Do Gamers Really Want "Home"?

Well, I am a hardcore gamer and I like playing video games but I think Home is pointless.I get on to play video games and play with friends,I do not to want to waste my time in a 3D social network.

 PS:I own a 360, and my brother owns a Ps3 and Wii.

You like wasting time on a 2d social network , why not a 3d one ?

I was originally pretty psyched for it but now not so much...

I already spend some time in second life and that has everything else home will have and more.

Second Life is for people who couldn't get the first life right.

Home just seems like a more convenient version of this.

I'm not hyped about it, but I don't completely hate it either.

It's just there.

I don't really care about Home because even if it does come out I doubt I would use it oscar530

That's a little unfair....

I like my life and go on second life to escape, much like gaming itself too. 

It's basically an MMOG with no grinding...

Yeah, 'escaping' is the same thing that the hardcore users are doing, but to a much further extent.

Escaping is fine, as long as you've got it under control and you're not all the way, completely detached from reality.

People like that usually have it really bad, so I'm not going to judge, but so does someone else somewhere on the planet. If they can deal with it, you should be able to also.

But all of those things are part of reality, right?

Well, it's what society has told us. What the super hardcore gamers do is seen as taboo because they're living in a completely different world as most everyone else does.

The same principle can be applied to the mentally unstable, who pretty much live in their own world. (I'm NOT calling the hardcores mentally unstable)

You can't apply the same thing to music or TV as you can with video games because they aren't as immersive as games have become.

You can listen to a song in 2-3 minutes, then it's over, and you get on with your life, but video games have come so far that some get too involved in it. I'm talking about those people who go out and try to mimick video games with real life activity.

It's a bit silly to me, but that's just my opinion.

Dealing with the problems may not always be easy, but it's unacceptable to just avoid them. It'll come back to you eventually and it's very much like drug addictions.

People do drugs to escape, but then there are the ones who do it for fun or experimentation.

It all just depends on who you are and where you stand.

[QUOTE="Scianix-Black"][QUOTE="americahellyeah"] Its not always that easy.. i often using gaming as a way to escape.. just like alot of people watch Tv, Movies or listen to Music.. just those things haven't had as much negative association as gaming.. well maybe music but not in the same way.Nogard229

I'm talking about the ones who literally try to live their video games in real life.

PS:I don't know why people hate reviews from GS? I look at the main scores like xplay, GS,IGN ONLY main sites.Because i hate when example a site named PablitosGamingDen.com gives it a low score it lowers the average.

That's too bad. Well, like I said, it really depends on where you stand and what you've experienced.

Now, I'm not blaming video games or anything, so don't think that lol.

I'm really blaming the people, and like I said, video games are just another drug, like any other kind of media, as you say.

It's inexcusable to get addicted to something like that just to escape from real problems. It's nice to play for fun, but you can't take it too far and expect everything to get better.

It's inexcusable, but you gotta understand that as my opinion.

There is a psychological problem, I'll agree, but most of the psychology is in getting out of the addiction rather than getting into one. It's relatively easy to become addicted to something that makes you feel good, that's why I find it so unacceptable: It's easy.

Drugs may make you feel good, but sooner or later you're gonna come down from that high and all your problems will come flooding back to you.

Video games are fun to play, but getting super involved in them can only supress the negativity, not fully extinguish it.

It's not like you have to have some kind of psychological instability to get addicted to drugs, because it can happen to anyone.

That's what distinguishes the strong from the weak in terms of willpower.
