I agree, I like a good RPG or Shooter still, but I don't feel like I need more of them.

I keep talking about me buying a 360, this is for the JRPGs and, more so, for the really good original stuff on XBLA.

Same goes for PS3, I am looking forward to making levels in LBP and playing Fat Princess OverweightBig Boned Royal.

 

The biggest change for me has been live and multiplayer.  Before the 360 I never went online.  Now when I play shooters R6, GRAW, GOW online its a totally new game and experience (and tons harder people online are insanely good most of the time) online changes how it plays

 

I think many people do not care about online play.

Reasons why I don't like it:

1. I suck at shooters, I hate being reminded how much I suck.

2. Teens and tweens, I do not like them.

3. Hateful language. Yes, I know I can turn off the voices, but then what's the point, I may as well play off line.

4. People starting matches they don't intend on finishing (Mostly an RTS problem)

5. Live costs money.

6. I don't like shooters or sports that much.

 

Edit: though many, many people are playing Mario Kart and SSBB Online... just go check out their 1000+ post threads.

 

Before 360 I was not a fan of online either, MS makes it pretty easy to get online and find friends to play with

Reason why I like online

1. I suck at shooters but most of my friends (30-40 year old) do also and I play with them mostly so when everyone playing sucks we are all on par and its fun!  Also I find a few cool people along the way and add them to my firends list

2. tweens and teens is being harsh many are cool a lot are annoying, I play with adults, I post onn boards looking for adult games you could do the same

3. Hateful language is an issue I agree. I dont play with people who do it.  Once you buiild up a good friends list this issue goes away mostly.  A good host wont put up with it and when I host I boot people after a warning if they use hate labguage

4. Again get a goods friends list and they wont quite on you

5. Live does cost money $50.00 for 13 months thats $3.85 a month you pay for internet access probably like $25-$50.00 a month.  Its nice to have the matching and friends list

6. Got to admit shooters are fun online and mostly what I play online so I cantt argue with you there.
