I hate xbox live >:(

[The Rainmaker]

People are mean on the internet. You just have to make sure you don't follow their example.

Smartest thing i've heard all day

 

[Snotnarok]

This is why I like valve games...they usually have a mute button that can mute one person at a time. Squeaky kids, loud idiots, racists spewing n**** every 2 words, all gone with 2 clicks making the game fun again.

 

[Indigoman]

on the side with horrible people.... steer clear of rockband
guitar namely.... even in a band its just always competing to be guitar and do better than the guy on bass....

 

[itstimeforpie]

Its the games, which attract the pricks on XBL, the nicer guys are usually on the ones where you actually have to work together i.e. left for dead, or sports games.

Yeah, I have found that to be true, I have found a much smaller amount of assholes on left 4 dead.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Everyone's an idiot on Xbox Live. Fact.
Just live with it.

.... Gee thx for the insult. Even if it is true.

 

[Inco]

Look, not even 10% of people on XBox Live are arseholes. The problem is, when someone is an arsehole, they're always loud. The other 90% are decent people, but because they're not arseholes they don't have as much to say, so you don't notice them as much.
I think it's actually a named law or something; "The vocal few are the majority" or something like that.

Yea, what this person said. Sometimes though, people are dickheads because they heard that it is 'cool' to be like that on xbox live. Seems that stupidity bred stupidity. But just don't let it get to ya, unplug ya mic and either mute the other guys or laugh at how pathetic they are. Its really so simple.

Why thank you.

You might like Left4Dead. It's not perfect but the game requires so much cooperation that you're all on the same team. That dynamic reduces the "asshole factor" quite a bit. Also, people can kick people out of the game so if you run across a jerk he quickly gets the boot. That knowledge prevents jerkyness in the first place.

It's not perfect, you still find jerks but it's nothing like COD4 where almost half the people are racist idiots.

Edit: L4D also has a ton of girls. For some reason girls rarely turn into total assholes just because they are anonymous.

 

[roboosh]

Get some friends so you can moan about the dickheads together. That's what I do. Oh, and teamkill. <3 teamkill
EDIT: oh and since you are lucky enough to have the 3 consoles, stop bitching and play ps3 if you hate live so much

 

[Dragon Zero]

Don't hate the game, hate the player(s).

Seriously, it's not xbox live's fault. It sounds to me that you're playing the wrong games. Let me guess- plenty of Halo 3 and Call of Duty, right?

Play more mature games, like Rainbow Six: Vegas or Battlestations: Pacific, and you will meet more mature people.

Or just talk with your friends in private chat or a party, or take your headset off. Problem solved, now you can enjoy xbox live for what it is.

This is true to an extent though I've still met a few dillholes on Vegas but they were easy to deal with due to the sacred mute feature. Best thing to happen to gaming since the invention of the D-Pad! Anyway the age of the game also matters, play COD4 or WAW and you're bound to find monstrous dickweeds (pardon my language) but go to COD2 and the most people will say is "Good game, wanna play again?"

It also has to do with the person, I'm usually very kind when I do use my mic and so is my little bro (whom I share my profile with) but I don't like using my mic anyway.

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

People like that are on PSN, just none of them have bluetooth, so you can't hear the insults they throw at you.

They could just message me...?

to much trouble to message people in games now.

Look up gabes greater internet fuckwad theory from penny arcade it explains this very very well

 

[GiantRedButton]

To be all fair, the xbox doesnt really come with a mic, but i guess you are right.

*Looks at the mic he got with his 360 in bewilderment*

 

[Low Key]

The best way to play is with the mic plugged in, but turned all the way down. That way you won't hear all of the morons talking trash. The people who are completely silent are usually the cool ones. My friend explicitly told me to bring the headset when I first got my 360 so he could sit and talk shit the whole time. That's just what happen when people talk to each other anonymously.

 

[kiltmanfortywo]

i've found that if you leave the basic rooms, like free for all, in exchange for hard core free for all or something along those lines it cleans up nicely

 

[WrongSprite]

Cause the PS3 doesn't come with Headphones... Thats a pretty good reason.

Xbox only has more douchebags because they have more mics thats about it

To be all fair, the xbox doesnt really come with a mic, but i guess you are right.

Yeah.. they do. Also, sending a message would be to much effort for the pricks.

We are talking online gaming here. They are too lazy to keep up a fight. They'd rather just continue to play, or do something "in-game" to piss you off.

So i got a 360 for christmas, so i left my PS3 and Wii rest.
Been playing online games since Diablo 2, and never have i seen so many (excuse the language) arseholes before! Almost everyone i meet on xbox live are pricks who has an urge to swear and make rude remarks every two seconds or people who seem nice for a while but then they start being just like the the others.
Does xbox live really change people? I've never met anyone like this on PSN, so i dont get it!

I'll put it simply, xbox has cheap headsets, so the immature children can afford to have them. Also 360 is cheaper as well. So yet more children have access to 360's and headsets, thus upping the number of assholes that can yell at you over XBL.
