My 360 is always connected to Live and I have a Gold membership thru November with three years worth of cards left over from the Vision Pack TRU clearance. However, I *rarely* play online at all. First, I dont play FPS games. In fact, the only first person perspective game I have played on the 360 is Portal and that's been in just the past week! (I *may* try TF2 as long as I have The Orange Box rented)
My biggest problem with multiplayer games, besides that they are mostly first-person games, is that I'm a cheap ass gamer, which meanes I dont buy many games when they first come out. And in a lot of games, the learning curve is so steep that if you dont get in early, you're screwed. I really dont need some pre-pubecent teen, whose testicles have not yet fully decended telling me how I'm some sort of
ing
n00b. Thanks, I'll pass.
I've found that the most multiplayer that I've done has been on Pinball FX. Likely, when Feeding Frenzy comes out, I'll hop on Live and play others there. At least with those games, they are more "pick up and play" and I wont have to have memorized a complex map of weapon drops and spawn point to be competitive.
I would, however, like to play with some reasonable people once in a while, which is a big reason why I post on gaming boards. It just seems too often that the only game people are interested in (or that they post 'gaming nights' for) are FPS or sports games. So, I'll continue to wait till I find some things that interest me.
thanks for reading
