seriously. the amount of fun...not to mention the fact its all being done to Battles (music) capable from this game is astounding. FUN. thats all and that should be enough =)

Yeah I played for the greal levels AND to save the girl......what is with that look?..... so what if I had a wild imagination....

There was this really great game premised around playing really fun platforming levels somebody else made, and it sold really well. It was called Super Mario Bros.

My point being, just playing levels that somebody else who isn't a developer made isn't any better than playing levels that a developer made, and it is often worse because the developer has more polish. In order to get the full value from LBP you need to 1: Own a PS3, 2: Like 2D Platformers (Which are a dead genre outside of portables), and 3: Want to create levels. There are going to be people who meet all 3 criteria and they're gonna love the game, but I just don't think it's mainstream.

OTOH, I disagree with the OP as just another troll.

we already had a thread like this yesterday.....

And no doubt there will be a thread like this tomorrow too.

I don't understand why you're having such a conceptual issue with the idea of the game. If people want to have a story they certainly can, have you seen the commercial with the level on saving a princess? The overall game may not have a story (that remains to be seen as far as the levels given with the game) but each level can have it's own story. I don't see how that's any worse than an overarching story that is almost never touched on at all. Super Mario Brothers was certainly fun don't get me wrong. But emotional and meaningful storytelling it is not.

To be fair, the concept is fairly hard to understand, and when you are eventually forced to bring up the fact that a large portion of this game relies on online connectivity and other friends who also own the game, it might be a harder sell to the demographic, than say, Mario.

There is a probability that most of the people who purchase this game, and don't have access to PSN, will possibly end up dissapointed.

We should make it clear to potential purchasers that to get the most out of this game, you need an internet connection that can support PSN. If you don't have one, then the game just isn't gonna be as good. That's a fact that's not true for many of the best single player games. MGSIV, GTAIV, FFXIII, Mario Galaxy, Zelda, and DS or PS2 game, these games aren't vastly improved with online connectivity. That's not a point, but it's something to keep in mind. Adding online as an extra feature is one thing, requiring it for a complete gameplay experience is another. Just ask the people who signed the petition trying to get Mass Effect to drop its online registration requirements.

It took 37 people to make. I can't fathom it not making a profit.

Will it sell 4 Million + maybe... maybe not.

My guess would be 2 Million unless it was bundled.  But hey,  I hope i'm wrong.  These "Create" games are only second behind SRPGs in my favorite genres list.

If they ever make a SRPG maker I may never need another game ever again.

That's bull Zen, many games require online capabilities to fully utilize a game. Any game with online mulitplayer would fall under this category and therefore MKwii and SSBB should have the same kind of warning that you think might be necessary for LBP.

The game will come with 50 levels straight out of the box, and even if you can't connect to the internet you can still create your own levels. Not having online only takes out the sharing part of "create, play, share" mantra that the game is based around. You will still have a full and complete game even without an internet connection. It's true some may be disappointed, but only if they go into the game expecting to be able to share their creations and gain more from others, and if they know that much about the game they can probably surmise that it will take an internet connection to acheive.

Many people are underestimating the developers' ability to make fun levels with their own engine. I think that very few people will be disappointed by this game, what I've read about the levels that come with the game itself is nothing but encouraging.

I SOOO agree with you...wait..what?...

lol...what a pathetic OP...

I think it'll sell though...just...not as much as it would sell on a certain other...console
