| Showertea said: Damn it! Why is sony ruining gaming with all this non-gaming bull. I mean, first Home, then Little Big Planet, then Afrika. Of course, it all started with Lair, which can't be counted as a playable game (Zing!) Now, I really don't get Home. Part of me thinks it's just like second life only instead of being able to basically do whatever you want with appearance/objects/physics/whatever you get to be cursed at by XBox-live-style idiots. Another part of me looks at it and thinks "Man, sony really has no idea how to rip off the Wii, do they?" And a third part of me just thinks "Yeah right. That's gonna come out sometime around the PS4." I think Sony's main problem is that they have good ideas but they spend too long implementing them. Home would be an amazing concept if it was launched last christmas, but now with stuff like Google Lively in beta and the 360s Avatars (which are gonna be released well before Home, despite home being announced a year earlier), they really don't have the Wow factor. Same with Little Big Planet. I mean, allowing the characters to affect the game world however they want and make things however they want is awesome, but it's releasing early-mid '09, and is basically like a more intense platformer version of the Forge mode on Halo 3. I'm not trying to troll, I just don't see this 'game' as the greatest thing ever to happen. |
1) Ruining gaming by introducing new gaming elements?! people enjoy different games for different reasons. Part of the reason why Fable was so hugely popular was due to its large world and being able to communicate with various characters and have your own path etc. Games like GTA are praised for these very same reasons- This is what home is about. a huge open world with huge possibilities. the difference being the people you will interact with won't be A.I controlled but will be other gamers. This is going to change gaming in ways that I can't wait to see. It will be like Yakuza, GTA and other similar games with real life people mingling, gaming and communicating. You clearly lack imagination if you fail to see how much this has to offer.
PSN titles are some of the highest rated titles...do you know why?out of the box thinking and gaming. Afrika is just one of these games. Then you get FLWOER and PixelJunk Eden and the new gardening game. It's variety and innovative gaming. A game company should be praised for this not put down.
2) "Man, sony really has no idea how to rip off the Wii, do they?" <--- What does this have to do with anything ??? troll alert!
3) you may have tried not to troll but.... EPIC FAIL!
