Why do people insist on acting like idiots on Xbox Live?

I played live back in 03 to '04 and people were actually decent, but when Ibought a 360and signed back up for live, it's like human eveloution took a step back. Litterally people spouting the most hateful and slanderious things to eachother, people sayingperfectionyou suck **** perfection, perfection you suck **** when they beat the oposite team on halo 3, people saying to hispanic people, hey mexican, stop speaking mexican. If its not that, people singing in their mics thinking they actually sound good, or you have people who team kill for vehicals in the online shooters. The list never ends, and lest not forget the people who are stupid enough to say they sell weed to their mother and saying their my mom, they don't get any special treatment they are just like any other customer, really?

xblive has a younger ave age. Thats why.

I knew Halo 3 would be brought up, I played it earlier today and heard the same things, and damn those kids too.

Anyways, people can change and want to do more freedom, it can be annoying but also funny and pretty fun depending on the person.

Even I will admit I was an annoying douche when I was 11... We all knew annoying kids in school. And now you know what they did when school was over, played video games! but now they get to spew their idiocy across the world.

Common sense and social behavior toward ps3. Ps3 was much more expensive so not many kids bought a 500 dollar gaming system. Also alot of younger kids are obsessed with there halos and mw2, geow, ect. 360 was cheaper andis more popular amoung children and teens then ps3 (why do you think its sold more)

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"] Well, I would say that consoles in general compared to the pc have a larger amount of youth playing them. tehsystemwarior

Because the internet gives people anonymity. They can spew out whatever crap they want, and not have to deal with the consequences. Kinda what keeps System Wars alive :P

Kids will be kids

But I want some of this on Xbox Live:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjaaM7dGZQ0

of course you don't respond...when faced with an actual debate, you'll back out:?

I dunno, people act like idiots on all online services. PSN, Live, Steam, even on the Wii Connect Network. On PSN the people talking are always obnoxious and too loud, on Live same thing, Steam I turn off voice communication, but in text chat people on Team Fortress 2 servers always say really stupid crap, and on Wii, on Brawl I have run into way too many people who just run off the platform over and over, takes the fun away. That's probably part of why I like SP so much more than MP.

and when I consider the half-dozen holes in your argument....:lol:

As for common sense look at ps3s price point during the last few years compared to 360. 360 muliplate wise was seen as doing the same for cheeper + halo, l4d, geow, ect. Parents would much rather buy the 360 or wii for there kids then a ps3. To casuals ps3 is just starting to take off as a better product.

more money for product tends to mean older audience

I usually act normal and try to get some good team tactics started, but when I'm drunk I try to make as many people pissed off at me as possible. It's more entertaining. Luckily I don't play drunk often

I don't know why people complain. You can just mute them, or you can start your on party.

here, I'll apologize for the sarcastic eye-rolling crap.

but generalizing little kids isn't exactly the best way to go about this. Partly because it isn't necessarily easy to figure their age out. Yes, high-pitched voices are a good sign of it, but a high pitched voice doesn't mean they are annoying in terms of rudeness or acting like idiots. I say that older people prove themselves to be the just as rude, as that's what I've run into.

some people perceive the little kids trying to encourage team-work as annoying, it's the wrong way to characterize someone. you might not like what they're saying, and it's again going to be based off their voice, but are they being idiots? is that being rude?

I'm not trying to say that PSN or Steam are worse than XBL, at all. It's probably the same, and there is no accurate statistic to provide, which is why I promptly called you out on that.

I can see a slight correlation between price points and a parent's decision, but I can easily argue that an Xbox Live subscription is going to push a parent's boundaries. in fact, I could go as far to say it weeds out little kids. But it's pretty obvious there are spoiled brats out there, that cannot be refuted.

another thing is that the PS3 doesn't come standard with a microphone. Basically that plays a big role in who you're going to hear and what will be said.

I'm not trying to be some type of Moses for these little kids, but when accurate statistics can't be provided and I myself find the worst things about the online community to be coming from older players just as much as the young, I refuse to agree.

and by throwing in some of the things I've said, I'm not trying to play it off like you said a lot of those things yourself, but more of how you insinuated them.

and attitude towards another console isn't really the best way either, I'm sure in Japan the kid with an Xbox 360 gets plenty of flak, just because of one particular happening doesn't make the attitude universal. even look at this forum, when 360 exclusives start getting hyped up, you see plenty of alternate accounts and bashings. you see the same thing with a PS3 exclusive, the same stuff happens.

Sorry for the denial laugh, you make good points. I suppose another possibility is that because of 360s larger user base there'sa larger number of immature aswell asrespectable players .However its usuallyeasier to remember a immature individual yelling and screaming then it is to remember those other normal well played games.

yeah, remembering negative things is always the easiest. Negativity can be applied to so many other situations as well, thanks for the reminder, actually.

so can we agree that it's probably the same:question:

USA has the largest % of 360's. That is all. Also every 360 comes with a mic, so less mics means fewer annoying kids to be heard.

moistsandwich

no!!!! counter-productiveness.

why generalize Americans:?

edit: meh, maybe the larger userbase comes in here, but on ratio, I'll swear that any country can compete with America in rudeness.

They aren't acting, it's the real thing.

It's because the majority of people on earth are idiots. SAGE_OF_FIRE

This is true, but it seems like a disproportionate number of them gravitate towards XBL.

My XBL experiences are always muted.

Because parents can't smack their kids anymore.
