- Howdy! Why has every Lego online game failed so far? MMORPG or Minecraft clone, they all seem to have the same fate. Let's investigate them together :)

I guess the whole "build anything you want" thing has a double edge sword to it.
Depends, did many people build Mr Pecker and his conjoined at the stem twin?
Yep
People are going to build what they want, but I don’t recall Minecraft being overrun with phallic builds. IMO TLG needs to scrap the idea that only kids will play their games. Target an older audience, stop animating gummy minifigs, no over arching stories and campaigns, and make a slightly moderated p2p style multiplayer and let’s build already. Here’s my work-in-progress attempt czcams.com/video/poDl-Wybfug/video.html
It hurts more when it's a kids game. Games like warcraft don't have to make it fun or even understandable to the kiddy winks. Heck even I can't tell what the hell is going on and I'm a teenager lol.
"it was a good way to see others creativity"
Oh I knew just what that creativity meant. It's like George Lopez said in Sharkboy and Lavagirl. For every one person who dreams up the light bulb, someone dreams up a big ol schlonger
Say what?
he said what?
I had no idea these games existed. I only played LEGO Star Wars and Batman growing up.
I played Lego batman 2 Lego Hobbits and Lego marvel superheros
I played lego jurrasic world and marvel superheros on ps3
Good times
Oh boy are you in for a treat, Tt Games has made dozens of them
Only batman
Same but I played some other Lego Games like Indiana Jones Series.
Man I loved Lego Dimensions. It was already a pretty good idea, but given just how big a part Doctor Who played, (I mean it got a whole level in the campaign, a whole level pack and world, a butt tone of Easter Eggs, a comeback at the end of the campaign and the Doctor was even the last face you see in the story, no doubt helped by the fact that they had a huge amount of voice actors from the show helping out like Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Michelle Gomez, Julian Bleach and Dalek voice actor himself Nicholas Briggs) it made the game totally worth it for me
bruh I was gonna post this
i loved it too but i couldnt keept track of all the lego pieces and in the end i lost dimension pads and gave up
Lego dimensions should have gotten a mario pack
I loved that!! I wish they added more updates before they "cancelled" it, I don't even own an Xbox 360 now anyways
I always played lego dimensions and always bought the packs, sadly i lost some of the figures over the years. I still have the portal itself, the game and batman, wyldestyle etc i lost the JW pack, fantastic beasts, and sonic pack. I think i even lost the base itself for the figures, but i will never forget how i would always get stuck in the JW pack and glitch myself into more trouble lol 12yr old me was extremely stupid coz i made that mistake 3 times!

I love listening to Strider's voice.
Same his voice is so smoothing
me too i want him to read the bible
Yeah same
Mmmmm same
Same.
I've gotten a lot of Lego Dimensions figures over the years, and I actually do hope to find more in the future. I did once manage to find a Joker/Harley Quinn and Gamer Kid set at a flea market for cheap, though!
If they ever do a sequel, though, they should probably do a more traditional Lego Game, as it would be more likely to succeed
Lucky you. Gamer Kid is the only level pack I'm missing XD And yeah, I do hope for a sequel as well. Whiel without a platform and all the stuff, they still should include at least a lord vortex figure as the original planned
In my opinion Lego Dimensions is the best Lego game ever made. I am still playing it almost every day and I am trying to get a pack of every franchise.
@@drstof9341 despite it flaws I actually have to somewhat agree. It's certainly the lego game I'm replaying the most
@@drstof9341 Same, though I haven't played in some time. I usually get back on whenever I buy a new pack. Right now, I'm looking for Kai, Cole, and Zane's sets, along with Buttercup's!
@@ssbhawk7309 I am looking for the scooby doo team pack and the beetlejuice fun pack and I just bought the portal 2 level pack.
I really liked playing Lego Dimensions. I still have a ton of the characters and the portal and disc, but I can't really play it on my XBox One.
Same! Execpt I can play it on PS3 and PS4.
I got the PS4 version with a Simpsons level pack.
Unfortunately, I've hardly touched it. I'm kind of regretting that now.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy I could take that Simpsons pad and figure if ya don’t need it
I stopped playing after my Marty McFly figure stopped working, basically every time I tried to play as him it wouldn't load in.
I played it on my wiiu with my mom. It was fun but as soon as we finished the main story there wasn't much else to do since you have to buy the figures to keep playing. After that we mostly knocked each other around the game world and competed to see who could get more bits.
I guess you can say the police used “excessive phalic force.” XD
bro we know its corny
Technically lego dimensions isn't online.
Good lego Sonic thumbnail.
You have a point
@Tyler Holderman cause the data wasn’t pre installed with the disc and updating requires to have internet connection to their servers
Making a Year 2 update was a dumb idea. LEGO Dimensions is hogging most of my Wii U's memory! They should have put the Year 2 stuff on a new game with a disc so that it doesn't take a whole bunch of gigabytes of updates. There's no room to download all those Year 2 story packs, so it's impossible to 100% complete the game! Like why couldn't they have done what Disney Infinity did with the 2.0 and 3.0 Edition discs and have all the characters from 1.0 compatible? Why did they make an update with a bunch of new campaigns and a battle arena and not account for the Wii U's storage?
I know it’s not even close to an online game
The TT Games licensed LEGO game series dropped online co-op after LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. What makes LEGO Dimensions an online game? The updates that every game has nowadays?
The early bird gets the worm. We're the early birds.
It's a shame that the majority of these didn't take off. I would've loved to see these succeed. Especially Dimensions, as it seems like the perfect LEGO game. Being able to play with an amazing amount of characters from various properties sounds hecking fantastic. On the other hand though, the figures themselves were WAY too expensive
Yeah, same reason Disney infinity was also a bust.
Nowadays you can find em surprisingly cheap, the infinity ones anyway, never really got into Dimensions because it required you to buy so many characters in order to 100% complete the game.
Only ones I owned were the starters and Superman, before I gave it to my cousins since I lost interest.
Unfortunately, Dimensions had a great concept on paper, but got corrupted by its Toys-To-Life mechanic.
@@liamwhittaker8691 I honestly think that could work decently well. It's just a shame that it's execution left a lot to be desired. It worked well for Skylanders, and I think Disney Infinity also did a decent job at it, but this just wasn't it
I think if all these games had more advertising most of them would've stuck around but most people just didn't hear of them
I heard of most of them, once, which isn't a good sign..!
My brother bought me Lego Dimensions as a gift while he was going through hard times. He wanted me to experience the fun he had with his copy. We played it together start to finish twice and it was so fun. The best packs are Sonic and Portal 2, two of my favourite videogame franchises. Thanks Mike for letting me enjoy this experience with you!
Oh and the game was only around £20 because the game had been out for years, and the pack was preowned but unopened. He traded his PS3 and PS4 games for it because he couldn't use them anymore.
_"Bricking around at the speed of sound!"_
_"Wait, where did you just go? Come back and play our game!"_

_”No!”_
Imagine having to make an online police force with actual people just cause people kept making *Shlongs*
yeah but also think that there are young kids on there sooo that's probably why. I mean imagine a 5 year old kid who does not know what it is asks his parents what it is then the company would get in trouble because of that
I grew up with LEGO and I remember playing LEGO Star War game on the Nintendo Wii
Same
That was my entire childhood.
I remember playing it on Xbox 360

OMG SAME!!!
As someone who would gladly take the The Lego Movie duology over The Emoji Movie any day, I swear Lego is closer to something to grow up with than emojis (which I don’t actually hate, in fact, I use them sometimes, but I’m not a fan of either, they just exist at best).
I remember when Legends of Chima when it first came out. The Lego Ninjago series on CN was supposed to end and chima would take its place. But then Lego didn’t want to give up a very successful franchise so they greenlit more episodes. As a result chima was ignored and completely forgotten by many. This may add to why the legends of chima game failed.
It's probably a figurative long shot - but does a fan-hosted online server for the _LEGO Legends of CHIMA Online_ video game exist *_*ANYWHERE*_* on the Internet (just like there is some fan-hosted one for the _LEGO Universe_ online video game), even if it is only found on the Dark Web/Deep Web *_(yes,_* I am *_*that*_* desperate here!)??? I missed the opportunity to play _LEGO Legends of CHIMA Online_ when the original servers that were hosted by WB Games Montréal Inc. and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment were still up and running there, as I didn't have Internet in my own home at the time; but I *_really, REALLY,_*_ _*_*REALLY*_* want to play this online video game *_*SO*_*_ _*_BADLY_* there, as I'm a *_*HUGE*_* LEGO Legends of CHIMA fan and like playing video games!!!!! 😖😖😖😖😖😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😩😩😩😩😩

To this day, Lego has no interest in listening to the fans who petition to bring back Lego Universe
Lego worlds could be Lego Universe but better. ANd they failed it.
True, but as Strider said, the game still lives in some capacity.
Yeah
You can still play lego universe if you have a pc
@@shadowlessfigure7649 How
Damn... I forgot how much I loved Lego Universe all of those years ago. It was probably the most fun I ever had playing a Lego game. Exploring all of the things people made and the world in general will never leave my head again.
Ah the Mr Gold craze of 2013, even I thought I had a chance of finding him. Boy was I wrong, all the boxes I came across were already searched, you could easily tell if someone went through them searching for him. And online he goes for a crazy price tag

One of the other issues with lego universe is that Premium was locked to America only. you had to use VPNs to buy [premium outside the USA
Lego universe footage with the username ThisGuyHasNoName , clever.
I remember first hearing about how Valve helped work with LEGO Dimensions and I was excited, thinking we'd get LEGO Half-Life, Portal, maybe even LEGO Team Fortress 2, but, it ended up just being Portal. Still one of my favorite LEGO products to date though!
Also phantom strider here is a video suggest idea: top 10 violent cartoon villains.

"Lego Dimensions: You're gonna need a bigger imagination!"
Apparently, my imagination has always been bigger than Dimensions...
Seeing lego universe almost made me cry, its the only game I've ever been so nostalgic about, thank God dlu is trying to bring it back with a kind of server emulator that they can run the original code on
Lego Dimensions is a pretty good game, much better than the Lego Movie Game!
true.
My game for some reason did not work so I never get to play it
@@thebigm8052 i heard with the WiiU version, Year 2 updates never work on that! Which is pretty shitty, but otherwise I still like Lego Dimensions.
Wil Bourke it was on ps4
@@thebigm8052 As I know, the Playstation and Xbox designs was first designed on Xbox 360 and PS3, later transformed into PS4 and Xbox One and because of capability and coding issues, there could have some problems on the Xbox One edition while Xbox 360 didnt, maybe the same thing also had for PS4 and PS3, I played the game at Xbox 360 so not sure about that, sorry for my English its not really well.
I have so many fond memories of playing Dimensions, and its still one of my favorite games to play (totally not because of the Portal levels dbksbs)
I still remember Legends of Chima Online and it being fun. I thought that the combat style of clicking everywhere was similar to Club Penguin of all things because I never knew what Dungeon Crawlers were. Being able to create your own loadout and unique character got me invested in the game, and I was pretty disappointed when it eventually shutdown. I have a feeling though that, if it didn't shut down because of low revenue, it would've been shut down anyway when the Chima line as a whole, so including the cartoon and Lego sets, they would've probably shut down Chima Online then to keep everything in line.
What killed Lego Universe you may ask??
DONGS!!!
peckers
I was really bummed out that LEGO dimensions got canned. It was one of my favorite LEGO games of all time. At least the sets for the game are still available online.
I feel the same way with the _LEGO Legends of CHIMA Online_ video game. 😞😞😞
I still
Play lego dimensions
Sees Homer Simpson: Guess I wont be eating lunch for another 20 minutes
I remember playing Lego Dimensions in 4th and 5th grade and it was such a fun experience. I think the game drastically failed when the second wave of figures came out. Also the figurative pay wall ruined the game as well.
Man, the failure of Lego Universe and Lego Dimensions still hurts, especially since I never got to play them(If only Dimensions wasn't so damn expensive.)
Side note: I appreciate the use of Yo-kai Watch music in the Universe segment
I was able to play dimensions, it was extremely expensive for characters/packs and the portal/game itself. My pack collection was extremely small lol which was why i never finished the game
Lego Universe was the game that make me run home from school and start playing it for hours. I never got far but I loved it
Lego Dimensions is still one of my favorite Lego Games. It was so imaginative, so well written, and so much fun to play!
Fun fact: there was originally going to be a Steven Universe pack
There were also plans for a Thomas & Friends pack omg that would have been the best thing ever
@@plaina3806 there are actually duplo Thomas set
@@IrrationalCritic72 yeh they were fun too bad they stop making them also they were planning like actually lego sets not duplo

I loved Dimensions, the fact you could be questing with Batman, Homer and The Doctor in Middle Earth was mind blowing. And the interactions between the characters depending who you had active.
I loved Lego Universe, It was such a well built game and so much adventure but after the shutdown I ended up playing Lego Chima and that was also an amazing game then that was shutdown and finally I played Lego Minifigures, and it was an alright game but there was too many bundles then that shutdown. So currently the only lego game im currently playing is Lego Legacy(Heroes Unboxed).
Its been revived so you can play lego universe again, albeit it will take a whole lot of time to setup properly
@@ekremslayer3389 Yeahhh - Already set up 2 month ago - Remade Lego Universe has everything there
@@thesilentone8401 I'm literally going through a 50 min tutorial to set it up because although darkflame did wonders for the game they expect people who want to play to have significant coding knowledge and stuff
@@ekremslayer3389 People have made private servers - making your own server is too long and theres plenty of private servers to join and it only takes to 2 min to join these private servers - I can send a discord server link for the Lego Universe private server and they will help you set it up

LEGO Dimensions was never an online game.
Whenever I played lego games or with lego, I didnt have a dang clue what to make, it was just hard to create something without messing up, all of it...
The people who dislike this probably went bankrupt trying to make these games. Sike. Not that at all.
I don’t care what anybody says, LEGO dimensions is by far (in my opinion) THE BEST LEGO game. Despite having to pay for the characters, it just felt so good to be coming home with a brand new box of characters and items/vehicles to set up and play. And for me the novelty never wears off! I can still look at all the amazing exclusive mini figs and builds and think, “damn that’s cool” I mean we got freaking Portal, A-team, knight rider, powderpuff girls, SONIC THE GODAMN HEDGEHOG, adventure time, Ghostbuster, BEETLEJUICE! (one of my favourites in LEGO form and is not to mention a bit mature for a LEGO game and figure) and so many more franchises that we could’ve used to only hope for... it’s just a shame that they didn't do more with these cool licences. Also if it had continued we Would’ve got many dreamworks licences such as shrek, how to train your dragon and captain underpants (my childhood hero). To be honest if I had the chance I would 100% bring LEGO dimensions back and buy literally every single one.
I absolutly agree, Lego Dimensions is also my favorite Lego game.
Lego Dimensions is the only reason I still play my Xbox 360
I'm trying to find all of the game chips so I can play mine I again. Any recommendations where I can find the level packs, character packs, and fun packs online and physically
@@BurntTM well I guess it mainly depends on where you live, most places you should be able to get it off amazon, ebay or online shopping sites of sorts. If you're an aussie like myself, then JB-HI-FI is a great place to start, they still sell some of the skylanders and the shops I've been to have had some packs such as buttercup from P.P.G and the Goonies level pack. I should probably try to pick those ones up for myself, but once again JB-HI-FI is good, Big W is also a great place to check, I remember they had the sonic level pack for quite a while after dimensions went out of style (the second I went to buy it, it got sold though). But if you're from another country, then I'm unsure if you have those types of stores, so i guess online shopping is your best bet, but it's always good to check stores that you know have had them in the past. I wish you the best of luck in finding them. I just wish they hadn't discontinued LEGO Dimensions, It's a shame that all of those future packs just went to waste.
@@MREEELEEE Thanks for the information!
Glad to see you back Strider! For next list, maybe you can do one on the best/worst modern American Dad episodes?
Love your videos man! Never stop!
So you're telling me that Lego universe was cancelled because people were making Lego 🅱️enises?
Yes.
I got seriously invested in Minifigures Online and was heartbroken when it shut down
It’s been a long time playing on LEGO Dimensions. I really enjoyed having the Doctor who, Ghostbusters and the BTFF sets.
My biggest gripe is the the LEGO gameplay not measuring up to my expectations. I wanted to do more in re-enacting scenes from Ghostbusters and BTTF.
The Doctor Who segments though was wonderful with the ability to go through 3 different time zones and visiting various locals from recent Doctor Who memory.
Lego Minifigures was so much fun to play when it was free in their beta, but as soon as the game released to be pay-to-play only, you know no one wanted to do that. I'm honestly surprised it lasted more than a year (June 2015 when it went pay-to-play, September 2016 when it shut down).
So thats what happened huh, i honestly dont remember it much but i do remember me buying it and it shutting down soon after, the free version was good

"PhantomStrider's ideas for top lists have no end..."
I used to play LEGO Universe with my dad and I loved it! I was so sad when it got ended, I have so many good memories with that game. I had no idea why it was getting taken down because I was in elementary school but looking at it now I guess they made the best decision, doesn’t mean I won’t miss it.
The lego universe theme is a hit of nostalgia
I think lego games were a good idea in mind, but they didn’t do that well in the real world.
Some actually did well. For example the Ninjago one.

Sometimes, when I need cheering up, I put on the Lego Universe theme song. One time, when I was visiting a Lego theme park several years later, I realised they'd re-used the theme song as (one of) the musical pieces they'd have at the parks opening plaza. It was like a stab in the heart of nostalgia. It's a true shame what happened to it. I can't in good faith say it was some 10/10, game of the century masterpiece, but it definitely didn't deserve its fate. It was a damn good game.
Haven't seen your videos on my feed in months. Missed ya
I’m early so I gotta say something funny...ummm
*step lego*
I forgot how deep the Lego Universe lore was.
Strider, thank you for producing videos. A teacher at my school passed away yesterday and your videos are helping me take my mind off of what happened at school today
Lego Dimensions was my all time FAVORITE Lego themed video game. The idea of pretty much having different franchises join forces, is AWESOME!!!
Can I get an F for LEGO Nexus?
Oh god, I forgot about that show for like 2 - 3 years
Dang time flies fast
Strider!!!!! What's up my friend 😂 I love lego man. My favorite has got to be lego DC villains. So when is your best cartoons of all time list coming out dude? I'd love to know your opinion on which is better, Steven Universe, Invader Zim, or Star atfoe I bet those honorable mentions will be jam packed, but no matter what you pick, I'm with you man. Take care my dude 😘
I remember that in Lego worlds I literally can’t make any more save files or play my sandbox save file by the time my sandbox save file broke, I’m limited to my story mode save and that’s it.
The Legends of Chima cartoon was actually pretty good, I'd recommend checking it out whenever you can.
You can watch it on various video streaming websites like KimCartoon.
@@StevenVillman Lmao I watched it on some anime website of all places. Wikipedia mentions that there supposedly is a movie in the works, but who knows if it's true, let alone if it's ever gonna make it and not get canceled.
The thumbnail has changed like 5 times lol
I still have my lego dimensions stuff and collect some more from time to time, even with it flaws I enjoy the game a lot. But yeah, it's quiet a shame it stoped production, specially considering there was more to come, like more parts to the main story and a lord vortex figure (the main villain). Look at this guy. he would have made an awesome figure.
Kinda wish they would make at least a sequel to it to finish the story. Just without the whole platform thing.
Yea we were also gonna get fucking Minecraft in Dimensions. It’s a shame we didn’t :(
There's also the fact that since _Lego Universe_ was the first foray by LEGO into the MMO Market, they had their expectations set too high, thinking that they would be getting some *Immediate Returns* on their investments like they had done in the past with TT Games titles. However, MMOs are more of a *Slow Burn* when it comes to making money, with the process being akin to leveling up a Magikarp into a Gyarados. Just look at _World of Warcraft:_ nearly 20 years later and it's coming back strong with its' newest expansion Dragonflight, along with incorporating new features and gameplay options that weren't available when the game was originally made. Ultimately, what did _Lego Universe_ in was the companys' own *Impatience.*
Lego Universe 😭
I have great memories of playing it in 2011. Can't believe it's been almost 8 years since it shut down

Lego universe was my CHILDHOOD man. Memory's when THAT sound track hits hits HARD.
I love LEGO Dimensions. And I think that they should make a remake that isn’t a toys-to-life game.
I remember LEGO Chima. i even found a card from lego chima in my house, i even had downloaded episodes on my television when i was young.
dude i loved the lego minifigures online game so much, i was so sad when they shut it down. thank you for reminding me of this lol
Lego chima online is what I played alot in and did leave on good note without paying with cash before knowing of goes discontinued notice and shut down.
Is there a fan-hosted server for the _LEGO Legends of CHIMA Online_ video game that you know of, there??? I'm *_*really*_* desperate to play it, as I didn't get a chance to do so (no Internet at home at the time) when the original servers were up on the Internet.
The fact that there's enough abandoned Lego games to make a top five list tells a lot. Never forget Lego Universe.
I grew up on both Skylanders and LEGO Dimensions, and you better believe that those figurines and sets were in a massive pile every year at my birthday or Christmas, and I enjoyed both Toys-to-Life games thoroughly. In fact, I still play both games today. I just wish both franchises would have been able to keep the ball rolling. Since the fourth game, Trap Team, Skylanders had a large, consistent cast of diverse characters to use and fight against, and by the last Skylanders game, we even had crossovers from Nintendo and Crash Bandicoot. In terms of LEGO Dimensions, it seems they could have just kept adding more content as they went, adding more universes in new “waves,” as if the heroes found more shards of Vorton. But, maybe this is how things should be. You were fun while it lasted, Toys to Life. You can rest easy.
Let's see what happens. If innovative titles like *Jump Ultimate Stars* can give their rivals (ie Street Fighter, Smash Bros) some competiton, perhaps the next single-player saga or MMO will learn from the mistakes of its predecessors and deliver experiences that will stand the test of time (with or without 'dongles').
Hope springs eternal.
The shutdown reason for Lego Universe is probably the most ridiculous I have ever heard.
I used to want to play Lego universe so badly as a kid but I didn't have a working computer. Glad to see its still alive in a way.
And a small note, the camera style you talked about in the Minifigures game is specifically isometric, where it's above at a directly diagonal angle.
the lego worlds title screen music is amazing, personally its on my top5 soundtracks from the last decade.
I never played it online but I really like screwing around with all the vehicles
