Home sucks

 

wait a few months, it will be 100% better

 

What's 100% of nothing again?

When it first "released" people said give a few weeks and I did.  I came back to it a few days ago and nothing had been fixed other than it was easier to connect. I even had to redownload all the areas again!

Call me cynical but I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark and say a few months isn't going to do a lot for it.

 

Hmm, did you play Warhammer Onine when it first hit retail?  It was laggy, buggy, horrible to run around and play in.  You had to tweak your graphics card settings outside of the game to get it too run right and look good and that wasn't even the half of the issues.

But, just after 2 month, a lot of the issues were either being looked into and being fixed or had been fixed.  It was almost a whole new experience 2 months later.

I hear it's even better now, of course, this is Mythic.

Anyways, what my point is; Sony is pulling the same approach, their listening to their user base and are working on fixes and also new ideas to throw into Home.

Programing something such as Home or an MMO, isn't easy.  Of course, most people will say "How long has it been in production for?  Come on it should be way better at this point, etc, etc.".  True, but this is something that has never been done on a CONSOLE before.

Now for those who think it's so easy, go ahead and try it your self and have Millions of people breathing down your neck for changes, upgrades, content, etc.

Edit: This wasn't targetted right at you twestern, just pointing out over all.  Also, I know I'm comparing an MMO to Home, which is different in a lot of ways.  But it's still the same kind of concept.

 

The same can be said about Eve Online. It was just bad when released but now its one of the best MMOs made.
