Not really proper text chat.

Wow, a lot of things I want to say.
lol. I still want voice chat.[/quote]
I disagree, in Halo 3's ranked games and in CoD4, you cannot hear your opponents except during the pre and post game lobbies. The principal use should be strategizing or socializing.
As I said, it's not. I know it's safe to say I have logged more hours in online multiplayer in the past two and a half years than anyone else here, and the point of voice chat is not to let off anger, and it shouldn't be.
I'd also like to point out to you that in many popular, online, non-*CEN-2.1-SORD* games games not made by Nintendo, the single player is much different than the online play. Granted it may have the same engine, but the goals are much different.
I can assure you 100% that the only people who "train" to play online games either do it for fun or are pro players. Enjoying online competition is not something that you practice for.
Also, I never heard about no pay-to-play service from Nintendo? ]
@Bul: Then it's not my fault they suck at multiplayer, get owned, and get trash talked. I'm just saying it can be easily avoided if you stick to single player until you're good enough for multiplayer. You can't complain if you go to multiplayer and suck. (However, in some games like MSC it's hard to train in single player because the AI is too easy or way too hard, but after 2 days if you train in multiplayer you'll be fine, well at least I was).[/quote]
That's it, you're done. I don't know where you seem to have acquired all this knowledge about online play, or become so opinionated about people who have spent less time playing a game, but you really should quit while you're ahead.
Also, you're too short to be an *CEN-1.3-SORD* online.
Nintendo's online play is somehow becoming less advanced than it was in 2006.TheGremp said:
The point is that it severely limits the amount of interaction between players, the way I see it, there is hardly any difference between playing an AI opponent and an anonymous opponent who you can only talk with on a basic level. Only difference is that you may know the person, but you aren't really interacting with them too much outside the gameplay, and that is one of the main things that has made XBL and online console play so popular.Storm said:
No... Nintendo is right, they wouldn't. However, there always should be a mute option or something similar.Super_Narutard said:
Good luck with that plan.Koehler said:

Yeah that's the point. You're supposed to trash talk, it adds so much to the game. Also if you suck and you're a noob shouldn't you be playing single player? Once you become decent at the game then try multiplayer.[/quote]Super Narutard said:

You don't realize that regular people don't have time to "train". You're talking about gamers that can actually devote some time to doing that.[/quote]Bulerias said:

Well, I don't think Nintendo would ever rely on parents to take responsibility for/attempt to protect their children. I think they would most likely put out parental controls, which is something every console with online play tries to do. Unfortunately some parents are either clueless about how to use them, or simply don't care. I think protecting younger players from the pretty bad stuff that can be said should be a top priority for Nintendo and for other online console play providers.Storm said:

Mute trash talkers? Trash talkers are the only people who talk so if you would mute trash talkers there's no point in voice.DSCUBER9000 said:

Never argued that.
What I'm saying is that... well... let's look at an example situation.
We've got a complete gaming beginner who wants to try out Brawl online. For a moment, let's assume Brawl's got voice chat with strangers. The gaming beginner lands a trash talking pro as the opponent, and we all know how that scenario pans out.
Of course, as I said, this issue could be solved with a simple "mute" button, but I digress...
Oh yeah, Mino, here's a link to the Pay & Play thing... I assure you it's 100% real.

The only difference is that an AI opponent doesn't d/c.Mino said:
All I have is your word, how can I know that?Bulerias said:
Edit - What I meant was, I'd rather have a link to an accredited website, like this:

True, but most opponents don't disconnect on XBL because it will either count as a loss for them, or in the case of Halo 3, give them -1 EXP as opposed to 0 EXP if they lose the game without leaving.DarthGohan1 said:
Disconnection is not a problem, but games like MP:H's lack of punishment (that connection percentage was useless) made it one.

Uhh, even Mario Kart could match you based on skill level (albeit it didn't work well.) I'm confident, however, that a ranking system would solve the problem of mismatched players.
Also, people don't "trash talk" as much as SN says or you think.
