Little Big Planet: Is this the game of the year?
- Thread starter WeasteDevil
- Start date
A baseless fact used to help your assumption I guess
LBP is on route to being the highest rated console exclusive
How how you worked out majority of Muslims are idiots?
Do you realise Muslims have lived in the UK since the 186o's? A lot of Muslims, may be a majority are just as British as any other person born in the UK. So where do you propose they go back to?
Are you sure you do not have enough words in your vocabulary to call it a headgear/headcovering than call it a rag?
When did I call them idiots?
I'm on about the ones that have recently come over from where ever (mainly Iraq/Iran etc) surely you can see that?
And fair enough.
There is very limited immigration from Iran. The Iraqis are mostly refugees, and not very many
Can you please draw my attention to any trouble these particular groups are causing the host nation?
Its quite a popular phrase from kids. I remember him posting "bloody rag heads" before on this forum. Wrongly phrased like...
I agree, I ignored it but the lad has kept digging.
"I have Muslim friends" 
I'l have to take your word on that.
There not causing "trouble" it's just all these little petty things like two sentences in a song or the teddy bear being called Mahummad and they go nuts.
I tried to make it go back on topic hence me asking asking for the release date in the reply to earlier. I've hardly been digging i've jujst answerd to people asking the questions.
"I have Muslim friends"
What? I do, though I admit it is only 2 people..
The teddy bear episode occured in Sudan, and we're not sure if the writer of the email resides in the UK. Even if he does, he has every right to ask the developers for a slight change to the lyrics. If they don't agree to his request then it's their right.
You went on a general BNP type rant regards Muslims in the UK.
Well then i mean in any country
How odd. I have no Muslim friends, yet I'm not a bigot. I think we've turned it around.

Iteresting how different people can interpret things in different ways. Is his point that because he was not singing in Arabic, that's why there was not a problem?
Musician defends Sony game song
Toumani Diabate plays the kora, or West African harp
The Malian musician whose song is being removed from a Sony video game because of concern it may offend Muslims has denied the music was blasphemous.
Grammy award-winning Toumani Diabate said the song celebrated the Koran.
"In my family there are only two things we know - the Koran and the kora [West African harp]," he told the BBC.
The release of the much-anticipated LittleBigPlanet was delayed when it was found that a background music track included two phrases from the Koran.
Copies of the game are being removed from shops around the world.
Diabate, a Muslim, said it was normal in Mali to mix religion and music.
"I'm really sad and I'm disappointed," he said.
"I don't want anybody to joke with Islam and to not respect Islam."
Warning
The game's creator, Media Molecule, said it was alerted to the problem by a Muslim gamer who had been playing a trial version.
The gamer had warned in an e-mail that mixing music and words from Islam's most holy text could be considered deeply offensive by Muslims.
A Sony spokesman said earlier this week that the company had decided on global recall to make sure there was "no possible way anyone may be offended by the music in the game".
At the time, a spokesman for the Muslim Forum think-tank praised Sony for its decision, saying the Koran should not be set to music because the words are seen to have come directly from God.
Diabate said his song, Tapha Niang, was recorded in 2004.
It was released on the album Boulevard de l'Independance in 2006.
The changed version of LittleBigPlanet will now go on sale on 3 November in the UK and 29 October in the US.

So when this actually being released in the UK? I need something to keep me busy with my PS3 till my 360's fixed.

You have R2 in a week or 2.

It was today here. Lots of Arabs they don't want to upset.
I hope Kaos hasn't made the trip to Blockbusters
Goddamit Weaste, was this a windup?? - I asked them at the till and they looked at me weirdly and pointed out its being released on the 5th
Ahh well the trip wasnt that much of a waste, I saw a Blu-ray copy of Blade Runner for a tenner and I hadnt seen the film so I though why not. Will give it a watch now.

You must have felt like a twit.
So you've finally got a Blu-Ray movie, the quality is excellent.
Here here.
..I have about 10 lol, and yes its frickin epic on my 40 inch 1080p LCD and my sony DAV home cinema system
I have a 37" LCD 1080p, but I don't have a Sony DAV Home Cinema System:sighs:
I should take a picture of it with a written note pointing out that I have one and you dont...
I dare you.
No, it's released now in the EU. I saw it on the shelves this morning.
UK release date is later than the EU release date.
Fecking David Cameron and his Eurosceptic cnuts.
Kinda in the air whether to buy this. . . is it something adults can play and enjoy?
Supposedly ONLY adults can enjoy it given the complexity of the puzzles....or so I've heard.
I absolutely love this game. Already it seems like the type of game that i don't wanna spend hours upon end playing consecutively, but whenever i'm bored and need something to do i can always rely on it to keep me entertained, and ther'll always be something new there for me to do.
It's simply a fun, light hearted game, which you don't see very often, and probably won't in future, on the next gen consoles.

Lemmings effect. Kids couldn't really play that either. I'm sure that kids would have no bother with the simpler levels.
bought this puppy the other day havent had alot of time on her but from what I have experienced its fantastic from a graphics to playability to the soundtrack it is really well put together my only quibble(s) would be the controls being slightly clunky and when you die you only get three respawns as such from the portals you pass along the way.
This is what I like about it, it's old schoolish. Take any of the older classics, you lose all of your lives and you go back to the very start. Of course, you should in such a scenario have opportunities to regain health/lives some way or another.
Picked this up today, will give it a go before I go out.
Picked this up yesterday.
Was a bit skeptical at first, thought perhaps it might be a bit childish. . . wrong.
It's fun and it's quite challenging trying to "100%" the levels to get all the unlockables. My girlfriend can't stand video games, but even she had a go - she couldn't resist.
It's just fun - simple as that.

Bought it. Wish I hadn't.
All about collecting loads of pointless shite, whilst progressing through (beautiful looking, to be fair) fairly standard platforming, run and jump stuff.
Fatally flawed by clunky controls and the weird way it tries to give a 2D platformer an extra dimension. Completely pointless and makes progressing through it into a bit of a lottery.
Which makes it pretty much unplayable when losing a few lives means you have to restart the whole level.
Hugely disappointing, IMO.

Great game. Been playing it for a few days now. Multiplayer is brilliant, it's almost hard going back to single player once you've gone online or had friends over.
You've never liked it from the beginning though, so why did you buy it?
Too..many..games..out..at...the...minute....
Cant..cope...
Not..enough...time...
Not put any other game (other than Madden) in my consoles since buying Fallout though. Had a busy week at work too. LBP will be purchased soon I should think!

I wasn't impressed by the concept, no, but it got such great reviews (including several in this thread) that I thought it might be one of those games that is much more fun to play than it sounds on paper.
Unfortunately, it's exactly as fun as it sounds i.e. not very
I've created a few levels, search Solius if you want to play them. They're alright I guess for my first few tries.
