If by hackers you mean people who were naturally better at a game then you so you thought they must be “hacking” then yes.

It was originally supposed to be implemented in the game lobbies you ended up in; however, not a single game developer ever incorporated it (to my knowledge at least)

A friend and I were chilling at my house one night, stormy AF. It was like 1:30am and we were reading creepy shit online. We had left my Xbox on in the background on the dashboard there.

Never noped so hard in my life when we heard the distorted talking robot/alien voices. We fucking ran OUT of the house and went to his house for the rest of the night.

No it wasn't. XBox 360 was a joke console.

newer UI has more ad space

check out that sass,
check out the way they've written little insults and banter toward every type of gamer while still being all inclusive.

Xbox Live on the OG Xbox and Xbox 360 stuff pre-2009 was a lot of fun. In a lot of ways, it had the feeling of AOL back in the day; just a lot of weird people doing stupid shit. Hearing 10 years old call you a faggot and scream at their mom, Mexicans who would call you a puta and other dumb slang, black dudes getting bent for being called niggers and told to fuck off, women being told to fuck off and get back to the kitchen, etc. It was like Yea Forums on voice chat.

Yeah, it's a shame that now on the Xbox One, you hardly ever get hate mail now because everyone is so thin skinned that they'll report you at the slightest of insults. Its used to be nice hearing the voice behind the seething but actually forget that voice messaging is even a thing because no one even sends voice messages either.

The insults that you do receive are also so bland, in the rare instance you do.
>You are bad. Stop playing.
It's like this current generation of players decided it was just easier to stay in party chat with their friends and talk shit without worrying about a ban for saying some naughty words on their M rated game. Really is sad. I miss the days of loud lobbies filled with people fighting, kids trash talking, all that jazz. You could end making a lot of friends because people actually talked.

If this was your fucking childhood, you're a typical nugamer fuck who actually believes style-over-substance shitgames are good.

Don't worry sir, at least you got the spectacle of watching Sega crash and burn. That's a pleasure i can't say i'll get to experience.

I'm a britbong lad, Sega was king here. Nobody gave a shit about the NES because everyone had micro microcomputers that made the NES look dated. The Megadrive was the first console to turn heads over here and Sega was very popular for that reason. It's a damn shame the DC didn't do well.

Oh trust me mate, i'm not saying i like that Sega fell from grace. If they kept at it my Switch and PS4 wouldn't be here at all in favor of the would-be current Sega console.
It's just that i was born around the DC's Japanese release date and i can't even imagine what kind of media storm would result by one of the major console makers dropping the business. It's a situation with a cultural and economic impact so massive to the industry that i can't imagine being there to witness it.
