8BrickMario Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I think my favorite detail from this game so far is the Wicked Witch's exclusive death animation when you spray her with water. She melts into a black puddle, leaving her hat and broom behind, just like the film. And I enjoy how the maps in the adventure worlds really don't waste much space, since they have tunnel systems and underwater areas, something not done in previous games. Quote

Yeah they really pulled out the stops to make each and every world look immersive basically. And they never feel small when your exploring them and you'll always find little areas that you probably missed on your first visit. I never tire of going around a world I've already been to and admiring the sights that each world offers. Some more than others I suppose just things like the holographic shark in the Back to the Future world to the Yellow Brick Road in the Wizard of Oz world leading you to the Emerald City just all those little things you can recognise from particular franchises is what wows me about the game just the attention to detail basically it's amazing to look at.

8BrickMario Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Indeed. After the disappointments of the LB3 worlds, they really made it feel worth the price with the size, detail, and overall looks of each adventure world. Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I love it how once you beat the main level, you can play as any of the 4 main Ghostbusters. What a stupid idea. The Ghostbusters are all separate characters, not incarnations of Peter Venkman. They should be separate minifigures. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 What a stupid idea. The Ghostbusters are all separate characters, not incarnations of Peter Venkman. They should be separate minifigures. While it would give you a cheaper way to buy them, Fun Packs of the other Ghostbusters would end up being completely redundant gameplay-wise, and they'd be really reaching to come up with more vehicle builds save for the Statue of Liberty. Not to mention, getting all four characters with one NFC base saves money. Quote

Maybe it's not necessarily you change into the other characters but more or less a tag in, tag out sort of system like I said before. Or maybe you can switch to the character you want to play as by changing at the Ghostbusters HQ by walking up to them and then you assume control of said character. Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 While it would give you a cheaper way to buy them, Fun Packs of the other Ghostbusters would end up being completely redundant gameplay-wise That's why you have their abilities related to their personalities. For example, Egon being able to hack. they'd be really reaching to come up with more vehicle builds save for the Statue of Liberty. Just make stuff up. That's what they've done with Slimer's Slime Shooter. Not to mention, getting all four characters with one NFC base saves money. I'd rather spend more and have all four Ghostbusters in the game at once than have them all on one NFC base when there's no reason for them to be. The Doctor is different incarnations, the Ghostbusters are not. Quote

The Doctor is different incarnations, the Ghostbusters are not. Then again we don't know yet HOW we can play as the other Ghostbusters so for all we know they could give us unique abilities for Ray, Egon and Winston but we need more information about that which I can only guess will be revealed as soon as the Level Pack as been released.

mediumsnowman Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Wow. I'm kind of surprised they actually price-matched an OOS item on Amazon. Oh well, I'm not complaining. Can't wait to play the level! Quote

rob-ot5000 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 What a bungled release. Best Buy has them "backordered" as well. What the hell, TLG? Quote
Amset-Rah Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I ended up Site-to-Storing my Ghostbusters pack, and watching Blitzwinger's playthrough of the level, I'm stoked. My Walmart also had a ton of Doc Browns and I think a couple of Cybermen so I'll pick them up too and see if Wally World will price match with Amazon. So I guess there is a happy ending on my end for all of this. And Best Buy too? Really? Quote
mediumsnowman Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 The game has taken 2+ hours to freaking update. I don't know if it's the 360, or my internet connection, or what. I just want to play my Ghostbusters level! Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Gah. I was going to use a $25 Amazon gift card to get the GB Level Pack from Amazon, but it went from $22 back up to $30. Will they put it back on sale soon? Quote

Will they put it back on sale soon? If you go under 'more sellers' amazon still has it for $22, but it won't ship for 3-5 weeks. Quote
mediumsnowman Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Ugh. The 2 1/2 hour update was for Dr. Who/Jurassic World. I don't even have the Jurassic World pack! No matter what I do it won't let me download the Ghostbusters one. I have enough space and everything, but Xbox Live is being screwy. And then I noticed the clip on top of Legolas' arrow launcher had snapped. Not a good day for Dimensions. I'll try again tomorrow Quote

Sorry to hear about that. Better hope I get my charger in the post today. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Well, I have data for every adventure world we've been able to access, so I hope that doesn't happen to me. Soonest I get the packs will be Saturday. I'm rewatching Ghostbusters to get hyped for the level, and I didn't realize the first time that the city's main theme (in the level, at least) plays several times in the film when the Ghostbusters aren't busting.

Funny I did the exact thing only couple of days ago. Huh, minds do think alike as they say. Quote

True. I'd still rather have them as separate NFC minifigures though. Quote
Starscream759 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Guess who's playing the Doctor Who level pack today? Me! Oh sweet glorious me! Charger came today in the post and now I'm making progress. Quote
Amset-Rah Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Got Doc, Cyberman, and Venkman at Walmart today thanks to Site-to-Store. Haven't built any of them yet, but I'm excited to. Quote
Starscream759 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Just to note, I have unlocked the first three Doctors of William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee to play as and as we speak am currently replaying the level from the level pack and looking for Clara. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Clara? She requires the use of a Locate keystone. The DW level is incredibly involved, and anytime you reach a new area, it's a good idea to check the TARDIS console, because new, hidden ones open up as the level progresses. Unlocking Doctors is incredibly easy, just jump off a cliff a few times and you'll have it. Quote

And I have to ask why's Missy putting on a british accent rather than her regular accent when you talk to her for missions? Quote
