Well, I have the game for almost two weeks now and honestly, I don't see where those review scores come from. I just hate that they force me to play a platformer with the analog stick because they felt the need to put facial expressions for sackboy on the digipad. You can't even see them on those tiny figures. Also, tilting to look up/down. Wtf man? I can't lie down to play because when I lie down hes looking up all the time like a retard and when I lie on my back hes sucking his own dick? I don't need this shit, I just want to play a platformer and be in a comfortable position while doing so!
The platforming itself is mediocre. Immersion and flow is broken all the time by stopping and having to drag something around via touch screen. The physics are not as bad as I thought it would be (first LBP for me) but it's certainly not tight either.
I'm sure the Level editor is great but I feel like 99% of people are too impatient to build their own levels and I am part of those 99%. I started the editor anyway, saw the 60 something tutorial lessons and was like
Long story short, I think japanese people definitely have a case in not liking the game. It's certainly not unfounded distaste. It's probably my first and last LBP game too, outside of bargain bin acquisition maybe.
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
