Like said not as high as other LBP games is not what I was expecting. Not saying the game is not good, its just not a must have. Glad at least I have my WiiU while I wait for the first must have PS4 game.

Let me guess, it's bad because it's just as good as the other ones.

Game-breaking bugs.

After the 90+ Meta of the first two it really looks like they let this slip. Or, review media has gone a little cray cray with expectations. Probably a bit of both.

Media Molecule should come back to LBP again TBH. Sumo is doing fine but unlike MM, they're just adding more features instead of innovating.

79 with 17 reviews now.

They already are. I'm sure they'll announce something on Playstation experience. But that doesn't mean they can't go back to LBP. LBP doesn't have to be the same game in every new game for it. I'm sure MM can think of a different approach to LBP while retaining it's play, create and share concept.

Review embargoed to launch... and game-breaking bugs?

Is this a Sony title or an Ubisoft one?

7/10 from Shack News with this highlight comment on metacritic:

"This is the most daring the series has been so far, but it's still very much cut in the cloth of Media Molecule's pre-made pattern."

Seriously? How is being cut from the same cloth as its predecessors somehow a bad thing? Esp if they have been daring. Perhaps it's a bad representation of the review over all, but bast on that sentence, even with a greater use of the 10 point system than in the past, it sounds like an 8/10 comment at least.

LBP was never a killer app kind of game, but it was nice during the PS3's time to have a top class family friendly game. If the metascore at all reflect the quality of the game it's a shame to see this series go from top class to merely classy.

And this from a 5.8/10 score: "LittleBigPlanet 3 is still a charming platformer and creative sandbox at heart, yet without the full attention of Media Molecule, it feels like it sorta lost its soul."
Charming and a bit soulless is a very hard thing to achieve. Again perhaps not a representative sentence from the review as a whole but seems out of touch with the score.

OTOH game breaking bugs on the PS4 version is not good. Anyone know what those are?

IGN reviewed the game without patching it, and even mentioned so in the notes.
