Hmm I dont really kind it scary at all. The forum would be a little choatic without the oldies ....

... shouldn't this topic be on GameFaqs? But I digress. It IS scary that there are so many adults on LBP. After all, adults only like games with violence, alcohol reference, suggestive themes and strong language, right? And everyone knows that all adults in every country are the same, none of them are creative people who like to have recognition for their creative work. And no adult in their right mind could enjoy a platformer with levels that contain action, challenging platforming, humor, puzzles and impressive visual elements. Yup, those pesky adults, enjoying a game that's meant for Everyone.

Why would adults make a platform game for adults that would just be stupid, there is no way that the people at Mm like platformers.

LBP is aimed for both adults and kids People of all ages

To the OP. So sorry you feel that way. A game as advanced as LBP with all the creative and amazing things you can make with it, why wouldn't adults want to play this game? I think more should, as it might calm them down!! The way I look at is is when we play LBP, we can all gad about and be about 8 years old. Problem solved. So yes.. we are all kids... even though my DoB tells me otherwise. E for everyone means just that.

The game is made for all ages to express their creativity, unlike you express terrible grammar. Please lock this thread.

And this thread needs locking why? Is it because of the pointlessness of the OP, or the pointlessness of most of the posts that followed it (edit - most of which have since been removed, making this comment seem a little mean lol)? If you think a thread is pointless and you have nothing useful to add, you are allowed to just let it die, rather than bumping it, yknow Anyways, just consider how many of the best creators are adults. If we take what the game appears to be marketed at (kids around 5-12 ish), and then imagined it was only them playing, what exactly would the community levels be like? Picture that, and then tell me which scenario is scarier

I'd say the average age of creators with spotlighted levels is about 20. It drops hugely if you remove Grant

And this thread needs locking why? Indeed. I think there could be some valid discussional value of the reasons why LBP has such a broad age-range appeal, and I'm not going to lock this just because of bad spelling and grammar in the OP. If I were to lock every thread which had bad spelling and grammar, there wouldn't be a single unlocked thread on the entire forum. Instead I shall move it to Everything Else LittleBigPlanet since it's LBP-related, and let the community decide when it dies, by choosing whether they wish to reply to it or not.

No your not jonlolz - there are plenty of teens on here - some just don't admit to it. Yea, I have to agree with Gilgamesh. Being an adult doesn't mean you give up being creative or playing games. Just means you have to manage real life responsibilities so you can still play. I for one am really glad a lot of adults love this game. They push the technical limits of he game and bring artistry that an average 8 year old couldn't (not to say the kids aren't creative - they are, it's just a different kind of creative) So ya, adults play games. Try not to be too shocked.

No your not jonlolz - there are plenty of teens on here - some just don't admit to it. Wow, who wouldn't admit to being a teenager? I mean, that's just wrong... ahem. *wipes sweat from forehead* But to the point, there are adults who play almost every game out there. Video games haven't just been invented in the past 5 years. Adults play other games beside WiiFit. I think.

I'd rather want LBP to be full of adults rather than having nothing else to play but the stuff most of the kids make, aka. the cool pages.

What's up with all these age topics lately? To tell you the truth, no one cares if you're 10, 11, or even 55. It's a matter of how you act towards everyone else.

The adults really add the majority of the incredible levels, but that's not to say that you need to be over 18 to create great levels. Two of my favourite creators are 14. Both have numerous spotlights on this site. It's good that this game can appeal to all ages. The fun cutesy style attracts the youngsters while the freedom of creativity attracts the older people. The people in the middle can sway either way. I went with the adults. What I see is that without adults, the young ones would be left, and would be even worse than they are now, without the guidance and tutorials made by the smart people. This game would be just one massive noob fest.

I think this site just shows how diverse the lovers of LBP are! We've got what like 10 year olds on this site? And then we've got like 10000000000000 years olds? (Grant I'm looking at you ) That's just a guess (and I was being kind, Grant not been that age for a few thousand.. centuries

Hi, I'm Rick, and I'm an adult who enjoys LPB...(cut to large adult group sitting in a circle...Hi Rick. Welcome to LBPaholics Anonymous.). So why am I here? Looking back on the earlier years of my life, apparently my parents felt the need to buy me toys and games. This went on for many years. I soon began to expect them, at Birthdays and Christmas, but that wasn't enough. As I grew older I needed newer, larger and better toys--cars, gadgets, electronics, computers, phones, then phones with internet, then phones with cameras and music, a PS3 80GB, then a PS3 Slim 120GB, and all the cool games made for them. Sadly, I had been conditioned by my parents to give in to my childish impulses, those far-reaching cravings that haunt me now. I've found that only a controller will stop my hands from shaking now. And with LBP, only the number 1 game pick of 2009 (definitely a "MUST HAVE"), I can immerse myself into create mode for hours, and make "ALL" the toys I want. A bit of a wild anology, mainly so the younger generation can understand...and if you giggled at this, call me in 20 years and let me know if you were able to break free of the kid inside you. Hopefully not.

My response? Why are there so many kids on lbp? Long story short: it's rated E. Also LBP has a nice charm to it. I'm 10, so your taking it from one who has experience in your question... or something like that. What's the big deal about it, anyway?

there are several posts missing. The mods move in mysterious ways..... Or not at all mysterious, if you read through the posts that have been made. I think Aya comphermc just had a clean out. The adults really add the majority of the incredible levels, but that's not to say that you need to be over 18 to create great levels. Two of my favourite creators are 14. Both have numerous spotlights on this site. What I see is that without adults, the young ones would be left, and would be even worse than they are now, without the guidance and tutorials made by the smart people. This game would be just one massive noob fest. I think this sums up the importance of the role of adults in shaping the community perfectly. There are plenty of younger creators around with awesome skills, but a lot of the techniques that are now commonplace will have come from the adults (I'm actually including older teenagers here as well, I'm talking general trends here, I don't see there being any particular cut-off point). There is so much that LBP has to offer to all age groups in fairness. The cutesy look and themes are simply veneer, easily demonstrated by going and playing something like post-apocalyptic. The actual game itself is so complex and layered that even if you don't enjoy it (I don't know why that would be, I can only assume that anyone who doesn't enjoy this game is mental ), you have to appreciate the genius behind it. How they made everything seem so basic and simple on the surface, yet scalable to an incredible degree, is amazing. We are still discovering new ways to achieve stuff 18 months on... So, a fun game, with daily updated quality content, that allows you to express yourself creatively in a manner most of us were never able to before, whilst also allowing you to collaborate with other creative minds from around the world. Add to that the possibility for a massive amount of intellectual challenge for those who want it, and you have something that is very much not a kids game. It all depends on how you choose to play it, and that in itself is what sets this game apart from others.

OMG, I NEVER SAID IT WAS A BAD THING!!!!!!!!!

2010-04-18 00:59:00 Author: YEAH_NAH Posts: 775

It's just taking an idea from a concept to an actual level that proves difficult. So it doesn't matter whether your 13 or 30. As long as you're good at developing your ideas from a conceptual stage to finish product, you'll have no problems making a great level. What I thinks funny is your post was like a magnet for adults. So if you wanted to know who was an adult........ you get the picture.

LittleBigPlanet is a game meant for everyone of all ages, not just eight year olds. Plus, if the community consisted of only children, just imagine what the levels would be like!

Just because we suffer from dodgey knees, bad backs and cholestrol problems doen't mean we can't have fun! In fact, I would say because we have to deal with crappy things like bills, jobs/not having jobs etc. I would say we are a group of people who need some light hearted fun the most

Imagine what LBP would be like without older teens and adults... There are a few young creators out there that make great levels, but LBP would probably be something like this... The level of the year would have been a BOMB SURVIVAL! The preferred mode of transport would be the ROCKET CHEETAH! H4H would probably be more prevalent! Logic would've not advanced much further than the permanent switch, which means no LOGIC PACK! There would be no CONTRAPTION CHALLENGES! No LittleBigContra! Many of the useful GLITCHES in-game would not have been discovered! There would be much fewer purchases of DLC being made. Therefore Mm wouldn't be able to continue to support the game as much as they have done. There would be no one to participate in the BETAS! LBP would've not won as many awards, thanks in part to the community levels that show the games true potential. There would be virtually no kind donations being made to this site. LBPC would probably not exist... and this game would have faded away months ago...

The preferred mode of transport would be the ROCKET CHEETAH! I think that is the case even umongst the growed ups to be honest

It just doesn't make sense if they're better creators, that they should be allowed to steal first place just because they're older - Did you really mean adults are better at creating? If so, than StevenI and TheAdipose will beg to differ. >.>

Aye, however, this is what proves my point - why do 22 year olds go up against 12 year olds for competitions? It just doesn't make sense if they're better creators, that they should be allowed to steal first place just because they're older. It's not "stealing" first place if you win fair and square. Having more skill is not an unfair advantage! If the competition has no age limits then where is the problem? Did you really mean adults are better at creating?> As a general trend, you are more likely to find a creator with sophisticated artistic and technical skills as they reach their late teens and adulthood. As several people have indicated (including myself) though, that there are plenty of younger people with awesome creation skills, and some older people without, so age isn't a deciding factor, it's just that the top end of the skill level is largely dominated by adults at older teenagers. If so, than StevenI and TheAdipose will beg to differ. >. TheAdipose is an adult and a skilled creator, so I'm a little lost here. I'm not familiar with stevenI outside of the forums, he's always seemed relatively mature though, not that you can really tell age from online interaction

If so, than StevenI and TheAdipose will beg to differ. >.> It's nothing to do with being older is cheating. That's complete nonsense. The best creator wins the competition regardless of age. If we gave bonus points for being a kid, couldn't anyone say they are 12 on teh interwebs? And about StevenI and TheAdipose... Adi is one of the best creators around and while I haven't seen StevenI create a level that isn't a simple tutorial doesn't mean he is good or bad yet...

I don't think that people are saying kids are bad. That's not the vibe I'm getting from this thread at all. I think we can all agree that all ages bring something unique to the LBP universe but we all have different ideas of what's good and not so good in terms of personal tastes.

so yeah everyone obviously loves kids It'd be as bad with ONLY kids as it would be with ONLY adults. That's why its good we have uch good balance! Come on m8's stop arguing which is better or worse between adults and kids, there are good and bad of each, but that's the grat thing, that we have diversity and we also have many awwesome players/ creators of each!

Lighten up. They aren't saying all kids or even that they're bad. They are making statements based on what some kids in game do, not all kids. Just like not all adults make super hard, omg I wanna throw the controller at my TV levels.... that's just CCubbage

They are making statements based on what some kids in game do, not all kids. I said the same thing before awhile ago.. But if people need to be told twice about something, then where is this going?

I wasn't saying bad things about kids. I was just saying that LBP wouldn't be the same if older people didn't play too.

I don't think anyone's ganging up on anyone, or discriminating against anyone because of age. I think all this is, is a friendly discussion about the different kind of things that both adults and kids bring to the game. And to be honest, I've quite enjoyed reading this thread as it is quite interesting, and have sensed no hostility, with exceptions of those who are taking things the wrong way.

there's nothing wrong with adults playing LBP it's a family game that's what it was MADE for, families but it kinda evolved into becoming a social network because of the teenage interest lol remember LittleBigMyspace? but I don't see anything wrong with adults playing LBP it's just that maybe you just haven't found the teenagers I've found all of them I think XD

2010-04-24 02:16:00 Author: wolverine_2008 Posts: 304

You're all overthinking this. You want to know why adults and kids alike play LBP? It's the best game EVAR!

Ok, this is all a big mis-understanding. LBP wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for the balance of ages. I think we should stop this childish (oh no, I said childish!) behaviour!
