lol don't tell me that people are actually excited for LBP?

Except "making" is one of the best parts of "playing" when it comes to this title.

From Edge Online's recent hands on impressions:

 The same can be said for just about any game with a level editor. Forge on Halo 3 has unlimited possiblities. Timesplitters 2 level editor has infinite possiblitites. Heck, Doom Builder has more possibilities then all 3 of those games combined.

SSBB even has infinite possibilites in its level editor.

How is 2M modest? 2M is a massive success for all games (apart from big budget sequels like GTA4, MGS4) let alone a new IP. A team of 37 developed this game. This is certainly not a massive budget game. 2M would secure massive $$$. 

Yeah but with the kind of level editor LBP has, you can create games that arne't even platformers anymore. They resemble them in some fasion but are complete different.

I've made turn based RPGs in a game like this, racing games, rythem based games... you name it.

There is way more that can be done.

The only real downside is that it appears you HAVE to use the sackboy as your avatar and can't make your own.  (Not sure how enemy and boss building works.)

^ Or, to put it more nerdily, LBP's infinity of possibilities is much bigger than the infinities of those other games (except maybe Doom Builder, which I don't know enough to talk about).

[edit:  And since I'm at the top of a page, I might as well mention that I dislike inflammatory baseless hypotheticals like the OP.  Or, to put it less nerdily, What if your mom?]

That's the whole "I don't buy engines, I buy games" argument, which I agree with. However, Sony fanboys would tell you that the game actually has a full single player game built in.

However, if that's the case, and the single player game sucks, then to me, the game sucks. That's the sum of its judgement to me. The single player content, and maybe the local multiplayer.

That said, even though this game is probably gonna be exactly what you and I expect it to be, it'll still get rave 10/10 reviews, just because previewers and reviewers are the same people, and previewers have painted themselves into a corner with all the hype they've spread. They no longer feel they have the right to criticize the game, so it'll get near perfect scores everywhere.

I'm sure it'll be a fun little game though. Like Nintendogs. Expect it to get the Nintendogs treatment from critics, and fans. For a while, it'll be the best thing ever and get great reviews. Then it will get old. Then there will be a thousand devs emulating the game for DS and such. Then it will be made bitter fun of, and looked down upon by "hardcore" gamers. This isn't exactly Diablo II. No matter how high the ratings are, some people just aren't gonna like this. Like Boom Blox.

This same exact thread was made by someone else, people hate LBP atleast nintendo fanboys I mean, sorry let me not categorize anyone.

People that cant play the game do.

I would be very pissed.

Oh yeah, if this game was on the 360, I know the Anime-Avatar crowd would just be itching to spend their 60 dollars on it.

Believe me when I tell you, despite your apparent attitude, there are a few people with and without a PS3 that don't want to play this because of a reason other than "It's a PS3 exclusive."

Not everyone wants to play Galaxy, not everyone wants to play Fable 2, not everyone wants to play Boom Blox, and not everyone wants to play Twilight Princess, and not everyone wants to play Diablo 3. People have different tastes in gaming. That doesnt' mean that people "hate" LBP(though I'm sure a few do), but generalizing everyone who isn't necessarily interested in the game as a PS3 hater, isn't right. I love Disgaea 3(Yes, I've played it quite a bit), I can't wait for Resistance 2, and hell, I'd even give Killzone 2 a shot, even though the first one sucked. MGS4 was one of the best games this gen. LBP doesn't appeal to me just yet, and it's not because I "hate the PS3." Even if I did hate the PS3, that wouldn't be a reason for my non-hype for this game. I wouldn't buy it on 360, I wouldn't buy it on DS, I wouldn't buy it on Wii or PS2. I'm not trying to marginalize the game, it's just not my type of game, and there's no way in hell I would be jealous of someone having this game, lol, if I wanted to play it, I could.

....and yes, this topic is an unnecessary repost.

I was wrong before about a game. GTAIV. I played it, and reviewed it, gave it a 9.5/10. If I'm wrong about LBP, I'll do the same.
