Death of Lego Dimensions
Cordova, TN; November 20, in the year of our Lord
2017--Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in
covering the family friendly video games is chiming the death
bell for Lego Dimensions. We are really sad to see Lego
Dimensions die off. It is shutting down one year early. How do
we know for sure that Lego Dimensions is dying off? Warner Bros
Interactive tweeted confirmation found
here. We find it very sad here at Family Friendly Gaming. We
had a lot of fun playing Lego Dimensions. We even considered
doing some videos of that game. Sadly it will die off now.
I know there were issues, bugs, and problems with Lego
Dimensions. The prices of Lego Dimensions were way too high.
Constant massively huge downloads to the game made it way too
large. The character plus vehicle data as in the game and not on
the toys. We had Lego Dimensions crash on us multiple times. We
had to back up the save from Lego Dimensions since one of those
crashed deleted our game save and we lost a lot of hours of
progress. Lego Dimensions crashed on us multiple times when we
tried a plethora of different things. Missions within Lego
Dimensions would not work right, or things on the map would be
inaccurate. Having to buy characters with vehicles was wasteful.
Yes we had our issues with Lego Dimensions. So you might think
we would be happy it is dying off. In reality we are not. We
will miss it now that it is gone.
The reality is Lego Dimensions is dying off. The entire toy to
video game genre is on the verge of a complete and total
collapse. Disney Infinity has died off, and Skylanders has taken
at least one year off in 2017. Amiibos are also dwindling in
terms of releases. Is the toy to video game genre ending? Will
we ever see it return? What caused this collapse? Too many toy
to video game products? Is it consumer fatigue? Will Lego
Dimensions ever come back? I do not know. I hope at some point a
more stable Lego Dimensions will return to the video game
industry. Until that time we will turn our attention to
Skylanders. We might even finish off some Lego Dimensions
reviews if we have the time. Expect to find Lego Dimensions go
on deep sales between now and Christmas. Maybe even beyond.
God bless,
