I guess I understand that, but if kids back when the MNOLGs came out were able to play those with no problem, shouldn't the LEGO Group not have to dumb down these new ones? :| It could just be that the actual storylines of the themes themselves are less full and rich now, which is how it seems to me. Besides Hero Factory, almost none (that I can remember) of this year's themes have any more storyline than just a basic premise. I should have been more specific here, Lego did indeed cut Bionicle for having a too "in-depth" storyline, but MNOG was sort of a foundation for that story, or at least a large component of it. From what I heard, Hero Factory's story is more simplistic. I guess I should have thought of that... if LEGO did cut BIONICLE for its complicated storyline, then they wouldn't produce another MNOLG-like game.Personally, I wouldn't say Hero Factory is more simplistic, but they don't seem to explore the potentially rich story-universe they have in the same way that BIONICLE fleshed out its own.~ ~
