technically you can talk to someone who is playing a different game, its called picking up your damn phone and calling them, i do it all the time



This has got to be the most crappy excuse the playstation community ever had to come up with to compensate for the fact that they cannot have a certian feature. They claim CGC is annoying and will distract you from the game, and then they come up with this cell phone crap. Wouldnt holding a phone to your ears while playing a game be more annoying and cumbersome?

Am I the only one who sees the thread broken?

Well, at least they admit it openly and don't try to give us a bs explanation, which is welcome. Not having cross-game chat doesn't bother me too much but I guess some people may not like this.

They still should have said this years ago.

It makes me sad so many people don't care for cross-game chat. There are some features on XBL and PSN people use and some people don't use like Netflix, HOME, ESPN, Hulu, etc, but cross-game chat is one of those features everyone, I mean EVERYONE uses. I don't know a single person on XBL that doesn't use cross-game chat or doesn't like it because it's just one of those features that have just makes XBL so damn good. The people that say they don't care for cross-game chat and either liars or have never used the feature before so they don't know how awesome it really is.

Crap, my xbox friends do NOT use cross game chat at all. They barely use headsets. I they dont care for it. I have used it once before and i thought it was stupid. I barely use a headset for my games let alone wanting to talk to someone who is not even playing a game im playing. What would that benefit me?? WOuld it not be easier to pick up my phone and call that person?? CGC waste of time for me


I think most people would agree it's a lot easier to send a party chat with a push of a button than to call someone on the phone because I have a feeling you don't have everyones phone number that is on your friends list. Who wants to run up a phone bill if it's someone out of state or even out of the country. Plus you can talk to more than one person in a party chat. I could come up with more reason if you want me to? 

are you kidding me? they both require you to push one button i only have about 18 people on my friends list on PSN. 7 of those people are people who are my ACTUAL friends, not some jackass that friend requested me. I have all of my friends's numbers, These friends do not know each other. So a party chat would do me no good at all. I could kind of see where your coming from, if your a little kid with no cell phone and limited amount minutes. But im a grown man, who's always paid his own phone bills and call my friends from eveywhere or if that fails theres FB which they spend just as much time on anyway. So again CGC is useless for me. But if you can find some more reasons why im "missing out", lay it on me

It's still a lot simplier to send a party chat request then to call someone on the phone. I have about 75 friends on my friends list and about 28 being people I know personal so I don't plan on getting phone numbers of everyone on my friends list. I pay for my phone bill also, but I still don't want to give someone my phone number I don't know personally. What if I want to talk to that person for an extensive amount of time and they are not playing the same game? It's a lot easier to wear a mic than to have a phone to your ear while playing a game. What if I want talk to more than one person at a time? What if I get in a game of Halo and there are annoying little kids?? All that can be solved with Party chat and not a phone.

Well at least that's another "just wait topic" we don't have to hear rolled out in the future.

Good, maybe you can give me an example of how you typically use it.  I only have a PS3, and I hear tons about Cross-Game Chat, but I still fail to understand how its typically used.  You sign into XBL, you boot up a game of skate 3.  You jump in a channel in which a few of your XBL friends are on and playing other games?  I make a comment like that was a sick line, another friend shoots someone in the head on COD, and the third is playing an RPG that has no multiplayer at all and he just casted wizards breath.

 

So if this is true, you cant really talk about the game.. you just talk about school or homework or who is the biggest dousche on Jersey Shore?  If this is the typical application, then I could seriously care less.

 

What does sound applicable to me would be if Im online playing skate and my friend wants me to join his game of COD, he chats me up to tell me to join his game blah blah.. then we go do that and chat inside game.  Similar to a join game request, just done in a 30 second conversation?

 


You seem to be wrong about one thing though, Xbox owners don't play RPG's or Sport games



Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous

 

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5,  Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.
