Huh.  Wonder why they're not showing me the price on steam, just on getgames and green man.

Hrm not sure.  Maybe it only will show it if its had at least one sale?  I dunno.

[neotemplar]

Is there any site that tracks Steam's prices over time?

I'm curious if the LEGO games ever go on sale, or if US$20 is the cheapest they ever get.

I want LEGO Harry Potter 2 (yeah, yeah, laugh it up) and I was all ready to snag it during the summer sale.  I checked every day, nearly.  But it never came up.

hahahahahahahahahaha... oh wait I own this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/211340/

(Magical Diary)

I have the demo of it.

I recommend grabbing the demo of Magical Diary before you buy it.

It's no joke when I say it's marketed for young girls. Might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Heheheh.... Well. I actually enjoyed that Lego Star Wars, though. Are the Harry Potter games similar?

[Enzo]

Lego Star Wars was pretty awesome. Presumably, if you're as big a fan of Harry Potter as I am of Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter is probably an awesome game.

Oh shit I still need Lego Batman.

Lego Anything is made of pure win. I routinely pass the toy department at work and drool at the freaking awesome Legos kids get nowadays. Makes me wish I were a kid and had money.

If you are merely not a kid but have money, why not buy it anyway?

The maximum recommended age on those things is made of lies.

Especially when you consider how expensive the huge ones are.

Yes and no... it's hard to say the difference.  The core gameplay is the same, but the setting is quite different.  Let's see.

LHP1 has a huge hub world, unlike LSW1 or LSW2.  The hub world has tons of things to do, unlike LSW3.  (I didn't like the LSW3 hubs.)

There's a lot less enemies and a lot more puzzle solving.  Enemies mostly don't shoot at you, they hurt you on contact.

There's a bunch of abilities to use (i.e. spells), but you end up just using the Blast spell and the Levitate spell most the time, and using the others on special occasions.

There's nothing like LSW3's (utterly brilliant) RTS levels or spaceflight levels.

The cutscenes are even longer than LSW3's, and unskippable.  They try to tell the story, but it just doesn't work.  If you don't know the books, you'll be confused and bored by the minifigs grunting at each other.  There were times I literally walked away from the computer for a few minutes because I'd already seen a cutscene.

Overall, I enjoyed LSW1 enough that I 100% completed it, but I wouldn't play through it again.  Maybe in a few years.

There's a demo if you want to check it out.

Funny, I look at all of the new artsy pieces and I think 'why don't they still make the simple 2x4 blocks anymore?'

They do. You can purchase as many as you want.

[Aklyon]

They do too make the simple blocks. You just have to look a bit harder to find them.

Edit: NXT and other similar parts.

I got it because no fan group or company has translated any of the Princess maker games except 2.

Oh sure, Princess Maker sounds lame or like its for teen girls.  Well you'd think that until you got the ending where the girl you raised murders Satan and assumes the throne of hell.  Honestly that was a truly dwarfy ending.  (That game she also got arrested for highway robbery, killed the god of war, and won several cooking competitions.)

I'm still pissed they don't export these.

Oh, trust me. Money's the only thing stopping me from buying every single Lego set ever.

Twice.

Just looking through the stuff on Lego's website makes me want to buy twenty of everything. Shame they don't have more variety, like the cloaks, weapons, and heads that come with certain sets. Most of that stuff would be perfect for D&D, too.
