@Ukyo
I feel for you bro,sounds like gaming hell to me.I've never played a game online ever,i've been curious for there are a lot of nice looking multiplayer only games out there,APB comes to mind, but i wouldn't be able to deal with that kind of nonsense.

I'd like to see him play L4D2 realism without microphones, that works out well. Some games it's necessary, what IS annoying is if it's hands free.. if that's what you're talking about then yeah..annoying since most of the time you just hear breathing and static..or animals in the background. And the online community is fail anyway usually so I don't play 'public' games very often. Otherwise mic is fine if you have the right people that give tactics or helpful item locations and whatnot.

Best community for me was Serious Sam the Second Encounter.. I played that everyday from 02-beginning of 06.. Yeah.. crazy. The community was small for online but very few assholes. Most just..y'know, wanted to play. Only game where in a single co-op session I would be playing with a Yank, an Aussie, a brit, a German, someone from Egypt and a lady from Holland.

Yeah lots of games have the option to mute other players, or turn of voice all together.
I know what you mean I get it all the time. Don't give up on AvP for that, here are a few of my suggestions

- Find a clan to play with or friends for private matches.
- Try to get a feel for players like this, depends on the game, but sometimes they play on certain servers or have preferred game types, you can avoid those.


ps. It comes from time to time to me, but I though maybe we could make a Steam Community or Xfire Group, just trowing it out there.

@Gantw

Thanks.
Ah, u know, it's not really hell, but, u know... U just wanna enjoy a game and then u get all kinda noise from someone's house (dogs, baby crying, wife asking about lunch, cars etc.) which really ruins the immersion... And on top of that u get immature assholes who like to make annoying sounds, scream or swear at everyone (that kills them) because they r losing...

Which brings me to another thing. Why does everything have to be a competition with guys and games??? Hasn't anyone heard of playing for fun? Is that why ppl buy games to play online so they can be first on the leaderboards?? I mean, I don't give a f***k about score or if I am winning or losing. I play games cos they're fun. I know a lot of ppl (RE5 example) will pick a char they hate just because they can get the biggest score with that char... How ridiculous is that?? Like no one plays with chris, or BSAA Sheva. But, if they had the best stuff, like Wesker, then no one would play with Wesker... U know? Wtf is wrong with ppl? Is being the best the only way to have fun with a game?

Ya, in that case it's ofc reasonable. But, when u join a game with random ppl... it's a whole different story...

Ya, well, there is a Steam group for the AVP demo called: "To hatch a predator". Ppl made it because the demo online does matchmaking to find players to play with. And since the demo is from Steam (only), if u join the group, u find matches a lot faster.
U should see how the PS3 version is... I got that demo first, but there isn't anyone playing it on the PS3, or the "player finding" sucks on PS3...

I don't understand why game critics like to make comparison to a certain game and always end up calling the newer titles to be an imitation or clones of those successful games.

Yesterday, I bought Dante's Inferno for the xbox and honestly I find the game bold in its story and presentation, gore and bloody. I enjoyed the game very much and well satisfied with it. However I came across reviews for this title and am surprised to read critics gave ratings of 6 or 6.7 range. They called Dante's Inferno, the God of War imitation/clone.

This game shows boobs alright and it's not necessary another GOW copy. What if GOW came out later and Dante's Inferno made it out first. Will they still call GOW a clone or imitation of Dante's Inferno? Probably they'll have excuses like Dante's Inferno should have been made like GOW!

C'mon critics, write something honestly and I seriously doubt any'd finish the games they reviewed.

[Gantw]

What gets me is that critics are wrong most of the time imo.They've given poor scores to games that i've enjoyed immensely.SR2 for example was given poor reviews and i played through that game 5 times.Sometimes i think they're
working under the table for the competition.

[evilkinggumby]

i have to agree in general. i got to see SR2 on the ps3 when my buddy got the limited edition version for like.. $10 because it was closeout at best buy... it got terrible reviews and was generally poorly recived, mostly ( i think) because it rips a lot of it's architecture from GTA. So critics hate the fact it isn't enough of a fresh new property to give it high marks, since the next gen gta was a few notches above it in quality and style. did it make the game THAT bad as to call it crap? not really. i was totally floored at how kool, detailed, large and responsive sr2 was. lots of customization, gameplay styles, and "stuff" to do besides just missions. I mean you can effectively build, style, and run a gang.

and yes i hear a lot about how dante's is a GOW clone or trying to snag enough of the people who crave GOW before the new GOW hits... a lot of games are getting that treatment (this game is GTA clone, GOW clone, Burnout clone, Tomb raider clone, crysis clone, halo clone, etc etc etc) mostly because when you strip off all the graphics and style yes the games are very similar(sadly, yes software publishers have gotten fairly formulaic in their work now, it's less "risky") but still, unless the visuals, story, and characters are too close to another franchise.. give it a break! look at it as it's own game, despite the similarity. heck i find being able to say " this game is LIKE blah blah" is a way to hint at what to expect, without slapping it as a rip off of something else.

All I can think of was back in the day when every other game that hit on the ps2/xbox was a "max payne clone" or back on the pc when stuff was a "doom clone" or "duke nukem" rip off... sheesh... i guess the concept is nothing new but it's just as useless and tacky now as it was then.

opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one and some are bigger than others. Game critics are biased no matter what they say.I've yet taken another's opinion on a game and found it to be to what "I" like! just my nickle.used to be two cents but unemployment and the economy have driven opinions upwards and beyond the reach of us lowly blue-collar individuals!

I read somewhere over another Resident evil forum, there's this imbecile called us GVZ moderators horny 9yo.
And he thinks that mods hosted here or made here are all nude Sheva mods
Well, I read with delight and chuckled over his posted comments. Then I took a glance at his avatar, it was something like mario brothers, I broke into laughter!

here's his words
"Every single mod on the forum is a Sheva nude mod, it's probably moderated by a bunch of horny 9 year olds "

Just at what age does one starts to feel horny, I wonder why 9yo?
