Want to see the de-evolution of video gaming with your own two eyes? Look no further, grab yourself an xbox 360 and also, get a gold membership. Sign on to virtually any xboxlive game and youwill see it yourself. Ever wonder why games are getting more dumb with more "cookie cutter" or "comfort blanket" features as we "progress" through the years? I point my fingers at the majority of "gamers" on xbl.

I stress the word majority, because not everyone on xbl is a mindless ant with no personality of their own or self-worth.. Or the capability of taking the initiotive in objective-based games, or games in general. In general on the average, these people are not really gamers. They are just there, even in team-based games, they act like they're playing in a free for all playlist. Why? Because they are there for themselves but are too insecure to fight on their own without the reasurance that theres a teamate there to give them a piggyback ride.

Obviously you've never played games on the PC.

The scum that I met on Counter-Strike many years ago must have gave birth to XBL racist kiddies.

The only difference between the PC crowd and the XBL crowd is that voice chat is standard and built in on XBL. I would venture the same amount of retards would be on PC if there was universal voice chat in all games.

Corak

I agree.

Also, more substance in a blog.

Also I like your user name big bad wolf, and your avatar of the 360/Wii picture. Are you one of the peope you speak of on xbl? You know the ones with the handle of XxchickmagnetxX and are actually 10 years old.

HAHAHAHHA. Yeah well most of the guys I played left 4 dead with had no mics. I played with my friend too he is getting a mic today. Too bad im house sitting and my xbox is at home. If any one wants to add me as a friend. gamer tag is kfizz187.

I'm playing TF2 on PC now, and it's really not bad at all.

Also, this is why I am glad I have a PS3, no one had mics :)

atheistium

Ever been on the PSN? Played Counterstrike on PC?

A lot of GAMERS are retards. It's not just XBL, it's gamers in general.

I'd like to agree with some of the above comments. In fact, a few days ago I would have said something like what jamontheone said.

But I've got left 4 dead on PC and 360 now, and have had countless great multiplayer games with randoms on Steam and almost no problems. My first 3 games on 360 consisted of a mixture of teamkilling, abuse, sheer ineptitude (some guy falling off the building on the first level of No Mercy) and complete lack of regard for people who are just trying to have a good time.

It's a great game on both systems but there is a huge difference in the playerbase and it's not to the 360's favour as much as I hate to contribute to a probably slightly unfair stereotype.

If you are so upset about it go play with your Wii and juggle your Wii Codes around with each other.

Daxelman

Actually, Paradise City PSN is just a lot of people who like to talk about there personally problems, and then cry when they crash.

And the occasional 12 year old with a Speech Impediment.

They all bought WarHawk.

quincy happened on XBL right?

BFeld13

point my fingers at the majority of "gamers" on xbl.

Why would you point more than one finger? That would just look stupid. Also, why is gamers in quotations marks? Are you the true gamer? What the fuck is a gamer? Thanks for bawwing.

blehman

Do you really have nothing better to do than right "blog" after "comment" on how much you hate xbl gamers?

YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

The Big Bad Wolf

People who are offended by my blog, kill yourselves. Exactly the problem of online gaming, you. There's not enough comfort blankets and dumbed down cookie cutters to shield you from criticism. Boo hoo
