I bought Little Big Planet 3 (PS4) yesterday and finished it today already.

It's not even because I played the whole day, the game is just really short!

After 5 hours I already beat the main story of the game...

And going for 100% is impossible without a second player....

Why is the game so short?

Are the community levels a justification or is this just another cash grab?

Paying 65€ for 5 hours of content is really a lot...

Little Big Planet is ALL about the user-made levels. The single player is really just there to check a box on the list.

And I couldn't do that in LBP2 because...?

The story is more or less a glorified tutorial to get you comfortable with branching into the plethora of post clear content made by the community or yourself.

The game should really be 29.99 at most.

You could. The question is why did you buy LBP3?


who buys the game for the story/levels etc that is included?
Imo  Little Big Planet never had anything to offer other than the create mode and the community creations.

Yeah I agree...

Should have just bought LBP2 for 10€ instead...

Cant you just return it?

Because its not that type of game. The story is just for the sake of having a story. The community levels and co-op is what people pay for.

The real meat of the game is the user made content. Go play some zelda.
