I'm sure most people have considered this, but as there is no evidence to suggest that they are working on the community interface of the game. OK they fixed up the search bug after (how long???), but the hearted list bug remains, a serious bug that should be a priority fix, but no, they let it linger.

Yes, it's possible that they are working on improving the community side, but with no evidence and no communication on this front, expect people to assume that they aren't.


I'm curious how little DLC is bought by the masses. I mean, these are kids that have access to PS3s and I'm sure not all of them are using daddy's PS3. They certainly didn't buy that for themselves, or the game, so it's reasonable to assume that they are having DLC bought for them too. Some of them will be spending pocket money on it, so the assumption that they are not lucrative is a bit of a stretch. Especially when you consider the sheer quantity of them.

In honesty, I disagree with most of what jump_button posted in the OP. The crap on cool pages is what people want to play, same as the crap in the charts is what people want to listen to and the crap at the cinema is what people want to watch. Same thing with the ratings, they are based upon mass opinion. Repeat plays do need to be taken into account, although I agree a shift in weightings or a repeat:unique plays cap should be in place. Water is a fantastic gameplay addition, I can only asusme anyone who can't see that is mental :p DLC doesn't make this game so I'm not fussed about how often it comes. There is too much to work with in this game and if anything, extra DLC is stiffling creativity more supporting it.

Categorisation is a must though. I'd trade a whole year's worth of new in-game features for that. It's the only thing that's lacking in this game IMO.

At least the crap at the cinema looks pretty...

Indeed. And if this is what actually got them to sort it out, they got it done very fast. So why the months of waiting when it was a relatively quick fix in the end. I can only assume they didn't care enough because it was part of the community interface. That's why I'm sceptical of chimpskylark's overly optimistic view that MM have a massive range of community fixes in the works :)

Can you put that into a sentence that is understandable please? :p My point is that I doubt that the DLC bought by the cool pages / H4H kiddies and their parents amounts to an insignificant amount. Remember plenty of the adults don't buy a lot of DLC too, through choice. At the end of the day we don't know, but I think those kids are contributing more to this game financially that people give them credit for.... At the end of the day we don't know, I just think that it's quite a large assumption that the tiny minority of players are buying all the DLC. Hell, plenty of the people in the more mature group with more refined tastes don't buy much DLC either...

Doesn't matter. Reread the passage you quoted. Your individual viewpoint pales into insignificance when faced with mass opinion. People do want to play the survival challenges and general crap on cool pages. A lot of people do. So Poms original point implying that people don't is completely wrong.

ok..............

My opinion (not that it matters)
Mm, in my opinion, doesn't care enough about their adult community to implement changes into the level system.
There care more about selling pointless costume after costume to their 8-year-old fanbase.
I, myself, am only 15, but I try to avoid as much of the community crap as possible, and try to dig much deeper into the community to find worthwhile levels.
My suggestion is that which is already implemented; a community outside of the community (such as the many fansites)
We need to bond together more, focus improving the community as a whole.
Ignore the H4H'ers, they will be gone soon as they get all the trophies.
Ignore the bomb survivals, they will eventually die out.
Wait, and in a time not too far away, I think LBP will be stuck with less and less n00bs, and more and more great creators and level lovers, such as ourselves.

Will they? Even the "OMG TEH SHARK SURVIVAL WIT REUL WAT0R$$$ H4H!" couldn't overpower them, now we just have slightly soggy bomb survivals :grr:

Wow, it took this long for someone to finally agree with something that I've said to myself and several others over and over again? God I feel so happy right now! ^^*

It could be worse.. We could have the MW2 community, and you know what they're like...

You forgot the details ;)

Lol, thanks! :D

You better hope they keep making costumes and that people keep buying them or this party really will be over, for good. Without that, there'll be no intermittent patches, periodic upgraded features and packs, and eventually a total lack of consumer support so that keeping the LBP servers online is just a waste of money.

Never that. Look at it from my perspective... I would love to play even the stupidest bomb survival level right now, as long as I had LBP heh

What happened to all those Pixar costumes and Marvel costumes?

Never mind those, give me my Final Fantasy costumes!! :grr:

Wait, Pixar? I'm all for Pixar costumes, hell yeah buzz lightyear.

Even though it would be like a recolor of the space suit, maybe.

i dont like final fantasy.

After reading the first post, I feel a bit sad now.:(

piskar cossumes? i wants it. i wanna be the old man from UP. heck yes!!!
