I don't really have any opinion of LBP, as I haven't really looked into it much, but please stop and think about this for a moment.

It takes months or years to create a 2 hour movie or 20-40 hour game. Authors spend months writing a novel that can be read in hours to days. I write music, and it certainly takes me longer than two hours to write a song that's five minutes long. I can spend days or weeks making something, refining and perfecting it.

I highly doubt this has anything to do with the game or the editors, it is more likely due the fact that anything worth playing/reading/watching/etc. takes time to make. The time required to make a level in LBP, according to your post, makes quite a bit of sense.

If you could throw together a level in a couple minutes, it would probably turn out bad. (look at the Smash Bros. level editor) It should actually be encouraging news to LBP fans that it takes a while to make a level, as that is a sign that the editor can probably actually be used to make good levels.

Go go unnecessary posts! Seriously, what's the point of posting something like that? I've always wondered this...

I was actually fine with this thread until the creator implied that because he didn't like the game, that no one else will and that it will end up with an average score despite already having a 10/10 review and getting positive response from nearly every major gaming site. And he doesn't even own a PS3, meaning that he either played it at a friend's house or he's lying.

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?

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.

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...

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.
