Forums - Sony - Out of curiousity - How often do you go Home?

Parasitic on 28 January 2009

Home has lots of nice chat features.

Too bad they're all useless outside of Home......my friends and I are still reduced to using the phone when CoD5's shitty invite system isn't working.....and that happens much too often =(

Update the XMB please.....I'll take 360's NXE over this crap anyday.

They probably did it to make it easier for demented boys to pretend to be girls, I mean they can't get caught out if they can't chat can they? With all these 'women' strolling about home thats bound to make the boys chase the 'women' and thus actually use Home, right?

 

I find Home to be terrible but actually, my character is a female.  I certainly don't go on Home to do anything silly though (I have enough trouble just trying not to get stuck).

I've been there a few times

Mostly to check it out, but its infuriating. The fact that they fucked up something as simple as chess blows my mind.

Plus the updates require you to redownload the areas, which is a pain in the ass.

 

how did they mess up chess?

It's still in Beta people! Wait til it comes out proper and I'm sure lots of different gaming companies will all be competing to have the coolest space.

Also for those people who can't find the red bull space, press start and it's under my locations or something similar. Go stand near the three planes and Red Bull Race should pop up on your screen. They should fix it cause at the mo if someone is standing infront of your their name comes up instead : /

 

 GMail is still in beta too, yet it is still perfectly functional. Sony have said that they like the Google model with GMail because it means it is an evolving product. This means that Home is what it is, it may improve, but it is released to the general public so the "it's only a beta" excuse means jack shit.

I'm sure that many devs havn't bothered to make any spaces for Home Because it's still in Beta, they're probably waiting for it to be finished, so what's wrong with saying it's clearly low in content because it's not officially released yet? I'm not using "beta" as an "excuse" for Home's "failings" because it's failure is your opinion and that opinion clearly differs from mine and several other users here that log onto home quite regurly. I find your tone and use of language quite insulting and offensive.

Would you like a tissue for those tears?

Sounds like you've explained a bit of a catch 22 situation for me. Home remains a beta while they build the rest of the content, but you think much of the content is waiting for them to finish it, which it can't do while the content isn't there.

Home is going to remain in open beta for much of it's life if you go buy the Sony Exec's words. Just like GMail has been in open beta for YEARS!!!

I deleted it when I needed to backup my PS3. Won't be redownloading it soon, although that EA room looked intriguing. I'll see how that plays out first.
