Thought I'd create a thread for the 5 of us stuck with outdated consoles (but everyone can still enjoy the post)...
Generally speaking, the 3.0 version is less problematic than its predecessor. I've had very few major issues so far and the playsets are a vast improvement over 2.0's. Farming is a great addition, as well as Toy Box Takeover, and the new Hub area does a much better job of explaining how the game works. We also got one of the greatest of Creativi-toys in 3.0: the Path Creator, plus nice upgrades to older toys.
Unfortunately, as someone else has pointed out, the game is built upon a faulty foundation and issues that existed since 1.0 still occur. Several things have been addressed, others have been ignored...
BASIC OBSERVATIONS (Could apply to all platforms)
•Text Creator: The number one reason I stopped playing 2.0 was because this thing simply would not work. And in 3.0, nothing has changed...it will not connect to the Disney server, unless I use a workaround. No one has seemed to be willing or able to offer a solution. Along with that, I also cannot enter Flynn's Arcade or the main theater of El Capitan...I'm guessing the reason is related to the Text Creator (hint: it's on their end).
•INteriors: Or as they should be called, INferiors. Other than the fact that you can make pretty rooms, I still don't really see the point of this feature. Is there a reason we couldn't just have interior décor for regular ToyBoxes instead of segregating them? Are we really expected to use interiors in conjunction with ToyBoxes when many toys don't function there? Many people have had problems with their interiors crashing or disappearing entirely (even in 2.0...so this wasn't even addressed in 3.0 it would seem). At least you can dim the lights inside now...sort of.
•The Hub: A little glitchy in places...crops showing up in weird places, sidekicks wandering off instead of planting, etc. It would've been nice if the game explained that you could build farms in the ToyBox instead of using the Hub plots that don't always work right (5000 sparks per plot?!?).
•Townspeople/NPCs: I've ranted about this before, but seriously, their default behavior should be "Stand Still". File this under "Bad Design Choice".
•Sidekicks: While the feature itself is great, some of the choices seem really random. We get the Muppets, but no Piggy. We get Pooh and Tigger, but no Eeyore (my family was not happy about this). Instead we get sidekicks like Flynt (really?). Also, no Maleficent or SW sidekicks (except Younglings).
•Gifts and Trivia: Another fun feature...until the 50th time you've been asked what color Pooh's balloon is, or told that Kashyyyk is the Wookie planet, or you get nothing but sparks, or there's still 5 sidekicks you can't get. At some point, the game should realize you're missing stuff and not force you to wander around the Hub or your MyINterior for an hour and get nothing. Also, pretty tired of Snow White's stupid animal friends getting lost. Also file under "Bad Design Choice".
•Driving and Timed Challenges: Have and always will hate them. Especially when they prevent me from unlocking toys.
•Hub-Only Pieces: There are four items near the cottage in the hub that are not available in the ToyBox: the fish pool, the pond, the tree swing, and the picnic. Are we not getting these?
•Power Discs: Shouldn't there be more of these? Does the fact they're not blind-bagged not make them profitable anymore?
•Star Wars toys: Related to power discs, I could make a very long, separate list about what SW things are missing (no Coruscant or Naboo sky?).
TOY-SPECIFIC ISSUES (None of these have been mentioned before, could be unique to 360)
•Vehicle Summoner: Will not recognize the Astro Blasters Space Cruiser power disc. I've gotten it to spawn other vehicles (Hook's Ship, Mr. Toad's Car), but it doesn't even see the Cruiser.
•Tatooine Terrain 1: Once it's been placed, you can't move it at all with the wand. If you retheme it (as Fantasy Terrain 1, for example), then you can move it.
•Tatooine Terrain 2: The preview picture in the ribbon doesn't match the actual item...not even close.
•Chief Chirpa and Logray: I don't have ROTE yet, but in the Toy Store, these two are identical. The actual characters should look nothing alike.
I'm sure I'll find more later, but for now please feel free to discuss...thanks!
