Funny I thought they was no voice chat in any of the Dark Souls games on either the XBox 360 or PS3. Gold member or notQuote:

aside: i would trade voice chat for the return of custom soundtracks so hard...i used the latter far more than the former last gen
Kind of apples and oranges. Yes, MS's Azure cloud solution is rock solid, and something Sony can't compete with on their own... But Sony can buy resources from them, Amazon, or whoever else if they need it... so it's not really like Sony can't compete at all, they just need to use someone else's infrastructure instead of their own.Quote:

I do agree XBL is better than PSN mind you, but it's not as drastic a difference as it was back in the early PS360 days.

The thing about gamers is, 99% of them are awful, awful people.
I have absolutely zero desire to be entertained by mouthy 13 year old little shits, or fatass balding mid 30 guys who live with their parents. I have to mute you fuckers so much.
Party chat is dope though i'm all over that shit, especially with netflix.
Edge has suggested a Skype style chat amongst the peanut gallery types. I'd be up for that.
That's why I said "Private" voice chat and not "Party" voice chat, chum. Because you see, Microsoft doesn't leave you to the mercy of developers as much as Sony. I'm also talking about this from personal experience as I have some memorable playthroughs of chatting with some interesting people. One of which I've done 3 entire playthroughs of DS1 with while we we're connected and chatting up a storm via Private chat. Good times, good times. So when I say it's a really nice feature, I also mean I really experienced this first hand so not just talking out of my ass. X-Bot wins.Quote:

I think Sony actually migrated away from AWS years ago after their design incompetence was revealed to the world, and PSN dropped for a month. They're still fragmented to hell.
Both platforms are ridiculous and slow compared to whatever Valve's doing for Steam.
There's a way around it on X-Box with Party chat. X-Box 360 has Party Voice Chat (only 1 on 1) and Private Voice Chat (up to 8 people chatting at once). Of which PS3 has neither, only a very laggy text party chat which actually add to extra memory leak in game with memory leak, lol. Why on PS3 you're at the mercy of developer to include in game voice chat or not. Lucky future DS games, starting with DS2, From Software finally allowed in game chat as an option.Quote:

But Private and Party Voice Chat is X-Box only, so X-box wins.Quote:

You know what else I love? When Sony PS4 players themselves admit to this too when I run into them in the wild online and how they sometimes like to say "Thank goodness with finally have party chat this time around."
Or even Origin. Playing Mass Effect 3 mp on Origin VS PS3 and 360 shows superior connection. The PS3 is however the laggiest.Quote:

"My mom wants to watch netflix."

Party chat killed public on Xbox this time around. Nobody's talking in public chat much anymore. Even in a private chat, with "Swearing OK" tags to your own Xbox Club. If one of your friends in on that chat reports you for language, you'll get banned from Xbox Live by their enforcement goons. Redmond is benevolent, and Redmond is insane.
New Xbox Live is built into the Windows 10 app now, but it's nothing compared to Discord.
Playing and lag has nothing to do with it when most of the games are peer to peer on consoles anyway.Quote:

I'm talking about download speeds from the networks.
You sure they werent' just looking for an excuse to leave the chat? :pQuote:
