Well, that's because the formula LEGO's cooked up for its games are already very well honed. It's been tested and gradually changed over many years now, so they know what they're doing. Why would they bring in a new gameplay system when the one they already have is tested and top-notch? No, it's because Lego is trying to pull an Activision on us. Think about it; they're doing the exact same thing CoD does. They refuse to change and instead pump out what seems to be the same game every. single. time. This would be fine if you like the Lego games, but I have despised them since Lego Star Wars II. I see what you mean. You're right - they do keep doing the same thing, and I've only tried to explain why. Of course, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but from the LEGO Group's perspective, they already have a tried and ready formula in their hands. They bring in a decent amount of money to the company, and, aside from some less-than-satisfied fans like you, have little reason to change that. I'm not trying to penalize you, of course - there's nothing wrong with what you're saying. But LEGO's not gonna bring around any big change unless the majority of players share your mindset.
