what is so good about "cross game chat"???

for me its a useless feature , why should i chat with random online people i do not know while playing a different game

I still don't get what's so good about that, I sure understant chat when in the same game, but why would people chat when they're doing totally different things? Imagine you're with your squad in MAG and need only to concentrate on that and suddenly 3 friends come to chat about their Warhawk victory or the game they just bought? that's nonsense to me

It's a useless feature to me, I don't want to be talking to somebody in a different game. ESPECIALLY single player games like FFXIII, I can't concentrate on the story with someone blabbing in my ear!xsynth

The people who don't understand about cross game chat make me laugh. I personally hope that they will make it more than four players as I use skype right now and I talk with more than 4 people.

Eh.

I can see the usages for the feature, but I won't pay extra for it. I have four people on my friends list. PS3 is just not the way I communicate or stay in touch with my friends so I don't "text message" or do any sort of audio/ video chatting with my console. When I am on my PS3, I'm GAMING.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"]I can't see the attraction myself, people don't really have anything important to say that can't be just sent in a text message.hxczuner

Who said anything about talking to random people?

its cool if you have real life friends on PSN. but if its random ppl u have on your list that you met from games that you played then yea, i can see it being a useless featureLP4EVA2005

whats wrong with talking to people on your friend list

sometimes we all dont wanna play the same game but we'd still like to be able to shoot the **** together

I would really see the attraction in single player games. Text chat is so inconvenient and slow it makes me want to ignore half the messages I get. I wouldn't buy PS+ just for voice chat though. That would just be an extra little bonus for it.

You can call people "noobs" while playing a non online game like Fallout 3.

i pretty much came to this conclusion

its to much of a pain in the ass to constantly pause the game type a message then start up again then pause again to read then typethen start up again then pause again to read then type then start up ect. ect. ect.

its especially annoying on a finally boss

ya dont go to the cinema and talk to your mates the whole time do yers?

single player offers a story, atmosphere and level of immersion which make the game.

if youre just runnin around poppin heads while casually talkin to others you are not experiencing single player at all

or maybe were just more social

I don't think I would need this but my friends have been recently getting PS3s so it would be nice to avoid the hassle of pausing the game to send messages to friends that just went online. And since this is based on people that have PSN+ I can talk to people I want to and not worry about haveing to talk to the not so favored people.

I understand why they're doing it. It's just something that's convinient to have. I would be excited for it, if I wasn't already using Skype to talk with people.

I dont get it either. Great for people who wanted it but its not for me. its just gonna annoy me. Now instead of someone sending me 30 invites to a game i obviously dont want to play at the moment they are just gonna nag me on voice chat.
