I can't even believe how awesome this game looks. I mean, it's absolutely ridiculously awesome. Stupidly, outrageously awesome.
The way people's opinions are so radically split over it amazes me. I guess you naysayers have a very different psychology than I do. Or maybe I've seen something in the game that you just haven't seen yet. Or maybe you're just trolls who come out of the woodwork to criticize whenever something becomes popular.
Niche game my ass. This is the most accessible and all-ages friendly game I've seen since Wii Sports. The comparison to Eye of Judgment is so inept I hardly even know how to begin responding to it. Eye of Judgment was a trading card game, one of the most specialized and reviled entertainment sectors in the world among adult gamers -- the very definition of niche. If you can't tell the difference between that and this, I feel sorry for you. LBP is a game I bet I could get my mom to play, and that's saying something. And while someone like her would be entertained by the charm, simplicity, and cooperative gameplay, I'll be able to spend years tinkering with the user creation aspects, the way I played with The Incredible Machine every day in elementary school.
You guys are predicting a flop. I predict this is going to be one of the PS3's all-time greatest hits, with sales and support steady through the PS3's entire life and beyond. Sony is going to turn it into the PS3's mascot game, showing it off in all the advertisements and in every store display. When you meet someone in Home, the first thing they'll want to do is go have a game of LBP with you. When the PS4 comes out, they're going to keep the servers for this game up because the community will still be booming. This may turn out to be the PS3's single breakthrough product, more than MGS4 or FFXIII.
We'll see who turns out to be right.
