/\ I thought the game was extremely overrated but drat if that isn't a really beautiful and well done set Carbohydrates posted:You know, I'm glad Disney changed the name if only because the vitriolic fallout is hilarious. That build looks amazing, of course. Cojawfee posted:Is the name even mentioned anywhere in the movies? I love people getting butthurt over a word being different. I dunno if these were aimed at me but to be clear I wasn't whining about the name change, just referencing it because its funny.

This owns. I’m a huge HZD fan and they really nailed this set imo. I’m digging the vignette style they’re doing with the 18+ sets now too.

Yeah the comiccon or whatever Vader and Luke fight on Cloud City vignette almost seemed like a test for some of these, like the JP set is very much in the same spirit

drat, that looks better than I expected and the price is pretty great too! The Aloy minifig looks great as well. Definitely picking that up!

Definitely breaking my own weird 'no pink minifigs' rule because it has an exception clause in case of giant robots. I haven't played the game at all, but that didn't stop me from buying the Overwatch mechs either. For the record, the rampant employee abuse at Blizzard that was revealed since then overruled the giant robot clause.

refleks posted:Should I buy that game and get hyped for the release of the set? On another note, I have once again provided the seed part for our LUG's monthly build challenge. I selected the fairly obscure x383 Technic connector. Here are a couple builds I've thought of so far to integrate this thing. 1. Expedition boat, with x383 used as the body of the mini sub and the conning tower. There's a small winch inside the cabin that would allow the sub to be raised into and lowered out of the boat (I did not bother rendering or drawing the string, sorry).  2. Steam engine, with x383 as the boiler. Honestly, most of the work on this build went into the train tracks.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say it's an average game that looks pretty but has a very dull and lifeless open world full of ubisoft style map markers telling you where to go rather than encouraging natural exploration, and actively hinders that with very limited proscribed climbing routes full of such exciting gameplay as 'hold up and press jump occasionally' and a story that takes itself a bit too seriously while being told by weirdly animated very sincere characters, along with other tropes of bad open world games such as 'collect 15 badger grundles to upgrade your tertiary weapon's second ammunition pouch by 3' cool setting and robots and the combat is ok but I put about 10 hours into it and haven't been tempted to go back yet Butterfly Valley fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Feb 15, 2022 |

Prophet of Nixon posted:Edit: Cleanup pass done, all the white detail bits are nicer now. Doing structural cleanup now in preparation for instruction stuff, tomorrow. Mini Parisian Restaurant instructions are done and here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-101986/mattking4/parisian-restaurant-mini-modular/#details Next goal sometime in the next day or two is to do revision instructions for the Boutique Hotel, I think I'm gonna make one more pass over it.

Butterfly Valley posted:I'm gonna go against the grain and say it's an average game that looks pretty but has a very dull blooptie beeptie doopie deepy At first glance the set feels a little *too* colorful, in that the tallnecks in the game are mostly gray, but it's got a great Aloy fig and a little Watcher so it's basically everything I could ask for.

I hope the Tallneck set does well so they can make a big Thunderjaw set(Think a robot T-rex with a laser in its mouth, cannons on its jaw, and more guns on its hips). The elephant machine from the new game would work too

Not to turn this into video game chat but HZD really is a slow burn at first. I realize that needing 10+ hours to get rolling is problematic but once all the systems finally click in your brain it’s a blast.

They are really colorful up close and I think the set captures it well. All around the set seems drat near perfect to me. Looks great, fantastic price point. The stand is a really nice touch. Some might be disappointed that it's not full scale but tbh I think that scale works perfectly and I think a $300 horizon set would sell like poo poo.

To be clear it's not like the game sucks for the first ten hours, it just gets way better once it gets rolling. Although I'd say it takes more like 4 hours to get rolling not ten.

Looks like Mando’s N1 is going to be $60 in the US which is $10 cheaper then I expected based on the leaks but I’m probably still going to wait for a sale.

RatHat posted:I hope the Tallneck set does well so they can make a big Thunderjaw set The Tallneck set was already in the rumor pipeline and I don't think there's anything else like it in the near future; will be interesting to see if any other game franchises get this treatment. Something like the Normandy from Mass Effect could be neat, but these things are likely to be either for evergreen franchises or timed to the release of a new game. Having a big monster or recognizable setpiece probably helps. If those big guardian monsters are still in Breath of the Wild 2 that could be a good one.

I think it looks good, but yeah it's a bad deal. I'll grab it towards the end of it's run when it's $40. That price is honestly just ridiculous. At the very least they could have splurged and put a bunch of lacquered silver parts on it instead of using mostly light/dark gray.

In an alternative universe instead of naming it Boba Fett's Starship they went the opposite direction and there's a lego set named Jabba's Sexual Assault Den.

The most interesting part to me was learning the combat, which by the time the expansion came out I discovered I'd completely forgotten and didn't want to relearn just for that amount of content. It has some interesting ideas but definitely a case of empty world ubi map marker itis.

Curious to see if this is the first in a series. The gaming industrie is bigger than movies and music combined and now Lego has created the 'adults' label they can go ham with all the licenses. This is printing money and i'm all here for it.

Well it's not the first gaming set, since it's following Overwatch, Mario, Sonic, and some smaller Dinensions-y stuff like Portal (still love that a Chell minifig exists). I'm positive we'll be seeing more.

A friend of mine really got into the Lego Buildable Flowers recently, her favorite flower however is the tulip and we both agree that set sucks. Did somebody ever MoC better tulips or where do I go about looking for a design?

Looks fine. I'd be more excited about the color if not for the bright light blue Fiat 500. The leaks suggested it would be in a "mint" color, so I kinda had light aqua on my mind.

I get the rename of Slave I and I'm asking this more out of curiosity, but wasn't the idea that it was named Slave I because it was a 'slave' ship to a 'master' ship that controlled it? Like being rooted in computer lexicon (master/slave)? By no means is that question a justification as even if it is rooted on computer shorthand, the terms are still problematic. Is that terminology still used in the tech world?

I think they probably just thought it sounded cool. I’ll always call it the slave 1 but I also get why toy companies don’t want to print it on the box anymore.
