Am I the only PS3 owner NOT excited about LBP?

Despite the avatar, I wasnt very excited. But after playing the beta, its going to be too hard to miss out on this one. Its not revolutionary or one the best game games ever made, but it is very fun and a nice change of pace.

 

I think what you just said is a great example of the average user for this game. It certainly is a very fun game, but it's not designed like a traditional game, so it's very hard to compare or call it "better" that traditional games, even though it certainly has a higher potential for immediate fun.

I know everyone is gonna hate this example, and it's not a flame, lol...but this is the kind of reception and feeling I felt when I first got my hands on Nintendogs. I felt that it wasn't the end all killer app for the DS that it was billed to be by previewers and reviewers, but it was quite a fun game in spurts, and hard not to pick up a copy.

That game had a million ripoffs, and eventually got old. LBP seems to have a longer shelf-life, but we'll see about how many rip-offs come out in the next couple of years(Nintendogs also sold quite well, lest we forget).
