if he consider this poor gameplay

he should hate all platformers... and all other have weaker physics.

Better physics does not equate to better gameplay, in this case it makes sackboy look sluggish and unwieldy, therefore less fun. Physics is a better match for shooters, and other first person games, not platformers.

ya...the gameplay is the main point why we play a a game
LBP does not seem to satisfy people who really want to play games but not creating games
I mean,why are we doing this in a game?We are not artist,We want to play sports,shoot somebody and kick some ass in games,why bother doing something meaningless and tedious
2 hours for a 2-5 minutes video, come on~~~

Have you ever thought of downloading the millions of things people will create. It's not like you have to make things too. Lucky for people like you I actually enjoy making levels.

"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

I've played LBP so you cannot say that I'm being a fanboy.

OK first of all I'd like to say this: AMAZING GRAPHICS. WOW. The graphics truely are amazing and so are the physics. This truely does show off the PS3s power.

However...

The gameplay is not very exciting. Its basically like a 2-d sidescroller with good graphics and physics. It really is get from point 'a' to point 'b'. Now I know nearly all games are from points a to b but this game has it in a very bait way. Also the user created content is exciting but very little of it includes gameplay, most of it is just jumping and seeing the stuff happen. Where's the gameplay in that? You also have to spend a lot of time creating levels only for them to turn out to be roughly 2-5 minutes long. I mean whats the points in spending 2 hours if the level only turned out to be 2-5 minutes long? Overall while I absolutely love the graphics there isn't much behind it. I expect a average score of 65-80 on Metacritic.

1. You must hate all 2D platformers.

2. You obviously haven't played too many user made levels yet (though I find it hard to believe you've played the game at all). Have you tried the Wipeout level? Involiving a makeshift vehicle jetting up and around ramps until you eventually reach the end? It hardly involves just jumping around.

Hell, so far I've spent the majority of my time just palying random user made levels, and I've been having a blast! I thought I'd spend most of my time in create mode, but I've barely messed around with it so far.

Edit:

The Wipeout level...

Sounds like you're also describing Mario regarding the gameplay. point A to point B. saving the princess. getting kidnapped again and repeat.

The Wipeout level...

See this is exactly what I still do not get about the game. What exactly was done in the video posted above? It doesn't really look like there was any real interaction. I am by no means trying to belittle the game, I just still don't see the game play. Perhaps it can't be properly displayed via video. Obviously it's a good game from everything I've read, but every example I see seems underwhelming. Perhaps it just needs to be played?
