[QUOTE="Orius, post: 4096877, member: 8863"] Well, I can't stand FPSs to begin with, so I'm glad I'm not playing these games. I really doubt I'd enjoy getting fragged by these guys. I tend to prefer games like RPGs, puzzles, stragegy games, and the like. Unfortunately the vast majority of online gaming is either FPSs or MMOs. And just from playing MMOs and even some NWN PWs, I know there are bastard gamers out their who get their kicks to making everyone else's experience bad (which is one reason I don't want to play WoW). It's probably a thousand times worse with FPS games. Cooperative gaming is more to my taste, I get enough backstabbing jerks who'll do anything to get ahead IRL, I don't want them in my entertainment I use to unwind from that crap. And I can believe XBL is as bad as some have said. It's probably easier to use than a PC setup, so the Neanderthal content probably goes up. Anyway, I have enjoyed online gaming. I usually prefer to play with people who play about the same time of the day I do even if I don't personally know them. I also like smaller more competant groups in RPGs. I've had fun killing all sort of monsters just teamed up with 1 or 2 other players who knew what they were doing. It's less fun when you're in a bigger party of noobs who constantly get mauled because they're poor players and don't know how to coordinate. Even if it's a more competative game, I prefer someone who's more mature who won't rub it in if they win, or break the connection or something if they lose. Especially if they don't take it personal, and even are the type who are willing to give tips to other players. Unfortunately, very very few competative gamers are at all like that, instead they prefer easy victories against weak opponents. [/QUOTE]
