Why do people like LBP?

I've read the previews for Little Big Planet and I can't understand what the big attraction is to it. The only game I'm looking forward to before Christmas is Fallout 3. I may get Bioshock towards the end of the year as I've heard the story is worth the price of admission. LPB just looks like a typical party game you'd find on the Wii with the exception of being able to create your own content. Is it safe to assume that the sort of people who are going to be buying LBP will be people who enjoyed games like Lemmings, BUZZ, Worms, The Sims, Spore etc..?

At the moment I'm playing Oblivion on the PC. The only game I own on the PS3 is GTA4, which I thought was a masterpiece. I'm surprised LBP gets so much hype - maybe its something you have to see running or play yourself to understand.

No offence bro but you do realize that there are about a dozen other threads on this forum with almost the exact same title as yours right?

Only thing I can suggest is to look in all of the other threads and you'll have your answers.

Personally I like platformers, I like being able to create, and it just looks like alot of fun to me.

You thought GTA IV was a masterpiece ? Series ? Anyway , pick up a beta key and try it out.

Since you don't like it .. it's something no one should like? Man seriously don't waste the boards space with such pointless banter ..

But then again you thought GTA4 was a masterpiece .. and it wasn't even close ..

if the only game you own is the stupid GTA4, no wonder you don't like little big planet. lol.. it shouldn't even come to as a surprise to youself.

That is a very good question but this question has been asked not only for LBP but also for other titles that are out and coming out.

Why do people like MGS4?

Why do people like Resistance 2?

Why do people like COD4?

ETC.......

haha and dont forget

Why do people like GTA4?

ugh, im so tired of these threads....

either you love it or you just don't get it, Its about creating, designing your gameplay, you can make minigames, normal mario-ish levels, difficult puzzle levels, its up to you, if you dont like designing then you wont NEED this game, but itll still be cool for some just to see what has been created

i hate to make such hasty generalizations, but i think the people that dont get it are a product of hold-your-hand games, there is nothing wrong with it, but you are more a spectator of gaming than a free thinker. the games you play hold-your-hand as you play, and dont require much of you, a mindless pleasure if you will... you play through what has been presented and that is enough for you, alot of people, for example lbp players, just want a bit more. playing through someone elses vision isnt enough

again, nothing wrong with it, correct me if im wrong

Edit: this is poorly spoken, im not a writer

Grammar? That is the best retort you could come up with after this long?

I am very pleased you do not understand this game. One less gore happy twelve year old to deal with when playing LittleBigPlanet.

I already pre-purchased both fallout and bioshock, so this is coming from someone with your taste in (upcoming lol) games. And I really hate sims, spore etc... But I really realy want LBP and have since they announced it, it just looks so great and the possibilities for what you can do are ahaping up to be limitless... Wait till it comes out and give it a rent, only then will you know if you actually like or dislike it. We all know that sometimes games we criticize end up being sweet for a reason we didn't think of before the game was released.LightThief

I appreciate your reply and I might rent it when it comes out to see if it proves me wrong. My opinion was based purely on the footage I've seen so far and the previews I've read about it. It does not look like a next generation game, the mechanics remind me of an old platformer like Sonic or Mario on the Megadrive or Super NES. When compared with the likes of MGS4 and GTA4 (both recognised as 10/10 games by a lot of reviewers) this game - at least to me - does not look like something people would/should get excited about. I was merely curious why people are so eager to buy it. Might be worth a rent, I'll see how what the reviews are like for it first. If it is a success, maybe play dough and lego will make a comeback too and we can put our consoles away and go back to the good old days when you could 'be creative and just have fun'.

Seriously*

I just like the creativity behind LBP. It may seem to complex to some people or maybe to boring. There really seems like there is a lot you can do.

Its just an added bonus that we get to have our own personal Sackboy/Sackgirl.
