Tell ME

It's trash and not the slightest bit fun. But that's just what I think.

Something to do when I'm bored and I don't feel like firing up any games. I can't see myself being too into it though.

"If you think Home for the ps3 has real potential to do a lot of good to the ps3

i think home is tottaly awsome. within minutes i was talkin 2 ppl and having a laugh with em evan thoe i have never met them b4. 

Pretty much nothing in Home now interests me, but sure, I'll agree there's plenty of potential there.

Theres a fuck load of potential in there - i cant help but get the feeling that somwhere along the development line they had to pull the plug and start from scratch - theres nothing in there that screams I TOOK YEARS TO DEVELOP!!!!

Home = Snore
Sony has its work cut out.......again
honestly they should have spent there money and time  adding new avatars and advertising more games

Hopefully once the beta is over we will have more useful systems implemented which make playing games over PSN a lot easier.

Someone hasn't touched it methinks.

Honestly I don't get the negativity I really don't. I was playing Resistance 2 last night but was a bit too tired to give Superhuman mode the concentration it required... I quit out loaded up Home and was joined by two of my PSN friends. We had a chat and a game of pool for half and hour and it was fun.

That is what Home's all about.

If you can't see the potential you're crazy. I do agree it should have launched with more but I mean, really, can't see the potential? Really?"

You're a joke if you can't realize, for one minute, that people tried something and didn't like it. I tried it, and I got bored of it. There is no potential.

The should have used all that time and money to make a good MMORPG, instead they made a virtual mall.... epic phailure

I can't agree with there being no potential, when there are thousands of people playing and socialising, clubs, the future ability to stream video from your ps3 to your tvs in your rooms, game developers themselves being able to add to the Home world, game launching, etc..

To me Home feels like a 3d version of xbox live socialising, Sony just needs to make Home synchronize well with the PS3s normal usage so that Home and the XMB don't feel seperated... I believe there is lots and lots of potential... Sony just need to play their cards right.

People say that right now there isn't a lot of content to show for all of the years they have been working on it and thats true but I don't think people understand that the underlying system which runs this must of taken a lot of thought and time to develop, remember they are not just creating a game and leaving it at that, they are working on a system which needs to be flexible and able to expand to do anything they need, that is an incredibly complex thing to program.

Plus this is still a beta, the system needs to be tested and I doubt they needed to include everything they have created so far for Home in the beta to stress test the servers...

Thats just my thoughts."

Its alright. I'm sure Sony could do a lot of stuff with it, and they probably will. But until then, I don't reall like it too much.

I'm still not sure if it's just a lame second life thing or if can turn out to be something great. For now I'll refrain myself from making any judgements.  What I do know is that I couldn't find anything in there that attracted me, but I'm sure other people will.

Maybe when I have a headset or a USB keyboard I'll be able to enjoy it more. It's impossible to comunicate with just the controller.

It has potential for sure but until it actually has some connection to the games we play I don't see how it really is of any benefit to the PS3. Game launching should have been the main feature of HOME and hopefully one day it will be. You'd think if they were going to release it at this time of year game launching and game spaces for LBP and R2 would have been a priority.

We'll talk in a year and I'll happily allow you to say the words "told you so" if I'm wrong."

SOE already has two MMORPGs in development coming to PS3, so I'm not sure another one is the solution. Also, have they revealed the details of Home's development? Somehow I doubt it'd be enough for a good MMORPG. It still has room to grow, so hopefully they'll do something interesting with it."

It's pretty worthless.

Home is the worst thing ever. It is not fun in any way shape of form. Never using it again.

I've never had problems getting into the servers, but so far, the whole thing is complete dogshit.

Maybe Sony can find some way to use it for something else than to hock hats and couches for a buck or make you watch Twilight trailers.
I mean, something as simple as trophies unlocking exclusive clothing/furniture/art would give me some incentive to trick out my character/apartment and maybe turn the tide for people's interest in trophies versus achievements. Hell, they should just outright steal alottamechanics/services from Animal Crossing o make it interesting. The service plays like shit when it comes to loading environments/other users. I have fat pipes, this shit shouldn't be this slow.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this not called a beta in Japan and is considered launched software there?

Is there potential? Yes, but Sony's penchant for not understanding the importance and awesomeness in an online service makes me terribly pessimistic.

I hopped on, ran around for a bit, spammed stuff like "home sucks" then left. I couldn't get back into my own house too, which is really really sad.

Whilst listening to the bombcast i came up with an idea (dont know if anyone else has already thought of this or even if its possible but) :  They should host tournaments in games that can be watched on the cinema screens in home by a general audience.  Abit like Enemy Territory Tv where you can spectate on pro matches.

I dont know how feasible it would be to stream live footage to HOME, but i could imagine making regular trips to it if i had the chance to watch tournaments.

I think HOME is so awesome.  I find myself going into HOME more often than I play my games now.  I don't know why.  I go to the bowling alley and every game I bowl I always meet someone new and interesting.  It's great.  Now I just can't wait for sony to add more stuff.

Maybe that's why you couldn't get back into your house.  And being a Moderator why would you go around saying stuff like that anyway?"

 I don't know why.

erm...seriously, you can do that whole bowling alley thing in real life, and the person dressed as a girl at the real bowling alley will usually be a girl....unlike HOME"

only thing i do on it is play bowling.

Never played it so I'm not gonna try to review it but what I will say is that it seems that many people complaining have one main problem: not much to do. That can certainly be fixed, Sony just better get around to showing people what Home's potential is before the market loses interest.

I think it's boring and stupid.

I personally think home is great.  Before Home the ONLY way you could meet other gamers online was by playing a online game, well the problem with that is during online matches people are conentrating and arent in the mood to socialize, i like how Home is dedicated for something like that.. ive met TONS of people and added them on my friends list, my only problem is my friends list will get full pretty soon because i do meet a lot of cool people on there.

All they  need  is the ablity to buy pool tables, TVs and picture frames and have universal game launching for all online games. I cant wait until E3 rolls around, i bet anything you will be able to go in the theatre and watch sony's press conference live, that would be sick!

There is definitely lots of potential. I just don't find it all that fun right now.

I spent a few minutes wandering around the plaza and observing packs of dude avatars asking the small handful of girl avatars the same question over and over "r u a girl?" and "do u want to talk in my apt?".

Second Life is scary enough. I don't need anything resembling it mixed in with my consoles.
