DISQUS

Yadah - Donald H · 1 year ago

I have not played it yet myself but I think a lot of times these ideas get caught up in the marketing and money of it all and they loose sight of the original vision. Home just ended being a competitor software against live. Even though live does have this feature set... no one is really asking for it.

It's the way that things get caught up that is surprising to me. Maybe my inexperience is showing... but it feels like they get 50-75% percent into the project and stop asking that key question - "does this suck?"

Live at least has SOME features that people want - I like the capabilities of the online store, and the friend features are good. But Sony went ahead and did this without even getting the basics of online play down - which I think is inexcusable, given that Microsoft launched with it done right before the PS3 shipped!

Finally got PS Home to run tonight after about 10-15 retrys. I cannot believe how misguided this product is. Everything from the initial concept to the execution. The art is an abysmal conglomeration of unimaginative, uncanny valley "more of the same". I was trying to find some redeeming qualities, but we kept having problems with stability. There were so many crashes and error messages, we did not even make it to the infamous two bowling alleys.

I haven't had any stability problems. But other than that... yeah... not a good product.

That is pretty scary looking, he looks blank and angry.

I spent about 15 minutes on Google Image Search trying to find an actual serial killer/ax murderer that looked as scary or scarier than this guy, and I couldn't.
