I don't play online games anymore, but this makes me sadly nostalgic for playing Halo 2 on the Xbox at launch back in my late teens and other games on that console. There was shit talking galore and it was amazing.
Problem is I guess now gaming is open to more people, there's vastly more chance of those who would take it way too far
I haven't played online since the 360 days so who knows what the experience is like now. Only have time for single player titles nowadays.
it turned from a bunch of 12-18 year olds screaming "I fucked your mom last night" to a bunch of mid-late 20-30s saying "you stupid n*****" every other sentence...
I have turned off game chat in every game since modern warfare 2019
I miss the 360 era myself, but as someone who enjoys playing competitively in every game, it's hard to play unless you have a bunch of like minded individuals with you... and I even find that challenging some days
Those 20-30 year olds were probably those same 12-18 year olds lol
