Community Prizes. Love 'em or leave 'em?

Archive: 5 posts


Aside from tool kits, I generally don't like getting community prizes. I keep prizes off unless I need something useful. Which is why my upcoming level is going to make me a hypocrite. One of my specialties on LBP is making toys my friends like to play with in create mode.

My current project allows you to build with Lego-like bricks in a sandbox environment. I am working on logic that rewards you with the bricks you built your model with, along with a master brick to make building with them easier on your own moon. The prizes will be optional, they are not forced on you.

Which brings me to the title of this topic. Do you like community prizes? Have you ever used them? Have you ever just played around with things other people make on your moon? Or am I doing this for nothing because, like me, you make all your own toys? I mainly started this project so that my son could play with quality Lego style bricks in LBP. But feedback from friends is positive, so that is why I am going through the trouble of a prize system.

I have my own bipolar feel about the community prizes too. I love when I gather some useful tools, like logic chips or level kits, but I just hate when it comes to "random objects used in the level I made, lololol" (even if I commited it myself in the past).

Most of the time, nobody will use your fluffy panda, your cardboard cutout of squarepants spongebob, or the cool eye-candy house that you're proud of. Why? Because it doesn't always suit the level you're currently making. I have a dragon. I mean, a perfectly full, flying, operational dragon, that I got as a prize from an awesome LBP2 community level (which I don't remember the name). And yet, I'm never going to use it. It has its own spot on my moon, but I know I will never use it because it filled only the purpose of its own creator. If I need a dragon, it probably wouldn't have all of its features.

Using community objects is like trying to make an anonymous letter out of the words you take in the newspaper. You'll end to write what you want, but it'll take a ludicrous time just to find the good words in the whole mess, and it will be much funnier and less time-consuming to write it all by yourself with your own pen.

Of course, my comparison is bad and will surely take you in jail. But you have the point: using a pen will grant you more freedom to write what you want than using the bad tools. So, if your community prizes are the pens, yes.
I like pens.
Wait. That sounds bad.

If they're costumes that don't require an overload of DLC, I'll take em.

If they're just regular objects that I'll never use, no.

I just hate it when i find myself jumping over large prize bubbles in some sort of unintentional sub-challenge.

The more useful or relevant objects are the ones i go for, like logic, music and helpful glitches just to name a few.

Guess its down to what level your making at the time or what particularly interests you.

The only time I actually want community prizes is when I specifically play a level for a prize...for example a glitch tutorial level or some kinda tool. If it's just some random level, I don't want a prize. I actually think it's kinda rude to force people to collect prizes in your level.2013-12-13 23:22:00
