holyshit.. bought 3 ps3 games in a span of 2 weeks.. thats it no more.. Resistance 2 can wait next year

i got my copy of Little Big Planet at EB today.. bunch of the stores already got their shipment last night..

there is only limited amount of non pre orders copies.. when i went to Eb richmond centre, they only had about 20.. the rest was pre order..

anyways gonna try this sucker later..

:werd: 60 gig ftw

let us know if LBP is worth the hype
then maybe i'll pick up an used copy :P

LBP is a platformer..

u need to look at the background of the game to know what the hype is about

but to sum it up in general.. people are looking forward to the user created levels that anyone can make and upload to the global server.. that is the main reason for the HYPE

LBP's gameplay is indeed a platformer, it cant get any simpler than that, any old school gamers who played 2d mario, or Sonic, or DKC would appreciate the gameplay this game has, collecting things on levels, solving puzzles, find hidden path etc... there is a single player gameplay with several levels, but its more of an introduction by developers to give anyone ideas, on how to make their levels..

its a simple game.. but this one is a gem.. look at the youtube vids for the gameplay, if you like what you see, pick it up, if you think its too simple and not worth ur $60 then no loss.... official game reviews for the game will also tell you the same thing..


btw, anyone got the game and having problems connecting to the server?

^ my gf and I got LBP and are having the same problems connecting to server, same with another friend of mine. I think it's global for now, they released a patch but that did nothing for online.

And I think you are bang on about the hype thing, even playing the creator created levels is fun with a friend on the same console!

I'll probably pick up LBP in a couple of weeks. It'll give users time to create levels and server issues should be resolved by then.

I'm passing on LBP. I had the beta and didn't think it was that...

Picked up Socom and I don't know what it is but I don't like it. I didn't really like COD4 either...I used to love FPS but these two just didn't do anything for me.

I dunno....maybe I'm getting old...

I think I'll see if I can find a cheap used copy of Ratchet & Clank....

just found out that the LBP servers arent up yet..

because shipments werent expecting to come this early, so assume either on tuesday or later in the week, they will be up and running

im just trying to get through the "campaign" in LBP... even the offline levels are pretty good, its addicting to collect the bubbles and the stickers.. and trophy support FTW!!!!

but ya, they need to patch up the platforming controls on Sackboy, jumping seems a little off for like a fraction of a second, and sometimes i would die for no reason on some part of the levels..

so whats the deal w/ this game? its been released early?

nvm, called EB richmond center and they said they had 12 non-preorder copies left

LBP is amazing!!!

you guys have any tips on speeding up the wireless of the PS3...? am i gonna have to DMZ this thing on my D-Link...? LBP's 57MB update is taking more than an hour to download which makes absolutely no sense...

that's cause the server is flooded

GT5P update took me a week, surprised?

PSN is free for a reason

:D

i'm pretty sure it has to do with his router too

i just dl'd the new patch for socom..and that came out yesterday so i know it's in high demand as well
it was like 500mb...i dl'd in an hour.

PS3 has a G wireless only, so it is capped at, what, 1m/s even with Shaw extreme?

More like 54.

I knew, but that's what they advertise on the router

I should have put mb instead of m, my bad :D

WiFi G is plenty enough to saturate Shaw, so I wouldn't worry too much about it

my ps3 is always disconnecting with this new siemens router that telus gave me...so annoying

my ps3 disconnects me a lot too... fucking horrible.
when i moved out my roommate brought his shitty microsoft router though, and i left my linksys w/ my parents.. could be the reason as well

my ps3 got sent in a couple of days ago, same problem, drive won't read shit

damn, got like 2 games recently too
saints row 2 and guitar hero world tour
gonna give it more time before i get LBP so there will be more created content

how long did you get your ps3 for?

less than a year
don't remember exactly how many months

yea I noticed the wireless on ps3 isn't that good,,, I plugged a wired connection now,,, and now problem solved.. all those dc and slow speed while you're gaming online.

where can i get LBP??

^EB should have it
