The problem with comparing the games is that with Lego games nostalgia will always win out. I'm sure that 99% of the people who watched this played the either Complete Saga or Batman 1 as their first Lego game, hell they were my first games ever. So as much as I think the new games have improved drastically on the formula and are deserving of lots of praise, it's hard to overcome all those pesky memories of playing the OG games on your Xbox and fat TV after school
The old LEGO games that had a menu to choose levels were all goated ( Comp Saga, Batman 1, Indiana Jones 1) Only thing wrong with these games are some of the vehicle levels
The big difference between old and new Lego games is the voice and grunt. I honestly can't tell which one is better for me, I'm still playing the voice but I was born with the grunt Lego games, so I love both of it. I can't even tell which Lego game is my favorite. Btw, anyone feel like Batman 2 have both vibes? I mean, it's the first talking Lego games, but some cut scenes just feel like the grunt one
I'm so glad u brought up the Co-op aspect, I hate the new split screen co-op, I'd rather be stuck with my mate on the same screen just so we don't have to look at half the screen
I think that Lego DC Supervillains has got to be one of the best Lego games. Just think about it, it's got Metropolis, Smallville, Gotham, Arkham, Belle Reeve and even Apokolips. The character roster has anyone you would ever want from the DC universe and the speedsters are so sick. The story isn't horrible (you get to create your own character that interacts with iconic DC universe characters). Also the fact that they were able to get Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy is just so crazy!
Tara Strong as Harley Quinn, Brandon Routh as Shazam, Michael Ironside as Darkseid, Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor, Dee Bradley Baker as DeSaad and Sea King, John Barrowman as Malcolm Merlyn, Tom Kane as Jim Gordon, Michael Rosebaum as the Flash, etc. It had an insane voice cast.
Older games just have that classic feel and such nostalgia, newer ones have insanely good graphics and extra activies like free roam open worlds and side quests, but man 100%ing the older games are a PAIN
I don't think giving the minifigure a voice and creating an open world is a match for lego games. I preferred the older games, they had this unique atmosphere.
New Lego games are pretty cool with their huge worlds and stuff but the old games bring back so much nostalgia and they are amazing. (Lego Star Wars the complete saga, Lego Batman 1 & 2, Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Pirates of the Caribbean)
I think I'm more of a new lego game person, but the choice is quite tough. New LEGO games have the excellent DC Supervillains, and other greats like Batman 2, LOTR, LMSH, and Hobbit. Older ones have such greats as the Harry Potter games, the clone wars, and, of course, Batman. Lego Batman 1 in particular impresses me like few other games, everything about it (except the vehicle missions) are just spot on. The game designers really get Batman in that game, they just got it right (I'm a comic geek in case you didn't guess it haha)
I love the talking in games it makes the ip's seem more iconic because the characters say iconic lines but I like the mumbling because it gives me the vibes that there is a kid playing with lego and they are mumbling sounds the characters would make.
I am from Mexico, and I prefer games with voice lines because those games are dubbed here (not always) and considering that video games almost never have dubbing in Latin American Spanish, except in some cases (in this case, Lego games) it is a detail that I like too much (Sorry if my english isn't perfect aaaaa)
I agree with the newer games drifting away from that original Lego game feeling. But maybe that’s good, because if we never moved on the variety within the games would’ve been bad. And since the new ones are evolving, we are able to go back and get that nostalgia every we start the old games. But I totally agree with newer games not having the same vibe as the old. I mean in Skywalker saga there will be side quests, and so many different planets, each 30 times bigger than the old hub worlds. The old ones are more driven by nostalgia, and the new ones are more advanced and well done.
both new and old lego games have their own unique kind of charm. personally i prefer the newer style of lego games, but the old ones are just so fun to mess around with as well, i feel like i can have fun with both types in different ways, and thats what makes lego games so great
A big con for the old Lego games is the fact there is so little to do my ps4 had to be repaired recently so I started replaying Lego batman 1 on my ps2 and beat the game in two days.
I feel like for, the first point, old wins hands down. Yeah, hearing voices is cool and they work the best with OG stories, but being able to pretty much cohesively tell the stories of these timeless films without a single word of spoken dialog is super fucking commendable. I know what happens in the prequel movies because of the Lego levels more so than actually watching those movies!
Something I don't like about the more recent Lego Games is that they feel too much like your standard Third Person shooters (I am referring to Skywalker Saga and Force Awakens)
As i played lego games, and i played a lot, i just love hub worlds, just running around fighting, and there is so much interactions you can do with the world in lego city. And for me that was also great for coop, because I was playing with my brother, and i loved just test characters or make fights in coop, travel through massive worlds on different vehicles was so cool in new games.
My favorite lego games: Lego marvel 1, lego the lord of the rings, lego the hobbit, lego pirates of the caribbean, lego batman 2 and harry potter years 1-4 and 5-7
One good thing to say about the lego movie game. I remember the game nit having a minimap so me and my brother used to olay hide n seek and try to blend in with the crowd. Which is something you really can't do in other games.
Lego batman 1 was the one that introduced me to the lego games. And while i love dc super villains and other newer games, i cant deny the fact that i have more fun with the older games
I love some of the new LEGO games, and the old games too. And while I haven't played every single LEGO game, I have played a few, and the original LEGO Batman is still to this day, my favorite LEGO game of all time, and it will likely always be.
Old vs. New for me is open world hub vs. non open world. But I get using the mumble vs. voice lines too especially because that's what a lot of fans use when describing the older ones and they wanted it to return so much they added it in Skywalker Saga. To me the biggest thing I miss from the older games were the levels had more to explore. In Complete Saga, Indy or the first Batman there's so many side rooms you can go into to get a minikit and they usually have a fun puzzle to solve while the newer games don't do that anymore. All the minikits are pretty much on the linear path. You may just not have the right character to get it. That would be my biggest wish personally: Having an open world hub world like current games and having bigger, less linear story levels because now I find myself liking the hub world more than the levels. I'd love to love them equally.
Pretty difficult to say. My first thought was definitly the old ones. But then I was thinking about Lord of the Rings and how fun it was to 100% it. Really depends. I 100%ed Lego Star Wars and Indy 1 on regular basis back in the day. Just completed? Just starting a new file and again... I really didn't re100% a newer game except Lego City Undercover. That one is just to brilliant. I did it once on Wii U and once on Switch.
I used to love old lego games when I was a child but now they seem to be boring and tedious for me. I don't know what to do after completing story mode.
my favourite Lego game is Lego pirates of the Caribbean as it was my first Lego game started playing it about 9 years ago and i never get bored from it
Personally prefer the mid-era games, that being Lego Batman 2 - Lego Marvel Avengers/Jurassic World (dunno which came last). Everything that came before is just commonly shrouded in nostalgia while evetything after was too far from the core and most have failed to fully satisfy. Of course, thats just my own opinion. Lego Lord of the Rings, Avengers, Superheroes, Batman 3 and Jurassic World are some of my all time favorite games. Obv Lego Movie id excluded from this generalization
Honestly i prefer the original ones because of how simple they were, im struggling to jump into the skywalker saga because of how complex it is compared to the complete saga
One of my favorite levels of all time would have to be the mission where you break out of arkham asylum as joker and some other villains in lego dc super villains because of the boss fight with monster man oh my God it was like a horror game!!!
in my opinion the character roster department should have gone to the older games since in my opinion, you should add how the character roster looks and how easy it is to navigate and not the quantity of the characters since you are comparing older technology to newer ones so the quantity will deffinetly rise. so yea in that regard i completely disagree but still a decent video
As a lego fan, for me there are no bad games, I mean if there are better than others, but I enjoy playing a lego marvel as well as a lego island, I mean it's lego, and I can create your own character in games like star wars, indiana jones, marvel, dc, jurassic etc etc, it's like being yourself in those games and being part of those universes, the truth is that for both eras they are good, with their ups and downs, but enjoyable, greetings and great video
Best hub world - lord of the rings Best character roster - Marvel superheroes 1 Replayability, is a weird one because it's purely on personal preference. Even then I only replay the story. Lord of the rings, Jurassic world, marvel 1 - happily replay if in the mood. Force awakens, marvel2, batman3 - completed them once, haven't touched them since.
I said this in your community post but I prefer new lego games because the first ever lego game I played was Lego Batman 2. After I played lego Batman 2, I bought every lego game prior to LBM2 ( not including Star Wars 1 and 2 cause of TCS ) then after that, I bought every lego game after LBM2 except the lego movie video games cause I don’t like them. I just really like the new features, I like the voicing, I like the designs, the bigger hub worlds. And I remember how excited I was to play lego Batman 3 since I really loved LBM2. While I do love old lego games, LBM2 has that “nostalgic” feeling for me which obviously leads into the new lego games.
for me i didnt really play the old games that much but the first one i everplayed was lego batman 2 which was the best experience ive had with a video game back then and i remember me and my friend playing co-op (we never 100% the game sadly)
I've loved the LEGO games over the years, a category I would like to add would be the music in the games. I love the music in the games, from Harry Potter, to The Incredibles. Even though I am not a DC fan, I liked the music in LEGO Batman 1. Now for weather I'm a oldie or a newbie for these games, I would have to be a Oldie. I've played a lot of Lego Games over the years; including, LEGO Star Wars II, LEGO Indiana Jones 1 & 2, LEGO Years 1-7 (combining the two games), LEGO Star Wars II, LEGO Marvel Superhero 1 & 2, LEGO Incredibles, & LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. And maybe that's me but I love the oldies and would replay those games any day.
All time favourite? This is a little bit of nostalgia combined with my ever lasting love for the brand but Lego Marvel Superheroes (1) is easily my favourite being the first game for me to get 100% in.
I personally like the voice acting games since Lego Batman 2 was the first Lego game that I played and especially playing them on Spanish since the audio isn’t taken from the movies.
I think I have issues with DC Supervillains strictly because I don’t really care about the character roster or the story. I loved Batman 2, it was probably the most influential Lego game for me, but back then I was excited to play only as Batman, Robin, Superman, green lantern, and the flash. I loved when Lego Marvel expanded because I care a ton about Marvel and being able to experience those characters in Lego is amazing for me. So maybe some people think of Supervillains like I think of Marvel Superheroes and think the Marvel games are mediocre in comparison. (I do take issue with the Supervillains hub world though because it is very convoluted and jumbled while the Marvel ones are on a huge scale but you can get from one place to the next without having to find a tunnel or portal or something.)
I can go either way! I wanna see more awesome LEGO video games like LEGO Adventure Time, LEGO Steven Universe, LEGO Minecraft, LEGO Overwatch, updated LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean and LEGO Jurassic World games with more levels and more content, etc.! I just wanted an updated LEGO Jurassic World game in 2018 and hopefully, we can get one next year in 2022 or maybe in 2023!
I would say that the old games have better levels, for hub world and character customization, the new ones. (although i love the lego star wars 1 hub world because you can make a lot of jedi vs sith fights)
There's just something about the old games that just doesnt hit... I like playing them but usually i only play them once and then i go back to replay TCS for the 84th time
Old games have better level designs and most of them have a bit more levels per game than newer, newer have better open world, old are cuter, newer have more characters per game and have more unique mechanics. But for me, older are a bit better because of better levels
In terms of 2-player combat, I prefer Lego DC Supervillains and Lego Movie 2: because in most other lego games when both players are pressing the attack button together when closed up, neither could effectively hurt each other.
i think the new ones are better in terms of how much work they put in to them, but the old ones are just better, they are more simple and fun and funny, like in the complete saga there are storm troopers in freakin under wear, like come on.
I just dont like the level designs in most of the new games. There often confusing and there is to much going on. (lego batman 3 for example). But Games like Lego Marvel Superheroes and Batman 2 showed us how good open worlds could work in lego games
