Forums - Gaming - Epic Fail: Games that will Probably Suck

Griffin said:

LoL, you guys and your hate for LBP is just funny. I guess you guys must have hated every 2D mario and every 8bit and 16bit platformer. Then you guys go and bash user content because all you can make are levels with cocks all over the place, not everyone is like you. Most people will make great levels and have fun playing them with friends.

 

And lol at you people that for some reason think LBP will sell oodles and oodles.  Don't get me wrong, I think it's going to be a good game with a great level editor but the community is going to be lame and it's just not going to sell because it's too cute for the PS3.

I was actually at a bar last night and they happened to have ESPN on where they kept showing the same PS3 commercial at every opportunity.  I happened to listen to the people near me and they cheered and loved the idea of the baseball and racing game that was being showin in the commercial but they scoffed at the idea of LBP.

Sure, the people on this forum will know that LBP isn't a bad game, but the people that hang out on forums like these or scour the news sites like Kotaku aren't the masses, it's those people in the bars that are wondering what that kiddy crap is being shown with their cool games.

Also, it's not really right to compare LBP to any other traditional platformer.  A traditional platformer like your Mario games has a purpose or goal and LBP does not have one other than to share and is completely user driven.  They are two different games.  Similar yes in some aspects, but still very different.

I can kind of understand the LBP criticisms, if only because its an unproven idea and these can always be risky. However, I cannot understand why they would think that a Bioware RPG would suck, surely it'd be like predicting that the next Pixar movie will be horrible.

Well then make you own goal in LBP.   Jump throught some platforms defeat the boss and save the princess.

Yeah, that's one level though and not a game (I almost made the mistake of writing level in that post originally then I knew some smart alleck would say something :-p).



Prediction: LBP will be a very good game.

It will sell well but not huge numbers and won't move hardware.

People will use those numbers to show why the PS3 only sells gritty hyper-realistic games like other people use No More Heroes to perpetuate their beliefs about the Wii's audience.

Those people will be wrong too.

What an idiot LBP is gonna be amazing



other than LBP that list is fine, im looking forward to LBP, its gonna be great



LBP could suck, sure, but you could easily make a list with 10 games far more likely to suck than LBP. Putting that on there is just stirring shit up to get page views.

I agree with most except a few. First of all if he's admitting LBP will be fun to work with alone then that should be enough rather than getting other's user created stuff. That logic just doesn't fly with me.

Secondly people need to stop knocking on Sonic games. Thirdly hardcore media sites need to stop knocking on casual games just because they are meant for someone else, aka the Imagine knock up there. If it's selling then its obviously what they want so deal with it.
