I perfer Superchargers,

....This debate in a Spyro/Skylanders forum.

Answer is obvious here.

I can name some who prefer Lego though :U
But really, Skylanders vs DI threads never ended well, I don't think Lego will either.

The stuff is way overpriced for what you get to boot. $100 for the starter, $15-30 for small minifig sets...yeah, might be more fun but will wait for a market crash.

My answer is also obvious.

lego dim-*shot*

Like I said somewhere else, Skylanders > Any Toys-to-life game that comes after, unless they make one entry that majorly suck, which I doubt will ever happen.

Yeah the prices just arnt reasonable enough for Lego dimension. In Australia, the best price on sale is 119$ So far for the starter, and that's still pretty terrible unless you love Lego.

I'm gonna try it eventually once the starter pack price comes down. But I don't feel a need to collect all the random worlds so I don't think Im gonna get that much out of it. Im a little biased coz I'm not into mixing the stuff from each universe, I just don't see that much fun/benefit in using a lord of the rings character in Springfield or something. Same reason I don't like DI. Amiibo do it to an extent too.

theres now something special about skylanders actually creating a whole continuous world as apposed to 30 random little worlds being squished together.

LEGO DIMENSIONS !!

As being a fan of both and having a full skylanders collection and all of lego dimensions wave 1. I have to say I spend more time with lego the game is more fun at present. If you are a lego collector the sets are not really over priced. Check out normal lego sets in the lego section at the store. The level,team, and fun packs are priced on par with a lego set.

I can only comment on Skylanders vs Infinity...have not played Dimensions to answer that one.

Hmm. Actually Lego Dimensions the game is better than SuperChargers the game in my book. I consider SC the weakest of the 5 console Skylanders games. BUT I would also say TT and SF is way better than LD.

I own all the Lego games already and LD is really only different from the more modern Lego games in how it combines several franchises together and that feature alone doesn't exactly make the game all that special once the novelity of it wears off. Yet still that gimmick is far better than the lame racing one, which is why it gets a nod over SC for me.

And of course the big neg to LD is the incredible cost, I'll never be able to afford it all as I always buy my Lego games for under $20 used when they are a few months old as they never retain any value at all. I have no desire to own these lame lego figures because I detest the actual toys so much. The worst Skylanders figures are way better than any lego figure. Strange how much I love the Lego games and detest those toys, but I do. LOL Skylanders figures will always win the debate in having the better toys.

I really want to try out Lego Dimensions, if only for the Doctor Who content, but I'm definitely going to have to wait until the price goes way down. From what I've seen, though, it looks like a really fun game but a less than ideal fit for the Toys-to-Life distribution model, especially compared to Skylanders.

I really only have the resources to purchase one TTL franchise, so I picked Skylanders. Lego Dimensions looks like a great game but from what I've heard the gameplay is pretty much identical to every other Lego game out there. The way I see it, I can enjoy building Lego with the Lego I've already got, and I can play Lego games with the Lego games I've already got. (Besides, if I'm going to spend money on Lego in the future I'd rather drop it on a big and awesome set than a few minifigs with chips.). I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by skipping LD.

Sure, if money was no issue I'd grab the Lego Dimensions starter pack and check it out, why not. But money is an issue, and right now I'd rather spend it on Skylanders. Next time I want to play a Lego game I'll pull out Lego City Undercover or The Lego Movie Game and play them.

Some people swear by LD, but they are also either huge lego fans or collect lego figures and sets. The ONLY other argument I have heard that LD is better is that it will have so many sets that you can play anything from simpsons, to star wars, to jurassic park and so on. The other argument is something about how you have to move the character piece around on the portal and how that's a new feature that no other TTL game has done. None of these make this game appeal to me. Ive played every star wars, marvel and dc lego game and the jurassic world one....never finished a single one, always got bored and the games are the same with just a new skin over the same game play. If LD is the same thing but with toys then i have no need for it. DI and Skylanders is enough for me and my kids

I recently asked for LEGO Dimensions for Christmas. I'll give my full opinion on it by then.

There won't be star wars or marvel in dimensions since disney owns those franchises. With that being the Disney infinity realm. There are a large amount of portal character interactions to solve puzzles.

Personally I find Lego City Undercover to be the best Lego game so far (long loading times aside). Granted, it sort of abandons the standard Lego game formula and instead plays more like a child-friendly Grand Theft Auto, but it still scratches that Lego itch (without costing nearly as much as Lego Dimensions).


Quote: Pinkie the Pie

I think this whole "Especially in Skylanders case because it looks like because of it there isn't going to be another Spyro game until the series dies off because well... Spyro is their own slave until someone else buys him off them.

If Crash Bandicoot is anything to go by, Spyro would be a distant memory without Skylanders.

I have both games taking up space on my TV stand. I prefer Superchargers - prettier to look at, you get to level up your character and yourself, and I like the bonus features if you have their signature vehicle (this is probably their gambit to emptying my wallet - I want my guys to Supercharge). I like the elemental zones, supercharger challenges and Tessa's daily tasks. I'm excited to play the levels again with a new character.

LD is amusing but feels so repetitive. Definitely for a younger audience. Moving the characters around the portal got old pretty quickly. Constant reminders that you need a certain ability to enter an area. Expensive if you want to collect more bricks or play as other characters. It is fun to have a wizard, a ninja, and Wonder Woman solving puzzles together, but they aren't YOUR characters like Superchargers. Yes, you can level up your dinosaur and cars but it's not quite the same. I think it might be worth picking up at a Black Friday discount for the story levels if you like the typical Lego game formula.

Bingo. One is enough for me. I'm on the cusp of at least trying another franchise, especially if the game remains a story/chapter format. Not sure how to change it up, but it needs it for the legacy portal masters who have been here since 2011. And if I try another franchise, I'll be saying goodbye to this one. I'm sure most people on this site spends at least $750 on average per game on it now.

Superchargers looks like it has the better value. Lego stuff has always been overpriced to me.

Love more Skylanders. The design of lego games is...how to say it...too much lego. I'm not really into that block look of the characters and everything being done in lego pieces. Additionally the controls in lego batman 3 and maverl superheroes, while not bad, are not as fluent and responsive as skylanders IMO, and I don't think they have changed a lot in LD ( I haven't tried it yet). Additionally, I already own lego batman 3 and mavel superheroes where you get to play around 150 characters in each, so I don't feel the urge of gertting LD.

On the positive side, the open world and the free flight mechanics of lego games is something that Skylanders should really try to attain. The massive "free" roster as well of lego batman 3 and marvel superheroes (and the upcoming avengers) stills amazes me.

The later lego games (excluding LD) are great games, but the overall desing and controls make me prefer skylanders.

I only got infinity for gotg
And well I got all the playsets and a bunch of figs aswell its fun. Because, well, a lot of things to do,

Completely agree with you. I'm not prepared to pay the asking price for dimensions. I really want it simply because of Doctor Who and yeah, it looks like it'll be fun but not worth the current price.

The Doctor Who chapter was fantastic! But it will certainly keep until the price is right.

So, people keep complaining about price. Can someone explain to me the difference between paying $13 for a character in Skylanders, and $15 for a character and vehicle in LEGO Dimensions? Why is $15 per character cost prohibitive, and $13 not? Or, with Superchargers, consider that a supercharged combo is a character and a vehicle, which is $28. So, how exactly is cost the thing people keep pointing at, when they are basically tha same? Or is it JUST the $25 difference in starter pack price?

I think it is a tie, don't like choosing favourites. But I really hate DI

Well, just look at the LEGO minfigs....they aren't exactly worth as much as they charge for them ( I mean blind bags of Simpsons minifigs are $4 a piece and you only get 1 per bag... ). I used to buy small LEGO sets with a minifig and more pieces than the Dimensions packs for $5 ( that was over 20 years ago though )

In my opinion, Lego Dimensions's starter pack price is just too high for a casual try. $100 for a video game is a hard pill to swallow, but of course so is $75.

I think Lego tried too hard to appeal to as many fandoms as they could; Doctor Who, Scooby Doo, The Simpsons, The Lord of the Rings, Detective Comics, Back to the Future, etc. without actually making me WANT to try any of them.

My biggest hangup to me, though, as I can buy -nearly- any Lego game (Minus Dimensions) for $20 brand new. How different could the gameplay be without the Portal?

Well, for one thing, no one is saying Skylanders is cheap. Just that it's cheaper than Dimensions (which doesn't seem to play much different than a standard Lego game) and that its characters provide more value for the money (since each Skylander provides a unique moveset with a lot of depth, while Lego characters have very simple movesets in comparison...similarly, the vehicle gameplay in SuperChargers is much more in-depth than the vehicle gameplay found in Lego games, to the point that the racing in SuperChargers could work as a separate game of its own). Since most of us here have already decided to get Skylanders because of that value, that means the entire cost of Lego Dimensions is in addition to the cost of the Skylanders stuff we've already invested in.

Also, you forgot to mention all the Team Packs and Level Packs which cost $25 and $30 each, respectively.

Can't really say that much about Dimensions but I would indeed buy at least the Starter Pack if it was available in my country.
It seems like the very first true Skylanders' competitor, since the characters seem unique enough and can be played everywhere, the game looks great and the toy aspect is as interesting as the actual gameplay.

But it is a bit overpriced.
You cannot even start to compare LEGO Minifigures to Skylanders, Infinity characters or Amiibos.
They are just average LEGO figures quality-wise and that is certainly not a bad thing but on the same time doesn't excuse the high price.

The fact you can change the physical shape of a vehicle and actually keep the change in-game is fantastic but I heard it doesn't change much, gameplay-wise.
The open-world game full of sub quests and hidden secrets and collectables is a big plus to me (hope either TfB or V.V. will start thinking about it seriously) and the gameplay, while still keeping the classic LEGO game approach still manages to feel fresh and fun, according to the reviews and various comment I read.

As I said I would indeed buy the Starter Pack but most likely no extra figure or vehicle.
Figure-wise Skylanders remains the most valuable toys in the TtL genre.

Spyros Adventure > Dimensions
Giants < Dimensions
Swap Force >>>>>>>>>>>>> Dimensions
Trap Team > Dimensions
Superchargers <<<<<<<<<<< Dimensions

I'm curious, GameMaster78, what makes SA, SWAP Force and Trap Team better than Dimensions and what makes Giants worse (not going to ask you about SuperChargers since I already know your opinion about it)?

SSA: 26 levels, no one has bested this. True innovation and the first of its kind (I know of the Funkeys stuff, but still)
Swap Force: Tough to get everything done. lots of replayability...Quests still in play.

His idea about SC is bizarre. I think both Trap Team and SC is a step down in the replayability dept. We hit the pinnacle in Swap Force imo but parity between TT and SC is there I think.

I have to admit, I've been having a lot of fun playing SuperChargers. Most of my game time is occupied with Racing at the moment, at least until I have a wider selection of figures to use. Apart from a couple of finish line glitches I've encountered, it's one of the best racing experiences I've had on any console to date.

As for LEGO Dimensions... There's no denying I'm a LEGO fan. Bionicle is still my top favourite theme, and I'm glad it's been rebooted (good riddance, Hero Factory). But the cost of everything in Australia is way too expensive for my budget:

●Starter Pack: $170
●Character Pack: $25 each
●Team Pack: $40 each
●Level Pack: $50 each

At those prices, I may as well just buy a fully-featured LEGO set or two, as I'll get a lot more value out of the toy itself that way. I wasn't a huge fan of the regular LEGO games I've tried, and from what I understand Dimensions is very similar. Couple that with my lack of shelf space (my shelves have barely enough room to display my amiibo and my favourite Skylanders), and it becomes clear that Dimensions simply isn't for me.

If a Bionicle theme ever becomes available, however, it might just be the nudge I need to help change my mind...

The Lego Dimensions starter pack is $170 down here?! Yeesh, I knew I'd already put LD in the 'too-expensive' basket but that's just ludicrous!

I don't know how you guys do it, if prices were that here, I'd go back to playing cards.

Pretty much the same here, that and i never found building legos all that fun even as a kid, its prob why i find minecraft boring.

good points...heck, I bought the digital version of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on Xbox One for just $5 on sale. Plus, while I love the whole crossover mix & match aspect of LD ( something Disney Infinity stupidly ONLY does in Toy Box mode, which is what turned me off getting those games ) they unfortunately included crap I couldn't care less about ( Wizard of Oz, Scooby-Doo...to a lesser degree as I like the designs, Chima & Ninjago ) and you NEED a character from everything to 100% the game. At least with Skylanders, even the worst characters look nice figure wise...and the upgrades give some level of customization and experimentation to see what works best for your playstyle.

Off topic: I LOVE your name & pic, ShinkenRed....Shinkenger was awesome! I like Gokaiger best, but Shinkenger is a close 2nd for me

This picture sums the game up

To be as non biased as I possibly can, and doing so won't be easy as I am nearing 400 hours in the Skylanders series... well there are definitely reasons to prefer Lego Dimensions, and although not part of the subject, there's reasons for Disney Infinity also. All three are honestly fantastic games, and if one is structurally better than the other, it's a very close call.

I preferred the first Disney Infinity over Skylanders Giants and Spyro's Adventure. I loved how the starter came with three game worlds, all open worlds which actually felt like three entirely different games. The first Disney Infinity was just so easy to get sucked into. I never cared for the Toy Box mode, as I never cared for Mine Craft, Little Big Planet, or any other level creator game. Having said this, after the first Disney Infinity, the game abandoned that cool focus it had on game worlds feeling like different games and whatnot, and it lost my attention.

Lego Dimensions is probably the trickiest of the three to think about, since it's so mixed up. The whole idea that you can build your portal and vehicles is awesome, but what if you just want to turn your game on and play? The building would get tedious if you just simply want to play your game. Lego Dimensions also asks for character switching more than the other two games... ridiculously more, and that also gets tedious. It is however extremely solid as far as gameplay goes, and if you said you thought Dimensions had superior gameplay, I wouldn't be able to argue with you.

In the end, Lego Dimensions has a lot of problems, but it's the first game. If this becomes a series, then the developers are still finding things out, just like how it was with Disney Infinity and Skylanders. We're on the fifth game with Skylanders, and I believe it is the superior game of the three major Toys-to-Life games this year, but it's the *fifth* game. I may be a Skylanders fangirl, and I may think Superchargers is better, but it all comes down to what you prefer, as the three are entirely different. Also... again, it's the fifth game. Skylanders has had far more time to evolve and find what works. Giants, my least favorite of the series, it was the second game, it didn't have that much time to evolve by then, hence my point.

IT's an interesting but easy thing for me to answer right now.

This was the year we were going to start retiring from TtL. I didn't get everything for DI3.0, only Inside Out and Yoda *eventually got the new set, will get Vader this week, and plan on Ultron & Hulkbuster*. I got everything from Superchargers this year, though after my wife finally played it, she asked "This was done by the people who did Swap Force wasn't it", and subsequently refuses to play it *she hates the game honestly, she loves the other entries, but not this one or SF*...I say that to say, we are most likely done shor of Nightfall for SC. I said I am NOT getting Lego Dimensions (LD).

And my son (4 yeras old) convinced her to do it behind my back (he's good). He bought a few things for LD also. I've played them all 'about' the same, Superchargers - I have the Wii and Wii U version, havne't opened the Wii one yet, and have played to a certain point on two different consoles.

This year? DI3.0 seems to be the funnest entry of the three. Of the actual toys, Superchargers blows the others out the water, between cars that my son can actually play with, and well Bowser (haha), along with better durability (Yoda's saber broke on day 1 for me), and its not even close. LD? IT is a nightmare. Anyone with a LEgo collection already knows how much of a pain keeping track of them can be. Now imagine building a portal that can easily be taken apart and is nothing but small parts. The whole lego idea is overblown - you don't take stuff apart outside of making a new vehicle, there is no imagination associated with it, you'r paying 15 dollars or whatever for a $7 bag of legos and a 25 cent RFID tag. LD is just a typical lego game, but with "physical DLC", needing characters who can do certain things, to unlock certain areas. Superchargers struggles to have a good flow, being forced to change vehicles so frequently (3 times a level), with such a large focus on everything being unique (the undead prison turned my wife off and me too tbh), all takes away from the formula of play who you want and beat bad guys up with a few puzzle elements. I applaud what they did, but its just not as fun due to design and vehicles (it needs Kaos mode BAD, and money has been a REAL issue).

DI3.0 story mode so far has bright spots and then "this is boring" moments (anything in space), but the combat feels like actual combat. Toy Box truly shines now as well, I can make a large land mass, drop a couple creators or capsule makers, and my son and I can have fun for a good hour in a single area.

I mean I know this is LD vs SC and this is a Spyro board, but I won't lie, right now I enjoy DI3.0 the most, the toys so far are 'meh', but the game itself is good. SC has the best toys by FAR, and while they function at the same level as McDonaold Happy Meal toys, they are a big improvement over 'statues', unfortunately, the game itself just isn't fun to me right now, I'll play one level, then go back to Mario Maker, I feel like I'm forcing myself. And LEgo Dimensions is a random as hell Lego game, where they are trying to extract extra money out of you buy using actual legos, and have shoddy puzzles by using the physical portal (they never tell you whats going on, you just have to figure out 'remove everyone from portal!'). LD does get credit for the portal in that I can put like 5 or 6 things on the portal at once and just switch between them as I need, so there is no need to constnatly get up and change stuff. Start a play session with the 3 main characters, add say the Portal girl, Cyborg, and the Batmobile, and I cna play for a while without getting up - the opposite of "every 3 minutes Skylanders", and better than "not in this mode" DI.

Unreall, regarding the toys, I think DI3.0 has the best paint jobs. SSC figures with good paint jobs are very impressive, but equally rare. This year, IMO the average Skylander paint job has gone to crap.

I'm curious, GameMaster78, what makes SA, SWAP Force and Trap Team better than Dimensions and what makes Giants worse (not going to ask you about SuperChargers since I already know your opinion about it)?

Good question, Drek. When it comes to Skylanders, I look for certain things. Length, adventure packs available, number of playable characters, extras and exploration.

At my core, I'm a Skylanders nut, so any good Skylanders game is going to be better than Dimensions, despite the fact that Dimensions is a longer game than all but maybe Swap Force.

Having said that, SA gave me 22 story levels and 4 adventure packs, 32 Heroic Challenges, making for a lengthy campaign and a decent amount of extra content.

Swap Force hit it all out of the park. Adventure Packs made a return, as did the release of 32 figures. Levels were a great length and Elemental Gates still existed that allowed for our original Skylanders to have some Importance to them. Bonus Missions, Swap Zone challenges, Survival and Team Survival Arenas that are more fun than anything Brock has to offer (and were more challenging to boot), Score Mode and Time Attack gave me plenty of reasons to come back and will be going back to.

Trap Team started a downward trend, but was still a decent game. The last time, so far, we've seen Elemental Gates, but only accessible with Trap Masters, meaning your old collection served no purpose other than to play with. Lite on extra modes, but again, kept Adventure Packs. Exploration was still there.

Giants... ah, Giants. Good for its time. Best we were offered a year later. A scant 16 levels and 16 new Skylanders. No new Adventure Packs. New Heroics were cool, but for the increase in price, wasn't offered enough to make me feel it was nothing more than a short filler to bide time for Swap Force.

I've been talking about how good Dimensions is, and some here are getting but hurt over the opinions, but the nature of maturity is that people should be able to handle it. No matter what I say about Dimensions, I will love Skylanders as long as Skylanders feels like Skylanders. Superchargers felt more like what Naughty Dog generally does free three games in a particular series... They make a kart racing game using said property. SC is so reliant on vehicles, the gimmick was forced. If the gimmick felt different per level, I would've liked it based on the principal of variety, but it was tedious.

I am desperately hoping next years game has lengthy levels, values exploration, brings back Elemental Gates and Adventure Packs, makes our thousands of dollars worth of Skylanders useful again, same goes for Magic Items, has some cool extra modes, and has a better variety when it comes to levels while not shoving the gimmick down your throat.

Agree 1000%, I've always been like "Those people who get up in arms over the paint jobs just have their thumbs up their butts", but this year, the issues are so glaring and frequent, that its annoyed me to no end.

But, they (the SSC toys) can take a beating. The SSC toys feel durable. The floor in my basement is stone, and I'm terrified of scratching w/ DI3.0 figures, while the SSC toys laugh at it. There also is simply a higher level of detail, yes that's a factor of styling, but when you factor in the vehicles that have wheels and the such, its just feels like a better purchase. The term 'toys to life' is a misnomer as they are more like statues, my son will mash them together now and then, but as figures, he'd rather play with stuff from 5 Below. The vehicles though was a BRILLIANT move for SSC, my son loves to drive around Fiesta's car and the Burn-Cycle.

And yes there is salt in my eyes from yoda breaking. Literally the first time I took him off the portal, he fell and the light saber broke off *still haven't found it to glue back on*. Looking forward to Ultron and IMHB, I just plan on painting them. Even if I didn't get DI3.0 I'd buy those two figures.

I actually question "good paint job" for DI3.0, the figures are mostly basic with obvious clear lines of separation - so its is farily easy. Anakin is literally black plastic with a white guy face painted on and hair. There is just less room for issues...granted my Venom had a HORRIBLE paint job on the ALL BLACK area...

Okay, so I don't have Dimensions yet, but if I can still give my opinions on it: It looks like a good game based on what I've seen so far. Really, I think all the LEGO games are pretty good. It also looks like they incorporated the idea of vehicles better than Superchargers, in my opinion. I think a hundred bucks is a little steep, but hey, LEGOs in general are pretty expensive...

My only worry so far is that it's a Toys to Life game that... really doesn't need to be a Toys to Life game. I mean, the previous LEGO games had in-game rosters of like hundreds of characters, so why do we need to buy physical minifigures for this game? Because it's a crossover? There are plenty of games that are crossovers that don't need figures sold separately. And it also doesn't help that the LEGO Marvel Avengers game coming out in a few months ISN'T Toys to Life.

So... In terms of being a game, I'd say LEGO Dimensions will probably be better... But in terms of being a Toys to Life game, Superchargers trumps.
