The reaction I get of LBP: "What's the point of this game?"

[QUOTE="signore"]

whenever i play this game with non gamers, or people who havent tried it is... usually confusion.

Its always "whats the point of the game".. "what do you do?" ... they cant get why i would play such a kiddy game, and really have no reply. And then we shut it off and play FIFA or a shooter. 

When I do try to explain the community aspect, and how you create and share levels its always pretty embarassing when i show a user created level, and of course they are garbage.. and then again im asked "is this it? you paid $60 for this?"

This game completely failed at its attempt to draw in casual gamers, and its far too shallow and not very user friendly for hardcores. This game has sold so miserably because it doesnt know what it wants to be, and lacks identity.

I'll give it until January, and if nothing is done about it I'll likely sell it for a real game, one that has "a point".

I cant believe IGn gave it a 9.5

You gave into others opinions .. you have let them influence you on your take of a game .. they've made you second guess your purchase, when really you shouldn't have ..

It hasn't failed to pull in casual gamers .. because thousands of casual gamers have been sucked in .. just because your friends haven't, doesn't mean others haven't .. you and your friends aren't the only people on this planet ..

I don't personally like the game .. but the game has brought back, the old love of video games .. whether you like it or not ..

Oh and Signore .. what do you like?  Anything?

Fallout 3 starts off real slow .. oh so slow .. I expected more out of it ..

Well Sony claims a lot of things .. it's all word of mouth, and the hype was huge behind this game .. I knew from the beginning that I wouldn't enjoy it ..

You've lost what was once a love for a game (LBP) .. but that isn't abnormal ..

Theres plenty of games that I loved at first, and then hated just days later .. but I still don't feel the need for a post on this forum, just looks like a bash man.

You can be negative .. but I usually love reading your negativity .. ;)

i completly disagree with your statements, of course not everyone will like this game but i showed it to 3 friends from work, who all by the way bashed it for weeks on how kiddy and stupid it looked and these are guys who only play sports games by the way and they loved it and have all purchased a copy. i also showed my girlfriend who has never been interested in any game ever except mario when she was young and she cant get enough so non games do like this game you cant base it on just a few people.

Pretty sure he's already told you what he liked. He stated that LBP is becoming less fun over time. He also questioned the score it recieved - no different to half the posts on this forum. You've all stated your reasons why you like it, he hasnt flamed you for your opinions yet you seem to be looking for reasons to flame him for his.

MusashiSensi.

man are you related to dave chapelle? haha legendary uare identical!

Yeah, I remember back when I was six and got a NES for Xmas. Then I put in Super Mario Bros. and was like "What's the point of this game?", turned it off and never touched a video game again.BenderUnit22

I personally loved the game at first and could not put it down, but now I just pop it in every now and then and have some fun with a level or 2 then do something else. That to me seems worth my purchase even if i do not play it for extended periods of time it is always fun to come back to.

Given it has only been a month, and this may not hold true a few months from now, but I believe it could.

you should get banned, or suspended or something. All you do is post boost, with dumb responses, or your attempt at humour. You contribute basically nothing to any thread you post in.. dont you have anything better than to post in EVERY single thread with some poor attempt at a witty response?

you should blog it...

all my friends are having a blast..ive made some mini game levels....very addicting and great party levels

all ur friends probably like sports and killing things

Umm...yes it is.....If it isn't then it is very hard to understnad. :S 

Thought I'd drop by to say that I just picked up LittleBigPlanet and I love it so much.

Sackboy is adorable, and I don't know what kind of friends you have Signore, but me and mine are gonna have a ball with this.

Yeah my friend was like : "what the ....?" when I bought the game.

My girlfriend thought it looked cool and cute. I thought the same, but I still wasn't 100% sure of my purchase like with Fallout 3.

So I guess I'll just open it and give it a try.

I bought LBP last week with a friend. He is a Xbox360 player and he was a little jealous. His words: "We (Xbox360 gamers) don't have that".

I told him you could create your own levels. He was just a little bummed that you could not create levels at the beginning. We had to play through the single-player levels first. Before we got to the create a level, he got to go home.

While playing the single-player I gave him the 2nd controller, that alone was awesome for hime, because he loves coop. I didn't even show him how you can create a level with 2 players.

My friend also see how fun LBP looks and what makes LBP special.

It really depence on the person wether he/she likes LBP or not. But I think most people are to impatience, and won't like creating and sharing levels.

Did you mistake this thread for one of those billion Home threads?  

It is a game .. 

i´d never buy LBP. not because it is a bad game or anything, but i really don´t like plataformers. i think it is a bit overrated yes. but i really don´t care much. people should always read and inform themselves on the game before buying them. this expensive generation begs for such sort of action. you can´t shell over 60 bucks on crappy games (they can be crappy, but as long as you like them such as DW6). i don´t doubt it is a good game, but it is a sort of niche game i´d say. i do prefer shooters, or anything a bit more violent or realistic. but hey that´s just me. it doesn´t make the game any worse ou better.

I tried to play LBP with my 11 year old (girl) cousin today, she wasnt really digging it. She wanted to play FIFA instead wtf haha

Nasty_butler_9

Yeah, I might, but just because you and Signore don't like it doesn't mean I won't.

I'm still working on story mode and I can't wait to finish so I can make a level. I mean, I could do one now, but it just wouldn't feel right having the game being left unplayed.

[QUOTE="Litmin"]The point is to make and customize you, and your maps. And play other peoples maps.It has unlimited creativity and imagination, i play it when im tired of shooting peoples heads off in my shooter games.And it has unlimited replayability, you can make new levels or play other peoples levels.signore

yeah, thats the tagline i hear "unlimited replayability"

but after you sift through the hundred of "FREE TROPHIES" or some song level (who wants to "play" a level with someone recreating a song?).. youre left with very empty levels, usually something that has a rocket or ramp. Unless im the unlucky one who is always randomly left with these levels, im not seeing anything near "unlimited replayability".

Obviously you haven't looked past the front page of the "Cool levels" section. There are HUNDREDS of levels out there, some may be crap, but a lot are fascinating. Try the ICO level, or the Sackboy Begins, or The Azure Palace.

The free trophies, song levels, and ramp levels I agree are a waste of space, but there are a lot of awesome levels to find if you use the search function instead of just looking at the front page.

Magatsu23

i don't care about LBP, but that's just me. I can comment whether this game is overrated or not (and i think it is, lol), but in the end my opinion is irrelevant, and should be irrelevant to those who enjoy it, and there's a significant portion of people who do. That's it, end of story. i really don't see any reason to dwell on this issue. some like it, some don't, for whatever reason that may be (replayability, price tag, point ). you hate it? sell it off and curse the day you bought it, maybe you'll learn to rent before buying if you'e iffy about the game; you liked it? good for you, enjoy yourself. But as soon as comments like "i don't see why people like/hate this" or "why did this site give it this score" emerge, as fun as it is to part of that discussion, it becomes an endless argument, with no resolution in sight. It's pointless and accomplishes nothing, but hey at least people can express themselves, so i don't really mind. In this case i don't really care becasue i haven't formulated enough of an opinion about LBP, so as far as i'm concerned it's garbage, :P Rakuho

Why?? WHY did you bump this??? :cry:

Yes, believe it or not, it can that simple. Because I'm having a lot of fun with it.

By the way, just as an example, what's the point of CoD WaW? what about Fallout 3? If you are happy with saving a town made up of pixels, or if you are happy with killing pixels that are shaped like soldiers, you are still having fun. Your problem is that you don't like the game, which has nothing to do with LBP getting a 9.5 or it being a good or bad game. (I find CoD4 really boring, I hate the Orange Box and Resistance 2, but these games are still categorized as good and great).
