People are never going to see LBP as a success

No matter how good the game does commercially (1.3 million sold in 8 weeks), or Critically (metacritic if 95) the game will never be seen as a success.  It's a shame too, since the game is so freaking awesome.  

This community would rather downplay the game's success, and call the game a failure because of the hype (not the game's fault), rather than look at it on it's own merits, a new IP, which sold really well on the PS3 and has that high of a metacritic average.  We'd rather look at this game as not a success, and continue playing Generic Shooter A, Madden 2020, and Traditional turned based JRPG 1,922,498, instead of praising a new IP for doing something different and what some would call innovative. 

So I am never going to defend the game again, and neither should you 

It's a success commercially, and critically, and that's all that matters.

 

I hope they give LBP a story. Because it still has nothing on Mario or any Nintendo platform. I found Donkey Kong Country to still to this day be more enjoyable.

 

the history of mario for the last 20years+ was to rescue the princess that it's a another castle.

and i hope you played lbp to know what the story is about who the collector is.

 

They have it at the gamestop where I live. I tried it but didn't like it. The jumping around was fun and creating, but it got old quickly. Mario reinvents the path of rescue so I'll continue to play it.
