LEGO 2K Drive Outlines Year One Seasons And 'Premium Drive Pass' Rewards

Afraid this will have to be a pass for me. It’s a shame because the concept is great but I can’t stand this level of scummy micro transactions in a AAA single player game

Pay real money to unlock more

What The HELL ?! 🤨
Don't support this game, guys !

$60-$120 for the game + DLC and then on top of that micro transactions.... BS. Not happening with my wallet.

pass for me.
I was very hyped but live service and all this microtransaction bs ruined it for me.
They ruined it by being greedy.
I hope more ppl will skip for this reason so companies will see people don't want this.
Else more and more games will become like this or even worse.

It’s just optional content, doesn’t affect core gameplay, and isn’t temporarily available like most passes. It’s frustrating that I have Disney Speedstormers and probably won’t get to the final tier despite playing 3x per week, so I can get behind this. The real question then will be am I playing this or Diablo 4?

Can I go back to playing Lego Star Wars now?

So this is a F2P game then yeah

NOPE! Kinda sick of this $h¡t, have the whole game or no game!

I refuse to pay retail pricing and Micro transitions... Hard Pass
Too bad it looked interesting with all the Lego options for racers.

Live service so nope.

The fact that this game is 60 bucks abd has all of this extra monetization on top of it is anhard no from me.

Is it just me, or has LEGO started making some lousy games recently? TT Games is usually much better than this (though I dunno who’s developing this one).

@AcridSkull It's a full priced "F"2P game.

This is the reason, sadly, why I will never buy or play this. It's predatory tactics in a KIDS game! This SHOULD be illegal.

I will almost certainly buy this, the question is just when. Also pending reviews. But open world, split screen arcade racers don't really exist apart from this. I bet the switch port is awful so it might be one for deck. Also, racing games are basically the worst they've ever been unless all you care about is tuning and realism.

It's a 2k game so I'm not surprised. Shame it looks a good idea and probably fun to play.

Think I'll just stick to Mario Kart.

@epicgamner this isn’t anything to do with Tt, this is 2K, hence the name, and Visual Concepts.

Absolutely disgusting. Lego should be ashamed of themselves.

I love that they are trying to sell an Ultimate version of this game for $120, and then they come out with even more monetisation on top?! For a LEGO game?

Hahaha... also did I mention, Hahaha. Thisnsounds like such a scam and will be a hard pass for me. I'm so sick of battle passes and microtransactions in these AAA games that now cost us $90 for normal editions and $120-130 for "deluxe/ultimate" and then they still want more money?!? Haha ya they can go eff themselves! This crap is slowly turning me away from gaming, which socks because I've gamed since Atari 2600 days and love it, but this greed and bs is getting beyond ridiculous now.

The CEO of 2K should be fired for keep continuing the BS business practice in video games.
Even when you are a businessman, you should have some kindness and not being greedy for yourself.
Don't follow the law of Economy by getting the highest profit as possible but sacrificing the humanity and sanity.

Yeah, no. I don't think I will.

Only getting for the Lego item bonus beyond that they should give that free for not even having a physical game and expect to pay for buying a empty case? LEGO can do better but looks like they are scrapping the scum off the bottom of the bucket.

Ha ha ha ha hah! Hahahaha! Ha! Ha! Ha.....Nope.

ive been saying this or a while 2k is the new EA.

I would have jumped at this without hesitation if it were a free to play live service game. On the other hand, I never buy season passes or microtransactions so I guess they're not crying into their beer over losing me as a customer.

Selling a LEGO game brick per brick, bag per bag, AND as a box. An empty box by the way. BECAUSE WE CAN.

@BloodWolfe Do what I did: buy a Dreamcast. That brought back my love of gaming.

I'm very surprised with the ambition and full speed ahead approach with this business model in today's conditions. I mean 'live service' games are struggling and shutting down left and right. I get this IP has more weight behind it, but I'm baffled they're going all in with the marketing style. In one way you could appreciate them being very open about what you'll be getting into but on another way it's quite ambitious to automatically expect consumers to hook their credit cards on file and go nuts. I don't support this practice at all but at least you'll know upfront what's going on. I don't see this lasting longer than the usual 1.5 - 2 years lifespan with the expected social media post from the developers thanking the "community" for the support but unfortunately it's shutting down. In other words "we got your money and now is the best time to peace out so we can come up with the next venture to do it all again! Suckers!"

@zgillet I have my old one laying around, it's just not hooked up. I may have to do that, or hook up my Gamecube as well.

Something expected from Take Two Interactive (specially 2K). So, this is not news to me

@BloodWolfe if you do hook up the Dreamcast, I recommend burning a copy of the English-patched game Rent A Hero. A translation was released this week, so basically it is a brand new DC game.

@epicgamner wait… what? So if it’s free with microtransactions you’re happy to play without giving the developers a single penny, but now that it’s an upfront cost they’ll have to work to convince you to play? What exactly are they losing here besides your non-business? Why are they worried about someone playing for free who’s saying upfront that they aren’t intending to ever purchase anything? I’m failing to see the logic of “you screwed up and lost my non-business! I was willing to play for free, but not anymore!”

Jog away on.

@zgillet Good to know, thanks for that tip.
