So I just signed up for xbox live to play Halo 3 (which is probably the most fun I have had with a game). So as me and my son get into matches, we use these headsets to talk and to hear other players. Most people are pretty cool but swear A LOT. Some not so bad and some little kids cursing more than a drunken sailor who just got decommissioned and herpes on the same day.
The swearing is bad, but not the worst. There are many, MANY kids-teens tossing out very racist lingo. The N word is used a lot (by white people), and there are a lot of black people playing! I even heard a group saying “yes master, may I shine your shoes master”, “I hate Jew Bast-rds”. I also heard a black guy shouting out “die white boy die” 10 times in a game (where no one said anything to him to offend)… I also heard people lay into some Spanish speaking guy.
I will continue to play xbox and I understand how impossible it is for them to police millions of users. I mean it is one incredible experience for $7.99 a month… just kill the sound.
Any one want to share their gamer tag for some Halo3 or Call of duty, maybe madden? I am always looking for some new people to play with that I can talk to over the age of 12. I’m not a serious gamer but like to play.
I was thinking about buying one, but I’m holding off as I think the wifey is going to get me one for christmas. I have been droping the hint on the PS3 during commercials “WOW Sweety that would make someone a really great Christmas gift” lol. That’s how I got my Star Wars PSP last year. I mainly play games on my PC, but as of late have been getting more and more ****ed off. I don’t understand why these companys make games that crash on one system, yet are stable on another. I have been trying to finish Mass Effect for the last 2 months now and it’s near impossible. The game will crash at a certain section of it. I remember when I played games on windows 98. What get’s me about this whole thing, is it ran just about every game. Now I have XP Pro, 4 gigs of ram and more power then I could ever want on a computer. Yet these guys make a game on a DVD that has 4 gigs of data, the graphics are better, but the game play has not changed much. Yet all this power, all this data and the crap still crashes.
I would like to make the switch to a console but I’m terrible with those controlers. You need like 6 hands to play with them.
I was too. I went from original nintendo to the xbox. I must say I love the xbox 360. you get used to the controlers pretty fast and the games are so much better than the PS3. Don’t get me wrong i like the games for the ps3 there is just not that many of them. Online playability is great for almost any game you enjoy.
