Er, PS3 didn't have Private or Party voice chat at all. Only a very laggy Party "Text" chat interface. No voice whatsoever.Quote:

Steam's social network is a joke compared to any of them. Nobody at Valve gives a shit enough to fix it while there are better alternatives.
I wouldn't care if I got banned. Got plenty of email addresses. And lol, everyone I know on X-box loves bragging about who has the lowest user ratings and all the lovely hate mail we receive. Now that's the X-box experience I know and love. ;)Quote:

Can't deny this, as it's one of my fave things about playing online ME3mp on PC. Because I can have media player playing my fave video game tunes in the background. But only for online games like ME3mp. Never Dark Souls games or single player games.Quote:

That's because the consoles themselves suck. You're going to get the same kind of experience on the Xbox One as you are the PS4, because the CPUs are hot garbage in those consoles.Quote:

Dude, PS3 comes with no mic, has no private or party "voice" chat, and only has shit laggy UI party "text" chat. Enlightened yet?Quote:

You're like the 1% who really gives a shit about voice chat. You know how I keep in contact with my real friends? I pick up my cellphone and call them. If that wasn't good enough for you, there was always Skype on the PS3.Quote:

Anyhow, you're bringing up really old shit. The PS4 has private party chat.

Gives a shit about voice chat or not matters not. These are still huge things to having a proper online environment.Quote:

Yes, I buy BT headsets too over any default headset. But many don't and it's main a thing to help others talk and add to a more talkative online environment. This would be my major guess as to why it's so much less chatty on PS3 VS X-Box 360.
Yes, PS4 has party chat (finally, talk about late to the party!), but we were talking about PS3 VS 360.
And wasn't it this forum that bitched and complained about Nintendo forcing player to use cell phones for chatting and communicating with other players? ... I could have sworn it was...
No, you were talking about the PS3 vs. 360. And it wasn't voice chat, it was cross-gaming chat. It wasn't possible on the PS3, because of system ram. Still, the PS3 had the largest multiplayer on consoles with its 60 player skirmish maps on Resistance 2. It also offered free games with a subscription to PSN+, which MS had to counter that with their Games with Gold, and a paid subscription was not necessary for Netflix on the PS3, while MS made you pay for Gold to use that feature. MS was always playing catchup to what Sony was doing in the latter half of that generation. I dropped my Gold subscription with Xbox, after 10 years, because I wasn't using it as much as I had before.Quote:
