    Playstation Plus required for Solo Arcade!?! Ridiculous. See LittleBigPlanet 3.

    I just bought this game and I am very angry to find out that I cannot play solo maps (even my own!) without signing up to Playstation Plus.

    I understand that Online Multiplayer is locked behind a pay wall (as stated in game and on the box) but the fact that Solo Maps (even playing my own) are locked behind a pay wall is disgusting. This is not mentioned on the box (which states "network players 2-12 Playstation Plus Subscription Required"), and the game just treats solo and multiplayer as one in the same, when they are clearly not.

    I have Little Big Planet 3 on PS4, and am able to play my own levels, and others created by people online, without having to pay for a Playstation Plus membership, so I'm not sure why this game will not let me do the same.

    Please fix this issue as this was the major reason I bought the game. Allowing me to spend hours creating a map only to find I cannot play it is ridiculous.

    Unless it's stated somewhere on the box that all online features require Plus, then that's literally a case of false advertising.

    Meaning that Ubisoft is legally obligated to honor the description of the product as stated on the box.

    Agreed

    It's total ********. Ps plus isn't required for player made levels in trials fusion either. I wouldn't have bought the game if i knew they were ****ing people over like this. I beat the game in 3 days and now it's gonna collect dust.

    I assume you know this already but i just want to state it in case you don't.
    You can play your own map in the editor itself, i know, you should be able to play it normaly
    but at least you can build and play your own maps this way.

    Don't want to get in to the whole pc - console war issue,
    but when i read threads like this i am always glad i just stick to my trussted pc.

    But i full agree with you, solo maps should not be behind that payed wall!

    OK, I played around a bit more with the editor, and as Leon stated above, you can test out your own maps in the editor itself (which is a little relieving). However, I am unsure if the functionality is the same as when played in the Arcade mode itself as I am not allowed to access it. Can anyone confirm if there is a difference between testing a level in the editor and playing it through the Arcade?

    Still pissed I can't play maps made by other people. This is not how other games work.

    Testing it should be the same experience as playing it on the online Arcade, just without Progression. When you finish the objective of the map, it just gives you the option to return to editor.

    People that don't play multiplayer games, like me. Single player content is never locked behind ******ed ps plus. That has always been for multiplayer. At this rate you'll have to be always online, and pay a subscription to play anything in the next gen. I paid 400 for a console, 60 for a game, the majority of content shouldn't be locked behind a subscription. Also, check your ****ing privilege. Try working for minimum wage. Or better yet, try working at all, kid.
