They were a little harsh on it, but really, not by much. An open environment where you have to wait in line to play pool? If I wanted strangers to be pissed at me because I was taking forever to sink the eight ball, I'd go to a real bowling alley. The load times are kind of bad, too.

I wasn't exactly chewing at the bit on this one in the first place, but for all the hype, I expected a little more out of an "open beta."

The idea of it being a novelty is pretty accurate. It's cool being able to create a slightly more realistic avatar, but I wstill don't really feel all that inclined to use the home system.

The system is very much like life, and if you want that, you should probably venture out into the real world, where spontaneity and fun exist. This seems more like tedium. All they need is a "chore" system, with minigames like "painting your walls" and "vacuuming" to really seal the deal.

If they add more shit, it might be interesting. The Beta, however, is nothing more than a novelty.
