I think it's more a bad implementation of the feature more than anything else.
The community in the game is not used to be a feedback one. LBP never encouraged reviews and giving feedback to other people. Per example, me rating your feedback could give you points to use of unlocking something or again for a reputation rating that would in turn give you more influence on the community (per example, your ratings and reviews could gradually increase in influence in the algorythm of the cool level pages therefore you would have more influence in making the best levels the most popular ones).
Anyways, right now nothing incitate people to write reviews therefore it's going to be rare it happens. It is indeed not different enough from the comment section and it's also too complicated to go deep in the menus and read them anyways. The classification and rating system in the game is also too ambiguous and not flexible enough for the review to matter or influence anything.

I wish they would have kept LBP1 levels on a separate planet.
My impressions have been luke warm so far. The "story" levels seem like very basic tutorials. It looks like they are targeting people who have never played a video game before with a section showing people how to jump over an object. I can't see myself ever wanting to play them again, unlike the first game.

So far the single player has been outstanding, it keeps refining the tools you're given and finding new and interesting ways to use them. The story mode was just a way to get new materials in the last game with creation and community levels being the real draw, but so far I think this game is worth it just for the single player alone.
I'm having problems with the online stuff though. I haven't been able to get a single co-op game running yet (I'm either refused or it fails to connect) and the community wouldn't load. Is that a problem for everyone or am I just having bad luck?

Great idea, but I don't think even that would function, seeing as the thumb up/thumb down for the reviews is not given on merit, but more on... umm... I have no idea based on what people give their ratings to other people's reviews. :/
For example: level Gnome Cave has a review: "It's pretty." And it gets 10 happy and two sad faces. Review "How I go after "LBPcentral" sign?" gets 21 happy faces and 9 sad. Another level Vile Anchorage has a review "very excellent!!!", and the review has 3 sad and 27 happy faces.
Oh well, I had high hopes for this system. -_-

yeah i noticed that my sackboy is looking somewhere else. the sixaxis is kinda funky for some reason.IMACOMPUTA said:

Rear view mirror? Never saw anything like that, but did you adjust the screen size at the beginning?
Also i'm really starting to appreciate the logic shortcut switches. Score emitter actually makes those bubbles useful too. Could even incorporate some kinda power up/ search for items mechanic with that.
I was excited to start playing this when it arrived in my mailbox this afternoon, but sadly it doesn't work with my brand new PS3, and I've tried it 10 times. It installs the game data, then freezes right after and I have to reset the console.
Just for the hell of it, I tried it on my old 40 GB model, and what do you know, it works perfectly! Too bad I'm giving the old one away, so I suppose I'm stuck waiting for a patch or something.

how many GB are left on both console? i doubt it has to do with that. you should check if any other controllers or device is turned on or make sure the controller is input 1 and/or unplug anything in the USB Port. IDK if that would matter.Neptune said:

Anyone? I've tried three more times to get co-op going and two of them were rejected and one of them failed.
Another question, how does the circuit board for sackbots work? I put another chip on there to change his behavior but I can't seem to figure out how to set any priority between them. I'm in the tutorial and it didn't really clear things up, but I'm messing around with one guy set as patrol and if you get within his awareness radius he will follow you. The patrol one works, but I can't seem to get the second chip (follow) to work.

Stupid (very) general question: how big can user-created levels be? I mean, they've kinda sold the changes in LBP2 as a 'platform to create your own games', but how elaborate can those actually be? My son and I watched an iso hack-n-slash in one of the previews, and that got us thinking. I mean, could you have something that progresses from level-to-level and takes, say, hours to complete? I'm expecting the Moon and stars, aren't I?

I use 1080p normally, but the TV makes a "jump" and tells me it's in 720p when the game is launched. Both consoles were connected with the same HDMI cable, just swapped it between them.
DMPrince said:
The 40 GB was recently formatted and reset, so it's clean and empty. The 320 GB has about 250 left. Only 1 controller is active, and nothing is connected to the USB. Oh, and the 320 GB hasn't had issues with any other games so far, and I've played Gran Turismo 5 and Red Dead Redemption earlier today.
Thanks to both for your suggestions, I wish I didn't have to deal with this! I was really looking forward to starting, but it looks like I'll need a patch and/or a miracle.

can the dlc packs (metal gear or pirates of the Caribbean) be played through LBP 2?

Not really, in one they felt more like actual levels with guides throughout. Now its just a character telling you what to do and then you performing a task to try it out. The first couple levels you are just walking to the right on a flat platform to the next lesson.

They can be quite big. It really depends how the level is made and what happens in it. I played tons of platformer levels that are lasting like 20-30 mins to complete. It really depends what you create.
And you could make something SUPER LONG if you'd want by linking levels like stages in a real game. But each level is of course taking one of your 20 publishing spots on the servers so you actually might not want to make a 80 hours adventure spread over 10 publishing spots...

thx that was so amazing.
Alright, story mode is done. Now I can take this shit back to Gamestop and get some trade in value.

Anyways, it was great. LBP1 had a decent story mode, but there were some kind of rough and frustrating moments, but I didn't experience anything like that in LBP2. The levels just feel better and all the new abilities made it feel fresh. Really good stuff, but it's not even the tip of the ice berg.
I'm going straight into Create, after I refresh myself with all the tutorials. I'm full of ideas right now, it's pretty exciting. My first level idea (at the moment, at least) is a Inception/The Cell-ish psychological thriller were Sackboy must enter the mind of an insane person and pass through his varying levels of psychosis to get to the core and learn his secrets. I'll probably never pull that off, but it'll be fun trying.
* Weird question, but is there any downside to using a lot of level links? I ask because I always struggled with using space conservatively and planning ahead in LBP1, but leveling linking from area to area (especially in the level I'm planning out) will make it so much easy.

I tried a few times to join a co-op game, but all 3 times it got stuck in loading. I could hear them talk, though, it got close. Someone did successfully join me, but before the end of the level he got stuck in loading hell as well.
Hopefully MM can iron this out fast cause I'd love to play some co-op soon.

i don't know really. TBH the are quick tutorials. they go real fast since they have like 15-20 minutes. We are better off at least learning or wait for someone to create a more in-depth tutorial on youtube.Filldough said:
