I wonder how that'll pan out, as far as prep work goes. I imagine the common antisocial SFan will be looking in the mirror in his decked out Home™ bathroom. He'll look on as his avatar is checking itself in the reflection of his newly purchased Warhawk™ mirror and he'll say to himself "So this is how it feels to be out on a Friday night". And then he'll meet up with Kittonwy and Metalmurphy for some good ol' fashion Uncharted™ bowlin'.

I don't understand what they have been doing, or what the beta players have been playing, for the last year. After all that effort the thing has like 5 areas - apartment, plaza, mall, bowling, and some other shit. A handful of accessories with zero customization. Are they rolling out a ton of new shit today?

I really don't understand Home.

And I REALLY don't understand the people out there (mostly on GAF, not here) that just can't wait to spend money on their virtual homes or pseudo-Japanese apartments.

People are fucking weird.

the one person per arcade machine thing is the most distinguished mentally-challenged thing ever

I signed back on hoping to try the Yuusha game in the Japanese arcade (I have both PSP games imported and really like them), but before they would crash home.  I go on how and there are only two machines with two assholes taking them up.  I can't even curse them off since I don't know japanese.

That's why you'll need to pony up the bucks and buy your own personal arcade machines for your apartment.  Let the riffraff wait in line :tophat

The yuusha game confuses me because it's all japanese, but it seems like a traditional rpg battle type game or something.  It seems like it would be awesome at least if I could understand it.  Better than every other shitty arcade game they have there.

Is there even any way to hook up with your friends without having a club house? It's not like you're going to be in the same iteration of the Plaza or whatever with all of them.

If they wanna charge for some 'premium' club or something that's one thing, but why should I have to pay for the only way to facilitate actual game launching?

first i made some blue haired animu abortion then i went for the wheres waldo stripped shirt look with a skirt and no shoes

anyway I was wandering around that mall and saw this group of nerds sitting in a circle talking about nothing so i just like went up and started doing some wicked dance moves until they got really pissed off, far too easy to grief in this

You weren't in the older beta, were you? for as shitty as this still is, it's actually a big improvement over the previous version.  Old version didn't even have in-game XMB or background downloading.

depends on if they actually implement functionality at one point or not.  As of right now there is no way to start a game, get others to join, and play despite that being one of the big features promised.  You can't even have you're own TV where you can stream video content or pictures for others to see.  Two of the 'big' features that Home was supposed to have are completely absent, and this is a case where they hide behind calling it a Beta so they aren't rushed.

The virtual PSP was worse because it used the XMB menu and it didn't really fit what functions you needed.

Even when they start adding more locations like pointless game themed areas (the uncharted bar is fucking hilariously bad that I almost feel sorry for the people that are into this kind of crap) it's still going to be awful unless you and your friends go out and buy keyboards because communicating with the controller sucks balls.  I ran into Eel O'Brian this morning before I went to work and then quickly realized how impossibly lame it'll be to have any sort of conversation going using the dual shock.  I just won't even do it.   I guess I could use my bluetooth headset but for whatever reason anytime someone uses a headset on the PS3 the sound quality is all over the fucking map to the point that it's completely distracting.  I think the best bet would be to meet on XBL and then move into Home while still using the 360 chat.  Infact I've already done that a few times myself.

Right now, all I want from Home is the ablity to create a fucking hideous beast of an avatar and then go grief some people and as it stands right now it's pretty limiting in both areas.

There is already a growing school of Home apologetics, fostered by the same Order of Perpetual Masochists who lauded the rumble-free Sixaxis at launch and suggested, hilariously, that Lair and Heavenly Sword were videogames. They're under the impression that because something is free, this places it on some golden dais beyond censure. It's no virtue to give away something that no-one in their right mind would buy. They have no idea what this world is for, and that ambiguity infuses every simulated millimeter of it.

Home review in short:

Good: It's decent to get together and meet people who actually own a PS3 to play Resistance

Bad: No customization options, hardly any free default shit, fucking buggy ass servers, lifeless looking characters, queues for fucking BOWLING for christsakes, hardly ANYTHING to do.

I estimate that 95% of the development team were trying to suck their own dicks while the other 5% were actually doing something about it. As a PS3 supporter and a self professed one at that, this is pretty pathetic. I only had fun whenever I was fucking around with friends. After that, it was pretty boring.

Good job Sony, you shot yourself in the foot.

That's because Qore is done by SCEA marketing. Home was a SCEE project completely.

also, the sfag argument regarding "free" online and PSN vs XBLA in general has actually been damaged by this.

Nothing is free.  Home has made it clear that Sony has been shoveling money into a project that delivers none of what they promised and fails to provide even some of the most basic online social features of XBL Gold.  If I were a Sony shareholder I would be furious right now.  Home represents almost four years and likely millions of dollars.  Yes, development of Home began in early 2005.  Four years later we have what was released yesterday.  If I worked for Xbox marketing, I would recommend all gamers spend three hours in Home.  One hour was enough to make me realize how simple, elegant, and efficient NXE is.  Home shows how poorly Sony is using what little money they are making off the PS3.

I so want Playstation 3 to succeed.  I was so excited about Home when it was announced, but I realize now Home is just another example of Sony missing the point and missing an opportunity to excel.

Until Sony gets their ducks in a row, I'll enjoy my PS3 for what it's best for... playing Persona 4 and Band of Brothers on blu-ray.

Home.

I like that the last line at the end of this says "We really got to pay for this?"  

Seems so boring.  I don't think I'm going to bother downloading it, not even for the lulz.

Having neat little arcade machines are the only redeeming feature of HOME, but Namco/Sony had to screw the pooch by having you launch an entirely different application whenever you want to use them.

IMO it's not easy enough, and that's the problem.  A keyboard would solve alot of issues but I'm not about to go out and buy one for fucking Home.

I went Home with a girlfriend of mine. We just wanted to check out the places together.

They were half raping her. I wish there was a "punch in face"  command in the game.

Guys are such assholes.

Your girlfriend has a PS3? oh dear

No, a girlfriend.

She bought it for Blu Ray. So I recommended her to install Home for fun.

Well... it was fun, until some guys started to act like distinguished mentally-challenged fellows around her. We went to the bowling area and sat on one of the couches. Suddenly a guy runs towards her and starts dancing.
She could get up but could not get away because the dude blocked her.

What an asshole. I hope Sony kinda fixes this.

So let me get this straight. You bunch of wankers go into Home with the expressed intent of griefing and generally acting like jackasses, and then you actually have the audacity to bitch about the experience? Not only does it seem to have delivered precisely what you were hoping it would, but you're on a fundamental level the "problem." Sounds like a killer app, huh?

What anger, by the way? I'm just saying, judging by intent and impressions, Home seems like one hell of a killer app among xbobs.

Kind of

If we are factoring free -

Second Life is more fun to grief in

Runescape is more fun to grief in

Habbo Hotel is more fun to grief in

But I guess those killer apps do not stack up to the likes of Home

It'll only be considered a killer app if I can effectively grief colossal sfag douchebags such as yourself.

Wow.  Home leaves a great first impression:

- I have a nice view in my home space, a view that is completely meaningless since it's not one open, consistent world.  And where is my giant trophy room that was promised long ago?  This was the only moderately cool feature they've ever shown.
- I have to load up the Central Plaza?!?  WTF?!?  Why isn't this shit automatically streaming during the tutorial?!?

5 minutes later thanks to the shitty PS3 wireless ethernet adaptor...

- Why are all avatars so ugly?  What in the hell is everyone doing?  This hub is useless.
- Let me dance

5 minutes later...

- Okay, that was fun exactly once.  Let me go bowling.  Oh fuck, I have to download the bowling alley.

5 minutes later...

- I can't bowl, shoot pool, or play anything but Echochrome since everything is full.  What a waste of time.  Let me look at the mall, which of course needs to be downloaded.

5 minutes later...

- Wow.  This mall is empty.  Why can't I see the prices until I click on a product and why can't I see the categories?  $5 for a house?  What the fuck?!?  Let me check out the theater

5 minutes later...

- Lame. Let me check out the FC2 and Uncharted game spaces.

10 minutes later...

- Pretty, but lame.  Why the hell am I fucking around with this when I can be playing Motorstorm 2?!?

That was my first hour with Home.  I got about 5 minutes of enjoyment out of dancing inside other people's avatars, but that's it.  What a fucking waste of time and resources that could be better used in a variety of ways:
- Improving the integration of everything into XMB ala NXE
- Getting rid of download installations
- Improving game update installation times
- Improving system update installation times
- Better integrating the store
- Better integrating trophies

They took away voice chat, but they gave us beards.

I just installed the update to see if I could finally make a bearded bearish avatar that somewhat resembles me.  After downloading and installing the update, you have to re download the areas you already downloaded before.  So after a long wait to download the Central Plaza I'm finally in Home again.  I immediately go to the wardrobe to create my new woofy self.  The new beard selection consists of one beard.  And it's a fine beard if you are Santa Clause or a Civil War general, but for anyone else it's totally not appropriate.  There are now two goatees, but both are chin only and cannot be paired with any of the mustaches.  but there are TWO choices for sideburns now, so Fruit Brute should be happy.

But why am I wasting my time with Home anyway?  I'm only 38 hours into Persona 4... long way to go.

Deleted Home from the PlayStation Network menu.  It was around 3080 MB.
Deleted Home files from Game Data Utility menu.  15 KB.
Deleted Home Settings File from Saved Data Utility.  87 KB.
