Free costume missing.

Archive: 16 posts


Hi!
First of all I want to say that I'm loving this game a lot, and I'm supporting it buying all the stuff that is coming out since day one, since the "infamous" first week t-shirt at ?4,99...

Now, there's a little problem.
Unfortunately, I can't manage to get the 100% from the game, since I haven't got an internet connection at home.
Basically it's because I own a shop where I actually "live" 13 hours a day, so I decided to have an internet connection only from the shop.
So, whenever I want to dl something from PSN, I have to bring the PS3 at work:arg:

This means that I can't play online (heck, I tried at work but it's quite impossible even to finish a level), I even bought a second controller to get the 2x items playing alone with one controller on one hand and doing kamasutra with the other controller:blush:

In fact I didn't even get all the costumes even if I have ACED every level.
Still the game is always so fun, and heart reliefing, that is always a blast to play and MM and SONY have deserved all the support I can give them, that's why I buy every update and I'm very happy to do it.

Now, what quite ****** me off, was that I had been sick and I had to stay a bit at the hospital...(it was only some stress, fortunately)and had to spend some time at home, off work...but when I got back to dl the stuff for Little Big Planet, I realized that I had missed the St.Patrick costume, that now I can't find anywhere.

I know that it's a silly thing, especially since I'm getting oldie (31), but I didn't find correct that I have no more possibility to take that item, even because I supported the game from day 1.
Maybe MM should give at least the people who bought the first week t-shirt (that are LBP collectors)to get the free stuff without limits of time.

I hope that one day MM decides to deliver again those old costumes for everyone, even as premium DLC for ? 0,99, but I think that they should avoid this limit timed stuff since it can happen that someone couldn't have the chance to get it for serious reasons.

Sorry for the long rant and for the bad English, since I'm Italian...

Yeah I think it's ridiculous to mess with free stuff.

It's like the Christmas and Valentine's pack. They are there anymore. I even receive PSN messages from people online asking me where did I get that chocolate looking material...

I think it's retarded to mess with free stuff. The stuff being there or not, they don't lose/get money. Also, there's no pride in having a material that you don't. I mean, it's a game about CREATIVITY, they should just make open up for everybody instead of encouraging "E-penis" behavior.

I actually think there should be an option to unlock everything in the game with just the press of a button. Took me ages to get all the materials and decorations. There were things that I could`ve used in my first few levels. I don`t think it`s fair that people who live on their own, have crappy internet connections or just aren`t very good at the single player should miss out on having all the materials etc available to them.

A 'quick unlock' feature (that say, forfits the Trophy) to give everyone what they need would be welcome I think. And that`s coming from someone with 100%.

Costumes, I`m not too fussed about. I like dressing up as a Pirate. Sometimes I`ll dress my Sackboy as a pirate too. But yeah I think they should always be in store. I`ve had my internet connection go down for more than a week. I`d be peeved if something I really wanted disappeared in that time. Taking them out benefits no-one.

I missed out on the valentines day pack. All I want is those wings. Is the Bow in that pack too?2009-06-11 00:43:00

Yes, the bow and the wings are is in the Valentine pack.
We should contact MM to try to solve this problem.
Instead of timed stuff, they could do timed discount.
For example
Free in the first week - then 0,99$ or ? (for a costume, but all it would depends on the size of the stuff)

YES. They should put back everything they put down but with a price.

You can voice it. They read this website, so you could add it in the Suggestions section. I`m sure Mm have email too! 2009-06-13 03:07:00

I agree - the one thing I'm ticked about was I missed out on the Spacesuit. I put in a wireless network just for LBP and I missed out on the suit because I didn't get it set up in time......*grumbles*

I've bought pretty much everything else I wanted but that one sticks in my head and the one I really want!

LOL - no it doesn't make me feel better. But I am glad that you got it.
It's really not that huge a deal - I'll survive with the thousands of other combinations my costumes are capable of making. Just wanted to mention it as an example of limited time costumes and the frustration they breed.

Sorry guys for the double post/re-up.
I've decided to be annoying with the MM guys just on their blog.
I'm posting with my real name: Gabriele T., and someone is backing my position, so if anyone wants to give a voice over there, you're welcome!

Couldn't agree more. There is absolutely no reason that makes good sense as to why they would even offer "limited time DLC,", including the week one T-Shirt! I mean... it's not like they don't have enough server space or anything right? Fortunately, I've been able to get everything free but that T-shirt... but I would be pretty P.O.'ed if I hadn't been able to, or if I miss out on something in the future just because I was away from my PS3 for a week or so.

Mm... are you listening? Maybe it's high time you bring back all free DLC for those who didn't own the game or were unable to download for various reasons. Play, Create, SHARE.

Yeah, I also think for the free limited time costumes, on the first week make it free, then just make players pay for it after that.

Not everyone has access to the internet 24/7. geez.

I didnt feel like buying the valentines pack at the time but i thought it would stay on the store, big mistake.


Im hoping that when the specific times roll around that theyll reinstitute the old ones for a limited time along with any new ones that they may want to make,

i.e. space suit for launch
pumkin head
turkey

while the only ones i missed are the valentines and the t-shirt i think it would be a good chance to reward those who have stuck with lbp after the launch craze for the people who missed out the first time but are still loyal

and then theres that crown . . .
