Instead of torturing us with wondering what it was, if nobody has posted after you (which I've now ruined, you're welcome), just delete your post with the X.

I feel like I need some kind of armor for the hate this is going to bring my way, but I think LittleBigPlanet is quite honestly the worst platform game I've ever played. The level design is sloppy and the jump mechanics in this are absolute garbage. Sack boy is easily the most frustrating character I ever controlled in a platform game. Everything about the way he moves and jumps is just AWFUL. He makes Belmont from the original Castlevania seem graceful by comparison

Exactly what I think. Can't wrap my head around how anyone could stand it.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

LBP is physics based. There almost needs to be a new sub genre for 'physics based platformers' as they are so common these days. If you don't like the way LBP controls, you likely don't like Trine, World of Goo, etc etc. I hated them at first because they are so different than their non-physics based cousins .. but after a few good ol' college tries, I began to understand the differences and love them.

I think LBP is brilliant.

True, though it seems like a very awkward, inaccurate, and sluggish version of real life physics.

And you're right, I don't like either of those other two games you mentioned.

From what I played of it, the levels are designed like traditional platform levels, yet you have this very physics based playable character. It's a dumb combination as the levels seem like they could have worked with a very traditional movement scheme and aren't really designed around the way that sackboy moves.

I just can't get past that and enjoy the game. If AppleQueso wants to call that controversial, I think it's interesting to note that a number of reviews I've seen point out how awkward the way sackboy moves is, yet for whatever reason LBP just gets a free pass and gets high scores regardless. I just tell it like I see it, and I just don't enjoy this game

I originally posted this in the PSN ID thread, but felt that was not the appropriate place.

I am getting a lot of messages and chat requests telling me about $50 and $100 codes for PSN. I am receiving around 2 or 3 a day. These are already known to be used codes/scams/chain letters. Some are coming from fellow Racket members. So a heads up, I am deleting anyone I receive this spam from.
