@LtSarge The Complete Saga is probably still the best classic Lego game. The new one’s a modern open world take on the franchise. I’d say go for it but it depends if you’re going to get Skywalker Saga on release or wait.

@nessisonett I don't really find Lego games worth getting on day one, so that's going to be a no. But if Skywalker Saga is an open world game, then The Complete Saga honestly sounds more compelling to me.

@RogerRoger A quick check proves that yes, I do own Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. I remember very very little of it! But then I barely remember the Lord of the Rings one either, my younger brother played it to completion without me, despite us having played Fellowship of the Ring together 😂

@LtSarge I found Lego Pirates of the Caribbean a complete mess. The quality just want there compared to other Lego games at the time. That was a time when it seemed that they were pumping out a Lego game every six months. I even remember reading about bugs and crashes which I am not sure ever got fixed. Unless you are a hardcore Pirates of the Caribbean fan or Lego fan you should skip this one.

Lego Indiana Jones I did enjoy but I am a huge Indy fan in fact I enjoy the Indy films more then the Star Wars so yeah. That being said I found the first one really good while Lego Indiana Jones 2 felt more like a retelling of 1-3 with the 4th movie added in. It's nothing like Lego Star Wars Complete where they took Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 and added a few thing into it. Honestly I think with Lego Indiana Jones 2 they should have just added the 4th movie to the Lego Indiana Jones as DLC rather then bring out Lego Indy 2, but they wanted to bring an Indy game out to capture the hype of the 4th movie. Get Lego Indiana Jones skip Lego Indiana Jones 2.

Other Lego games to look into if you haven't are the Lego Batman games and Lego Marvel/Avengers games. I highly recommend those ones especially if you like DC/Marvel.

@RogerRoger @nessisonett @Tasuki Thanks for your help guys. Based on your comments, I think I'll be avoiding the second Indiana Jones game and Pirates of the Caribbean. I still want to play the first Indiana Jones though because I finished watching the movies a couple of months ago and would love to revisit them in Lego form. So I think I'll at least get the first game. I'll also get Star Wars The Complete Saga since it's so highly regarded.

@RogerRoger I'll be getting Split/Second as well then! Although I'm still unsure if I should get Force Unleashed II because well, I've heard that it's better than the first game and I did enjoy it quite a bit. But we'll see!

@Tasuki Oh definitely, I already have all Lego Batman games and the two Marvel Super Heroes ones. I've played through Batman 2 and Marvel Super Heroes 1, and I'm excited to play the rest of them in the foreseeable future! I've actually been contemplating on starting up the first Lego Batman on 360, so I might do that soon.

I have the Series S I bought from a friend a few months back and looking at Game Pass I don't quite get the hype. It has some great stuff like Psychonauts 1 and 2 and Sunset Overdrive but I find a lot of the games to just be alright or not to my taste. Looking at most of the Game Pass library, it feels very... Xbox. Like most of it basically only really appeals to someone that likes the Xbox brand. It feels we're at the point where loads of people complain if a game isn't "free" thanks to Game Pass, and even if games are free on Game Pass that doesn't always mean they are good. It's not a terrible service but people make it sound like the best thing ever in the world. It sounds too good to be true and I believe over time it will get more expensive and leave the honeymoon phrase everyone is having with it.

@RogerRoger Yeah, the Lego Movie game and Avengers were massive disappointments for us back on the Wii U. Especially considering how much we enjoyed the first Marvel one, it’s still one of the best Marvel games out there.

@RogerRoger I played Lego Jurassic Park on PS4 and enjoyed it. It was one of the better ones. I won't play Lego Lord of the Rings because it's incomplete, and I totally forgot about Lego Incredibles so I can't say on that one.

@Sam_ATLUS @velio84 and just like that, the Great Eye 🌄 momentarily shifts it’s vengeful, penetrating focus away from my locale… cheers guys 🤣

@velio84 it's an obvious but just how I feel, I don't think the service is as good as people are claiming it to be and could easily improve in the next few years. I feel the service would improve once Microsoft's acquisitions begin to come in place with games releasing from those and perhaps more third parties jump on a Day 1 Game Pass release. Just at the moment I don't see much on there to understand the hype but if people are enjoying Game Pass good for them, it's just not catching my attention like others.

@colonelkilgore @velio84 Looks like I got beaten to it 😉

@render Gamepass forgive him 🙏

@Sam_ATLUS it's hyped as the best deal in gaming. Because it's all about the sheer amount you get for the price. Typically, I find, people talk about how good the value is rather than the content itself. I paid for it again to play Halo Infinite on my One X and again I found most the content just okay, browsed past nearly all of it. Good for people who aren't huge gamers and just play casually, but perhaps not as well suited for the enthusiasts.

@RogerRoger I need to play Split/Second sometime then, as that's obviously some high praise. Burnout Revenge was my favorite racing game from that generation. Split/Second was a free Xbox Live Gold game at some point I believe, and I've had it for a while now but have yet to play it. Ended up buying Burnout Revenge for $5 before the sale ended yesterday to play that again someday. I thought I had the disc still, but I looked and couldn't find it, so I guess not.

@KilloWertz Split/Second is probably my favourite racer from that gen, just pipping Blur. The latter was a great online racer at a time when I actually played games online lol.

@JohnnyShoulder was Blur the game that was like Mario Kart only with real cars? If so, class game.

@JohnnyShoulder split second is so underrated . as somebody whose dying for a twisted metal and as someone who loves arcade style racing , do you know how perfect split second was for me ! as much $$$ that disney has we could’ve atleast got a remaster . that game was a masterpiece and it had TWELVE PLAYER RACES . something you don’t really see anymore .

@KilloWertz what are you waiting for ?!

@nomither6 Ummm, Christmas?

I'm not sure why I didn't play it yet, but for now it will still have to wait as I have a couple of games I want to play/finish before Horizon Forbidden West comes out. After all the praise on here though, it will definitely get played at some point after I'm done with Forbidden West.

@colonelkilgore Yeah that is the one.
