Xbox Live is so gay (and bi, lesbian and transgender too)

Gaming Target writes:

"Marc Whitten, the General Manager of Xbox Live, has posted a new letter to the community describing a change in the Xbox Live Code of Conduct. As of today, Xbox 360 owners will be able to describe themselves as straight, gay or bi in their Live profile or Gamertag."

Fantastic...They can now truncate their gamertags since "Gay" uses less characters than "Super" and "Fierce"

rroded5159d ago

dont worry most of dont bite unless you ask nicely ;)

KingJFS5159d ago

It really is embarassing how long it took. But I'm glad to see Microsoft finally did the right thing.

zoks3105159d ago

What is this a dating application or a game sever, who cares if you are gay or straight on Live, is that information ever necessary when playing video games?

nveenio5159d ago

I don't care if anyone is gay anymore than if they're straight. The only reason people threw a fit about this is because they weren't allowed to do it. In reality, this will just open the door for homophobes to collectively launch attacks against gay players, prompting a bunch of false reports and unwarranted suspensions. Sure, gays should be allowed to say they're gay...I'm just not sure that the game--scratch that--I'm just not sure that the Live community is mature enough to handle the information.

I guess everyone will find out, though. Don't be surprised to see this decision repealed...

Mr_Bun5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

I'm sure the community isn't mature enough, but more importantly, why would the GAMING community want to know where you slide your sausage?

Bottom line: If you are going to go out of your way to inform a bunch of strangers what your sexual preference is, don't expect them to be silent

HxCGamer5159d ago

def not mature enough, haha but c'mon just imagine all the new possibilities!!

Mr_Bun5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

I don't want to imagine it, and I definitely don't want to be teabagged by your clan, lol!

LordMarius5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

yep this is going to end well

HxCGamer5159d ago

whats ur gamertag big boy ;]

and Mr Bun.. we'll be gentle lol

Tiberium5159d ago

can't they just leave your sexual preference out of the GT.

Mr_Bun5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

LMAO...I bet you will!
Remind me never to turn my back on you!

Aaroncls75159d ago

A person teabagging another person of the same sex has always been a gay activity, so yeah; most xbox/Halo players are gay...

If you are one of those online teabaggers, then you are a f@g, sir.

Lawl.

sikbeta5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

Must be a Pain for a dude who is gay, when a lot of dudes on Live scream gay or f@g and more cr@p in every game, not talking about how bad-mouthing the crowd is, just pointing out that if a dude who is gay listen @ two kids using the word gay as an "Insult", it must make him feel bad, probably....

Edit:

I remember a video on youtube about 2 guys playing F2 and then the guy who upload the Video, stop playing and wanted to quit, then the other guy started to talk to him with a feminine voice...it can be offensive and such but the video was a Huge laugh....lol

Gaming FTW!!!

dude its not gay if you are the one sucking it.. duh

pimpmaster5159d ago

wow, MS always does this bs to steal money. now all the gay people are gonna have to pay 800 points to change their GT back to what it used to be.

SilentNegotiator5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

That just means more hateful talk and awkward teens trying to find people on teh internets.

They should have stayed with the old policy. I'm all for freedom of speech, but some discussion just doesn't belong to certain situations.

edgeofblade5159d ago

Toulouse recently gave an interview for G4 where he spells it out that NOTHING in Live moderation is automatic (not even getting people to "help" you change your gamertag). So, no, people might gang-up on people who are homosexual, but it won't lead to unwarranted suspensions. It might lead to suspensions against people who abuse the reporting system, though...

JackBNimble5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

This is really odd!

I would like to know why homosexuals feel the need to tell the gaming world their sexual preference? You never see straight gamers labeling themselves do you? Why? Because it doesn't matter.

So we have gay gamer groups, girl gamer groups now all we need to do now is make straight gamer groups.....But then again if we straight people did that it would probably be considered offensive towards the gay community.

menoyou5159d ago

This is just plain gay. Microsoft should have stuck to their guns but I guess no one has the balls to stand up to politically correct cry baby activist groups these days.

irepbtown5150d ago

So i write about what i think of Gays Bis etc and it gets deleted?

F***king hell, and

LordMarius5159d ago

now all the N4G bots have the freedom to express themselves. lol

SilentNegotiator5159d ago

Can I identify Xbox LIVE as "gay" too?

irepbtown5150d ago

What's wrong with posting on both zones?

Have you got no life? Do you check peoples comments constant?
Wake up man,

MS should stop providing headsets with their consoles cuz this could turn ugly for some of the N4G folks

TGSI

Aaroncls75159d ago

Lesbian clan is win.

Machoish women wielding rifles = hawt. As long as they're not fat and hideous. Sign me up, b!tches.

irepbtown5150d ago

This would be a funny story if it happened,

Some kid aged 10 gets an Xbox, and headset. He plays MW2 or w.e and some bloke adds him, he accepts. Just as he clicks the profile to check who the bloke is, his mom comes in, she reads and sees that he is Gay.

Just imagine that,

HxCGamer5159d ago

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer3h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6022h ago(Edited 2h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya44m ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde36m ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx27m ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro8h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B5h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21835h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh5h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia5h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins5h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal4h ago

The first game was the best imo.
