Why does it seem like the idea of creating a virtual world/hangout

That's why.

its easier to just pop into a chat room and shoot the shit while you play other things. i mean, those games never had anything you could actually do.

Cause they were fucking boring as all hell. I think it was playstation home that had some promise? But playing virtual pool and bowling gets boring pretty quick

Like everyone else said, it gets boring fast without shit to do. There's nothing inherent to Second Life that prevents it from being what you're describing in the OP except for the fact that there's nothing to do there that isn't done better elsewhere. That's why the majority of people on Second Life are either extremely lonely or eccentric fetishists/furries.

True. But sometimes I dream of some epic dating/life sim, taking place in a city, where you can walk around the parks, or visit malls, or go in bars, and just stuff like that. I feel like there's still some promise there

I remember the first time I played GTA IV and walked into the city the first time, it was this feeling of "woah...", like I could walk around in a living, breathing world. Of course, the game felt kind of empty, but there was that initial rush

We have virtual worlds. They're called MMORPGs.

I miss Active Worlds, and I miss The Palace
