After seeing some gameplay from LBP2, it looks like Sackbots just get electrocuted when they touch water. That's a little bit wierd seeing as they're supposed to mimic the actions of a Sackboy. Also they can only be equipped with the Grabinator and Creatinator... I don't know why they wouldn't be able to use a grappling hook if they were being controlled via Controllinator. Maybe it will be fixed in a later build of the game.

Well, actually, considering the electrocution thing, it's because you can set the sack bots to be vulnerable to certain things. I guess that's one of them. And they can be equipped with grappling hooks. So... yeah. Just about as useful as I'd imagine.

You can choose what the sackbots can pick up/ equip.

There are tweaks...you know? Not as useful? Just because they can't do ONE thing? Why does everyone have to exaggerate things in the worse way around here?! Gah, I'm going home, call me when the positive threads start emerging agan, because all I see lately is "What if *[something negative] this* and *what if [something negative] there...* You count the bad one or two things, but all the good stuff weren't mentioned at all...why IS that? If we compare them and see wether there are more good things than bad things, which do you thing there's more of?! Gah...who knows, maybe the negativitron DID indeed attack LBP(C) after all, I'm seeing the effects more and more recently.

Any actual sources for this "information"? These kinds of threads are exactly why I left LBW, one thread there was actually about if LBP 2 failed. They had claimed the game was rushed, with no source of info and everything we know (such as MM saying they had been working in secret for a year or two) against them. I swear, people seem to be pulling negative ideas out of a hat and posting them with nothing to back up their claims.

Hmm.. I don't know about there being a tweak. And in a very recent video, it shows the Sackbot tutorial with only the option to use a Controllinator, Creatinator, and Grabinator. Not sure if you can turn off the electrocution though. I never said they weren't useful. I just said they weren't as useful as you would probably think. I was thinking of making a level where you had to save Sackbots from caves underwater, but it doesn't look like that'll work out.

A game NEVER an be the exact way you expect it to be. Adjust your ideas and your inspiration with what the game will offer you'll be all good. Limits can push creativity.

It's also a beta, homeslice. It's not even the finished product yet.

They probably tweaked it to die if it touches water, (after all, it IS a robot, eh?) and I think regular AI Sackbots cant use the Grapple Hook, but I think DCS-controlled Sackbots can. :SH:

Awesome things in LBP2 to not so awesome things in LBP2 ratio 9001 : 0.0000000000000001 And somehow we only talk about the not so awesome things. If there are any

Dude calm down the game isn't even out yet! It's still a work in progress. I personally think that MM only puts the outstanding & important new features of the game in demos & interviews. They don't wanna spoil the whole game do they? (;

Can you please link to the video that leaves out the other power-ups? And like others have said, it's still in production. I doubt MM would leave out something as important as the ability for sackbots to use all power-ups.

I don't think it's negative to speculate on the limitations of the sackbots, it's actually a good idea. (It's definitely negative to flame someone for it!) If we can spot the limitations with sackbots early, without our excitement clouding our judgment, we can get a head start on finding workarounds. Also it's fun to speculate. So I think it's a good thread.

In my opinion, it was probably a thread to... Hate? On the Sack-bot? Too much people drinking Haterade these days... Just kidding just kidding!

1. Most of the 'facts' you tell about sackbots aren't true. 2. You can change do the sackbots work like robots, zombies, godlike sackboys or just sackboys. 3. Sackbots can use other powerups than just grabinators and creatinator. They can use jetpack, diving system (Don't remember what it's in english) and paintinator if u have LBP 1 and the DLC. No offense but I don't really see the point of this thread.

They can be tweaked to be able to wear certain powerups. Sicne I'm not in the beta I can't say which ones but I doubt MM would only put in the ability to use the new powerups. Maybe they were adding them in and decided to make sackbots able to use them while they were at it but haven't gotten to add the others yet. I know as much about it as anyone else...

I've been looking through youtube to find the vid but it's from the beta (or so the description says) so A.Even though I'm not in the wrong for watching it (I didn't sign no NDA!) I'm not going to watch it, and B.Thin layer of dark matter+electricution=eletricuted water. Not sure if it's true but why would he get 'electrified' if he fell in?

I can't think of a reason why I'd want SackBots to swim (just me personally, I'm sure you guys have ideas), but it doesn't make them unuseful even if they can't. You'll live, and you'll have all the stuff LBP2 can do to keep you busy

We don't know but maybe it's the water you can tweak deadly.. not the sackbot.

So this is a discussion of things going on in the beta.... I think some of you should check up on the site rules (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=21530-Rules-Consequences), perhaps. I'm holding the OP responsible for posting info from the beta and shutting down this thread. I'll leave it open for a short while as a warning and then probably just delete the lot. And for anyone confused here, it's simple: You do not discuss info from within the Beta on LBPC.
