A Lego game about building with Legos, not a world with Legos in it? Yes please (www.gog.com)

There's been tons of fun games about Lego, no doubt about it. But every game has always been the theme of Lego overlaid on another. Such as Lego Racing; you build a car to race with. Also, the actual environment/background is not made of Lego. The purpose is to race a car, and the building of the car is a facet of the game. The same is true for... any of them,really. Lego Marvel Superheroes, Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel Superheroes, DC Supervillians, Lord of the Rings... etc. It's a world with a 'skin' on Lego thrown on top. (Not that it's not lovely)

LEGO Bricktales is absurdly fun and very intuitive controls (I actually play one-handed!), but horribly controlled with a controller.

The plural of LEGO is LEGO.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

LEGO is a trademarked name

Correct way to talk about Lego bricks is to say Lego bricks

"Pass me all your Lego!" Is not a correct sentence. "Pass me all your Lego bricks!"

If there were 15 Lamborghini cars in a parking lot. You'd say "That's a lot of Lamborghinis"

Lamborghini doesn't have to worry about Lamborghini becoming synonymous with "cars". So Lamborghini doesn't care.

If everyone keep saying "Legos" for "Plastic Bricks". Lego could have a trademark situation on their hands, so they try their hardest to stop people calling the individual plastic blocks Legos.

It being plural is like a myth.

I have many Lego. I enjoy playing with my Lego. My Lego makes me happy.

No it isn't, everyone says legos. Language evolves and what is being used becomes the norm, not "how it supposed to be" when someone decided what the plural is for their company blocks.

I think it is mostly Americans that say that. I've never heard anyone say it outside of reading it on American centric forums.

I love playing with my Lego plastic bricks!

I love playing with my Lego!

I love playing with my Legos!

So everyone you know in person says the second one?

"I play with my Lego often"

[–] porl@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mostly the second one, yes. Lego. Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego. Never Legos.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego

Is not Lego plural

Like a kid would say "Do you want to go to my house and play with my Lego?"

Use it in a sentence where it's plural and makes sense

[–] porl@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Yes, that's what they would say. I'm not sure if you are disagreeing with me? No one I've ever heard says Legos here in Australia. I'm playing with my Lego. Check out my Lego. I'm missing some of my Lego pieces. Pick up your Lego.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Nope, plenty of people say legos over here too.
