This is noticeably more common on the Xbox Live service. Why is that? We have come to the conclusion that there are two reasons why Xbox Live users are bigger %@#$!'s than PSN users.
It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.
With the ninth mainline installment looming, it feels like the right moment to rank every mainline Resident Evil game from worst to best.
At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.
I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.
The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.
The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.
Did we even need tests?
PSN has the illusion of being more mature because nobody has a headset.
yet another waste of space
The only reason it seems so bad on Live is because there are a lot more players with a mic. What's sad though is that from my experience, almost every single player I have played a game with on PSN that used a mic was a total moron. It's always either music in the background, constant background noise or other people talking, a 10 year old singing, or someone just being a typical douchebag.
If I were to go by what I've came across, I would say it's about 1 idiot out of every 3 people with a mic for Live, and 1 idiot out of every 2 for PSN. Take note that I do play MW2 on PS3 a lot, and also the BC2 demo, so that has something to do with it. I'm sure those games would be a heck of a lot worse on Live, since there are more players with mics there.
One thing that needs to be done is both consoles need a reporting system that actually works. The way reports are handled in RuneScape is the best I have ever seen and used. You just go to report, type their name, then select the category you're looking for, hit send, and bam, there you go. A report will be filed against them and staff members that are dedicated to just checking over those reports will have a look at it.
Now it wouldn't work exactly the same for a game like this because of the use of mics, but a similar system would still work wonders. People who get these reports against them could get a black-mark on their account, and it would stay with their account for good, or a set amount of time. After so many black marks they'll either be muted temporarily/permanently, or banned temporarily/permanently, depending on how many black marks they have total, and what the reports against them were about.
I really, really hope that when they next consoles come out they'll have a real and easy, yet effective, way to report players. It's something that is needed big time.
