If you think about it the negativitron is a pretty useless baddy, I mean if I was a Quasi Stellar Space Hoover I'd make sure I sucked everything up BEFORE moving on, but that's just me...

I think the Negativitron was just a lying baddie.
If this was truly the case then not a single one of us would have completed story mode yet :(Quote:

I don't really think that the speech was actually a direct comment on each of the Curators, to be honest. I mean, most of them do have one trait that stands out, but I think the whole idea is much more general than that.
Basically, any negative trait that we have forms the Negativitron. Much like how our dreams and creativity forms our own LittleBigPlanet.
To me, when you kill the Negativitron, you're removing all of those negative aspects from all the Curators - for example; Clive perks up, and becomes happier and Avalon mentions working as a team (instead of his normal, self-indulgent blabber).
But who knows, really? The speech is very open to interpretation, and I guess LBP is all about doing what you want, so we all have our own ideas on what the speech means.
Either way, it was awesome, and the story in general was just a whole lot better than what LBP1 offered. At least it actually seemed like there was a story. I had no idea what was happening all the way through LBP1, lol :D
My cat certainly is... What's your point?Quote:

On the subject of the Negativitron representing the bad aspects of the LBP community:
I agree, and we can go even further with this concept.
The Negativitron was born from the bad aspects of the community, and it began absorbing everything in LBP. It became a dark twisted parody of LBP, with a hero finnally defeating it.
This could represent how around the spring in 2010 the community took a huge nose dive, from which it never really recovered, and good levels were rarely seen, and it was pretty bad.
Then, with the release of LBP 2, MM hopes to cleanse the community from this. (And from the looks of it, they probably will succeed).
Those Chickens haven't hatched, let's not count them just yet. Believe me, I pray you're right, but it's just too early to be sure.Quote:

To quote Jessica Rabbit - "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" :p
*boils eggs*
:boo: Er... What?!
I think what Media molecule was trying to portray is that Negative ideas are denser so they create a mild mind gravitational and pull the less dense creativity towards itself; you learn to live with the lack of creativity by blaming it on the tools, or the community, and because the imagisphere is constantly spinning the dense stuff is thrown to the outside where it collects and melds into an ethereal nightmare state; a new realm of antipossibility...
Right, so we actually need something like the Negativatron to hoover up all of the H4H/Copied/Empty/Rubbish levels of LBP.
He was actually doing us a favour... Who Knew!? :D:p
Truthfully, when I first saw the Negativatron I guessed he was going to be revealed to be the vacuum cleaner that appears at the end of the semi-live action intro sequence and sucks up all the stickers which mutated it somehow :pQuote:

And to think, all of this could have been avoided.
Hoovers come with an OFF button you know!
I reckon the Collector was just doing a little spring cleaning, and forgot to turn it off.
We must make a positivitron!Quote:

Sackboy is nothing but a puppet in the eyes of the curators.
Not only a week into the game have their been Community Levels popping up from LBP1.
FREE COSTUMES NO LIE 5000 HEARTS AND I WILL OPEN THE BOX (he has more than 2000 hearts, and counting...)
and the LBP2 problem...
FREE RARE POD GLITCH FOUND BY STEPHANIE_RAVENS (even more than the first)
sad days indeed
You can use the Edit button to modify your original post,
We all knew that the community would devour the new craftworld, As is Humanity, All we can do is sit back atop our LBPC fortress waiting until the days when the trolls manage to clamber up the steep steep walls, ... I need to get this on paper...
STEPHANIE_RAVENS , shes back??????!?!?!?!?!?!?
I think the negative things about the character makes the negativitron, I think this true and look at the name.
Stephanie Ravens promised many people she wouldn't spam the cool pages?Quote:

What I think he meant was that everybody had a dark side, and since LittleBigPlanet had infinite time amnd space for something terrible to happen it would, and in the "If you destroy me you destroy yourselves!" He meant that they'd have to die in order to truly destroy him, because then there would be no evil to create something like him again.
What bothers me is that the Curators never really face their demons. Everyone is magically a better person because they exploded a vacuum? Honestly, I thought that would leave Avalon even more arrogant than before -- in my opinion, it isn't all that humbling to save the universe.Quote:

First thread I come to in nearly a year and somehow I'm in it. :D I was hyped for LBP2 mainly because I heard of the story, I wasn't disappointed; It kept me hooked till the very end.
Yes it was good.Quote:

That last bit at the end was... nvm, this is off topic. Hopefully I won't have to speak like this here on LBPC..
Yeah, at least in comparison to LBP1 it was a story that kept you in, unlike random country hopping for all these weird coincidences.
*mutters something*
My opinion
Negativitron is drived from the word "Negative" which means to express negation or denial
as for the negative aspects of the charictors
Da Vinchi-Quick to Anger
Victoria-Puts blame twords herself
Clive-self-Denial, depression, and lack of bravery (Kind of makes sence that he had to servive two years with his factory turning into a war facility by the negativitron)
Avalon-Thinking he is awsome when he is not
Eve-Wanting way to much love
Higginbottham-my have made one or two bad creations/Ideas (Oh come on! he had to have made a mistake at least once!)
and also
me-Doubtful, wanting things I can't get, Hatred, Depression, and Quick to Anger
The game also has a powerful message.
The negativitron was "Made and created" by the alliance's member's bad points. In the end, tough the negativitron claims that they willl be killing themselves in the process of killing him, the lesson is not only to keep dreaming, nor is it teamwork, but it is how eventhough we have negatve aspects about ourselves, we can still pull though
That is my opinion
Erm... I think were all forgetting the Dr.Higgenbotham was the curator of the Negativitron world, and negativitron boss himself... Pretty shady if you ask me!
To me, the negativitron is just a big suck up. *:P
I think it's a commentary on all of the stupidity that goes on with the LBP community actually. Much like how the Collector was a comment on how you should share and be friendly, and the MGS pack had the Trophies machine that just created trophies.
It was a level cloner in MGS pack, but your point stands.Quote:

Basically, don't be insecure, vain, self-absorbed or bad tempered... which is kind of sweet.
I don't think they would have to die, just destroy a piece of themselves; like cutting off a finger! You're still fine, just missing a piece, and who really wants to be missing anything! None of the characters where 100% their listed trait. It's just a part, a negative part that we really don't need, and evil doesn't see the whole picture, just what it wants and is focused on, that's why the Negitiviton thought they would have to destroy themselves! Nobody died, except the Negitiviton!Quote:

I mean, it was the Curators that made his existance, with their negativity.
So just as "all of our imaginings go up the cerumbilical chord to form an ethereal dreamscape", so too our negative thoughts coalesce to form nightmarish baddies.
It's not the baddies fault that we dreamed them up, and they are what we make them.
And then we go and destroy them mercilessly.
So tell me... who's really the bad guy?:confused:
[spoiler]It's the Negativatron, isn't it?[/spoiler]
"Oh no! His main power is teaching us morals! RUN!!!"
WE ARE THE TRUE EVIL!!! hehehe Sackboy is just a fluffy little ball of PURE EVIL.Quote:
