Very concerned
After playing the new patch and seeing the content included in Lego Universe I have to wonder why this game was released.
It's confusing because everything I purchased this game to become is light years away, while it seems Lego Universe is coming out with everything from the start. Why are two such similar games using the same license and similar names being marketed in such a confusing way?

Slightly confused here, LEGO Universe shut down...3 years ago.

Also, LEGO universe supposedly spent most of their budget on scanning contributions for male genitalia... found some great articles describing the financial situation which basicly sum up the internet outsmarting bots to keep producing magnificent 'art'

A light year is a measure of distance, not of time.

Apologies, I meant Lego Dimensions. Hence my point about multiple licensed products with similar names.

time and space are discussed synonymously when referring to anything above sublight speeds.

everyone who watches star trek knows that ;v

also I think everyone's having the textbook pangs of update remorse...it happens.

LEGO Dimensions isn't even a similar game (except LEGO being in the titles?), just the same developer.

TT makes all your major LEGO games, I am not sure what is confusing there.

LEGO Dimensions is an action game with a R.O.B.-esque LEGO toy connectivity gimmick.

LEGO Worlds is a Minecraft-style sandbox game.

Another way to sum it up is Dimensions is similar style to all their other LEGO games just more than one IP present at once.

LEGO Worlds is an open world sandbox.

Although, I still do not see how this is confusing, the trailers do not even make it seem similar.

The trailers all show lego and building, I bought this game from TT after enjoying the Lego Marvel/DC/Harry Potter/Etc. Series and expected similar mechanics and licensed characters/worlds but with an open world build based mechanic similar to free roam in said games.
So far the only things that seem to differ between this and their other games is that I can actually morph the terrain and build new structures, but for this feature I give up all licensed material and any sort of goal oriented structure such as unlocking new characters by saving them or solving puzzles. Now I just unlock things by bumping into them, and their generic things like a new scientist with a slightly different lab coat. Seriously, they added a research chemist! No Batman, no star wars Biome, a frikkin research chemist!
So ya, im led astray by their previous game entries and the fact that all their games are named Lego World, Universe, Dimension, Etc.
The sad thing is, I don't even care if their licensed (though im confused why all their other games get this content). I'd be happy with generic sci-fi biome or superhero biome, just no random trash on a beach biome! That is literally one of their new biomes, where you can unlock such exciting new build options as three, count them, three different stacks of used tires! I don't know about you, but that beats out a functioning Batmobile in my book!

Let me correct you.
This game is NOT released This game does NOT release until 2016. This has NOTHING to do with universe.

Yeah, you can't compare an "Early Access" game to a released game. It's not the same level of finish at all. The reason why it doesn't have everything yet is because it isn't finished, and they clearly stated that.

It's not even within the same genre as other LEGO games.

I am not sure why you expected something different D1Tremere, to me the store page, the descriptions, the videos and the screenshots all made it clear what type of game this was. Even lots of feedback in here about what it is.

You brought up Universe again, once again that game shut down 3 years ago and was not even made by the same developers.

"The trailers all show LEGO" Well obviously they do, they're...LEGO games. The trailers between Dimensions and Worlds are COMPLETELY different.

Last part of this part of my rant is, it's Early Access. It clearly states what that means in a big blue box on the store page. No point in even comparing an Early Access game to a finished game.

We are really comparing Apples to Oranges here, just because they're both called fruits.

My concerns are the lack of initial content that you would expect like more blocks and windows and doors. Those things should have been included.

We get one update after a month and it still does not include those basics. Why are they spending time building props instead of giving us the ability to build our own.

One update a month at this rate until full release does not give me much hope we will have what we expected.

As of now people are buying this game for the potential and most of us probably see the potential being a MC killer, but do the devs? They have not given us any reason to believe that is what they are out to achieve. There's been no detailed roadmap including blocks they plan on giving us.

Right now it basically feels like we are paying for an experiment and if this game does not get far more involved and complex than it is than essentially we paid full price because it wont be worth much more than it is now.

Wait. You are complaining about it being an update a month?
I have played a few games that get a lot less than that!!! Okay for an example, starbound- an update every 6 months to a year. Godus- um an update is very rare for early access... and most updates are very small. Minecraft- anyone who plays minecraft knows that updates take a long time (well, content adding ones).

I am so far pleased wiht the speed of updates.

As long as the devs are open about the development and are posting regular text updates etc I have no qualms with waiting a long time for updates. It gets a little harder to remain enthousiastic when they go radio silent
