GAME BREAKER:
POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Question: quite a few of these issues (profile import/dlc content/player connection/freezing etc.) were reported during beta testing, didn't anyone have the integrity to stand up and say the product isn't fit and ready for launch?
Other major titles have delayed releases to fix major bugs rather than release an inferior flawed version that would result in player frustration and critical reviews among the videogaming media.
Maybe the commercial pressure of hitting the seasonal sales window was too great....but delaying by a month would still have the game out in time for christmas and as a bonus the release could have been worldwide rather than available in just one region.
The long term interest of the franchise and the LBP community would have been better served.
Agreed. In total honesty, if I shell out 60$ for a game, especially with a series I actually have a lot of faith in I expect to at least be able to PLAY the game I just bought, especially with that price. Now if lbp3 were functioning properly, yeah by all means it would be a wonderful game. But instead I feel like I just paid 60$ to alpha test a game that's not even near beta stages yet. The ps4 version seems to have a few less issues, but both games are far from finished. I quite literally can do next to nothing in the game without freezing, crashing, disconnecting or the level completely glitching out on me to prevent me from going further. And I feel bad for all the people who go in knowing none of this and might be turned away by this. Hoping that the next patch manages to at least get the game on it's feet and be stable enough to play.
Gotten quite a few bugs myself, some already posted. Here's a list, all on 80 GB PS3:
- 1-2 Minute Loading screens between levels
- Intense lag in Marvel Level Kit
- DC Level Kit utterly broken, when you collect a score bubble, you immediately come off the wall, making it near impossible.
- PS3 freezes up completely if you make a Sackbot Changeling with 2 Seperate Costumes
- Oddsock Statue and Character Change Point in Manglewood Hub disappears completely sometimes, reloading level sometimes works.
- "Recent changes to your profile could not be saved due to an unknown error" after completing Shake, Rattle & Roll"
- Stickers cannot be used anywhere but levels in Play Mode, decorations work perfectly fine.
- Impact Sensor does not correctly activate Kill Tweaker unless said Tweaker is set to "Kill Everyone"
I'm on PS4 and I get a message similar to this every time I boot up the system.Quote:

I have indeed played a few LBP2 levels that have different bugs such as magic mouths failing to play voice clips, spawn points failing to activate, and level-enders failing. Additionally, impact-explosive bombs only kill the player if they're in the same layer as the bomb, so Sackboy can now just walk behind the bomb explosions without harm.Quote:

Long loading times
and..
Emitter Problems in LBP2 levels, an example with my level; the creatinator appears in LBP2 but when I try to play it in LBP3, the creatinator doesn't appear :/
Online multiplayer is practically unplayable.
LBP2 levels have many issues such as magic mouths not working, bouncepads not working, etc.
Logic settings are sometimes not saved.
Logic behaves in unintended ways.
The story has many game breaking glitches.
I encountered a major camera bug when I tried to place a decoration on my character. It zoomed in a lot and then the camera stayed that way and I kept dying because I was out of the screen (the countdown timer appeared and killed me) The only fix was restarting the game.
I already had several costumes unlocked at the start of the game, which my friend didn't have.
This is only a very small percentage of the glitches I am encountering.

Sounds like MM left LBP too soon lol. :(
I'm sadly kind of glad/lucky I held off on buying the game until I move back home next year...
In all seriousness though, I really hope you guys work all these things out. Having a weak start doesn't mean you can't finish strong!
And maybe in the future you guys might wanna put quality over currency...just saying'...
:p
Missing sounds was covered on this thread already. Will the patch revive the Cross Controller sounds too?
so i dont no if this ben sead but cant dounload the dlc frum the past games on the ps4 be cuse it say content not found i think this is a psn storproblum thow but it a good thing to let them no
I played the prologue and left the adventure with Maglewood unlocked. When I came back it was locked and I had to see the whole final cut scene for it to unlock again...
I have all of my Monster kit, Move Pack, and Cross Controller sounds, but other than that I just have Alerts and Mechanisms.Quote:

Also, at least for PS3, LBP1 GOTY DLC Transfers over fine, for me at least.
I've found 2 fairly major issues on the PS3 version so far:
1. When I try to use the popit power-up to pause or rewind it will not work under my main profile. I have to bring in another player under another account in order to utilize this feature. This glitch persists into later levels. I tried reinstalling the game and re-importing each profile, and now I can no longer pause and rewind with either profile, and I must bring in a player under guest to pause and rewind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBFz...ature=youtu.be
2. The game asks me to go to My Unlocks to unlock content from the previous 2 games. It works fine for LBP2, but when I try to import content from the 1st game, it crashes and I have to hold the power button because the system becomes unresponsive to the controller.
That is pretty strange. When I mean I don't have CC sounds, the category exists, but there are no sounds in the category.Quote:

I too am falling out of numerous levels (4 or 5 so far), and am also finding my costumes changing throughout levels and cutscenes. The vehicle building levels especially. Every time I come back from a race or distance attempt, my costume re-sets.
This sounds like it might be my problem, not receiving level completion gifts. All of the stickers are given that way. Have you gotten any backgrounds?Quote:
