What would you change?

[iinov8]

okay guys, so here's an idea--
in your opinion what would you change about any of the alliance members?
the design of their levels?
their levels in general?
their vioce?
their part-taking in the story?
their theme?
their actual character designs?
their... genders?
... i don't know, post a comment saying what YOU would change!

My opinion: for starters:
~Avalon= original beta version avalon, evil and incharge fools! or atleast of the negativatron. I would have loved to see his "evil super suit" too XD
~Clive: keep them smexy beta glasses!

~Higganbotham: more goofy funny than gibberish insanity. :/ he's actually the character i had high expectations for, but let me down, i thought he was kinda going to be "willy wonka" kinda character, but he didn't turn out like i wanted D:

~Eve: more story about her! D: and a french accent. I don't know why, she looks more french to me than spanish.
~Victoria: original beta version design, she was a playing card, and it was awesome!

(plus i think Mm should make a psn account to be able to maybe publish beta levels, other versions of the original levels, and maybe even some more backstory levels that you can acess by going to community menu and under Mm pics called something like "Mm accounts" or "other Mm levels" )
anywayzzz~ POST PEOPLE, POST!

I kinda wish that Avalon had a higher-pitched voice. A nerdier-sounding one . . .

And everyone needs a backstory! Any backstories we have now are exceedingly vague! (ie. Eve had two eyes, now she has one eye . . . there was some kind of school somewhere at some point in time.)

I know right? Maybe she had to get an operation, maybe a worm ate her eye, maybe a patient ate her eye... maybe Dr. Higganbotham... oh wait, i'll just stop there... XD

I'd ADD MORE PRIZES. Although that isn't really changing, isn't it.

Eve's eyes seemed to lack the quality of the other characters. The anti-alising is off and the coloration seemed dulled and blurred together. The character model needs to be fixed.

The levels themselves were great up until I got to the Avalon stage. Then the levels started getting really "Grid" based and boring to play through. Eve's asylum was worse with this. Trees are not SQUARES. Regardless of the theme they were going for, it just looks bad.

In the cosmos, I would have liked to see more space based themes. But instead, it was just a stage of random materials pasted together like they didn't know what to do next.


It feels like the developers kinda dropped the ball towards the end of the game, running out of fresh ideas. The first 3 stages were fantastic with very cool ideas like using the grabinators to hold cupcakes and stuff.

If you mean the scrap metal and junk-materials, they're supposed to be like that. It's supposed to be a huge build-up planet of what the negativitron has sucked up from LBP, and he has turned it into dismantled rubbish and things.

^ If Higgenbotham had gotten his own theme until the last few levels, or maybe just the boss, the Cosmos would've been much better. But everything was the Negativitron, so it was kinda gunked up as a theme.

[craigmond]

Yeah I would have given Higgenbotham a proper theme.

I wouldn't change Higginbotham at all. He was hilarious as all get out, like a Max Parrish painting come to life. (I would suspect there's probably an age divide on who thinks Higginbotham is amazing and who doesn't).

I would have changed some of the genders, however, and some of the heteronormative gender stereotyping. I mean.. two very patriarchal characters (Larry as the Daddy figure, Avalon as the Golden Boy Hero albeit ineffectually so), and then we have Victoria (oh gee, a woman baking, there's a stretch), and Eve in a stereotypically female protective/nurturing role. Clive too was a stereotype, bumbling inventor, but it wasn't borderline offensive gender stereotyping.

The fact that they changed the dialogue from Sackboy to Sackthing was good, and I really applaud Mm for doing that. But they failed, quite spectacularly, at putting in female characters who pass the Bechdel Test.

well, i'm not meaning i don't still love mr higganbotham with all his awesomeness, i just thought he'd be a lil more than his character presumed to be in the trailers (which was pretty epic if i do so say myself :P) but ya, i also noticed the stereotypes in story mode. but oh well, i think they pulled off a pretty good story mode. I also agree that mr higganbotham should have had his own patch and group of levels, maybe that would have gave more character to him, who knows? also i think, they need some of those beta costumes put into action--and more contraption prizes, but thats a whole 'nother thread ;p te he

Would have made it so Avalon was Evil like he at first was gonna be,
and make it so the Negativatron was just one of his machines
Set out to trick everyone to think it was the villain
and make Avalon look like a hero… *mew

Would have gave Eve a different accent and made her act more spooky.

Wish the story mode was 1 story patch longer, like maybe so
That way Higganbotham could have had his true own level patch
So he’d not having to share it with the Negativatron.

Also not sure it counts but. I’d change half the costumes story mode gave you.
There was a lot of useless stuff no one could really truly use for costume making.

Well that’s just some things off the top of my head anyways. *mew

I too think Higganbotham deserved his own theme. I liked the idea of Avalon being evil. He could have got infected by the negativitron or something. I personally didn't like Eve at all. I think they should have made a leprechaun-like character in Eve's place.

I never trusted Avalon since the very first level. I thought that he would for a fact be evil by the end of the game. Kinda sad he wasn't.

i would have liked the cosmos to be more about higginbotham than the negativitron, it would be cool if we learnt more about him since we know about most of the others.

[Alternative_sack]

i'd like a seaside theme, with the very old beach background
