Cool i never cared much about home.. until yesterday when i became addicted to hold'em poker

UltimateIdiot9116204d ago

Homes is awesome. It makes a good time waster. Every time I get bored or in a mood for something on the casual side, I just go on and play some casual game whether it's pool or whatever.

Have you tried that Siren game, it's pretty hard.

InfectedDK6204d ago

That is a massive change.. But expected at some time..
Great job! - Now give us videos, discolights 'n' music in our spaces, (I know it isn't easy) ;)

Bob Dole6204d ago

Have they made it so we can put our pictures on the wall yet?? Bob Dole hasn't been to home in a while because he's sick of downloading updates for something he rarely uses... Bob Dole's internet is slooooooooow as hell. :(

Signing into the mall? I can go everywhere else, but as soon as I try to log into the mall, my PS3 freezes and I have to flip the power switch to reset it...am I the only unfortunate soul experiencing this?

Still no public voice chat. Just lame one person at a time phone a friend.

RememberThe3576204d ago (Edited 6204d ago )

I think people got tired of other people blasting music through their headsets. I didn't have a problem because of the proximity chat. Kind of like me playing Killzone 2; you just hear me run by blasting 2pac.

But, oh well, I'm not in Home much anyway now days.

-EvoAnubis-6204d ago

How did everyone believe this?

Voice chat got removed because of bandwidth issues, not people too stupid to use the mute function. When the bandwidth issues are resolved, public voice chat will return.

ThatArtGuy6204d ago

I'm glad they took out public voice chat. It was so annoying to have people intentionally griefing with it.

UnwanteDreamz6204d ago (Edited 6204d ago )

Sure its easy to use the mute function but you still got to hear something obscene before you use it. I personally don't go around just muting people before they talk so that I dont hear anything distasteful. I got to hear tons of crap I didn't want to in the closed beta.

I heard a guy running around calling black avatars the N word.

I heard some punk playing Johnny Rebel songs for everyone to hear (Johnny Rebel is hardcore racist folk music).

I heard a couple pretending or maybe not to have sex over open mics.

I heard some immature guys say some aweful crap to women.

I still liked the voice chat but IMO it makes home a very Adult place. I reported the bad behavior but I don't think kids should hear some of the stuff I heard. We used to talk about how bad it was going to be when it opened and then they took away the public voice chat. I understand it was bandwidth but I really think they avoided a disaster. It will be a trainwreck.

If you don't believe me wait till it comes back and then get back to me.

Chubear6204d ago

or you can hang out with your friends in your apartment or theirs and you have open chat with more than one person over the HOME Phone.

-EvoAnubis-6204d ago

If a person didn't want to hear anyone in Home, then they could simply go into their options and turn the feature off.

There's things that kids shouldn't hear in practically any game that supports voice chat; that's a silly argument.

UnwanteDreamz6201d ago

Exactly what is it I am arguing? With mics on, Home is very adult. Prove me wrong....

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7712d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde19d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy19d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12519d ago (Edited 19d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7720d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga20d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199220d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga19d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman19d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger19d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box20d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion19d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7220d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7520d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit20d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14920d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7720d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
