Listening to fifteen year olds call you a "fag" after wiping the floor with them usually isn't too entertaining.

Its not the butt kicking thats the problem, its the attitude associated with it, and the fact that most console gamers are generally teenagers and young adults (or veteran old timers, in contrast).

The kids aint the biggest problem. It's the "dumbing down" that happens with crossplatforms.

exactly my point,

i like COMPLEX mmorpgs. And sorry to say so but any mmorpg that will run on a console can NOT be complex. -- I still hope for a SWG 2.

yeah i know i am dreaming.

ohh and before i forget, console lovers - start flaming me please - i am fireproof

I've heard people say the exact same things on PC online games. I don't really see one as "more mature" than the other. I do agree with Darth Pete though that a tone down of accessability and functionality would possibly be present for PC users in a console/PC title.
