Arcade games just don't appeal to me.

I really hope one of the new voice chat options is group voice chat.

Thanks man. I hardly get into any arguments on live most of my bad feeback has come from twats that give it for anything like if I paste them on Fifa or kick them out of a Gears game due to it being an all friend match.

On Xbox 1 they had this function and it was a joy. People could just join without an invite but one person chats are OK but in order to have a full chat you have to sit in a game Lobby. I can appreciate the chat not working if say 4 participants are all playing different games but perhaps a dashboard chat is achievable.

I have been suffering shed loads of abuse on PES lately, anybody else getting this? Makes me laugh when I score and watch the replay over and over and some kid is going bananas threating to murder my family :laugh:

Why would you really need to watch a replay over and over anyway mate ? I mean, I wouldn't abuse anyone for doing so, but if they repeatedly kept acting silly in Replay mode I'd just send them negative feedback or whatever. I usually only watch a replay once, if the goal is something special anyway, but often I just skip them all as many goals in PES just seem to be the same, sometimes due to the keeper falling over.

I always skip right throught the celebration and replays even if it is a Gem I will wait until end of half. I only watch the replays over and over if I am playing some utter cunt. If they are giving it some mighty mouth and being abusive the best way to silence them is to score and rub there noses in it. I just keep saying Goal.

N.B. I must come across as a right PES bastard but I only play up when the opponent does first.

 

[Barry]

If it's a great goal I will watch it, although faster than I'd watch them when I score 'em in singleplayer. Only if the other guy watches all the celebrations and all the replays I will retaliate appropriately.

Bought Bioshock yesterday, it is awesome. So much atmosphere.

 

[Charlie]

Green; I would usualy just skip through my goals untill full time, but I always come across some fucker who shows every second of his replay and celebration. So that leaves the door open for me to show my goal repeatedly whilst I zoom in and out of all the players faces - They hate that.

Yeah as I say I only do it after it has been done to me. I am trying to state I am not some total PES bastardo.

 

[Hunter]

I just wouldn't really bother stooping to their levels, it's only wasting both participants time.

 

[The Stig]

Really that feature should be took away.

 

[Lörd TH]

i was on ign just a minute ago and they had assassins creed for a release of the 7th of september

 

[The Stig]

I think that's wrong mate cause it says 16/11/2007 on play.com plus if it was out in 3 days we probably would of had a demo or something by now.

 

[Lörd TH]

obviously hey were did you get that signature from i've seen similar ones around

 

[The Stig]
