Man, I can't wait for this game. Of course, I suppose that's kind of weird considering my Wii's been collecting dust since early October, but hey...

first day buy for me

The trailers speak for themselves, it's gonna be awesome.

Kinda ironic that with all the anti-casual attitude that PS3 fans usually have on these boards - one of the most anticipated PS3 games is an uber-casual one.

I think a lot of the complaining was more because OoT was unseated by a game that wasn't really revolutionary--people felt that GTAIV was just an update of an establised formula and besides that, had technical glitches and gameplay issues. As such, it shouldn't be the best reviewed game ever.

LBP, however, does look revolutionary and different, and is a tpye of experience that only recently could have been created. A game where levels, characters and even objectives can be molded however you feel is so far beyond any previous level editor or Sim City style building tool that is might as well be a completely new experience.

If LBP is able to work as well as it should work it might be deserving of the Best Reviewed Game Ever mantle, and probably wouldn't be the subject of nearly the same amount of uproar as GTAIV. When a game does that much and is so new in it's style, most people, I think, will realize sometimes you just have to tip your hat to a deserving champ.

Of course, as I said, it is way too early, and it might not have as much to it as it seems to have, and may just be a great game and not amazing. Still, the potential is there for so much more. I guess we'll see.

We're not anti-casual at all. We just get in a tizzy when we see shit like Carnival Games outselling Metroid Prime that makes us feel like a gaming world ruled by Nintendo would ruin our favorite past time. Oh, and let's not even bring up Wii Fit....

Uber-casual? Not even close. It has a balance of casual and hardcore elements.

I hope this game is really amazing when it actually hits the shelves, because it's being hyped like crazy.

There's no better way to provide disappointment to gamers than to have a game hyped to a level it can't possibly deliver.

You are a wise man. 

I don't think any game gets negative impressions. At least not until days before it's release.

Either way. It's likely to be the best game on PS3 this year and the best game on the system period. I haven't heard many people contest that. The only contention is how it'll sell.

Look at a lot of people in this thread.  At first the weren't that interested, but the more they hear and see the more interested they are.  

This games success will depend highly on advertisments and word of mouth i believe... because it doesn't look like your average PS3 game.
