virtual legos for casual gaming little kids

/thread

It is hard for me to be an advocate for the game, since I haven't played it for years. But is this really necessary to bring the tired topic of casual gaming for kids as a sign of game's disapproval? Oh well, maybe you weren't serious :D

 

Graphics, retro style for the sake of nostaligia feel as often praticed by indies, virtual legos -- are all defintions that're not even remotely describe the attractive aspect of the game for those who get it. Long story short -- ability to play it by millions ways possible.

I never said it was a sign of the games disapproval, nor did I say it was a bad thing. When I was a kid i fucking loved legos. Honestly the reason why so many people(especially young kids) love it, and even why I love it is because it is so much like legos but instead of so much of it taking place in just the imagination much of it takes place on the actual screen. Legos are still hugely popular for a reason loved by both adults but arguably by a majority of young kids(which again is not a bad thing). My comment was in no way a rip at the game but it is an honest observation of why I feel it is so great.
