Are we to Critical Towards "Nubs"

Rate this Entry
I've been searching through the story levels looking for the Green circuit board. I could've sworn I'd searched every level and every corner of craftworld. But I realized I had been skipping certain platforming segments because I had learned legends and tales about LBP's darkest secret...........

The Community.

For the first time since i purchased LBP 2 I hit the "Join Us" Button when asked. The first time......ever.

I came across a duo of Sackpeople, just entering the level I had yet to check for the third time. And like the stories tell you. They we're decorating their Sackperson, what seemed to be by hitting the randomize button. After a little while I was getting bored but soon enough they started "Focusing" and we we're moving. They stopped to chat with each other often. And I didn't find much reason to constantly stop just to say lol or XDD. But I really wanted that Material so I trudged on. Level after level until finally. SCORE. I was ecstatic I actually started enjoying myself. I chatted with them. Shot them several times, I even started experimenting with excessive slapping. Eventually, we we're back in the POD decorating everything for the heck of it. And I said, "Wanna Create?"

"WAT?" I got back. "Create Mode." "WAT'S THAT" I paused. It was all I could do. "Follow Me." I said. I went back to my pod. And they followed. I went to my moon entered an empty level, and pulled out a single Jet Car. From LBP 1. (from the Canyons level) They grabbed on together and had a blast. I showed them how to use Materials to make shapes. They we're really happy. They started making hearts out of every material in their arsenal. And then i started thinking.

These are total Nubs.

But then I thought. "They haven't even heard of Create mode........It's like 3/4 of the game. Is that because.....their "Nubs"

I think we judge people who can't get a HeadShot on the first try or can't create a MM pick level, a little to harsh.

If there's a shred of Human Decency somewhere in the Cosmos, can't we just think a little less Kratos and a little more Sackboy. Maybe a 10 year old child is doing all he can to enjoy his time in little big planet. Without the worry of other people calling everything he designs a piece of terd. I think the nice people here at LBPCentral might be able to do this.

Thanks for reading guys, take care.
And remember: Play, Create, Share.

    Well you are exactly right. On most games this is a bit of problem, but I think on LBP and LBP2 they got it just right. The age range is huge, so you could very well be playing with someone from any age group, but for reasons I don't know, everyone on LBP and LBP2 is very kind hearted. We have a really nice community, and you are proof of how kind hearted people are to the less experienced.

    Not critical towards nubs, critical towards idiots and trolls.

    Agree. The biggest reason I don't play with others is simply the amount of time it takes me to chat. I have no keyboard with which to do it. So here I am texting away with a slower version of an old Nokia phone, lol. But, I agree.
    Sometimes when I would rate a level poorly in LBP I'd wonder if it was just some 8 year old that made this pile of mess of a level. I like that in LBP2 I am not forced to rate a level. I don't feel I have to crush some poor kid. As for me, rate me badly, I'm 36, I can take it. Just watch out for that Creatinator shooting missiles that's right behind you.

    Not as critical as I am of people who can't spell noob...




    PS, I'd accept n00b, or possibly nube, newb , but not nub, where the "u" should obviously be pronounced "uh", rather than "oo".

    Really? That sounds almost too unbelievable, to believe that they've even bought/played the game for this long without knowing what Create is is beyond me. But I'm not necessarily towards noobs. There was one time, where going through the newest levels page, I found one that was only dark matter, basic wood and basic sponge, but it was fun. I'm not saying it was good, but it brought me back to the days where that quality of level was the best I could do. A simpler time, when an outstanding level seemed like God's gift to mankind. Thank you, anonymous noob.

    I spelled it right. Nub as in (NUH-BUH) It's a different way of saying Noob. Which is pronounced (New-oob)

    "Nuh-Buh"? So you not only spell it wrong, but you pronounce it "nubber" as well? You crazy kids these days

    On occasion I might play a level named: my first level. Even if its junk i think its important to keep in touch with what we as creators used to call our little big masterpiece. I agree man, crummy is only one letter away from yummy.

    Speaking of which.....plz hart mah lvl cald TEH BSET lvl evah H4H.

    I think H4H is another thing that defines a........screw it I'm calling them Nubs. H4h is the easy way out wouldn't you say. It's really not as rewarding, but again an 8 year old child makes something. He loves it, maybe he doesn't exactly know what H4H stands for but he sees that levels that put that in the name have big numbers. And he likes big numbers, that's when we start dumping on him. And it makes him feel sad. In a worse case scenario his parents see it and they get upset resulting in the kids ban from the game (it happens) or the junk mail gets good griefed. I don't mean to preach but we really should just ignore them. It makes both parties happier. Wouldn't you say?

    I don't like 'shortest lvl in lbp' either... It's not the shortest, there's a glitch for no checkpoints... Crush your checkpoint!
