Nothing to do with interaction, the truth of the matter is the majority of xbox live games you're playing peer to peer, which means rarely do you get a dedicated server and you're relying on someone elses connection being upto the task of hosting multiple people, with a pc the vast majority of games are hosted on dedicated servers so the problem of "is it up to it" is solved. Secondly some live games have a "server" browser but no ping meter, which means you can connect to a game hosted by someone in the uk and have it be a lag fest, then have to disconnect and find another server.
Why aren't browsers with pingmeters visible before joining the game a standard "must have" for live enabled games? Some have it some don't, and some have it while reporting wrong on how good the server latency is, think id rather connect once than have to fuck around connecting and disconnecting to find out if a server is "decent" or not.
The only reason i dont interact with a headset on live is mainly due to the fact the majority of players seem to do nothing but bitch when theyre playing, you get the odd game where its actualy fun to talk but from what ive expereinced most games turn into a bunch of angsty squeaky teenagers shouting "pwned" time and time again. In other words welcome to pc online circa 1999, just seems to be some new "original" fad to some of the console kids who obviously seem to think those words have never been uttered in a sentence before. Fortunately it seems to have made the pc online better, it seems most of the tards have shifted over to console gaming.
Oh yeah and please explain to me this "unlimited funds" bs? I save a bit of money, buy a card then when i want to upgrade sell it for a good price so i only have to add a small amount to get a new card, you honestly think im forking out £400 each time i want to buy a new card? Its called buying and selling before a component goes down in price too much.
