Platinum: PS3′s a “sports car,” 360′s a “car that everybody’s driving”

Oh i know that, he said XBL was more coordinating yet 90% of any online fps is name calling and kids like i said. Thats why i like L4D so much shows the true strengths of Xbox Live. When i play MW i never use a mike as i play a game to win not talk.

@51 as much as i like L4D and its online I cant help but think its system would be better for something sci-fi or army rather than zombies, i found it funny at first but the boomers echo of clogging up bile can get on your nerves after 23,479 time.

there some bad twats on PSN aswell, Warhawk has plenty and they use head sets with “killedyamom” especially being a cry baby if you are not as good as him in the same team (he finishes near the bottom by the way) and this guy is the worst i’ve heard in my whole online experience

Poor foul mouth sports are on every online community.

I use both Xbox Live Gold and PSN and i still dont see what the fuss is all about. They are pretty much the same to me. Maybe i’m missing something?

@51

You wont see much coordinated play when matchmaking on either platform. The cordinated games are played by community gamers and they will usually use invite-only lobbies.

There are plenty of community gaming websites out there, but certainly the communities I have been a part of have favoured the 360 because that is where features like persistent parties and cross-game chat are most useful.

Then i dare say sites like Sixthaxisis or Psu, Playstation communities basically wouldnt miss cross firmware voice chat either yet game perfectly.

@55

Obviously it’s not essential, and its more than likely the guys on those sites would game on PS even if you had to use beancans and string as comms.

I’m only speaking from experience. I’ve found the feature extremely useful but obviously people can get by without it just fine.

I’ve always wondered how CGC was useful. I’ve never used it the times I’ve used it, friends I know have never used it and I would categorize them as typical 360 owners. What is it useful for?

Absolutely the Chat in XBL is what maxes the 360 the better multiplayer platform. Games hands down are more fun and play better when you have good communication between players. From my personal experience, it’s RARE that I run across foul mouthed kids. I rarely even meet any kids online, just about everyone I meet are adults. Maybe it’s the matchmaking service, I don’t know. It’s frustrating me for me play my PS3 online for multiplayer games because the vast majority do not have communications which leads to less cooperative gameplay. On XBL I meet maybe 1 out of a 100 that DON”T use a mic, on the PS3 it’s more like 1 in 50 that DO. MS did a smart thing including a communicator device with every system. Good communication always makes teamplay more effective. Single player games are good if you don’t want to talk. When I play on the PS3 with people that don’t have a mic it’s just everyone doing their own thing with very little coordination and it just feels “less”.

Nothing that i know of. I guess its cool for people who cant keep their mouth shut for an hour or 2 a day. Kinda like cell phones, people who have unlimited minutes for their personal phone. Makes sense for business, but otherwise none.
I guess it would be helpfull for cheating.

@58
What does any of that have to do with “Cross Game Chat”?

Yes thats whats great about Xbox live, but i wouldnt say its Xbox Live itself that makes that experience better. it’s the people and the headsets. Well, the people for lucky people like you. I run into a lot of adults on XBL but they are just as bad.

heres one example while playing COD4:
1st guy : “Fuck all you losers. Playing like little bitches.”
2nd: “Dude, grow the fuck up!”
1st guy again: “Grow up, dumbshit how old are you?”
2nd guy again: “How old are you?”
1st guy again: “I’m 26″
2nd guy: “I’m 29 so shut the fuck up kid!”

i just sat there quietly laughing to myself.

The PS3 is like Olivia Mun in a bathing suit

The 360 is like your grandma in a bathing suit

and I have to say the graphics on Olivia Mun blow anything on your grandmother out the water

TEA,
Whoa!! Thanks dude! Shit, now i’ll never play with my 360 again….nice going…lol

@61 as was proven with RDR.. oh wait.. they were not better on the PS3. Will you please stop being a troll! All your going to do site 2 games over and over and over and over and over.. UC2 and GOW3.. but guess what… Neither were really known for their multiplayer. The differences in graphics on the 2 systems are really minimal. I prefer Multiplayer on the 360 because of the Chat. For single player I prefer whichever system the game looks better on. For some games like RDR, it’s better on 360. I can’t really think of any game that is cross platform that looks better on the PS3, although I’m sure there is 1 or 2 but they aren’t coming to mind.

Also, the controller for the PS3 sucks balls. I am reallly looking forward to the Power A controller for the PS3 so I can play more comfortably.

Dont you fanboys ever get tired of exchanging blows?

Again.. not a fanboy.. I have stated clearly my fondness of each system for different reasons. Hence the reason I own both of them. I merely express the features that I like better on one system or the other. I like both system, just hate the Ps3 controller.

TEA owns both of them to…

If you dont want to come across as being a fanboy, then stop posting like one.

TEA Bashes the 360 non-stop. I don’t bash the Ps3. I do not post like a fanboy. A fanboy is a blind follower. I could give a shit who makes a system, I only care about the functionality.

Wii is the best anyways!

Cross game chat is (obviously) good for when you want to talk to someone who isn’t playing the same game as you.

I use it loads for:

Asking someone if they want to join a game… Talking to someone playing another (new) game that I don’t own to ask if they recommend said game… Just having a chat with friends… etc.

Some people use it to cheat at games, but overall, it’s a feature that makes community gaming easier.

It’s much better than continually typing messages on a virtual keyboard, anyway.

It makes sense, the two systems cater to different audiences in a way, there are multi platform titles but you still have your console specific, Gears and Halo over Uncharted and Little Big Planet and God of War, reasons to play both but not everyone has the budget for both. Its not about whats better but what appeals to you.

“TEA Bashes the 360 non-stop”.

I do?

Honestly the headset, cheap as it is, packed into most xb360 might be a very overlooked ingrediant to the MS formula.

Just for the record Erth, the top part of the quote you had for my last post, was something I quoted from someone else. Of course PS2 outsold xbox.

In a sense I think that is part of the trouble in this fan war to begin with. For two generations Sony has had the best selling platform. Their fans have become used to owning the only hardware that really was worth owning(their pov, not mine I loved the Dreamcast). Fast forward to now and some of them can’t handle not only sharing the spot light, but infact having their long fav system of choice in last place. Think about it.

So many gamers are bandwagon folks. Folks that have to validate their own choices with what the guy sitting next to them is doing. Kinda said. So much energy going into trying to convince each other that THEY are making the right call. And of course if someone else likes something different, for whatever reason, then that person is dirt. An idiot. Loser with a capital L.

Crazy. All of that.

“Nothing that i know of. I guess its cool for people who cant keep their mouth shut for an hour or 2 a day”

Well thats an incredibly childish comment.

Cross game chat and persistent parties come in very useful when you have a large group of people playing for an evening, having conversations and moving between games because you can have new people join the party and prep games and modes, no need to reinvite a bunch of people when you move to other games, you can keep chat party-only so if you have sensitive ears you can screen out abuse, party chat can overcome in-game chat restrictions, etc..

Just because you dont use it doesnt mean that other people dont use it and find it a very useful feature.
