LittleBigPlanet Beta

[TheBadass]

I just got in through total luck, and am downloading it now. The total time it took me: two minutes. Hell yeah.

No, this thread isn't just to brag (I'll be showin' it off tomorrow, after making some kind of pimp mobile) but to call out other lucky bastards, so that we can join together, feel smug and maybe play the game together or something. So, Escapist, anyone else here care to join me in LBP goodness?

The beta codes are being given away by IGN right now, so act quick.

YOU BASTARD

I already entered the IGN beta give away, I sent them an e-mail for one of my level ideas but It was more of a first come first serve. There was also the X-Play give away but I didn't enter because I thought It was going to be like the MediaMolecule beta.

And guess what? I didn't get one because I never posted on their god damn blog! Just once and I would have gotten a freakin' beta! ONCE!

God, I'm pissed, but i'll see if i can get some PS2 games to keep me occupied.

 

[TheBadass]

All you need to do now is click Sign Up and you get a code. Go, man, go!

 

[Jumplion]

I had to have posted on Wednesday October 3rd I think to be able to get the Code.

*sigh* god damnit, I was screaming at my computer monitor when I read that!

Are you in Europe? I'm at IGN right now and it says EU only.

I guess I can just make a EU account but still, no loophole is available for me right now.

I'm not that crazy about the Beta since it ends on Saturday though...

Brainstorming ideas here though. [http://liquidlurker.com/gpf/index.php?topic=11693.0]

 

[TheBadass]

^In the UK, and Saturday is still better than nothin'.

Fifty percent, as it's being too damn slow...

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Yeah my top reason for wanting to get in the beta is to get past the learning curve so I can dive right in at release. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff to wade through in LBP.

Oh, and you may want to try to optimize your PS3's internet receiver if you're on wi-fi. Put it an an open area and get as close to the router as possible.

 

[Jumplion]

No, US here. The IGN e-mails closed a while ago, and the MediaMolecule give away said you had to post on or before Wednsday.

Still pisses me off to no end.

You mean that one?

Edit: Nevermind, closed now. Woops.

Can someone please explain to me what little big planet is and why it's such a big deal?

It's a game where you build a little obstacle course for your little sackboy to go through, I don't really get why people are so excited about it, but somebody must.

You bastards. Naw, I'm just kidding, could you imagine though?

Well if we're pulling out Family guy references, then:

Have you heard?
I thought everyone had heard, that the bird bird bird, the bird is the word, the b-b-b-bird bird, the bird is the word

I know the "You Bastard" part is Family Guy, but I don't remember the "Naw, I'm just kidding, could you imagine though?" part.

But we're getting off topic here.

Ive done 4 levels of the LBP Beta and enjoyed every second ^^
Havnt tried the creation bit yet though.

Steven Fry is awesome in it, a true Brit

And maybe read an IGN preview or something. People aren't just randomly throwing praise at the game, it's pretty damn impressive if you actually sit down and play it.

 

[Crunchy English]

I love the concept, but I think the hype machine might be a little high.
It's like TFU. The Force unleashed was a GOOD game. Note that, good, not average.
But you hype it until it's supposed to be God's gift to Star Wars fans, and when it arrives people are disappointing. The reviews are luke warm, and lots of used copies float into the stores over the next week.

LBP seems like a similar deal. Here's a GOOD game, that we should all be thankful for, but because the PS3 corporate thinks it needs a big system selling game they crank up the hype levels to 11. Now I think some people are going to be disappointed, even though the game is great in someways and adequate in all others.

 

[TheBadass]

^Judging by reactions to the beta, I'd say the hype's perfectly warranted; I honestly haven't seen a negative reaction about it. It could be the next MGS4, actually living up and surpassing the hype people thought would screw it up.

But I guess I'll find out tomorrow, when this damn thing finishes downloading...

I fail to see how being able to build your own levels is interesting for any but the sect of gamers that enjoys modding and building anyway.

The whole idea is that it's fun to do, and easier to access other people's good ones than in classic PC games. Anyway, I'm not gonna try and convince you to like this game, previews and stuff should have done that already. If they haven't, maybe you're one of the few who it just isn't right for?

85% done.
