Like you, I tend to find myself on Home, just to relax when I need it most. There is something about having no goals, no need for a plan of action, no reason to rush that very few game worlds provide.

I seek somewhere away from real life, that is different whilst providing freedom. I find myself bored of games now, and desperate for sandbox games that bring something new, but mostly varied elements of fun.

I get bored easily now after playing games for over 30 years. I have no problem with staying in one game environment for the day or whatever, and would rather do that than switch games. However, even to switch games I’d struggle to find the type of games I now find fun. Most are on the PC. None, other than maybe Skyrim are on PS3.

Home at least provides some balance and calm, where I can just stop the action for a while, whilst I wait for a game world to be made that is like Home yet giving the option for calm or action or humour or a intriguingly mysterious storyline all in the same world.

Not all gamers love GTA and it’s foul-mouthed story, or the excessive killing. I played it for over a decade, loved it, grew up, and, yer, bored already!
This is a problem that games makers have yet to tackle.

I’ve played a thousand games over 30 yrs. I’ve outgrown GTA. I have money to spend on games. I’m the generation that introduced games to the few, and also brought them to the masses. So, what now? Do they want our money? It seems not. So, we get Call of Duty version blah blah blah!

And until hey do want our cash, we go on Home and relax. Our anxieties or troubles fade and we socialise with peeps like ourselves, or sit off on our own and just listen to music and daydream. Home is great for that. It could be so much more, but it’s one of the only places to just chill out with friends. Facebook with graphics!

I haven’t been on Home for a long time as my Ps3 has slowly become a dvd player now that few Ps3 games are worthy, and I saw this article online. So, thanks again, it’s nice to know I’m not alone in loving Home for being, well, for being a home!
