The number of people hating the new Sony PS3 game LittleBigPlanet has been growing in numbers, I am one of them and so is the PS3 Blog. The game was ok at first, but the more that people play it, the more annoying it gets.
Gary from PS3 blog decided not to carry on playing LBP as he thought he would save himself for the full game. He had hoped that the full version of the game would be much better, but it seems that the full version has left him more than disappointed.
He believes that as a platform game, LittleBigPlanet is flawed. The game is meant to be fun to play, but the controls often get stuck, which infuriates gamers. Gary from PS3 Blog hated LittleBigPlanet that much that he has now traded the game for Fallout 3 instead.
I had a chance to play my cousin’s game and I had fun for about the first 10 minutes, after that I was bored. One point of the game I got stuck and could not get out, it took at least 10 minutes to get out of it
Do you hate LBP?

Boohoo… Get over it and enjoy an even more glitchy game.
Wow…cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. LoL. I play LBP with my brother and friends all the time (I’m 29, and he’s 32). We have no such problems with controls. It’s just the feeling of the game, imo. No offense, but if you can’t handle the controls of a platformer, then you may want to retreat to something more your intellectual level…like Solitaire, or Go Fish.

My kids cant plaY IT AT ALL.
Every time they jump it over shoots and the sack boy walks another few inches and dies..
As a game for kids it funny that my kids can even come close to playing it, they are 5 and 6 years old.
PS3 will be finished in 2009. Few good titles, bad ports, no line up for next year, cost too much money, low resolution, who ever is in charge of SONY PS3 has no idea what they are doing..
The most unfortunate thing about blogs like these, is that some people will believe this story and miss out on a great game. The internet allows anyone to put anything they want to print these days whether it may be false or not. Although the story is based on opinion, someone searching for game reviews may stumble accross it, and actually believe that the game is flawed. Well, it isn’t and there are hours of great fun to be had in LBP. Just check the youtube videos if you don’t bleieve me. I’m not trying to say that the game is 100% quirk free either, but it is far from “flawed”.
Its funny how PS3 fanboys get mad when you dont say every game is a perfect 10, go buy 3 copies, best game ever made…They are so ignorant..
My kids cant play it either.
I had some fun with it for a while but it got way to annoying. Im surprised at the grown men on here defending this game but fanboys say every game is the best game ever made.
Hey people this is supposed to be for kids not 30 year old men…funny!
haha
I think u’ll find its desperation that leads Sony Fan boys to get angry at anyone who dares to have a negative opinion about LBP or the PS3 in general. I own a PS3 & 360 & i’m not particular loyal either way, and believe it or not they probably care very little to what we think anyway, I just go where the good gaming is. And right now that’s the 360. But just having such a blinkered view of the current state the PS3 is in & refusing to accept that the 360 has the better game now, isn’t going to make it any better all your doing is denying yourself some of the best gaming this Gen has seen. LBP is a good little game, very clever, but Sony didn’t do the game & themselves any favours when the announced it as the saviour of the PS3!!… it would take more than a sack boy right now to fix things, Killzone 2, IMO is the only game on the horizon I’m even slightly interested in & that’s beginning to wear thin. The PS3 is a great Media hub, but its not a games console at the moment…..maybe Blu-ray wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
You all are tripping..
I’m 29 and I think this game is great and is not just for kids. I’m a man as well, and what’s funny about that. I think it was made to appeal to all ages and genders.
Should I only be playing shooters and sports games or something.
LBP reminds be of my days playing the Sonic and Mario games. Which I still like to play even as a 29 year old man. LOL
Shoo.. I will still probably be playing LBP after I make 30. What’s funny about that.
Don’t hate because I’m having fun with a game and you aren’t.
Find a game you like and don’t knock others for liking something you don’t.
LBP is a great game and lot’s of fun despite some minor control niggles, the create mode and user-made levels also provide hours of entertainment that for once doesn’t involve fighting back aliens with machine guns or recreating World War II. I suspect your opinion is in the minority of people (apart from all the sad 360 fanboys that pretend to have a PS3 and hate LBP, like those scoring it down on Metacritic).
As for the comment about the PS3 failing in 2009 that is uninformed fanboyism at it’s worst! First off it’s selling faster than the 360 did at the same point in it’s lifecycle, and it’s due for a price cut in March according to reports which will boost sales further. And what’s this about no great games? You must have a funny definition of a great game because off the top of my head I can list:
Metal Gear Solid 4
Motorstorm 2
Resistance 2
KillZone 2
LittleBIGPlanet (this minority posting aside)
God of War III
Uncharted 2
Heavy Rain
Team ICO Project
Quantum Theory
Home
etc
etc
And those are just the exclusives, let’s not forget all the big 3rd party multiplatforms that Microsoft can no longer afford to buy off due to the size of the PS3’s GLOBAL user base like Resident Evil 5, Bioshock 2 and the rest.
What’s coming to the 360 how they’ve resorted to giving them away with 10 tokens from Breakfast Cerial Boxes? Gears of War 3, GTAIV $20 DLC? It amazes me people still think the 360 is the home of the big exclusives…
Do yourself a favour and stop believing the fanboys and the Microsoft PR machine.
As for dodgy ports they’re coming to an end thanks to more focus being given to the PS3, or using the PS3 as the primary dev platform. Which if you know any industry insiders is something they will tell you will only get more prevalent in 2009.
In general the resolution trick was used in a minimum number of ports where the 360 was used as the primary development platform, it’s just the 360 fanboy army polluted the web with stories about it. Did you know the same technique is used in Halo 3 which doesn’t run at HD resolution either? It’s funny I don’t remember such a song and dance about that…
Maybe you should spend some time getting your facts straight next time your 360 is away for repair with a RROD error…
