it is a nice game.
but there’s too little content, stressed over a too long period of play-time. sadly.

I like this game as well. I go there each day at some point and do my duties so I can advance slowly but surely with it. I purchased a few warbucks to add roads and a few buildings to my encampment, but for the most part it is an easy to play pastime and the game is fun to master. It does get harder as you go up in levels too.

Surprisingly to me, I love playing FUBAR as well. For all the reasons you mentioned in the article. A few days ago, I was finally treated to the “walk around the base” glitch. What simple pleasures!

It’s ironic that developers keep investing so much time, money and risk into increasingly more complex games for Home. Inevitably, they’re ridden with bugs, trashed for their cost and pale in comparison to the disc-based games they try to emulate. Home may just be better suited to Facebook-style mini-games like FUBAR.

And, yes, the personal space is sadly lacking in value. I was very disappointed that it was not more like the glitched game-base, allowing the avatar to roam around the buildings. It was the first Home purchase that actually prompted me to contact Sony’s customer service to seek and receive a refund for the $5. It’s not a lot of money but I wasn’t going to pay for that piece of rubbish.

I don’t care for the apartment either. It’s a fun place to play with the Heavy Water Surveillance Helicopter, and a few fog machines add a certain atmosphere. But it’s not worth the money.

So! Now I know what a Facebook game looks like? OK, that’s informational.

I love FUBAR not that it’s realistic after all who would attack a friend or ally. Come to think of it, it sounds like the real world.

The base is cartoonish but yet realistic enough I guess as to my experience in the mid 60s.

Base defense I use machine guns if soldiers are attacking and generally mortars for vehicles although I’ll use the fancier weaponry if I think I need to or just for fun.

It doesn’t take much time to play per day and can be done with just a few friends or I suppose even none. Friends are necessary to get certain objectives it seems.

For people starting out I would advise playing with friends at the same level although I’ve beaten high ranks than me which is 9 I think (Warrant Officer).

Some of the players have put in roads and such which adds a certain amount of realism and reminds me of what was but myself I jam all the buildings I can and toss out the trees and bushes and clutter. I’m not saying I’m right in strategy. And maybe I like a messy base.

FUNAR (sic) is one of my favorite games.

I also have the private space which is good for roller skating and little else but I decorated it anyway. Don’t try to put the Deluge Rain item in it though. It looks crummy.
