When Home first came out, I was pretty disappointed and underwhelmed... I think a lot of ppl were. The idea was really cool but after visiting all the spaces, there really wasn't much to do but dance. The arcade was cool, I enjoyed all of the minigames like chess, pool, & bowling... but it wasn't enough to keep me coming back.
But after reading all this stuff on Xi, I started to get curious and took some time to venture back into Home today. First, I have to say that I was surprised at the amount of ppl still visiting & chatting and stuff. I thought Home would have started to feel a little more deserted by now. If I was surprised at the amount of ppl in the regular spaces, I was very surpised when I finally found the Xi space... packed with ppl!
But Xi is EXACTLY what Home needed! It's not a game per se, but it's an interesting space filled with actual ACTIVITY. I've read they have more spaces announced and coming... I hope that more of them are like Xi because it definitely adds some value to Home and the mystery element gives me reason to keep coming back. In addition to adding more spaces, they also need to make the theatre..... interesting. I'll give them until E3 for that though I guess. I hope they make good use of it then.
They are requesting the 5 most wanted spaces now... what do you guys think? What other interesting spaces would keep it fun for coming back. The mystery puzzle idea of Xi is great for me, but that may not be for everybody... what other types of rooms could really keep us engaged?
