Home -- is THIS living?

[Parasitic]

They keep adding more game spaces but it's not changing anything. It doesn't change the fact that the whole concept of Home is flawed - the it's designed, it's no surprise that it attracts pervs, the bored, and all the bad other creatures hiding in the internet. A few days ago, I decided to check it out for the first time in ages - it didn't take long to spot someone in the RE5 space chasing some slutty-lookin avatar (probably a guy) while spamming "Hello". And of course, Home wouldn't feel the same if there wasn't a chic avatar dancing in the middle of 5 desperate kids.

Sony could've made a simple but in-depth 2d chat that'd probably get more use than Home, assuming it doesn't come with all the lame loads. What they should've done is NOT use realistic-looking avatars, but go with somethin more cartoony instead. I bet somethin as simple as that would cut down all the e-flirting abit and make the place look abit less sad. Still though, the whole idea of being able to roam around as an avatar in the first place is a bad one. Again, some kind of 2d chat thing with neat features like game launching/music sharing/news/ads/etcetc would've been much better.

The thing I hate most about Home is it feels like more like a free game, not a PSN feature. It starts up like a game except it has way more loading times.

The worst thing about Home is it's not even getting the attention of hardcore or casual gamers. I'm dissapointed that Sony hasn't scrapped the idea and just moved onto somethin else. Then again, they say it's been in the making for about 2 years - that's alot of time gone down the drain considering that Home's been gettin lots of hate.

XBL is simple but it works. It has all the features that the PSN needs so much. Home does have alot of good features, but the problem there is.......how is any of that useful to my friends and I when we actually feel like playing a game? There's a reason why I bought a PS3, and it doesn't involve spending time in a 3D chat room.
