I think it's great. I spent about 4 hrs on there once just talking to this guy about religion and a whole load of crazy stuff. That's what Home is about. It's not just playing mini games by yourself, it's about talking to people. The haters just don't use it wrong.
I just laughed when I saw TedtheDog acting all incognitus trying to get info out of the guy. For those who don't know, he works for SCEE and is the one that talks to us on the Official EU PS forums. :shame:
The thing is, there's only so much room for gaming news sites, and unless you can bring something new to the table there really isn't a great deal of point trying to break in.
We really don't need any more gaming news sites tbh.
I've never seen a show but I really disagree with their use of ridiculous headlines just to pull some hits. It's a really low way of attracting attention and it's definitely not convincing me to ever visit the site.
Especially now it's been put up on one of the largest games news sites in the world...
@ Scissor_run
No, I don't play GTA IV because I don't enjoy it that much. I DO play MGS4 and MGO, though. A lot. They're coming up to a year old now so Oh dear looks like I just shot your argument down.
And are you saying that games like Wii Music are better than games like MGS4 etc. because it sold more?
You know what, fair enough. If you're getting your money's worth out of your Wii then that's fine with me.
Shame it's such a gimmicky mach...
Sorry scissor_runner, but did you just say Wii owner are better than other console owners because they DON'T fall for gimmicks???
Seriously, I have nothing against the Wii (well, except for it bringing around a boom in casual-shovel-ware or as I will now call it Shovasualware, which, as a gamer, just makes me cringe a little) but the whole damn thing is a gimmick.
People buy the Wii because it's that one were you waggle the controller and Susan down the road has one ...
Tbh Shane Kim, I'd say MGS4 is underated in general. Obviously it got great review scores, but it seems most people have forgotten about it. The graphics were amazing and playing through it for the 7th time I'm still blown away by the beautiful scenery, the gorgeous resolution and the perfectly pitched atmosphere. I think people have just written it off as "That game with all the cutscenes in" and just ignored every other aspect of the game. It is a masterpiece in almost every way. ...
I think they were being pretty brave developing a GTA game for the DS (home of baby simulators and Sudoku) when they've already seen great success on PSP.
I applaud the fact that they did something different, just like GTA IV, I just don't think it payed off for them.
Reading update:
You asstard, Evan Wells!!!
I'd forgotten about MGS4's snow. Did you ever just sit in a box in the snowfield? The box slowly got covered. Well, not covered, but snow built up on it. B-E-A-utiful.
I must've played through the first demo like 20 times so this is good news.
I think there probably won't be CO-OP, at least not one that is worked right into the story, because that would mean Drake would always have a companion in the game. That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy a Co OP mode if one was put in.
Well, I don't care what this guy thinks, I really, really liked Motorstorm 2 and I wouldn't call it overhyped in the least. Underhyped if anything.
Also:
"When I hear Motorstorm, I think of a bunch of crazy stuff happening, tons of action on screen, and a lot more variety in terms of the atmosphere and environment."
More variety? What, you want a track set in space? A Mario Kart style rainbow road? That'd add more variety.
Pong alone wiped out pretty much 50% of the World's population.
I doubt you'll get an answer.
Luckily I'm an official Sony Beta Tester, so as soon as this beta comes over to EU, I'll be in!
Now I just have to pray that it actually DOES come to Europe.
I don't see why this game is getting such mediocre reviews. I really enjoy playing it alone and with my mates. It's a great party game and the challenges are truly... challenging. It's obviously not going to have a massive lifespan as it's a £8/$10 PSN game but I feel like I have definitely got my moneys worth.
The haters obviously have no friends XD
Ugh! I'm going to be sick...
SICK WITH JOY AND AMAZEMENT!!! This is very well done. WIN.
It's probably something bigger than big. It's probably something... really big.
50 of those 60 were probably given automatically due to the presence of side-boob.
You gotta love side-boob.
"are accidentally or purposely eliminated by the system"
Just made me think of Ocelot in MGS4. THE SYSTEM IS OURS!!!
