I recall playing Halo 3 back in the day. This one kid on there kept yelling every profanity he could. You could tell he hadn't hit puberty yet by the sound of his voice... I stopped playing for a while after that, it's a real deterrent to me personally. I'd like to play mature games with mature people. Though I suppose that's a bit naive. There are just too many idiots out there for that to be a reality lol.

showtimefolks4005d ago

I don't know but I am more of a single player gamer and even when I do play online is Killzone or resistance other than that not much else

When insomniac left out 8 player co-op in resistance 3 that was my goodbye to the series. Can't wait for next Killzone hopefully it will be a good mixture of Killzone 2-3

My experience with Killzone 2-3 on ps3 was a mature crowd playing it, I am happy ther is COd which requires no skills so all the kids are playing it and leaving other GREAT FPS alone.(not saying COD isn't great,give the game it's due it's very good pick up and play FOS)

BiggCMan4005d ago

I feel the same way about the co-op from Resistance 2 (dunno about saying goodbye to the series though, 3 was a much better story).

That mode was the best I have ever played in any multiplayer game. Everything was perfect, and everyone ALWAYS worked together in it. I love how no single class could get through a match on it's own, you absolutely NEEDED at least one medic, soldier, and spec-op guy to succeed.

That is very hard to find these days with many games making one class over powered and over used. I feel like playing that now, think I will get on it tomorrow to see if it's alive.

showtimefolks4005d ago

Yeh I shouldn't have said goodbye, I will support resistance but I think Sony is putting it on hold if I am not wrong

That 8 player co-op was magical

Like you said either work together or die and it was 99.9% of the times working together part. I hope we see that mode going forward in some other game maybe if there isn't a resistance game soon how about including it in Killzone

Mute...I've come to really appreciate it.

All Boys ages 10-14 think they are the coolest person in the world and they are all cocky and ignorant.

^ This just happens to make up about 40% of people in online games though so it becomes noticeable.

I would love to see insta-bans for stuff like that.

Yes the online gaming community would shrink a bit, but we would not have to deal with a whole segment of ignorant people in society.

Evil_Ryu4005d ago

for me the worst is wigger teens who are blasting hip hop music through there microphone and cussing every second word.

avengers19784005d ago

Or the ones that start rapping... Can't stand that... Thank god for mute

Are_The_MaDNess4005d ago

these guys have never played a MOBA game apparently.
you dont even know what hate for a player is until you have played it for quite some time.............

ExCest4005d ago

Well, their anger is slightly justified since MOBA games are highly competitive. It breeds competitive players who want to win and people who bring them down are a nuisance to them which gets them angry, making them a nuisance to others.

kneon4005d ago

There are people who fit into several categories at once so the possible number of combinations is pretty big.

SonyPS44005d ago

I am considering getting into PC gaming and play online there. That way there would be less chances of running into 8-year old kids that swear more than every adult gamer I know...

NarooN4005d ago

I've been on PC for years and trust me, there's still a lot of kids there too. Not nearly as much, but still a lot.

Qrphe4005d ago (Edited 4005d ago )

There are underage kids everywhere. Maybe because you haven't played, but there are plenty of horror stories from CS and TF2.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
