Funny cause it was sold as a "Make your own platform game."

Regardless of what you see it as.  That's not what it was sold as.

It was advertised as a "Create a Platformer" game... it's clear as day from all of the ingame stuff, dev interviews and other videos they posted before the game was released.

Your the one who's opinions have changed since then.

The tags were "imagine being limited only by your imagination"

Not "Hey it's like a lego platformer!"

Heck we didn't even know levels came with the game till months after it's announcement.  People thought it was going to be ALL created content at first.

 

The reason I disagree with this is because I was never once under the impression you're giving off with this post.  I don't know where I was when the game was first being talked about - I thought I was here - but I never once remember assuming it to be a 'make your own platform game'...and I never once assumed it didn't come with levels of its own.  I never read anything that ever gave me either of these impressions, and never assumed you could literally create any game you wanted to.  I've always been under the assumption that it was already a game that you could merely create levels for.  Maybe I just didn't read into it.....at all.  Because the way you make it sound is like everyone was under this impression and everyone was let down.  Me, nor none of the people I play the game with were ever under these impressions.

Nor was I.  I always new that the level creator was a fundamental part of the game, but I was never under the impression that there wouldn't be a healthy single-player experience with quite a few levels already in the game.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
