Does anyone care about IGNs review. They mark games down for stupid stuff like too many unlockables, or trophies being to hard to get. They will give LBP2 a 8 maybe 8.5 because its too much of the same and too hard to create blah blah blah. Because IGN are morons.

I don't care for IGN either, but i'm looking forward to it

If they're getting to go before the embargo ends for everyone else it'll be posative, thats normally how it works.

I'll read the reviews that come out just for fun but I don't care one squat about them. This is LBP2.

Extra gameplay footage is what I'll be watching it for, I don't care about the ranking. I will say this though - they sound pretty excited to be telling us stuff about it. It might actually be a deserving 10, you never know ...

IGN like to place 10/10 a lot, but on other hand they will concentrate on gameplay then creating, thing like floty jumps are more impotent for them

Although LittleBigPlanet 2 won't be on store shelves for another few weeks, IGN gets to tell you all about it tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2011. At 6 a.m. PST -- not 9 a.m. as previously reported -- our review will go live and be packed with info, clips, a video review and tons of screenshots. The time they'll be posting the review has been changed.

Little big planet 1 got a 9.5 so i don't see how LBP2 cant earn that extra .5 for a perfect 10. One of the editors even commented about LBP2 still having its floatyness and he said, "Sorry if you are one of the 'it's to floaty' camp, this is how Little big planet plays deal with it." Seems like he doesn't care about its "floatyness."

Ha. It will be interesting to see the first generic idiot review for LBP2. I wonder how much the floaty physics will be commented on.

I always read IGN reviews. They are the main game rating site i go to because they seen to rate the hardest, ya some of the things they mark off games for are stupid reasons but most of the time they have really good points that most other websites dont catch. Their reviews dont change my opinion on games but im SUPER looking forward to this review. It will get above a 9 for sure.

I personally don't see anything wrong, and have no idea why people do, it's how the game is played, and it really makes me mad when people complain.

I personally don't see anything wrong, and have no idea why people do, it's how the game is played, and it really makes me mad when people complain. Because gamers play and for them is unnatural behavior since such jumps are rare in platformers LBP is mostly hated by Mario/Nintendo fans because of that

hey look at this way finally we get to look at gameplay footages of the final build not the beta, and not a certain build, THE FINAL BUILD! and 2 weeks before the game is released maybe the review is not to get excited about but the videos and screenshots is to get excited about but I have a hunch that the game will get a 10

I don't like IGN's review layout. They gave Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam a 9.5/10. They took off .5 just because of a song that doesn't really fit in with Vietnam war. Probably going to do same with LBP2...

Their reviews dont change my opinion on games but im SUPER looking forward to this review. It will get above a 9 for sure. i agree with this, and IGN is also my goto gaming news website. i read all the reviews of games im interested, which usually that means im planning on buying anyway, so unless the score is like a 4 or something, i dont care about the score. Also a note for the doubters out there, Greg Miller, the editor who has written the review (and reviewed the first one too) is a big fan of LBP, and from listening to him talking about it on a few podcasts im almost certain this will get a 10/10

Yeah the floatyness of it really isin't bad at all it seems more like people say it just to put the game down, because if you do like platform gaming you will come to like how LBP did it.

The weird thing about all this, it's that never had I thought that the LBP jumps were floaty before people started to point it out. And hells, I still do think that they feel correct and all. What I had a problem with were Mario's jumps, he always seemed to be affected by his personal & private gravity law.

I doubt I'm going to bother reading any reviews. A reviewers job is to review games - they play new releases, maybe for the first couple of weeks at most, then move onto something else. They'll come back to games like LBP after a few months perhaps to write those stupid "10 best levels" articles which only feature recreations of other games, but it's unlikely many of them will ever play it regularly. Therefore their reviews are only good for the casual players like themselves.

I think thats not matter of causality, but fact that they don't concentrate on one community but whole gaming business, since thats there job. There lot of people who are experienced in gaming considered hardcore gamers and do the same.Besides playing LBP all the time don't make you hardcore,i meet lot of LBP players that have no idea about whats going on in community

2011-01-04 13:21:00 Author: Shadowriver Posts: 3991

---

I don't think anyone does LBP justice in the media apart from Mm, because sites like IGN and Gamespot are used to reviewing mainstream games - LBP is so out of the box, so revolutionary, that I don't think they quite know how to take it. It's a shame really, because the key thing about LBP is longevity - people will only get better over time and soon the quality of the levels far exceeds those of the original story that the reviewers played. Anyway, back on topic. 30mins until this review goes live.

9/10 thats good.

I'm reading it, I'm sure it's full of interesting details! By the way, I guess it's not that important, compared to Playstation Mag or IGN, but a big French site has published a review (http://translate.google.fr/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jeuxvideo.com%2Farticles%2F0001 %2F00014108-littlebigplanet-2-test.htm) today. It got 18/20. This is good news, as they gave Heavy Rain a 15/20 and Gran Turismo 5 a 14/20.

3 words... Ignorant Gaming News. should have gotten higher in my opinion but IGN have been really critical over the past months but 9/10 is okay i guess.

2011-01-04 14:12:00 Author: Pattington_Bear Posts: 777

I got what I expected out the review for the most part. The only think that didn't gel with me was their Math. They gave it: 9.0 - Presentation 9.5 - Graphics 9.0 - Sound 9.0 - Gameplay 9.5 - Lasting Appeal Yet, by their awesome computation, that averages out to a 9.0 overall. Look, IGN, if you're going to rate games on a "whatever I feel like" scale, don't do it under the guise of an analytical system. Assuming that each category is weighted evenly, the average should be a 9.2 overall. Is this a huge difference? No. Do I care what IGN thinks? No. I just don't like people using numbers arbitrarily. /math rant Edit: Apprently they round to .5 now? Disregard.

i dont get it, lbp scored a 9.7 but lbp2 which has new features "that outweigh the cons " (the same cons as the last game) gets 9.0? is it too much too ask for a little consistency?

No. I just don't like people using numbers arbitrarily. /math rant They changed their review format a few months ago so that the scores are made up of 0.5s. They don't calculate the final score as an average either, which is annoying... :/ I'm don't really care about reviews, but I was pretty annoyed by this one. It's not Mm's fault that Miller isn't the best creator, yet he marks the game down for it. Would someone take marks off the latest shooter if they were rubbish at it? Probably not... Also, the controllinator was barely mentioned in the review; arguably the most important addition. I was glad to see him get the name of the creatinator right in the review (He called it the controllinator in one of the previews).

That I did not know. Why would they do that? Thats because market currently rank games in ....C, B, A , AA , AAA, AAAA scale and scores like 8.9 make AAA worthy game and AA game, this is why review sites adding 0.5 precision to be more fair.Same thing GameSpot did

They don't calculate the final score as an average either, which is annoying... :/ I don't find this annoying, the final score may be a fair reflection of the overall quality of the game, without being an arithmetical average of all the points This sounds fair enough to me.

No. I just don't like people using numbers arbitrarily. /math rant Recently IGN changed their scoring from the old 100 point scale to a 20 point scale (10, 9.5, 9.0, 8.5 etc...). This can explain why the scores are rounded down. Also every category can not be expected to count equally into the final score. I personally think 9.0 is a very good score! I was expecting a 9 or maybe even an 8.5, knowing how IGN normally reviews this type of sequels... (9.5 in lasting appeal could easily have been 10 though I'm sure!) EDIT: Dang! Sniped

2011-01-04 14:39:00 Author: Slaeden-Bob Posts: 605

9 is good enough. I'm getting it!

I'm surprised the said the creator was complex. I thought (LBP1's admittedly) was very easy to pick up and create simple levels with, however if you wanted to make more complex levels, it was difficult at first, then got much much easier once you learn what to do. The score didn't surprise me much - This is IGN remember, folks!

I queued there levels, i surly check them out then the game come out

2011-01-04 15:02:00 Author: Shadowriver Posts: 3991

What a load of rubbish. I simply don't see how it's possible for anyone to rate this game lower than the original. Everything everyone liked about LBP1 is still there, and 50 billion more cool things have been added - so how can they possibly score it lower??? How can they NOT give 10/10 for lasting appeal? "3.5 million LBP1 levels, 30 story levels + minigames, all the levels people will make, and all the hours/days/years that can be spent creating levels... shame there isn't much to do." This reviewer clearly has no understanding of what makes LBP so special. Happily no review can change my opinion of this game. But I won't bother reading any others.

2011-01-04 15:51:00 Author: Nuclearfish Posts: 927

the fact that lasting appeal is not 10 refutes the legitimacy of the review. What game is a 10 in lasting appeal if LBP2 is not? LBP2 is bottomless.

2011-01-04 15:57:00 Author: EinRobot Posts: 739

I think there looking at it as a new game, and from their view it is no longer an original game (seeing as LBP1 was before it - thats probably what took it down the most)

Who cares about IGN anymore? No, really! I mean, they usally overeact for absolutely anything, and it's gotten worse and worse! Real men go on Giant Bomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/)! ...and laugh at Brad Shoemaker for sucking... and watch every single Game Room Quick Look.

I am happy with a 9, but IGN are pretty inconsistent with their reviews. Halo Reach got a 10 on lasting appeal, which while it is a good game will not last longer than LBP2 in appeal.

What I had a problem with were Mario's jumps, he always seemed to be affected by his personal & private gravity law. What I hate is how none of the reviewers realize you can alter the game gravity or put a gravity switch on a sackbot(remote controlled) to change the jump. However a sackboy jump tweak in the global settings section would be appreciated

IGN? Blah. The only video reviews I take an opinion from are Game trailers reviews, mostly because they compliment my existing opinion on a game anyway.

The only negative he had at the end of the video was "Creation Woes", basically saying how difficult he found the create mode to be. I love how the only negative he could find for this game was a reflection of his own incompetence in playing video game.

I don't get it. They give GTA a 10 and LBP2 a 9? Are they drunk? They also gave Super Meat Boy a 9 because it "was too hard". >_< They better give portal 2 a 10 or I will RAAAGGGEE

Facepalm.jpg Really, Sure the reviewers might not have the time and dont have the knowledge that we do.. but there is too much personal opinion in these reviews, instead of proffesional unbiased reviews. Half of them didnt even do their homework.

You guys are acting like they gave it a 5/10 or something. It got a 9/10 on IGN thats a great score. A big reason this game got rated lower than LBP1 Is because they really up-ed their standards in the pas few months.

Hello everyone, just wondering what all of you thought of IGN's LittleBigPlanet 2 review (By Greg Miller). For me the review felt kind of effortless compared to the 6-paged review that the original LittleBigPlanet review had. Though what shocks me the most is the fact that it got a lower score than the first LittleBigPlanet, crazy right? You hear Greg talking about how it's better in every aspect yet he thinks it's worse than the first one? How the heck is that possible? I wasn't expecting much since it was an IGN review but making such a statement is just plain ridiculous. Sure he didn't write the first LittleBigPlanet review but the fact that he totally ignored it is just a sign of laziness. I remember hearing in the PlayStation Podcast on IGN that he had been busy playing through Dead Space 2 for the 3rd time just to get trophies.. Instead of polishing his review -.- Leave your own thoughts of the review. Was it good, Ok or did it flat out suck? LINK: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/114/1142372p1.html Here's the scores compared to LittleBigPlanet 1. Presentation: LBP:10 LBP2:9.0 Graphics: LBP1:9.5 LBP2:9.5 Sound: LBP1:9.5 LBP2:9.0 Gameplay: LBP1:9.5 LBP2:9.0 Lasting Apeal: LBP1:9.5 LBP2:9.5 Total score: LBP1:9.5 LBP2:9.0

He basically says at one point: "I had trouble getting something to work in create mode. That sucks." Well, duh. Create mode isn't supposed to hand you an awesome creation on a plate. The fact that YOU can't do something properly because you're too lazy to try and make it work, even with 50 tutorials to tell you what to do, AND the fact that you can't give an unbiased review, AND the fact that you've got no foresight or open-mindedness giving the game a 9 on lasting appeal, AND the fact that LBP2 is awesome ... Maybe it's the fact that you have to put in some intelligence and think outside the box to realise where LBP2 can go.

It's not so much what score they give it, but the reasons for which they give it. Most reviewers just don't see the full potential and possibilites, they treat it like any other game which you'll play for a week or two and then move onto something else. ^ This is the core of the debate! For ALL of us here at LBPC I'm sure LBP2 will be a 10 - heck make that a 11 or 12 given the first game is still a perfect 10 in my eyes I just don't think the "normal" review-process is suited for a game with like LBP2. Therefore with this said, I don't think it is a good idea to put to much emphasis into these review scores. They are trying to judge something which is clearly beyond their scope anyway...

2011-01-04 17:45:00 Author: Slaeden-Bob Posts: 605

I'm so disappointed in IGNs review of LBP2 but that will never change my opinion of it being a 10 in my eyes. I think it was stupid how he rated it lower because of the create mode, he sees the potential of what create mode can do yet because he wasn't good at it it gets a lower score -___________-. I'm not to good at create mode yet I don't think that it means the create mode is too hard. I think they should do a re-do after like a month after the games release to see what people made. how is lasting appeal a 9.5? People still constantly play the first one on a daily basis.

He basically says at one point: "I had trouble getting something to work in create mode. That sucks." Well, duh. Create mode isn't supposed to hand you an awesome creation on a plate. Exactly. The SixthAxis (I think) review lists "time consuming create mode" as one of the cons, but anyone with some sense would know that's actually one of the pros. Give us easy creation tools and you'd have to limit the creativity. You'd basically end up with ModNation Racers, which is still a great game but very limiting. LBP is great because of the balance between ease of use and what is possible - it takes time to make something really good, yet if it didn't those good creations wouldn't even be possible.

Give us easy creation tools and you'd have to limit the creativity. You'd basically end up with ModNation Racers, which is still a great game but very limiting. LBP is great because of the balance between ease of use and what is possible - it takes time to make something really good, yet if it didn't those good creatons wouldn't even be possible. IMHO IGN got it spot on with their criticism. It's not a problem for most of us here - in fact LBP2 will be easier to create with for us. In the video review he was talking about being able to sort out some problems, by tinkering around, but not others. This is where the tutorials should step in to help out. If he sat next to a veteran creator and asked how to do stuff, they would be able to tell him quite easily (e.g. slap a gyroscope on it to stop it spinning). I think basically if you're someone who found creating in LBP1 very difficult, LBP2 is not going to help you much, but it's still a 9/10 game. If you're someone who could create in LBP1, LBP2 will be faster and easier and so it's a 10/10 game.

well I dont know. That would mean if someone was to review the game of chess, but found it difficult then that would be criteria for a review score. That justs seems off to me. Make a point of it being difficult, but dont assume people want it easy. Maybe they should start doing 2 review scores. One that caters to the casual market.

well at least its a 9.0, well IGN it looks like your off the list..... for now

How are the graphics the same for both? And him giving it a - because he's rubbish at create and he says that create is complicated.

the reason why it takes too long is because theres too much content

Alright, that wasn't so bad. 9.0 is less than I'd hope for, but better than I expected. I wouldn't care if it wasn't LBP. Only foreboding thing I read was calling himself dumb a few times. That leaves me thinking non-creators who don't 'play' by solving problems, only have the story mode to focus on and scapegoat in future conversation. I love physics and to me, no platformer is as responsive or nuanced... I will never get the 'floaty' issue. It's like calling Street Fighter twitchy in comparison to Fight Night. It really has nothing to do with intelligence. To me, problem solving, building, craft work, drawing, brain teasing etc has always been "playing". It definitely was fun, not work. Some people 'play' different.

I actually love sackboys so called "floaty controlls" it makes me feel as if I have more free control, unlike say mario for example, where your jump hight and length is very restricted.

Me too. I was always slick at every hardcore platformer that came along on the NES. I've been playing LBP so long that when I went to play New Super Mario on wii, I was literally like 'wtf' at how rigid and digital the jumping and running was. It was like trying to go back and play an early PS1 game and thinking you can use the analog sticks, but can't... or going from Halo to the original Doom.

The best part about IGN reviews is the comment section. Some of those people are a few quarters short of a dollar. It's just a review, people. It doesn't make the game any better or any worse.

I don't agree with IGN at all, i've only seen videos of the beta, and played the demo, but I know already it's going to be infinitely better, the tools make you able to create so much more than LBP1, and there are improved graphics. even though I'm not the best creator, I know that all it takes is getting used to, and he was a little quick to judge. I know I don't really agree, but it's IGN's opinion, and that's alright with me.

I've played soely the demo, and I know the graphics are better. Not only that, but not taking the original score into account is just plain stupid. However, the comments of arguments between IGN fanboys and people who say it deserves more is hilarious

2011-01-04 22:16:00 Author: kirbyman62 Posts: 1893

Well maybe it isn't the same guy? 9.0 is still a stellar score. Personally I'd give 1 a 8.0 and LBP2 a 9.0. Create mode is a huge part of the game, so if you're not into that, the game loses quite a bit, so I can understand if the reviewer marked down the game for that. Someone who's terrible at FPS wouldn't rate Timesplitters 2 very highly, despite TS2 being quite nice.

Real men go on Giant Bomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/)! ...and laugh at Brad Shoemaker for sucking... and watch every single Game Room Quick Look. Yeah, but Brad is most likely going to do the review and quick look with Jeff Gerstmann. They both seemed really really unimpressed at the beta because he had no idea how to use the grappling hook.

I have never liked IGN. They are biased. On top of that a lot of their reviews baffle you. It's like they don't know what they're talking about half the time. I've had a lot of "Are you serious!?" moments watching IGN reviews. And the biasness is very un-professional. I don't think I need to explain what I mean by bias. Anyone that is familiar with IGN knows what I refer to.

2011-01-04 23:19:00 Author: Hana_Kami Posts: 393

Most of the enjoyment and fun comes from creating/ playing community levels. As the games not released and I doubt the reviewer has the time to invest learning the tools and creating something worthwhile, all they are reviewing is the story levels. LBP isnt even a game to me. My interest is in creating and I dont see any better tools on the ps3 to allow me to do that.

2011-01-04 23:50:00 Author: SteveBigGuns Posts: 423

---

Agreed. They really can't review it right now. Nobody else has gotten to play the full game but them. (Except for the beta) Story levels are nothing compared to whats gonna be here in the next couple months.

Dang everybody is hating on IGN, thats like the main game rating site i go to. They arent THAT biased, and they usually have some good points most of the time, they were kinda stupid on the LBP2 review but whatever. 9/10 is a BEAST score on IGN so im not complaining.

I go to IGN for my game reviews but i think they screwed up on LBP2, Seriously.

Can someone post this in the comments section for me, please? I have an IGN account, it's just the comment button doesn't seem to be working on my iTouch. Thanks! Here you go: "Rather than say create mode and the music sequencer were complicated, why don't you just tell the truth and admit you just aren't top notch? You blatantly said that if you had the patience, you could correct any mistakes made, so it's not a create mode issue, it's a learning issue. By the way, if you wanted an object to register as a projectile, slap a tag with a label on the object and have a collision switch detect said tag! Coulda been worse, I guess! Thanks!"

Well we LBP funs so sure we will say it's 10/10 all the time and what reviewers unfair World is not made of LBP fans, whatever you guys say, people like those reviewers (hardcore various games player) are are also one of the groups of who rate your levels.

I've said it a million times and I'll continue to state it for EVERY IGN review you can't spell IGNorant without IGN EDIT: I'll state for the record I didn't bother reading the review or the posts here....but it's obvious IGN is the worst gaming news company in the world...

2011-01-05 07:06:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365

This is outrageous! The possibilities in LBP2 are revolutionizing! Those IGNorant pieces of... It would be different if LBP2 didn't improve as a sequel in every possible way, but the fact that people have built FPS's and RTS's and full games... IGN Sucks. Period.

It's as simple as this... If you've played, created and shared in littlebigplanet AND seen the various YouTube videos of LBP2, you don't really need a reviewer telling you how good it's going to be. You should already know that.

Some more... Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-01-04-littlebigplanet-2-review?page=1) CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=281911) gamestm (http://www.gamestm.co.uk/reviews/littlebigplanet-2-review/) At least IGN got the number of the community levels in lbp1 correct others... The first thing that tells me why I should stop reading any of these reviews are... "over three million levels to date" - Eurogamer (correct somewhat) "but despite the 2.5 million-odd levels it spawned," - computerandvideogames.com (hmm) "and over five million user-created levels" - gamestm.co.uk (ahh...) Though with the rest of the reviews, Everything will be over 9! And there will be plenty of 10s I reckon Edit: http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/littlebigplanet-2/critic-reviews

Im still not sure how they could have rated the game a whole grade lower than a 10. ITS EVEN LOWER THEN LBP1 FOR GODS SAKE!!! Fact is ign dont know how to not play a game for online a week r so and then forget about it. LBP Is a game that requires patients and learning. Its not the kind of game that you can just go "duuururrrrr...... i dhnt UNdderstand dis creAA@tionating..... k byhe.." And the fact that the game is rated lower just for that... argh... 9.0 is still a pretty good review for ign anyways... although people should remember. You cant spell ignorant without IGN.

I think basically if you're someone who found creating in LBP1 very difficult, LBP2 is not going to help you much, but it's still a 9/10 game. If you're someone who could create in LBP1, LBP2 will be faster and easier and so it's a 10/10 game. This made some sense. But kind of contradicted yourself there. Maybe They based it on newer players, and not the one's playing it already. If the creating doesn't change at all for new people, then it's the same game , but with some patches. Now before anyone starts yelling at me, I'm not agreeing with IGN, nor am I agreeing with y'all. (fully) In my eyes LBP2 is a 99/10, 99 because nothing is 100% unless not made by nature.

I think the ign reviewer missed the point of the new tools, i remeber reading in a magazine that Mm wanted to allow noobish creators to make levels that the "master" creators made i.e a side scrolling shooter. after watching the video review the guy was able to make a shooter level based on what he learn from the tutorials, yeah somethings didnt work right straight away but he still got it working in the end, somethings will need to be debug and stuff. marking it down because his own lack of patience with the editor is just stupid

I'm sorry to all the fans, but IGN makes terrible reviews all around. I mean, they thought that GT5 had no car damage and bad AI. It does have damage and good AI (They increase as you level). They just didn't unlock it. That is very unprofessional. Or I'm just bitter because it didn't get a 10/10... xD

Well, after reading it, I'm a little dissapointed in it (the review that is). The guy doesn't even mention anything about the controlinator, sackbots, microchips, or anything logic related whatsoever. I understand he might not be that good at creating because he probably had a time restriction on when the review was due, but he could at least mentioned some of the tools in create that are new. All in all, I think the create portion of the review is lacking.

Why are you all Upset about the Scores..... I read the review. And beyond scores... i noticed the lack of deep in the "review". No entiendo porque se enojan tanto por la calificacion. Es solo eso, una calificacion. Y los numeros son de ese mundo cuantitativo. Pero la experiencia de LBP es una experiecia mas cualitativa. Que no se puede cuantificar. Asi que olvidense de los numeros y entiendan que un diez en una pagina no lo va a hacer un mejor juego. Bueno, pues no me sorprende en absoluto que le hayan dado una calificacion asi al juego. Me parece acertada la calificacion. Ya que la revision es sumamente superficial. A lo largo de todo el texto. No pareciera que estan haciendo una revison. Asi que si el 9.5 esta determinado solo en la superficie, un estudio mas a profundidad del juego rebasaria con creces el 10.

Whoa, harsh... For me, Gametrailers is where it's at anyay. Their reviews are usually a bit later than most but they almost always hit the mark for me. Yeah Gametrailers generally has a fair assessment of games. When I watch their reviews I tend to ignore the final score, I just want to get an overview of the game and make my own decision if I do decide to get it. When it comes to games like LBP2, where I've already made up my mind in advance, I'm a little more invested wanting it to do well.

I'm not saying we should burn down IGN's offices... But we should totally burn down IGN's offices. Or.. should take it for what it's for, a reviewer's opinion, and enjoy that it even got a 90. All while making our own opinions of the game, which is what really matters.

2011-01-11 22:14:00 Author: KoingWolf Posts: 386

IGN is really bias. They bash ps3 exclusives but praise xbox360 exclusives like Halo. I really think the score should be 9.8 or EVEN a 10. LBP2 is that good.

It sounds like a pretty honest review, although it could be anyone's fault for not looking into the tools. Not knowing how to make projectiles sounds silly, but if you're new, you'd probably not know you have to place tags on em.

2011-01-14 12:57:00 Author: Cheezy WEAPON Posts: 283

IGN's review of LBP2 was in my opinion very genuine. A 9.0 is a good score, why are people complaining it didn't get more? Sure, it didn't get a 10, but really, what game deserves that? There's no such thing as perfection, however we might delude ourselves. And yes, I'm as excited about this game as anyone else, but take a chill pill. I don't expect GameSpot or GameTrailers to give this game a perfect score either, even though they've given games that in the past. Ratings change overtime. :< *EDIT* But I'll admit, the review was up pretty fast, he probably could've spent more time on the game than that, but I don't berate him for trying his best to give it a fair review.

IGN's review of LBP2 was in my opinion very genuine. A 9.0 is a good score, why are people complaining it didn't get more? because the reviewer added personal opinion to his review...because he had trouble in create mode factored into the lower then LBP1 score...but since everything in LBP2 is exactly the same if not EASIER then LBP1 then that is what is angering LBP fans about his review. so a whole .5 was removed from the score of the game because the man sucks at create mode (which is understandable since I suck at create mode), but that PERSONAL opinion shouldn't factor into taking off half a point. hope that answers your question. oh and also because people hate IGN...and with good reason...so that's another reason too

2011-01-14 19:09:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365

He acts like crate mode is impossible to make anything on when he saw everything people are making in the beta. he should of rated crate mode off of its potential if you learn how to do it not off of the fact he sucks at it. I agree with you shadow his personal opinion shouldn't undermine a game with limitless potential.
