I figured that's what I had to do, but I couldn't even swing more than two times before dropping, and I let go of R1 for just a tiny amount of time. Maybe the controller's a bit empty... or my reflexes.
Oh well, I got it hearted, I can retry some other time. :)
just a suggestion on swinging. hold down the R1 button, pay attention to your sackboy's body, when its swinging forward, that is the moment to release your R1 button... once released. press and hold until you see your sackboy's body swinging forward again.
with practice you can even do this without releasing your joystick, press forward and hold your joystick, then tap your R1 button as you move along, while still paying attention to our sackboy's body.
if you still cant get it...
the other way to this obstacle is to jump on the lowering platform itself (where the prize bubbles are seated), you are to place your self in the back plane and jump when the platform is in its lowest point. its not meant to be like that, but i decided to leave it alone in case some people cant go through it.
on another note, i suggest practicing on create mode. just get a straight grabable material, put it above ground and do the instructions ive provided. goodluck! :)
This is a very good level. The theme is perfect, the level plays very good and smooth in general. I only played once and without any glitch like i read somewhere.
Highlights:
- What makes this level a bit odd is the level of difficulty at some points throughout the level, hard enough to make any casual gamer quit the level (take the race as a good example)). Thou the creator helps by placing multiple checkpoints at some difficult spots, the obstacle becomes annoying very easily.
- There were some soldiers scatter throughout the level that will shoot straight for almost a minute avoiding you from making a move.(or maybe i was sleepy and wanted to get over with it)
- Is not a huge level but it will take you some time IF you insist on completing the level.
- The Boss: Is a good Boss, one of the best i seen, too bad most people wont get to see it. Very Dynamic, it felt real and cool. It had a few lovely stages which i love.(We are seen o lot more interesting BOSS since LBP's ray appeared)
In short, making a challenging level is more difficult then it seems. Is very Hard to keep a balance between challenging and interesting. On this level the line between challenging and hard is blurred-out (I know this from personal experience with my levels). How?
The levels stars interesting and intriguing, you go deeper into the level and starting to like it, and all the sudden you get to this annoying spot that gives you a feeling of quiting the level.Some annoying spots:
[SPOILER]The first electric Steps, The Race: the spot on were you have to jump a electric wheel from a moving platform to another, and a few other spots on the race. [/SPOILER]
If you guys saw this boss and liked it as i did, Checkout my level "The Little Big Planets" and select the HARD mode(planet) and try my boss with multiple stages, and tell me what you think...
thanks for the feedback snakeED, about the annoying spots, perhaps i can do some adjustments to what you have pointed out especially the jumping from a moving platform over the electric gear, also the fist stairs section would probably get tweaked aswell.
im glad that you find the boss Metal Gear Karas to your liking, it took me some time to make a 4 stage boss that would sorta transform like that.
thanks again for the feedback. :)
Hey Graygoose! Had no idea you were on lbp central! (It's *cough* me. Y'know... the crazy guy off PSN...) I was privaledged to have played your level when it was first made, and agree with everyone else that it's great!
Just finished playing. Dope level man, I loved the challenge and the epic feel of the boss. Great stuff indeed.
LOL im surprised to see you here too man im glad tho. lol im glad you felt good about playing my level in its raw challenging days, but judging with your own created levels i dont think you had too much problem with it since were both like the difficult ones.Quote:

its a whole new level now tho and its been dumbed down alot, but even still, theres so many that finds it very challenging.
im glad you liked it man... watch out for my story driven level coming out in about a week or so.Quote:

Hey, I'm agreeing with everyone that this level is awesome, although I did manage to break your karas:
When it starts firing missiles at you, I managed to hit one of the mit the paintenator just as it was emmitted, it blew up and (i'm guessing) took out explosives hidden inside the metal gear! After this it just sat there swaying! Thought you might wanna know!
I already know about that issue, thus i even mentioned in game "To be able to defeat the pilot, you have to shoot from the middle plane. Do Not Shoot The rockets or the level will brake"Quote:

IMO the level really works great except for that risky bug in the boss fight.
All i can do is warn players about it and all they have to do is follow instructions.
I suggest playing through the published Boss Rush if you just wanna finish it. (you havent even seen Metal Gear Karas' Ultimate form its really cool)
Thanks for playing. :)
EDIT
Ive added a warning dialogue before entering the boss fight.. this should let the the player know to pay attention to the in game boss battle instructions.
:blush: Apparently I didn't read the instructions - doesn't it suck when you go to all that effort then some dumb user like me doesn't pay attention!? :blush:
Anyway, I'm gonna give it another go when I get in this evening anyway as the rest of the level was really enjoyable.
^^^ Its no problem at all rtm223 you actually helped me out in a way, because i can never tell what people do or do not do in playing my levels. What you did, gave me information that there's still risks of my level breaking when players choose not to read the dialogue (especially for an important one)
FYI i had to take out one double life checkpoint in order to add one magic mouth, my level is really full its crazy! :)
By the way The Boss Rush does not have the added warning dialogue, only the original level.. Ill have to add that there.
I played this level and hearted, mainly because, well, I don't know, it probably kicked more *** than any level I've ever played on LBP. I loved this level, I think it was introduced to me by the Goose himself...
Sorry for bumping this thread, it was a GREAT level and Graygoose asked for F4F when my PS3 was dead, so I couldn't do F4F for a LONG time..
PROS: Great level! I enjoyed playing it and I'm glad you did F4F with this level, It was very fun! It felt like more than an LBP level, when the turrets exploded and made holes in the walls it felt like I could jump out of them. =P Amazing detail, and great decorations. I loved it! It was very creative with the stairs with electricic
CONS: During the boss, one of the enemies that it shoots out was exploded by a bomb, but not all of it. Now it was a very annoying little electrified piece of cardboard preventing me from finishing the level. Another thing is that when the boss died, the building's ceiling wobble bolt went out of control and same with the piston pushing the building base up and down. After the boss was probably the hardest part of the level.
Overall, 4/5 stars and a heart. Would have been 5/5 if after the boss was easier.
WOW, I have got to play this level.
Wow, this level was one of the best MGS levels I have ever played! The boss was amazing and the characters looked great. 4/5 stars and hearted.
LOL! I cant believe this thread is still alive! But HEY! Thanks guys! Im glad you liked it, im really proud of this level even tho i just published 2 new ones. Mainly because of my own Ultimate Metal Gear. The Metal Gear Karas...
I just remember my creation days when i made the Ultra Magnetic Karas Mode come to life OMG! Even as the creator, i was struck in awe lol!
About the Metallic Shed, it was never like that until Cornish Yarg update came out. ever since then, i noticed about a week ago my metallic shed is pocessed by an unknown force, it saying bye bye lol.
The reason behind this is because, the switches that are linked to Karas but not attached to it, disappears along when Karas dies. Its so frustrating! i dont know what to do with this bug! So thats why... Im really sad because i cant fix it, and to add to that im at 99.99% in thermo. My goodness Gracious, what a deal breaker for a level.
i lost a star out of 5 huwaaaaaa!!! huwaaaaa!
Well enough of that crying! why dont you all just try my new levels that just came out. Check my sig for info. I still have great respect for Karas but i think ive done a really good job with The Count Of St Claire Island.
Check my sig.
well i played the island with korndawwg,
and after seeing it,
i know, this level is gonna be amazing!
(surpised i havn't played it yet 0.0)
