Hapori Tohu Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I hope you didn't have any plans for this Friday because you do now! On March 21st, beginning at 8:30PM Eastern, a group of BZPower Staff will be playing through the Mata Nui Online Game for your viewing pleasure. We'll even let you help us make some of the decisions! Watch as we fumble our way through a decade old game that some of us haven't played in at least that long. We'll be giving away prizes too, so if you weren't sold yet hopefully that'll tip you over! I hope to see you all then! View the full article 3 Quote News Forums Q&A

Removed297 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Ooh, such nostalgia. That and VNOLG have to be my favorite two BIONICLE games of all time. Rest assured that, assuming my chronic forgetfulness doesn't hinder me, I'll be watching this Friday! Quote

Indigogeek Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Lol, this got me thinking, I wonder if there would be any way to set up a "twitch plays pokemon" for MNOG, that would be interesting Or would it be even possible? being a mouse based game? Quote

Toa Smoke Monster Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I work that night, so I won't be able to watch. But it sure sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Zestanor Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Sounds great! I love MNOG. It's probably the most nostalgic thing I can think of. Especially the eerie music at the telescope.

Aanchir Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Mata Nui Online Game is still, in my opinion, the single best LEGO game of all time in terms of worldbuilding. It was thrilling, immersive, low-difficulty (you didn't have to focus too intently on dangers or challenges in your surroundings so you were free to take everything in at your own pace), and full of fantastic characters and storytelling. Mata Nui Online Game II did a phenomenal job fleshing out the cultural landscape of Mata Nui and giving the Matoran a unique and powerful value system, plus it had even more depth to its cast of characters, but its world-building potential was sapped by a number of factors: crippling glitches, tedious and repetitive gameplay mechanics, a fixed top-down view that cut into the original game's sense of immersion, and a lack of real emotional resonance. Mata Nui was at peace, and as such there was never any sense of peril like in Po-Koro, no sense of frantic hubbub like in Onu-Koro, and no sense of celebration like in Le-Koro and Ta-Koro. I might check out this livestream. I had a good time during the LEGO Movie discussion livestream last month.
