I'll start this off by saying i'm not talking about an in-game chat sytem like WoW has.
What i'm asking is this: Do you enjoy using voice chat while playing a game? Do you have more fun when you're talking to your friends on mic instead of typing?
Personally, I hate voice chat. Obviously it helps alot with strategy in tough situations or in high-class PvP, but I find It just ruins the whole experience of the game. Recently I was on WoW and 4 of my friends went on voice chat and I thought it was actually quite annoying while I was questing. I like silence and enjoy just taking in the BG musici n the game and sort of "immersing" myself into it.
However, that doesn't mean I'm a role player. In fact, I hate role playing, but I like to in a sense remove myself from reality when I play games. That way I can leave my stress behind for a couple hours or so and enjoy life =P. However, when I hear a bunch of people I know talking, it sort of snaps me outta my trance (Weird, I know
).
So what do you think?
