I don't see a need for compensation..... Not exactly sure what problems you are having but I have managed to get through the entire story with no problems and everything else seems to be working just fine. No game can ever be flawless and at least they are working on the issues and keeping us up to date!

Keep in mind that your experience with the game is not the same as everyone else's. I didn't have many issues myself, but other people have mentioned a rather surprising amount of bugs that this game has come with.

I'd be happy with ALL my dlc and story mode items back. Also if they could squash a few of the more serious bugs would be nice.

Not sure if I need compensation though. Just want what was promised. In a timely manner...

I would love compensation! :arg:

But not something like DLC. A nice compensation would be that something like this doesn't happen again!

well, falling through the floor on some levels in story, game crashes,... and on create mode: my LBP1 and LBP2 sounds are missing,and I can't place stickers, that's really annoying, these issues limits my creations. other people have more issues like freezes, DLC missing and online troubles...there is more than 95 glitches
clearly the game has not gone beyond the stage of beta...

It's pretty obvious from around the web that this game is far from complete, every top comment on their FB page is "where's the DLC? When's the patch coming?"

But for some unknown reason they keep posting things like...

"What To Do in Your First Week!
Play LBP3 Beta Levels, Collect Free Launch Spacesuit DLC and More!"

And the thing is the majority of people are complaining about the game being broken, completely.

Unplayable.

It doesn't work, sure I have come to accept a few bugs here and there especially in the LBP series being so ambitious as it is, some even work in our favor.

But when the game is unplayable and the company that made it are out there saying "this is what you can do........soon. Hopefully. Money plz."

And I've given them money already, it's well.....you know? Not too shabby in my honest opinion.

I do have faith, which will turn to hope shortly that the game will be playable with my LBP 1 and 2 content and all the DLC.

So yeah it's fully backwards compatible.......just not yet.

I think what they need to do is a "Re-Launch" create a level(not hard considering thats 90% of the game) saying sorry, a costume, even just a shirt, big ending....fireworks.....Sleepyhead.

You know not much either way.

- - - - - - - - - -

I've come across another rather big issue and that is:

I have a PS4, no PS4 camera.

I can't use my MOVE controller to play through the MOVE DLC that I've paid for......rather annoying.

What everyone needs is patience. We know the game has glitches their 100 threads on every littlebigplanet fan site complaing about them. Let sumo handle the glitches. No one needs free dlc thats selfish what everyone needs is... Patience. If the game doesnt work for you im sorry ive played it my profile has corrupted once my atuff hasnt transferred i understand but i played create and stort mode and ive enjoyed all the hours i have put into the game glitches and all. This isnt the first time a game has had glitches but everyone needs to relax for second and let them do their job.

In the whole story mode I didn't saw a very terrible bug, but a compensation as apologize is needed.
Why? Most DLC don't work. We paid for them. And now we can wait a month for only to have to unlock everything again. We can't edit our old levels because of that.
Sony gave us a free game because they got hacked. That was not their fault, and still they gave us a whole game.
Ubisoft gave a free DLC for their terrible release. LBP3's release is terrible too. I don't want free DLCs, but a discount on every DLC. Sry, but it's Sumo Digitals fault. They knew their game is buggy and the DLC are uncompatible and they still released it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this game and the missing DLC are not too bad for me, but a release like this is just unforgivable. Same goes to ACUnity.
That seems to be trendy now..

Yes we do need compensation, I would say 3 free dlcs of our choosing. There is no excuse, the game should of had a more extensive beta, which should still be running. And the game only given a release date after bugs space out. People have bought ps4s for this game (me included) and for some of you to say "oh just wait poor them" thats giving all corporates the freedom to keep doing this sort of thing.

also I am sure that sumo digital didn't want to release this game yet, it's only the corporate side that forces this sort of thing.

So yes would be nice to repurchase my dlc just so I can move on with my already started projects.

Perhaps a FREE timesavers pack? I don't want to unlock everything again from the DLC I already 100% completed it all in LBP2, also considering I no longer own a Vita and do not wish to buy a PS4 camera.. I won't be able to play and unlock prizes from the Cross Controller and Move pack, which I ALREADY did in LBP2!

How about DLC that lets us unlock everything that's already in the game? Since I can't unlock all the LBP3 content because of glitches, give me the option to purchase an unlock key that will give me everything. I'll even pay a buck for it. LOOK MORE MONEY!

I'd much rather them just fix the game.

I don't care about silly hats or anything, I just wanna be able to play multiplayer and create without constant crashing.

I'm not sure if you serious or trying to mock purchasable content but the Timesavers DLC exists for that sole purpose.

The game crashed on me just 10 minutes ago, joined a pretty decent player to. Good conversation-ist. I was going to add them but... BAM!

Are you telling me I can pay to unlock all the LBP3 content right now? Ok I'll check the store.

EDIT: I am not seeing this timesavers thing you speak of or DLC of any kind for LBP3.

Sorry. I misread some information. Ha! Silly me. I was convinced there was Timesaver DLC of LBP3, like the Vita and Karting. Again, my apologises.

You can go into your Playstation menu and look up 'recent players met' and send the friend request to that guy that you crashed on.

You have enjoyed it, and your experience is not the same as everyone else's. It isn't the first time a game has had glitches, you are right, but that statement couldn't be more irrelevant. We're not talking about a game where you fall through in this one spot in the whole game, and we're not talking about a game that some odd thing happens very rarely. This game has far too many glitches for a released game; glitches that have made it unplayable for some. And we are letting them do their job; and part of that job is to make sure things like this do not happen. But it has happened, and a game in this bad of a state is horrible.

With this said, I do have patience and am waiting (More of hoping) that these bugs, or at least a vast majority of them, get fixed. But I am wondering how long we WILL have to wait.

I got more out of LBP than any 10 other games. Same goes for LBP2. There were some nasty bugs in LBP: players would get locked out of levels they'd spent weeks creating or had their entire profile destroyed by corruption. Despite that, I didn't have the slightest reservation in buying LBP2 or LBP3. I haven't seen any of these "game breaking" glitches. Create has crashed on me a few times, I'm missing a good chunk of the content from the previous games and I'm missing much of my DLC, including pieces I need for nearly every costume I've created, but I trust that it'll be sorted out reasonably soon and I can continue to work on my projects in the meantime. Given the choice between things as they are and waiting another month or two before getting the game at all, I'll take things as they are and, so long as the bugs get worked out, I don't feel anybody owes me anything.

If you're really so offended by the game being "broken," then don't buy games until they've been tested. Don't pre-order and don't buy on day one; wait until the word of mouth gets around so you can know exactly what you're buying and just don't give your money for glitchy games.

You can keep your patience, I'll keep my right for a finished prodct on RELEASE. Do you buy movies with parts that won't play or a car without functionning headlghts? Didn't think so...

Again. Your experience is not the same as others. It's good for you that you have not had the major issues, but some have.

As for that last part. That is something that a consumer should never have to say. When that starts happening in the kind of industry that is games, then companies can take advantage of the ignorance of the buyer. This game is not just sold to the people who go on this site and are more knowledgeable about these possibilities. These games are sold to children, either bought by their parents or themselves. If you're expecting these children or parents, (Who may have busy lives or other things they like to focus more on) to feel that they HAVE to do that research and not rely on business ethics, or the trust between the customer and salesman, then that is a bad sign.

Part of that trust, is that these games HAVE been tested, which is a common practice in game development. Sure, games tend to have bugs, but when there are more than a few reports of bugs that render some consumers unable to use the product, then there is a problem.

Although, I will personally wait for those patches and I am happy that I have not had the bad luck of others with the bigger bugs. I have hope that Sumo will eventually release the patches. But there is the potential that this could be similar to Battlefield, and that is something I hope does not happen because this game is great.

That's all true and business ethics should be sufficient, but we can clearly see, particularly with the Assassin's Creed case, that they're not. Unless some sort of regulatory body is formed to deal with these things, the ONLY way consumers are going to see a change is to not give them money. If Ubisoft were ethical, they wouldn't have released Assassin's Creed until it was finished. Since they're not, the lesson there is don't buy Ubisoft games until you know they're finished. If you hit the publishers in their wallets, they'll make their devs do better.

I acknowledge that I've had better luck than some with LBP3, but I still think the problems are being overblown. Like the "controversy" over the bending iPhone6 where it turned out that relatively few people actually had the problem, I think were hearing more from the people who are experiencing difficulty than from those who aren't. There's nothing wrong with that: I certainly wouldn't want a flood of posts saying "Everything is fine for me," but you have to realize that, just because you hear about it on the internet, doesn't mean it's as prevalent as it sounds.

Just to clarify, I'm not trying to say there's no fault here. I'm just saying it's not a torches and pitchforks situation. I'm hoping we'll start to see some of these issues resolved and some or all of the DLC showing up in the store next week (I was actually surprised nothing happened this week). Mm usually responded fairly quickly to these things and I'm hoping Sumo does too.

Also, and I've said this in a few other places, grab a thumbdrive and back up your profile!! I do this weekly: I only needed one corrupted profile back in the LBP1 days to make me paranoid.Just because everything isn't as bad as it's being made out to be, doesn't mean you shouldn't take precautions.

Yeah. Although like most things with problems, people focus more on the bad than the good with products. When something good is made and the consumer feels that they have not been swindled or whatever you want to call it, they tend not to voice the fact that their expectations of a product was what they expected. It's usually when something surpasses expectations when people talk about the wonderfulness of something. Although with the bad things; nobody expects that anything will be wrong with their product because people focus more on the bad, unless they take into consideration that there may be bad things wrong with the product in regards to the industry expectation; Like a few bugs, issues that need to be sorted out through time, etc. So when something bad happens, it pops up more. I realize that the internet is not always telling the truth, but these issues in LBP3 are very numerous and seem to be fairly common complaints amongst the ones who have voiced about them; not all the bugs have been voiced often, but a surprising portion of them have been.

I was actually pretty surprised to not see much done this past week as well. At least... I personally haven't seen anything pop up where it was like "These are the fixes so far!", so IF there has been anything done over this week, nothing has really shown it. But Sumo is not MM, and as much as I'd like to believe MM had chosen a great group to take on LBP3, perhaps they were not entirely ready.

And yes. Precautions are something everyone should take. Honestly, there should be a sticky in the Help section to let people know that they should be backing up their profiles. I know there's a thread somewhere about backing up the profiles, but it'd seem more helpful if it was in the help section.

As for making the devs be the ones to work harder. I am not sure that they should be the focus. Most of what I read and heard is that there are deadlines put onto the devs by the publishers or higher ups. Sometimes they even overwork the devs. It should be the guys that stress the devs who should relax more on their deadlines and such.
