Is Home Really Boring?

   As a former closed beta member, I got my hands on HOME a little long before many of you even logged in the virtual community. As you can imagine I was incredibly excited. Immediately after creating my avatar and downloading all of the different places in HOME I wandered around the community. I found people in small groups using voice chat and laughing. A few days later I sent a message to my PSN friend asking him how he felt about Home. He sent me a message saying that although it was fun it could get tedious quick. I understood where he was coming from even though I didn't agree. So is Home really boring? 

  First, you have to ask yourself a question to answer the one above. What do you want to do in Home? Do you want to hang out with your friends and clan members? Or do you want to chase virtual girls (which 80% of the time are actually guys ) and  play saucer pop all day along? Fact is, if you don't use Home as Sony intended you to use it , you will find it unsatifying.

   I saw the dozens of "Home is boring" articles from a mile away. That's because I knew that many people would not understand it. I began to wonder and set aside all the biased thoughts myself. One day I was walking through Home and I heard a few people in a group cracking up at some guy's joke, something involving Eminem and Hancock, but that's not the point. As it is now, Home is good for what it is, even as a virtual community it still isn't perfect, but that's why it's in a beta.

 Bottom line: Home doesn't have to be boring. Invite some friends to your pad, try a game of bowling, make a club for your clan,etc. As you already may know Sony is adding Christmas clothes to the mall and hopefully soon more trophy rooms. There is room for improvement in Home, but try to understand the concept because it's something Sony cannot fix entirely with just another update.

I really started to get familiar with it. Home is fun even without (me)having a club or inviting my friends. Pool is the $hit and getting to meet different gaming personalities is very interesting. There are some cool people in Home. Now, either those who seem dissatisfied were like me in the beginning or they are just those types who like to try to look cool by saying that everything sucks(especially in proximity of female avatars). If Home sucks, why are you even logged into it? No one's holding you captive....Anyway, every time I look through my PSN Friends List there are more people in Home than actually playing games. So I officially eat my words: HOME IN FUN!!!!

Peace

Yup home is boring.

[kwicksandz]

[Spike47]

a PS3 and home?

[Firstkn1ghT]

It's not boring if your a 60 year old pedaphile, 12 year old pervert, or a 40 year old virgin.

[pixelsword]

...if you could afford one.

[Spike47]

know a lot about that firstknight. lol j/k

[memots]

If its so boring. Explain to me why everytime i checked it out so far it was PACKED FULL ? Might be boring for some and i get it.

But i still think it does very well for market they are aiming for.

I don't have any real gripes about Home nor can I sing any real praises about it. It is what is, make the most of what's there. I do have a piece of advice though. Guard your account from your friends. I let a friend use my account because he wanted to show me something cool. He had my avatar looking like a pervert in the theater. That sh1t will never happen again.

[Spike47]

LOL, that's funny/

[REPLOID24]

sucks. I will not be going Home anymore, i'd rather be Home-less.

There's great features within HOME. The PS3 really has taken a step forward. For me it lost it's novelty as everything does, whereas HOME lost it rapidly. It's a piece of software that only gets a look in now and again, there's rarely anybody who will spend a considerable amount of time on it without getting bored.

[goflyakite]

When I get annoyed with a game, or tired of it. I go into home and usually play pool, or bowling. Sometimes Ice breaker. It's a nice thing to have when you get bored of other games. The only thing I hate is when you go in and have to wait to play something.

No, I wouldn't choose it over other games, obliviously, but it's a nice free thing Sony gave us.

But there's still tons to be added, so it only gets better from here.

[IPlayGames]

the games i have are way better.

thats the prob i stop by from time to time but not every i turn on my ps3 i go to home

[darkequitus]

When I stoke up my PS3, I think. R2[insert any game here] or HOME. And that what it "currently" boils down to.

my opinion. home sucks. i don't find walking around spending real money for digital furniture just to set up my appartment or spending for a better one at that. the three games in the arcade get boring quick, theres not alot of free items. and the stff thats free aren't any good. for the time it take to meet people and form a party to join a game. you could have just gone straight into the game and meet people already playing.

again. my opinion. i just didn't find a reason for sony to hype this service as they did. just to give people this garbage. if this is the out come of all the delays and sony holding off on releasing it until it was perfect. then i think sony should have just scape the idea. because home has been worked on since the ps2. yet this is all they could come up with. sad. sad indeed.
