I've never touched a more broken piece of shit. Bought the game for my kid's birthday because he wanted Little Big Planet. We just got to the first hub world and I've already encountered multiple gamebreaking bugs. If you want to do co-op, the game will infinitely load if you do the first level with more than 1 player. The save data is constantly corrupting. There are multiple parts of said first hub world where you can get stuck and have to do a hard restart of the level. I can't believe I never heard anything about this game being a broken piece of shit when it released
To add insult to injury, Sony shut off LBP3’s servers in April. Outages started in January with a promise of return to service soon. Obviously they decided the fans were too few and the servers too costly for the multi-billion dollar company. Thousands of community made levels are lost forever. You can play on private servers on PS3, but it’ll never be the same.
My kid, whose only video game experience has been playing one community made level on LBP3 on PS4, was so utterly devastated by this that I’ve been considering getting a PS3 copy and searching for that level. It’s been months since we played. Every so often they’ll mention it. We’ll move our furniture to be like the level. We’ll have a great time. Then they’ll want to play the level on the TV. And I have to explain it’s gone. It’s rough. They really loved it.
There's a decent chance the level was backed up by the LBP Lighthouse project (private server sforblnp 1/2/3/hub). Might be worth checking out if you know the name
