Just recently, I posted up an article about how I had realised that so many gamers had lost the concept of fun in gaming and are just bent on proving how amazing they are and how much everyone else is a loser.
Well it seems that I am not the only one because Destructoid have put up a post about how their Left 4 Dead experience has become a nightmare ever since a certain group of players happened to find a copy of the game on a shelf between their butt slaps and high fives.
The article is really rough in the language department, just as a taste, I have edited a short bit to let you see what I mean:
“As such, I bought the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead and have, on the whole, been enjoying the title non-stop.
That is, until the day YOU ***holes discovered it. I’m talking to you, the generic, uninteresting, stereotypical moron who ends up polluting every Xbox Live game with your Halo-drenched presence. The complete ****head who makes it his ambition to turn Xbox Live into the inner city basketball court he’s too much of a **ssy to hang out at in real life.’
At the very least check it out because it is quite a laugh.

Okay, i don’t want to start trouble but, it seems like this is a real problem on the XboX. I have played many games online with the PS3 and have never had and trouble of this kind. Yes there is the odd American idiot who gets on my nerves but it’s really infrequent.

I play versus mode alot and I had SOME issues but not as much as this guy is describing. If idiots run on their own, they get killed very quickly. All it takes is a hunter and it’s KIA. This happens a couple of times then the guy leaves. The problem sorts itself out imo.

Though it is Sony’s biggest shortcoming at the same time, the price of admission for Playstation 3 gaming means that you have a far more mature userbase playing online and it certainly shows.

More money = more mature? Not necessarily. PSN is also free while not all parents will buy XBL gold for their kids.
Give all those PSN players mics out of the box and you will have the same issue.
