I want people to buy the game because the more people that have it, the more unique levels that go into the LBP community..

 

Unique does not equal good. Sorry if I sound a little jaded, but I've played a pretty fair amount of user created levels and I've maybe found two I liked. The rest are music levels, themed levels that have only slightly more gameplay than the music levels, and thrown together garbage.

Yeah, i haven't been wowed by the platforming either. Hoping the create a functions are enjoyable though... or i enjoy the platforming more when i play with my girlfriend. The cuteness of the game and the not being able to die permanently should keep her occupied.

It worked for Lego Star Wars.

I'm afraid you can and will die permanently in LBP.  If you want something that easy you'll have to go with PoP.  It's prettier too.

 



...

Go LBP. :D



Well, darth is a nice person. I don't think he will be nasty on twesterm's sig and avatar...

...unless he puts it into voting, that is...

No kidding?  That's yet to occur to me.  Probably due to the floaty physics.  Eh, she'll get better as it as it goes i'm sure.

I think one of my problems is i'm not one for "Speed runs" and that seems to be a big part of the platforming element of LBP.  Speed runs and racking up modifiers.

resistance 2 will not break 1.5 million before 09 :P



^It'll come close, though

Am I the only one who is slightly shocked that LBP is outselling Resistance 2?

See, this is what I mean about advertising being everything. A well-advertised game not aimed at the PS3's audience is outselling a not-so-well-advertised game that is exactly a PS3 owner's cup of tea.

Sorry twesterm the bundles made you lose

Don't hate.

Give up this crusade.  You were incorrect.  LBP is a major success, whether or not you'd wanna believe it.

where is hate in his post? he only stated a fact...

i guess you hate the hate?

 

Every game is bundled so no game can be successfull according to you ? I could choose practically any game to go with my ps3. Hence any game is bundled. You can also get a bunch of games bundled with the wii and the 360 so by your definition no game is a success by itself.

 

 

official bundle

 

Doesn't matter if it's official or not. I can go into almost any store and get almost any game. That's the point when official bundles doesn't mean anything at all anymore.

 



Check out my game about moles ^

Why do people bring up the subject of bundle as if it was something unexpected? The bundles were announced well before the release of the game and many of the prediction on BOTH side of the fence took that into account.

Anyone who bitch about how LBP sale is due to its bundle, especially those idiots who made a low prediction and are now finding excuses are either ignorant or cowards.
