Celebrate Independence Day With The Sacktue Of Liberty

@xAnarChisTx:

definitely cute. will make a nice addition to my collection of costumes!

joeloliol

@sentroshi:

only available for one more day, so you better get on that.

joeloliol

@Dillinger23: ouch... I wouldn't have say anything, but it's 'you're', man!
Seriously, three times?

@NoBullet: I'm calling the cops on you. Why? Cause you just killed the joke.

@excel_excel: Thank you, I was waiting for that

@[kotaku.com] I'm surprised to see that LBP actually did fairly well. I guess its performance in the UK (where it didn't seem to set the charts alight and was quickly marked down in price) wasn't representative of its performance elsewhere -- and it must be really disheartening for MM staff to walk into their local game stores and see it being flogged for a ludicrously low price, but I guess that's a discussion for another thread.

tossrStu

@The Pie Pieper: Agreed. I don't own LBP -- hell, I don't even own a PS3 -- but I love seeing what MM pull out of the bag for DLC, and not just the free stuff either; the 2000AD DLC was such a great idea and I doubt Microsoft's licensed avatar clothing will have anything as inspired as that -- I mean, Spartan armour is great for the Halo fanboys and all but I'd much rather have a Megacity Judge helmet -- but we can always hope.

Oops, just realised I'm neglecting my Xbot duties. Hang on a sec.

LBP UNDERPERFORMED AT RETAIL LOOOOLLLL!!!!! SONY AM FAIL!!!!!!!!

Okay. I will now continue to seethe with silent jealousy.

tossrStu

@ShadowOdin isn't american: Mandela sackboy would be awesome!

@jjammerzs: I thought it was just me.

Why do I download every single one of these free costumes, even though I haven't played the game since last Christmas? I guess free is free.

@DarkNessbear:

I now think that anyone that has called me a troll doesn't even do much more than skim over my posts.

You guys missed this, right:

"That said, I really do like the design of this one. Pretty creative."

I've, uh, every right to post in this thread. I'm even far better than the guy that's been disemvoweled and banned because I actually do care about hearing what little goodies they're doling out to you guys. It's the one thing you've got that I can root for.

@Phydeaux: Fair point.

@Phydeaux: Man, Phydeaux. Quit trolling. No one needs your negativity here.

@gurfinki: Quite a few of the costumes were accompanied with materials/stickers/level pack items to use in your own creations.

That aside, I would like to see more level packs. Those MGS levels were worlds better than most of the user created... things... I've run through. More pro created levels would be great, especially if they're part of a costume pack.

GoW levels would have been great.

ARCH_27

@Ryguy226: I get Friday and Monday off. Yay for commercial/industrial steel fabrication!

ARCH_27

@jjammerzs: Don't make me cry. D=

@Michael Dukakis the stunned yet hopeful Mets fan: Well played, sir. I think that would be a good DLC pack. I envision it would be loads of fun.

@reuvenb: What are you, a Communist?

@NoBullet: No, not really.

@Phydeaux: should you even be in this thread if your not interested in a game where it shows your not even interested in the changes due to 'damages' already done? or is this a new form of trolling.

@danw13335: I'm a grouchy old man.

@Andrefpvs: same. mm is not listening.

nonpareil

@janai: I know, me too.
That cardboard costume passed by me at first, but when I noticed it, I was like "Ohohoh, that's interesting."

@waywardchemist: Its odd that a British company is making videogames for an American invention.

@fELIXADER: Yeah a lot of stupid shit happened in the past around the world. Shut the fuck up.

@HELLSRIDER is playing Mother 3:

I agree. But that fun would be enhanced a lot if the users were given even more options to make their levels more varied. That's where new tools and level and items come in handy, like the MGS pack.

gurfinki

@ShadowOdin isn't american:

I was talking about the quality of the DLC, not the quantity. 99% of the LBP's DLC is just costumes, costumes, costumes. That doesn't add ANYTHING at all to the playing experience, unlike the MGS creator pack, which even included levels.

gurfinki

@Phydeaux: You're just a bundle of joy today, aren't you Phydeaux?

@uchennaokafor: And actually, no, it's like a trickle-down white collar crime system.

You fuck over a bunch of people like Madoff did, more than a few of them will stray off into a life of crime to try to recoup what they lost. I'm even just talking about the ones that'll get caught. You watch.

Everything effects everything.

Wow, way to be racist Media Molecule. Wheres my canada outfit. I mean, canada day is july 1st. Therefor making it even better then the fourth of july. Bah, see if I download your hate DLC.

@Curse_Lily:

Suck it, Madoff

@waywardchemist: Well done.

@FyreWulff: Guess it's a regional thing, then.

Day doesn't go by where I run into an otherwise well-adjusted military service person who says some stupid shit like Old Union is the highest ranking official in their branch or that they fought and watched people die for that flag.

It takes every fiber of my being to not strike back that we give sacrifices for our country; our countrymen. Not politicians and colors.

@Mike Fahey:

That's what he get for disrespecting sack-lady-liberty so close to July 4th!

Movin' on up....

cfive3

@Archaotic:

Nope, because there's articles that can easily be dug up in regards to the Mm staff saying one thing during the beta and then double-speaking when Sony's Legal hounds told them to remove "intellectual property infringing" material.

Neither group can identify exactly what type of game it is, since Mm couldn't/wouldn't stick to their guns about how every single one of the user-made creations in the game is covered by parody law.

@uchennaokafor: No, but thanks for carrying on the LBP stereotype of calling everyone who calls out your subpar game a retarded fanboy. You do your community proud.

@reuvenb: This just in: banned!

@uchennaokafor:

There's a difference between stealing poor people's. money and stealing rich people's money. One is legal and one is not. Madoff stole from rich people.

I love MM, they are always giving away great holiday stuff. Too bad we could never have something like this on the 360.

@reynoldswrap:

You must be pretty smart if you can sell LBP for more than you bought it for. You're a Meekrob.

@Tenshigure: I concur. A holiday that typically gives time off should always be occompanied by a day off, regardless of whether it falls on a weekend or not. Of course, this doesn't help people who have hourly wages with variable weeks, those people always get shafted when a holiday falls on their day off. I remember those days well.

What? No Uncle Sack costume?

iFOREIGNi

@Curse_Lily: I think a lot of people would like to "declare their love".

@[en.wikipedia.org])

@waywardchemist: I was gonna comment, but didn't want to seem like a prick. But you pulled it off.

@ShadowOdin isn't american: And cos York is awesome.

@Crono51: Oops, my last comment was directed to reuvenb, not undefined.

Crono51

@Gossy loves yo' mamma's flapjacks: I would definately buy a LBP levelpack similar to the Metal Gear one as long as it including Proton blasters.

Jakaricat1

@jjammerzs: She's totally showing some sideboob.

Jakaricat1

I would have preferred an Uncle Sam Sack Boy, that way when I lose online, I don't have to slap the guy, I can grin and point at the screen.

@Phydeaux: I've never really seen flag fetishism at all.

However, went I went to Canada, the fucking maple leaf was plastered all over everything. I couldn't look in any direction without seeing a Canadian flag or the maple leaf. Here, I have to actually walk by a government building to see an american flag.

@reuvenb: Agreed.

@undefined:

You're at a website that considers videogame-themed cakes, pumpkins, soaps, (etc, the list goes on) all news, yet you complain about actual content for an actual game? Try a different site.

Crono51

Lovely ! This is one of the best sackboy costume :) Hope this J-PSN will have it soon.

jellyfish

@Phydeaux: What? Are you five or just a retarded fanboy? The system has recieved significant changes since launch time and I suggest you check up on them.

Fuck. I forgot to download the Druid Sackboy costume last week.

Shadowhunter72

I call blasphemy on this for it insinuates that Liberty can FAIL!

/me stands proudly with Captain America Sheild

@Phydeaux: Your closed-mindedness is astounding. Congratulations.

You do realize it was asshole PLAYERS causing the grief issues, right? Once they remixed the Grief system to stop people from getting levels taken down out of spite,the game opened up quite a bit. Yes, there is still a ton of shit on there, but there are some amazing levels to be found, and you're doing yourself a disservice if you dismiss the entire game out of hand because of the actions of a select few douchebags.

@Archaotic: Don't believe you, don't care, damage is done.

@HELLSRIDER is playing Mother 3:

"Wrong, Ive played...."

"but I have to admit that it does get boring..."

Stop while you're ahead.

@reuvenb:

This just in..reuvenb posts useless drivel.More news at 11. Back to you Chuck.

@emwurst: Yeah no kidding ^_^

@ShadowOdin isn't american: You can "declare your love" for me i don't mind (^3^) ❤

love sackboys; hate patriotism.

@Tenshigure: I don't care what other countries do.

It's that we shouldn't have a religious affection for a piece of cloth is what should set us apart from, oh, say, totalitarian dictatorships.

I used to be annoyed heavily at white-trash that would wave around Dixie as something that binds people together today, rather than leaving it back in history, but I find myself more annoyed with people who think you should be executed because you burn or piss on the flag, when they can't even recite the Flag Code and follow it to save their lives.

@Cururu: The puritanians realized that the gate to their country could not be named after a city that in the future will be known for legal prostitution and "special"-brownies

@gurfinki: Its because the most fun you get from the game is by downloading the good levels fans make.

@fELIXADER: "Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free"

does that refer to PS3 owners? apologies, but i couldn't help it.

@undefined: Hahaha you win. By the way on an off topic note.

FUCK MADOFFs VICTIMS!!! Yeah I said it, guy gets 150 years for cheating ignorant fools who let their greed get in the way of balanced and educated investing. I see child rapists and murderers getting away with much much less yet stealing from the wealthy is some kind of taboo. Serve it with honour Madoff haha, you got my support.

@Archaotic: Well, Europe has yet to see it

@reuvenb: I hate people.

@Ryguy226: My place of business is doing the same, so I wouldn't be surprised if many other places are doing this as well to be honest. I'm glad, it was an unexpected surprise!

@gurfinki: Haven't they over-delivered on the DLC though? Few games aside from Music-games gets this many updates.

But I agree that they should release more. It's been out since November. They could've at least released the FFVII-costumes which were announced last year on E3 and were already done.

@Phydeaux: You do realize that the level-griefing from around launch is completely gone now, right? There are entire Mega Man levels, as well as a COMPLETE REMAKE OF CONTRA on the LBP servers. The game is worth playing. Stop whining.

@Phydeaux: Wrong, Ive played the game its not repetitive when youre goiong through it, but I have to admit that it does get boring after like the...7th time you play through most levels. It takes long but it does get old.

@Phydeaux: Yes, because there's no other country out there that takes pride in their flags...oh wait, please name a country that DOESN'T.

@ShadowOdin isn't american: Came out during E3.

@emwurst: guy said he wanted some "real news" so she totally burned him by sending him to a "real news" site. funniest thing i seen/read all day.

@Cururu: I guess people just liked it better that way.

@(Zombie) Jolan: You guys are easily impressed lol

emwurst

@Archaotic: He doesn't care. It's not a first person shooter.

Ferkner

@waywardchemist: hahahah that was nice.

@Phydeaux: I've got possibly the best levels in the game hearted on LBP, and I've played them for months. They haven't got deleted, so I don't know WHAT you're smoking. Maybe you should make your own level. It's fun.

njd09

@sentroshi: yes
I just got it.
despite not having played the game since november.

@ShadowOdin isn't american: think it is already, might be wrong, not really interested tbqh

@Snappywave: Subtitle option for the Deaf please: Who needs it? Lady Liberty can stand on her own.

4th of July or no, I am kind of tired of America's flag fetishism.

W-WAiIIT! Hold up! Last week's FREE druid costume? Is it still free?!

@Archaotic: Maybe When FF: AACC (always forget which letter is the doubled one) comes out in the west on Blu-Ray

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Whether she's naked under that toga. She *is* French. You know that.

Mentuss

@reuvenb: That said, I really do like the design of this one. Pretty creative.

@noliferuin (PSN+XBL): Oh no you di'int. +1

@Archaotic: If by "crazy" you mean "repetitious" and "online levels" you mean "90% worthless horseshit and 10% will be gone tomorrow after they get Good Grief'd for no reason this evening".

Little Big Planet's been out for quite some time now, and up to this point, they haven't released anything but costumes, except for the MGS level pack and the inclusion of the Paintinator.

They should release more level and item packs, really. I'm not willing to pay cash just for costumes, and I think they're charging too much just for outfits that don't really add anything to the playing experience.

Media Molecule did an awesome job on the game itself, but they seriously have under-delivered on the DLC department, IMO. : (

gurfinki

@emwurst: he posted a link to real news, on CNN

@ShadowOdin isn't american: I know! I wonder why they changed the name?

Cururu

Do we really need to pander to americans who thinks they day of independence is the fo' shizzle?
How about celebrating the independence of people under an actually oppressive regime?
I want my Mandela-Sackboy damnit.

Euro-rage aside, I love this to pieces. The pieces of cardboard are pure genius. I wish to declare my love for Media Molecule again, but I think I might be overdoing it and maybe scare them away.

@ @reuvenb: I'm tired of hearing people bitch about custom sackboys. Give me real comments.
P.S. Get the stick out of your ass.
P.P.S. Curse_Lily things like that are why I follow you.

@Curse_Lily: his lawyers were clearly on drugs when they requested a 12-year sentence.

Is it odd that a British developer is commemorating the American revolution against the British by recreating an iconic French gift for a Japanese console?

Mabye Walt was right. It's a small world afterall.

@Cururu: Man, I loved it in New Amsterdam, best city ever

@reuvenb: Wow angry about free stuff, what a dowshbag lol!

Can someone explain to me what Curse_Lily did? I'd love to join in the celebration.

emwurst

Ohh boy. I haven't played this game in longer than ages.

I should really get out there and see what community-awesomeness has been put together recently.

Once I get moved and set up my new television, it's happening.

The Forgetful Brain

@reynoldswrap: fond of an early climax. you must be a hit with the ladies.

@reuvenb: Yet you like it because you get to be a first-troll-dressing-as-a-not-news-troll....

The Forgetful Brain

July 4th falling on a Saturday is definitely an epic fail...unless you work for the Government, like myself, then you get Friday off :D

@Snappywave: Subtitle option for the Deaf please:The flag in mid-motion is the background of the entire thing. Look closer.

WE NEED LEVEL PACKS like MGS and FINAL FANTASY... AND STUFF

@Curse_Lily: ...add another follower to your list.

I dig knowing about custom sack-folk. Keep the stories coming.

@reynoldswrap: Congratulations. You essentially did the equivalent of ditching Super Mario Bros. 1 for being boring after beating only World 1-1.

You do realize the game gets CRAZY as it progresses, and the online levels increase its playability at least a hundredfold, right?

@Ursus-Veritas: Only thing is, most of these free sackboys are only available for a limited time. You may have to wait until next 4th of July for this one. But maybe next year, it'll be Uncle Sam Sackboy instead!

Malthius

@Jaga420: My guess would be around the release of FFXIII. So probably 2012.

Showmeyomoves!

@reuvenb: I actually agree. Then again, I played LBP for about two hours, got sick of it, and sold it used for a profit.

reynoldswrap

@Jaga420: It's gonna be a while. I would expect them to hit, at this point, when FF13 launches. Maybe Dissidia if you're lucky.

@MellowJade: Don't you mean New Amsterdam?

Cururu

Where's the USA flag?

Snappywave: Subtitle option for the Deaf please

@Curse_Lily: *clicks follow button*

And go to hell, reuven. As someone who can't wait to get a PS3 and consequently, LBP, I love seeing all the cool little sackboys.

@Jaga420: as did I.

@fELIXADER: I've never seen a bigger contradiction than all the hassle you go through to get past US immigration checks followed by the sign "Welcome to the United States of America". They should swap it for a sign saying. "This is America, are you still here!?!"

ThursdayNext

@Curse_Lily: Curse_Lily wins. Flawless Victory.

Makes me think of when New York City was a great place to live.

@reuvenb: I'm tired of you clicking on stories then saying that your tired of clicking on stories that your tired of.

Don't click the damn stories if your tired of them.

Dillinger23

I want more level packs. LEVEL PACKS!

@Michael Dukakis the stunned yet hopeful Mets fan: I lol'd

@Curse_Lily: Oh snap!!!

They should make a Ghostbusters crossover... but it may not be safe to cross the... franchises.

@fELIXADER: How things change. ^^

Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free,

And perhabs beeing imprisoned, if they have the wrong look or are coming from the wrong country. ^^

Well in the past they directly had to join in the colonial and civil wars withouth even really beeing inside of the US. ^^

AWWWWWW, and it's outfit is made out of cardboard!

OHSOCUTE!!!!!

Something about the Statue of Liberty and a sack doesn't seem right.

Anyone else found this sack girl kinda .... (turns head left, and right) hot?!

Breathe free, actually, but close enough. ;) [en.wikipedia.org]

The corrugated-cardboard look is what really seals this for me. So. cute.

janai

@reuvenb: Here you go enjoy

[money.cnn.com]

That's awesome. I'd get it if I actually had the game :/
When are the coming out with the FF7 sackboys?

Awesome! That is SO mine!!!
