Build penises.

So shitty performance aside, I just created a tiny house from an existing set, complete with apple tree, BBQ and pool. I cooked bratwurst on the barbeque then knocked myself out playing basketball in the pool creating a kind of pinnocciodead.jpg effect.
This game is actually lots of fun.

Apparently you can, haven't seen it yet though.

Some impressions from the stream:
Looks really impressive so far. I'm not sure how this will turn out though, I think there's a lot that can be said about simplicity and how more isn't always better. As a 'do anything' kind of toy, that's really cool, but I can't see this topping Minecraft for me.
I can see why they would implement prebuilt structures with this. Trying to build in this with as many parts as there are would be a nightmare. But that's really unsatisfying to me. I'd rather build my own stuff. I know that's planned, but again, it seems unenjoyable to do it that way with so many parts.
I think my major turnoff from this is that the environment is so fragile. It seems that any little thing can destroy the complex environment. And that may not always be desired.

Looks like the game Minecraft always wanted to be.
I've managed to not get into Minecraft because I always thought it would be too much of a time suck. This... this I don't think I can fight.
I think I'll wait to hear impressions after the initial glow wears off (though everything sounds and looks very promising so far) to see if it the game I think it is.

Looks cool but has a long way to go to be a mine craft replacement. They really got the easy part done, multi-player is what will make it popular. I have to say though, if Project Spark supported bigger world's in its procedural generation tool it would have this by its balls. But it's only 15 bucks and it's lego. If you really can build anything with all the blocks in a creative mode, that alone is worth admission price.

How many pieces are available? What kind of buildings/vehicles are you not able to build yet? Ideally I want the capabilities of a Lego digital builder within a Minecraft-like world.

What a bizarre surprise release. I guess I would buy a thing that lets you build virtual Lego sets. But Minecraft never drew me in because I prefer more structured gameplay. Lego at least has nostalgia going for it.

Well I'm now dressed as a wizard, standing on the roof of my castle shooting skeletons with my blunderbuss. That was after riding a Siberian Husky to a volcano and jumping in a helicopter.
Yeah, this game is good.

Oh man, that's amazing. Going to have to add the Ecto-1 and Ghostbusters Firehouse into this game asap!
Framerate is terrible
Edit: On and no inverted look for controller.
Seriously? Ughhhhh

Probably not. Most of his friends probably play Minecraft already and this isn't a finished game. If he wants Minecraft I'd get him that.
Framerate is terrible
Texture quality high, FXAA off, DoF off, shadows medium, 1080p. Goes from 60fps all the way down to 30 fps just walking around.
This is on an i5 4690k and GTX 970 with 16GB ram on windows 8.1.
I expected better
Edit: On and no inverted look for controller.
I have a very similar PC and no performance issues what so ever. :S
in its current state: no
by some point in 2016? probably!
game has potential but this is early access. important to weigh it by those merits.
minecraft was pretty limited when it first launched in early access too.
i'm still playing around in it. I like what it is showing me but it's very rough. I can see it going to great places though.
also, yes, framerate issues people are reporting are not exaggerated. game is pretty (supports DX11, which is nice to see) but they aren't kidding about the early access. they have a long ways to go
perfectly fine. If you have played any recent LEGO game on PC it's similar in how you control the characters. It's a non-issue. For building mode you may find yourself preferring the mouse/keyboard. If you have a gamepad (360/XB1/PS4+third party drivers) that option is there as well
I would say Minecraft is not expensive at all considering how much kids play it.... just buy him that as it is a great game and kids are all playing it. Lego Worlds might be off to a good start but the point of Minecraft at least going off my 8 year old boy is playing with friends.

Finally, a LEGO game without a license attached. Now where's Brickster.

This is what everyone was expecting Lego Universe to be, not a generic MMO using the Lego IP.
Half of me thinks this is kind of cool, the other half thinks the window for Lego to have done this is long, long past. Had this been out in 2010, when Lego Universe came out, I would've definitely been a lot more interested.
I would expect anything for summer sale. Fresh release in early access and such.

Knowing how TT Games struggles to deliver a scripted game bug free and how often they don't patch the bugs out (or Warner Bros don't let them), I am curious to see how they are going to handle an online multiplayer open world procedural game with creations, customisations etc... Especially that I expect this game to make it to other hardwares later on. We'll see I guess....

Gave in and bought it. Game seems cool so far, it even has official sets. Only one at the moment but I'm not sure if you can unlock more.

My boy just spent two hours playing it (he's 7) seems impressed. Seems a tad barebones, but as it is, I can see this growing into a fantastic package, even if they just deliver what's on their list and call it a day. I saw him roaming and exploring, collecting minifigures and vehicles. You can build brick by single brick, dump a preset building down, terraform the world geometry kind of similar to project spark, all of it seemed to work good, although when it's filling in a pre-built structure there was a bit of slow down. There's a little bit of janky but I dunno, this looks like it could be something.
