Online Components, Please
Up to this point the LEGO series of games has had a lot going for it. Multiple characters, more universes than you could share a stick at, engaging gameplay geared towards fans of LEGO and newcomers alike, and local multi-player. You know what’s missing from that list? Online multi-player. It’s 2015 and none of the console LEGO games have had online multi-player, and that just isn’t going to cut it when going against the competition.
Every other developer with their hat in the toy game business has allowed for online multi-player, and even other ways to use the internet to increase the fun factor. Whether it’s tackling missions with friends in Skylanders or sharing one of your created worlds in Disney Infinity, the online component provides the games with a sturdy foundation that allows for more fun to be had even when the companies aren’t releasing anything new.
There is a certain joy to be had with online interaction. Meeting new people, discovering creations, or even just putting your own out there and seeing other players from around the world check out and enjoy them. Perhaps LEGO Dimensions could take it a step further past the whole level building or multi-player gameplay. Building custom vehicles like they allow you to do in Resogun or even completely custom structures to share with friends and strangers would really put LEGO Dimensions ahead of the competition. Use the LEGO namesake in order to take sharing creations to the next level will be perfect in getting this game pushed to the forefront.
