Not a joke post, it's a true story yall.

I downloaded this out of curiosity and just thought that it's so amazingly shite. If the PS3 had as good a friends system as the 360 you might be able to jump into more games with friends but their answer to this seems to be a second life clone. They need to get their shit together and make the XMB an easier to use, less laggy interface.

The feeling of pointlessness you get from "playing" this is incredible.

OK, unless you know who you're playing with, Home is currently pretty useless. I mean, I went in with a friend to test it out and make a clubhouse etc. I walked by some guys dancing around a bubble machine and they called me a fag on their mic. Then in the movie theatre, I tried watching a movie from a seat, only to have like three people just stand in front of me so I couldn't see. It's not as if there's lag, they KNOW they're doing it. It's just a giant sausage-fest and jerk-fest mixed in one. Sure there's bowling and shit, but you can't practice on your own unless you have a clubhouse fit with the games. So you have to wait around until the lane / table / arcade is available.
And yeah, it was KIND OF cool to post shit on the club bulletin, and join Warhawk with my buddy... but are we going to wait through the painful load times of Home just to check that shit, when we have a messaging system we can access while playing an actual game? No way in hell. Besides which, I know who plays what. They can see what I'm playing etc. And the majority of online games have an invite feature... so there's really no reason to play Home, unless you're heavily into online avatar chatting.
