Little Big Planet - Gen. Discussion & Info

did you buy it yet smog? I think some people probably weren't happy w/ the delay, but probably not enough to affect sales. It has had some server issues from what I've heard. But most likely there's other "bigger" titles coming out this holiday. Especially with the sony crowd, it caters to the hardcore gamer. These kind of games are sort of niche I would say.
 
I think sales will turn around. word of mouth will prove that and the game has long legs that will most likely extend beyond a year at least.

everyone I've shown/let play wants it badly and loves it. most of them now plan on getting a PS3 due to this game.
 
Yeah I got it a couple weeks ago. Sony did not advertise it nearly enough. The servers suck but that doesn't even matter. Everyone who sees/plays it loves it yes, but tons of people dont even know about it. My friend who has a PS3 (no online) called me and asked me if he should get it. I couldnt believe he didn't know about it, since he is a Manager at Target. Makes me sick that a masterpiece like this hasn't even hit a million in week 1. Honestly, and I hate to say this, if it was on Xbox360 it would be up there with GearsofWar right now.

I do agree that sales will continue for the next 5-6 months maybe but that will still be not enough.
 
I think the sales are probably fine considering that this game has the potential to have really long legs.

I do know a lot of people who said they were going to buy the game all the way up to the week of the original release- and after the delay/confusion just bought something else. Now they are busy playing Dead Space, Bioshock, FallOut, Spider-man, etc.
 
They're likely sharable up to 5 systems. LBP group GO! :)

Soo looking forward to walking around as a plant! I just dread the upcoming conventions and expos... since they will likely do "exclusives" there as well.
 
Ya I for one will probably not buy any of the additional costumes unless some licensed sports teams come out. 2 bucks for a skin is a bit unreasonable to me.
 
I agree. I think the coustumes are a little pricey and won't be getting any of them. Besides, I'm sure they'll go on sale at some point.

As long as no one else wants to join that doesn't have 100%, you'll be good to go.
 
[quote name='smiggity']I cant believe how low the sales are for this game. Sony should be ashamed.[/quote]
Wait, did I miss this info?
 
I'm looking for CAGs to play with. I need help getting 2x and most importantly, help passing the second stage of the islands. (Can't beat that stupid boss). I have a headset, but you don't need one (but it would be pretty helpful). PSN is RonaldHennessy. Right now, I'm usually on around after 8pm eastern.
 
[quote name='ChibiJosh']Excellent.

I still need the 3x and 4x stuff- heck, i still need some of the 2x stuff.

send me a message to know what time- unless something comes up i'll be there. (Oh, and i have a headset).
 
Can't wait for Old Snake and Sephiroth. Some other sweet costumes would be Mega Man, Bomberman, Cloud??? Or how about "Naked" Snake? And I don't mean the character from MGS3 ;).

Anytime you guys are ready. Also, you should all add each other if you don't already have the Party Person trophy.

What's the boss like? I can't remember.. I should be on tonight if anyone is up for co-op in a few hours..
 
[quote name='icpmattj']
Also is anyone else having problems when playing online.

It will tell me a new person is joining and they never do unless i restart the level or if the middle of a level i will get the verifying server host message and a failed to load game message and then i gotta shut the game off and back on to play agin.[/quote]

I've been getting some of those problems. Plus, I've been getting loading screens popping up for a second or two mid level while playing online with friends.

And the lag.....oh the lag.......it's been making some parts of the game almost unplayable. Even when we're all hanging out in a friends pod and just bsing or whatever, there are times when the framerate drops to almost zero.
 
Sorry about that chibi. I was wondering why people couldnt find my jetpack on my level... I had it hidden behind the wall (secret path), but I changed it. :)
 
So I hear, if you say some swear words in your level, the whole text line is replaced with "************" I was wondering why two of my text bubbles was replaced. I wonder what sounded like a curse word in that sentence. I heard a guy got his whole text taken out because he said, "cockpit".
 
Oh my, the spamming of "connection problems to nballard" that was a weird disconnection/crash. :(

Online is so broken :(

Ugh and I'm missing one item in the tundra with no clue where it is at.

Yea- after josh timed out at the end of his level- i froze and never recovered. Like 5 minutes later i saw the inside of your pod, and a second of a level, and the screen blacked out.
 
anyone know what the nariko theme looks like? supposibly bestbuy gave out codes to download a theme aswell besides the costume code...
 
I tried playing some online last night, and it was horrible. Is it due to the Euro launch? I know it's said constantly, but they REALLY need to get on this. It's unbelievable!
 
I have a couple of codes for the Nariko theme if anybody wants it. It's basically a picture of the Nariko sackgirl in the middle left part of the screen, with some LBPish stuff I guess. And the icons stay the same, but are all different colors. It's a bright theme.
 
I just played the Lost Vessel and was really impressed. Nice work, DarkNessBear. The whole intro sequence and lighting throughout were amazing, and the limbs scattered around were a nice touch. :) Also, best zero-gravity sequence since the real Dead Space!
 
I cant get the fancy chart to show up on here. Looks like they are at around 800,000 sold right now. Still a joke IMO

nearly 800k, mostly non xmas gifts, in the current economy... on a game that is only a keeper if you have an internet connection to the ps3? I would not classify that as a joke by any means.
 
Either my connection really sucks or the servers for this game are horrible still. I keep having the loading screen pop up in mid game when playing online with others and at times the framerate STILL drops to almost nothing.

For such a large release, you would think they would have some of these bugs fixed prior to the game coming out.
 
yeah, i wish the servers were better. when i was playing the beta before, the connection hardly ever lagged.

I'll take one of those Nariko themes, if you have them left...
 
Here's a problem i run into

On the level The Dancers court from THE TEMPLES

There is 40 items to find.I have found 39 of them and can not for the life of me find the last one.I even have the offical game guide and counting all the prize bubbles in there it only lists 39 as well but the game says theres 40.So which is it?
 
Did you ever get the one that's on top of the head and behind the turban of the very first guy in that level? Didn't find that one for a while.

I'll look into that one.For some reason the guide doesnt show the location of every single prize bubble on the map layouts in the guide.I know of one other place in the level thats theres a prize bubble for sure and on the map it shows nothing in its location.

u know near the end... where there is a rippling snake of fire, there is a triangle hole in the wall maybe near the middle, if u havnt gotten that yet u have to jump into the triangle hole and go left and there should be 1 prize bubble there. not sure if thats the one u are missing.
