In the early days there were a couple of great games everybody had, there was no party chat, and the matches were epic. I met loads of great people some of who I still play with and had a laugh in game, sure there were plenty of dicks but the insults were as much fun as the camaraderie. Now everybody's playing a different game, the only people talking are idiots given free reign and I can't remember the last time I buddied up with a stranger. In my opinion the sense of gaming community that was there is gone.

I'm looking forward to new hardware, but I think we'd be very lucky if the start of the next gen is as varied and experimental as the start of this one. There's hardly any developers capable of making AAA on-line games on this hardware and they're almost all locked into the same old franchises.Webbins wrote:I think the community will gather again for the next gen. New hardware and a smattering of release titles will see to that. Doubtless the fragmentation will occur again, I think the length of this gen has magnified that.

Talking to Kinect will not break it.
