oh and creating stuff gets boring because how retarded the tools work and how limited they are. im sure anyone who has played the game can at least admit to that, and if they can't then i guess we know who were dealing with
and yes the servers do still have problems and if you want to call it "server maintence" or whatever else you/they want to call it w/e because i call it servers DOWN, which means i can't play during that time and thats my point. just about every other time i decide to play i either can't log in after the game loads or it happens while im playing. if i were to put a mathmatical number on it to be fair id say up 70% and down 30% and that 30% is annoying as heck and as stated earlier makes it not even worth putting the disc in to find out if its going to decide to work because ive already beat the story mode weeks and weeks ago

I've had the game since launch, put in well over 100 hours, and found the servers to be down once in that entire time. You have simply completely missed the point of the game; anyone can beat the story mode in a few days, so well done you. The story is nothing but a precursor to the creative side of the game-an opportunity to see what the engine can do. The creative mode is exceptional-you can do almost anything with it, and make some fantastically clever levels with it. The entire point of the game is to make levels, upload them, and let others experience your creativity. Yes, it lets you do what devs do, in a much simpler way; but then a lot of people would love to work in the games industry and don't have the chance, either due to a lack of ability to code, or simply missing the opportunity. This is their chance to fulfill their dream, and to show off what they can do.
Let me ask you a few things:
First, when was the last time you played and enjoyed a game where you didn't get to kill anything? To be honest I think that your taste in games says more about you than anything. People who can't enjoy the subtler sides of the media worry me somewhat.
Second, do you use Youtube, DeviantArt or Flickr? These are chances for people to upload their work to the internet and let others view it, and are all stunningly succesful. Yet do you criticise Youtube for not having pre-uploaded videos so that its users don't have to? No, of course not-if anyone asked you why Youtube didn't already "come" with videos on it, you would tell them that they had missed the point. However, this is exactly what you have done with LBP.
Is Youtube "just for kids"? Of course not, so what makes you say that LBP is? The fact that you can't kill things? Again, this simply puts across your juvenile and crass view of media.
If you argue that it's LBP's cartoony graphics and fairly simplistic gameplay that makes it just for kids, have you ever played the early Mario games, or Tetris? Most would agree that these are some of the greatest, most revered games ever, but they are clearly not just for kids-thousands of people of all ages enjoy them.
first off yes i do have a creative mind and thats exactly why LBP fails horribly as ive stated many times before the development tools in the game are complete rubbish.  i was a heavy garrys mod fan till valve bought them or w/e happened there. and purhaps that add's to my feelings towards LBP because they clearly got the idea from there and not only did they not build on it they couldn't even match it!  and not only that but because the gameplay is so simple (so children can play it) makeing the levels becomes pointless because hence its so limited in what you can do, and so irraitatingly slow to use.
 and if you've only found the servers down once, then all i have to say is COUGH******** COUGH good for you.
and no the entire point of the game isn't to let others experence your creativity, its to have fun. which it fails extreemly well in the level creator because of how clumbsy and limited the tools are to use. and LBP was sopposed to be more than just a level editor...so youtube doesn't make much sense, and we paid for the "game", and that was sitting right next to R2 and the others....and if you do wanna call it just a level editor then why the heck did we have to pay for it when im sure there's still free versions of gmod that let you do so much more. the level editor in the game is just a complete failure, the one and only thing it has going for it is the monsters

and if you read my posts very carefully, i said it was a kids game, and just because adults laugh when they play it, doesn't change the fact. im sure lots of adults laugh when they play shrek too. and im not sure if your the guy from the other thread that mentioned mario, but ill try to remember my response about that, it went something along the lines of mario was like MSG4 back in the day, and the systems from back then were just how games were. sackboy was intentionly made to look the way it does. all the jokes are from the middleschool and lower. every single thiing about the game is geared towards kids and it SCREAMS IT. to say its not a kids game is like i said identity issues. and i never said just kids play it im just saying it is indeed a kids game in design. Â
oh and you forgot about pacman, that game is great too.
