How many times ave you seen this tintle in the past few weeks, BOBMBS FALLING FROM THE SKY AND LOTS OF BOMBS or THE HARDEST LEVEL IN LBP! or even SUPER CRAZY HARD HECTIC CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!1 see how annoying that it is. Well thats all i see on the Community page these days. What happened to levels with storys, that people have spent weeks of even months on. Even when there is a story level on the main page, it only has 2 or 3 thousand play, compared to the 50,000+ of the survival levels. Tell me what you guys think. I'm interested to hear your feed back. ~~Amuseme543 PSN: Inthenow543

I'm with you on this. I think it all stems from the Survival Level Creator Challenge a while back. I'm pretty sick of seeing them... that's for sure. Although admittedly ... a few are pretty well done and good fun.

well those levels get so many plays because people are bent on beating them while actually good levels get played only 2 or 3 times per person. What i hear is its just a trend but idk, easy to make, gets like 100,000 plays, takes like 5 minutes to build, all those horrible creators of lbp are just drawn like flies to this kinda thing, and aslong as they stay on top of the coll pages they're all gunna be mislead into thinking they are actually good successful creators and will just keep makeing them.

Ohhhh, I thought this thread was a signpost "to many survival levels". How disappointing Nah, it's true. The cool pages seems to favour hearts and ratings as well as raw play counts, but survival levels get an insane amount of replays. Even with an algorithm update the cool pages will still be largely full of crap - just like anything based upon popular opinion. Have you looked through the level showcase and especially the community spotlights on this site? You may well find some levels more to your liking there

Anything ala mode will clutter the cool pages. In the beginning it was ramp levels, trophy levels and rocket cheetah. This winter there was a lame amount of races and HFH. Last spring "bomb survival" became the new lame thing to do so that's all you see there. At least I think we are reaching the end regarding those mode. What else can people come up with? Slides? It would have popped up already. They will find something new (and still lame) to do with water? .

Drown survival challenges, at first. Then someone will think, "why choose?", and then underwater bomb survivals will flood the cool levels. Note that there's no smiley. It's not funny.

Look, it's not so bad and this behavior should have been excepted by everyone if you think about it. When you speak of "mass", the IQ is pretty low and taste is also pretty... non-existant. Just look at what mass-popular TV shows are, mass-popular music, etc. For the most part, it's all crap. Same should happen with the general taste in LBP and the general creating power. .

Yeah, i can't stand them anymore. The worst thing is when they wrote on the scoreboard "Fail" or "Too bad", do they realize those levels (especially bomb survival) take no skill? you just need to play a lot until you know what to do perfectly

Though at least with TV/radio you can be selective about which channel you tune in to. Would be nice to get channels in LBP, so I can just tune in to the LBPC showcase channel, the puzzle channel, or the pretty-levels-for-those-not-quite-so-hot-at-platforming channel.

Well, you can see this forum as a channel. The Spotlights are awesome and there's so many great levels listed that one player could simply ignore the cool pages. .

I don't think you can ever have too many survival challenges. Continuously replaying to improve your score is something that story based levels rarely offer. However, there definately is a problem with the originality of survival challenges. I remember when Mm made the survival challenges video and highlighted a few on the news page (incluing Spirlaizer, or course ), and over the next few weeks it was great searching for MmSC and all the awesome ideas people were having. Survival challenges seemed popular AND they were mostly very different. But the extreme lack of creativity these days really suprises me. Bomb survivals were bad enough, but then someone came up with the idea of "Hotel bomb survival", and suddenly every level on the cool pages is a hotel being bombed. Then it changed to hospitals. Are people really so creatively limited that ALL the bomb survival levels happen in the same type of building????? Okay, rant over.

yeah i am sick of all those levels too. Another type of crappy level i have been seeing a lot of is those bmx levels. there was one up on page 1 again last night and actually had 4 star rating. i decided to to try it as i was done in create mode and just wanted to try something short before bed. it was horrible, a down hill slope with some jumps. with no care about keeping the player in the playing area. you could drop down through hole and go all the way to the defualt flooring. No care went into this level just a slope with a few ramps throw in for jumps and obsticles yet people think it is 4 star quality. crazy

I'm a little sick with survival challenges and score challenges. Most of the time they are very popular, and they are too easy to create. If you want to get the gold create trophy, all you need to do is create a bomb survival or a jump challenge. You hardly ever see full length levels on page one, most of them get as far as page 2 or 3. But page 1 is littered with survival challenges and races There are some really well made survival challenges that really do deserve to be on page 1 but most of those you win the key for from full levels I find.

i like some survival levels but there arent many good 1s(that I know of). i see why people complain about bomb levels getting HUGE amount of plays because some of them are exactly the same or badly made.

I somewhat like to play bomb survival levels, but most of them are just mediocre and not very addicting.
