User blog:Nealybealy/Why I will be playing the game

First let me say this; after all this waiting, is everyone really going to quit on it? I see absolutely no reason to, unless you're one of the silly people complaining that it isn't exactly like LEGO Universe.

So on to what I wanted to talk about; why I will be playing this game.

1. The graphics look pretty amazing. I'd love to do LU's camera angle, but I think the one Funcom went with is much more fitting for the type of game this is.

2. All these unique abilities and minifigs to collect will allow for much more. I'd love to see the possibilities out there for the abilities and using power bricks to create whatever role you want to play as, and the teams people will create to better combat bosses/fight other players. (That being said, not everyone playing as Fairy)

3. PvP. I can't say it enough. Yes, LU was going to have PvP (and did, very early on, but that was never for live players except that one glitch when Nexus Tower first opened and players killed eachother) but that doesn't really count for much.

4. Less restrictions based on quests. I, personally, felt like I was stuck doing the quests in LU if I wanted to progress, while in this game the quests aren't really forced on you. Sure, LU's quests were easy and could be done in a matter of days, but that doesn't make the problem go away.

5. It's a LEGO MMOG. And it's not Chima Online. Enough said.

Really people, none of us have tried it yet. I know I'm excited, and I don't see why you're all judging something you've never played. A gameplay video during Beta isn't exactly that much to go off of.

(I'm just waiting for someone to yell about customization/building. While yes, LEGO is expected to have building and customization, they don't have to. I think it'll be an interesting change for them.)
