>>7928823The story is childish and never goes anywhere, the progression the characters get feels really stupid, main example being Rocka.
Visually it's been said one of it's inspirations was Ratchet and Clank, problem is it seems like they tried to make HF more like the new ones than the old. The sets should had tried to own a more industrial than high-tech aesthetic, everything being just smooth shapes gets boring fast. It also deals with gappines much better and I'd say aesthetically 1.0 heroes nailed the look, even if they sucked as sets, especially the other half with their laughable gun arms. Almost everything after Breakout sucked major ass and can be almost entirely blamed for budget cuts and the decision to bring Bionicle back, however I wish they had in advance thought about introducing some elments that would had been more in line with G2 In Hero Factory already during the design phase of Invasion from Below, why we couldn't have a simple limb with some piston texture and no balljoint attachment in the middle is beyond me when they made use of one bone piece for only one wave with the skeletons.
