XBox Live Awkwardness

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I love my Live account, usually, when I get to play with larger groups of people in COD or Halo or, when I feel like being completely useless, TF2. But I've always secretly hated playing sports games online 1v1 with strangers.

I decided to pop in MLB 2K7 last week for some online play and I ended up beating, barely, this 11 year old from New York. Now, the game was awesome but it was the damn kid that was annoying. I know I don't have to talk to the kid but I know he's there and he knows I'm there so a friendly "Hello" leads to a half-assed discussion about baseball and then into him bashing my Angels as he gloats about his Yankees and his reasons why Orlando Cabrera should go back to Mexico.

That's when I realized I could take all the "faggots", "your mom's a bitch", and "noob" shit from big multiplayer games but I cannot stand the 1v1 gloating sons of bitches, especially after you just sent a 3 run jack into the stands. It's almost like an old-fashioned doctor's house call to fuck up your gaming experience.

God, I hate children with Live accounts.

First off, fuck the Yankees. Second, this is one of the reasons I'm not really crazy about going back into gaming. Basically because this shit is so freakin tired.

Isn't there a way to turn off the microphone so you don't hear his comments?

You can turn it off or mute the kid. Easy to do.

I don't have Live, though that is due mainly to the fact that my connection hub is too far from my 360 and wireless is too unreliable; but stories like this makes me glad I don't.
Now I do go online gaming on my PC but I rarely run into problems like these there even after all the years I've been doing it. Is this type of immature behaviour somehow more prevelant in Live for some reason?

I remember hearing that Golf games had amazingly fun players online, is this still true? I haven't golfed online and sounds like a fun reason to buy another Tiger Woods game.

If you look hard enough, you can usually find some cool people to game with. But you've got to look really hard.

The Live Vision camera can make this easier. If I start to play a game of UNO, and any of the players are naked guys, I find a new game.
