles from the toyline, but the gameplay would be similar to the Lego games we know.)
Hey - I'm by no means an expert on LEGO games, but I would point you in the direction of LEGO City Undercover. It didn't sell well initially because of the Wii U and 3DS at the time, but once it came to other consoles more people have found it and there's a really strong love for it on the internet nowadays!
@@GoblinBricks Oh yeah, I have fond memories of that! I even bought the set that Chase McCain came in back in the day, and unlocked the secret level with the code!
Lego dimensions is my favorite Lego game and I am thinking of creating a port of the game for pc so the FULL GAME can be preserved forever and more easy to play and find and it’s free and it ads new content and fixes things wrong with the game but still keeping all the content from the game b it its just a idea I had
Good luck with that, the folks at the TTGames modding Discord are trying their best
The fact we didn't get green lanturn despite having to use his symbol dozens of times in the game is bs
The fact we never got flash though stupid mission impossible could turn into him run on a treadmill to get a minikit was even a bigger load of bull dookie
Jay also has electric!
Doesn’t Jay have electricity too?
Yeah I goofed on that one
Yup, I'll absolutely go with the characters you picked. Great video.
Additionally I would also add Marty McFly to the list. I don't like that choice, because I actually adore Back to the Future, the content of it here and the Level Pack (despite it's short length compared to others). However Marty can literally do nothin besides shattering sonic glass and dancin around (which is unfortunately only a nice gimmick and no real ability).
And that one ability is not even special, like, you can use plenty of other characters, who are far mor useful. In my case I often used Laval, The Doctor or Slimer.
Quite a shame for a character, who is voiced by the legend Michael J. Fox himself (or his regular voice actor in the dubbed version).
And probably Eris from Chima, Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, Gimli and the purple princess from Adventure Time, whose name I forgot, are on an equal level to me. At least they have more than good old Marty. And the vehicle of Eris was quite useful to complete races.
I always thought Hermione was one of the worst characters, tbh. For being one of the game's last characters, she has the same, if not less abilities than Harry or Voldemort, so there's not really any point in playing her when the other Wizarding world characters can do so much more.
I would agree with you if Tina wasn’t in the game. I feel like Harry Ron and Hermione not being in the game together was crazy, even if they’re similar it’s almost expected in a way…
Honestly they should’ve binned off Voldemort and had Hagrid or Dumbledore IMO
I’m not sure if you remember me from your live stream but anyway noice video
I do remember you! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend!
@ hope you are also having a awesome weekend
The greedy practised aside I much prefer playing as super girl then superman because her combos are way faster and more fun
Everyone has a preference!
Hey I'm starting to try get into lego dimensions again and I just bought a xbox 360 version of the game but I'm planning on using the xbox series x to play the game do you think I'll still be able to play all the levels and worlds? I have the digital content already installed
You won’t be able to use the disc or toy pad from 360 on the Series X, you will need the Xbox One version of the game.
If you’ve claimed the DLC you should be fine!
3:44 Isn’t Jay also able to use electricity?
Yeah, I made a mistake there!
now do the hottest. (jk)
Homer, Gandalf, Gimli, Sonic & B.A Baracus
@@GoblinBricks unikitty
I also hate Gamer Kid, but not because of his abilities.
It's became everything he says is some dated "gamer slang." He's so painful to listen to.
epic win
3:47 Can’t Jay also use electricity?
Yep I made an error there lol
For some reason I despise 0:27 - 1:46
D'oh!

I can't believe [insert character here] was done so dirty! [pronoun] should've had so many more abilities like [ability] and [thing that's not even in the game]! I especially can't believe [pronoun] had [pretty good vehicle] as a vehicle and not [random obscure thing that appeared once], such a shame, [pronoun] could've been so great 😔
Pronoun was such a good franchise
this list is bit meh, i think one think you failed to take a look is actually at content provided. Since most characters are behind massive paywall, i think what characters provide value wise should be also a big factor. I think characters like Bart are even worse because it doesn't give you any abilities that are required to 100% the game and is a waste since if you trying to complete the game, you will have homer who opens the simpsons world anyway
I mean I talked openly about the value of Arrow and Supergirl
Hahaha gamer kid is a top 3 for me. 😂
Do you only own 3 characters by any chance
@ No 😅 but he was my first and i love going through all the different arcade levels.
love the vids
Thank you for watching!

ACU is the worst by far. Should of been replaced with Claire.
Dat's what i'm sayin!
