The video is totally SFW, but you might lose a few brain cells by watching it
PlayStation Home for the PS3 could be the absolute dumbest thing ever produced in the history of human civilization. (Penny-Arcade doesn’t like it either, and their voice carries the same weight as Walter Cronkite’s did during the Vietnam War.) But not only is it wretched—the Wii has avatars, the Wii is selling well, therefore we need avatars to sell well, too—it’s also offense to women! It’s a one-two punch of mediocrity!
The video embedded here, and there’s plenty more (though that one’s actually hilarious) where that came from, shows a so-called “female avatar” (which is more than likely just a dopey kid toying with others’ emotions), being surrounded and harassed by a pack of “male avatars.” It’s among the sorriest things you’ll find online today.
My only hope, for Sony’s sake, is that PlayStation Home didn’t cost too much money to develop, because, frankly, it’s rubbish.
lol
“I can just ignore those girls and walk around,
BUT
I’M NOT GAY
so let’s just go back here and let me get behind this one.”
funny…
So, why not a male avatar. I trust you dear.
I disagree, Sir.
PS @ home might not be the ground breaking communication plattform sony’s press releases might have you believe. But I can see how, like any plattform (second-life, Habbro…) it will grow into a vibrant, active community. Like alot of other plattforms it will also require sony to take the right decisions when comes to controlling content and actions of the community.
@ home is complete waste of time. I installed it the other night and within an hour deleted it. I felt so much dumber for having tried it. Why can’t sony just invest R&D on things we want like, better video streaming.
