That's hilarious. Sounds like 'HELL' is a censored word: HELL-O |

"Hell"o, did you know bastard is not censored though?:D Anyways, yeah I must be the only one that gets servers where a bunch of horny dudes run up to any girl and just start dancing on them. |

Well, I think that at least PS3 and XBox 360 are trying to make new console generations obsolete. Updates through the internet, graphics surpassing the average television- it's pretty plausible that PS3 and XBox 360 could be the end of the console generations. |

Yep. Because the big Nin will be buying everybody with their Wii money. |

That is halarious to be quite honest. I was about to report the next person who did that... They should definately work on the censoring program then. |

Well if you already have a ps3, why isn't it already hooked up? Aside from that, just how hard is it to download a 13MB client? Assuming you have broadband connection (its kinda required to get on anything online) download shouldn't be to hard... And fallout 3 is boring after one play through... I'm hoping the mod scene could bring it back to the days when modding was awesome (morrowind). But you have it on the 360, so your SOL. ;) So, if you already have a ps3, WTF do you need to create a thread about 'buying a ps3' for 'home' (which isn't even a game), when you already own one? Instead of, posting a thread about 'should I have hooked up my ps3?'. And the answer then would have been. Oh, and if you do have a ps3 (as your reply did make it sound as if you had one, but not quite 100%), buy Disgaea 3. I gaurntee you, that you'll get far more hours on the ps3 version of that, then you'll get on the console version of fallout 3. ;) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2381 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 | Perhaps not surprisingly Eurogamer have given it a scathing review. Most of the criticisms seem to be directed at promised content which hasn't yet materialised. Clearly they missed the word 'beta'. |

Huh. From comments that Indigo Dingo and others have made, I was lead to believe that the PSN users were more mature than Xbox Live users. This means *gasp* PSN is full of immature idiots too! Who knew? Also, I thought betas were for testing purposes, not something you released to the masses. This reeks of an attempt to get the product out the door in time to generate PS3 buzz for Christmas without getting criticized for releasing an unfinished product. |

Hey, don't make one exception the rule :P And everyone was bitching about how Sony kept on delaying and delaying HOME, so why not just give them their bottle. Or better yet, give them the milk on the floor and promise them the bottle later? That analogy do anything for ya? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1402 Joined: 17 Nov 2008  | They tried too hard to be realistic, walking is tedious, waiting to play games for reality and stupid to be implemented in a game. I don't like home personally and won't waste the storage space, time to download (etc) on it. It was a good try, but it just doesn't work for me. Then again maybe this is because I'm a bit jaded and don't care to socialize with people I've never met in a game world. If I want to play with random people I'll do it in a real game rather than faking reality. |

I prefer "give them square-shaped excrement when they've been begging for brownies" but yeah, that works too. Actually it's more like promising them milk, delaying the milk, then giving them a hamburger long after the milk has gone bad. |

Immature dolts are present wherever social communities are to be found. It's part and parcel of the entire social experience. In real life we have policemen who ensure some semblance of social order. Online, it's mods. They might've released Home as a decoy to distract the public from their dismal November NPD sales (19% drop compared to last year). |

This needs to happen. Games, especially ports of PS3 games, will become too big for DVDs. Wasn't it previously suggested that this generation would make it so all games were released multi-format? So people will choose their console on brand, interface preference and price. Noted earlier, Playstation3 gave you more for less. We know Microsoft make you pay for everything. I'm going to check out Home today, there must be something about it I like it. We'll see.
This thread has become yet another console war, which I think was the OP's intention. |

Hey, if you have the patience, HOME can be an enjoyable experience. But you probably have to be in the right mindset to enjoy it I guess. But yet again I agree on the crashes/load times. I don't care if it's a beta of the next messiah and it has to load all of his holiness, those loading times should not be that drastic. But after you're done downloading most of the things, the load times shouldn't be to much of a problem. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 560 Joined: 2 Feb 2008  | Fantards aside, I jumped onto Home when it was first released as an invite only test. My thoughts? It's not for me. You start in a little house with one room, which you can furnish but can't seem to bring other people into. You start with very few options, and probably have to purchase (with real money) additional furniture when the game is fully released. Once you head outside, then the real 'fun' begins. All you see is a heap of generic avatars walking around being dicks. People just running around, testing out all the moves and poses the avatar can do, and s l o w l y typing out nonsense. Mainly because unless you have a bluetooth keyboard, you need to use the PS3 controller to type out you sentences, so there's a lot of the usual shortcuts in my poor King's English. Likely anyone with the presence of mind to purchase a bluetooth keyboard would not be in Home in the first place. You can also use a headset, which generally means that every now and then the serene noises you hear are interrupted by random "HAY Y NAMES CHRIS U WANT TO CHAT?????" and actually sounds like he's typing it that way. Or just random noises and screams. Wacky! You can wander around a few other areas, like the 'mall' which is where you can shop for shit for your apartment (all unavailable when I was there); the cinema, where you can check out movie trailers (mostly not working); and I seem to recall a bowling alley that I didn't bother to check out. I spent the hour I was there constantly being approached by people (I randomly picked a girl avatar) who kept asking me "ASL??" and "heey secxy" and "hay u r chat??" and such tripe. After I'd fully explored the place, played a game of chess with someone who obviously didn't even know what chess was and went back to the apartment to see if you could do anything remotely interesting there, I left and likely won't go back. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2320 Joined: 10 Oct 2008 | I've played home for a bit and the only major problem ive had was actually getting on to HOME. I love the message that tells me that the session im trying to log on to doesn't exist. It makes me feel like im John Nash trying to go on imaginary missions for the government. however, i have had no actual downloading problems once in game. Whenever it asks me if i would like to go to a new area i just click download in background and go do something else on home, like play chess. Speaking of which, I love the chess set up. I have made a multitude of friends just by playing chess with them. I tried bowling...but the lanes were full, bah. my only real quam with HOME is the lack of customization and i would like something like a trophy case. I'm almost lvl 6 and while that isnt to impressive to some, im feeling pretty good about it and would like to flaunt it. other than that home is ok for a social network thing, it just needs more options. I suppose thats why they call it a beta though. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2381 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 | I think a lot of people have been too quick to judge the entire future potential of Home on the basis of an incomplete beta. What we've seen of the application so far is literally the bare bones. Do they not realise there will eventually be hundreds of different areas, thousands of customisation options and arguably infinite potential? I also find it amusing that so many people have written off micro-transactions before they've even happened. I won't buy a new hat therefore it follows that no-one else will. Sony have obviously looked at the extraordinary popularity (and profitability) of DLC and decided they want in on it. |

Yes they want in on what Second Life has minus people actually making shit and there being any semblance of an economy, they just wanted a tarted up version of IM'ing that, shock and awe, finally reveals that PS3 online users can be stupid as well. And "eventually" is like saying "oh just wait until next year, but for now, enjoy this fascimile of something enjoyable, beep boop beep." If you're going to do a beta, at least make it look like it could be promising. But let's be honest, there was nothing promising about Home in the first place. And as to the DLC thing, I doubt the amount of MS points I used on Arcade titles and game additions is the same as the amount i spent on themes and gamerpics, in fact I'm willing to say that I spent 10 times as much on stuff that actually matters (Arcade, game add-ons) than stuff that doesn't (themes, gamerpics). Which category do you think crap for Home falls into? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2381 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 |
1. Obviously not true. It's promise was to unite the PS3 community and I've seen nothing to convince me that they can't achieve this goal. |

Stop trolling every damn Sony related thread, any time I see you post in a Sony related thread it's always something resembeling "they suck!" People where whining and bitching about HOME not being released yet/being delayed over and over again, so what the hell were they supposed to do? Make them wait even longer? Atleast give them something to chew on while they work on it. HOME is extremely promising just like any game with an internet connection nowadays, and I don't see how you can deny that. Think of HOME as an MMO, like Second Life (hell, who are we kidding, it is SL anyway. But nothing wrong with that, right?) in that since it's just starting, things will be added and fixed as it goes along. Some people like those kinds of stuff. Personally, I won't even think about buying any extra content for HOME until it gets more content and is supported more, but it's only just been released like, what, 3 days ago? 4 days ago? Who knew that a barely week old application could be void of some content, eh? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2381 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 | Although I hate to say it, I would pay unreasonable sums of money to be able to dress up as Citan from Xenogears. Don't see the point in paying £0.80 for a cowboy hat or "generic grey sweater" though. I'm willing to pay for costumes so long as they're interesting. But I'm sure things will improve on the customisation front. It'd be awesome to see game-related clothing & accessories because it'd be a lot easier to pinpoint people with similar tastes. I guess that's the purpose of the planned game-themed areas. |

look, im no fanboy, i'll admit the ps3 has faults, but in my opinion it has less than the 360. Playstation home is fun as long as your freinds are online. Its crap at 4 AM with no one on:P |
Press Junketeer Posts: 372 Joined: 6 Nov 2006 | I just hope, that in the near future, most of those 'bland' options will be 'free', so people can actually 'dooo' something in there home, or customize there avatars more. Otherwise paying for bland stuff, makes even less sense! |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 425 Joined: 14 Sep 2008 | It's ok, better than Wii's and Xbox's version. But it needs alot more content. Like: - Trenchcoats ...then home would be ace! Edit: Oh and some nice shades too. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1566 Joined: 8 Oct 2008   |
You are a fan boy. Most people don't want to blow so much money for "a top of the range product" and would rather get one that does what they want for less. The 360 fulfills this role and for those who want more, there is the option to buy add ons. The PS3 has better technology but it is forced on the consumer, the PS3 would be much cheaper if it used DVD's instead of Bluray but Sony does not give anyone the choice. While you may be happy with your money spent on the machine other people are not and find the machine too expensive for the unwanted utility it provides. That does not even touch on the PS3 being more difficult to develop for meaning a smaller games library undermining what gamers want. This would make the PS3 optimum for those who want a bluray player rather than games for reduced cost but now other BluRay players are cheaper voiding that use. |
