@Hailinel: Then put in a declamation in the beginning of the game: "This game is meant to be enjoyed in isolation etc". Why would they force it on people? It a choice, but it's a bad one. There still isn't a argument, put forward, to convince anyone otherwise.

The experience of ice cream should be enjoyed with vanilla and nothing else. It's a choice. No difference

High fantasy is great for maintaining mysticism. Crazy stuff can go down and the GM can pretty much do as he want to, without having to explain anyhing (magic right!?) and it doesn't break immersion (when done right). But other then that I also prefer either cyberpunk, contemporary or Cthulu setting.

What sort of programs do you use for online sessions? Skype or other voicechat is a given, but do you have any dice roll software? Anything for sharing pictures or drawings of terrain and buildings etc?

@Hailinel: What you would like to enjoy could be achieved by choosing not to use the voice chat functions, the same way you could in any game. Thanks for supporting to force other people to play it like you like it. I think that chocolate icecream should be banned, because I enjoy vanilla more. Learn to enjoy it like that or eat a chocolate bar!

People voicing their opinion about how they would enjoy to play games, and what experiences they prefer shouldn't come as a surprise when you are on a videogame forum. If this is the case, maybe you should turn of your computer and enjoy the silence of your house a bit more.

Thanks for the clearup. I have Mage. Read a bit of changeling (don't own the book) but didn't know about Geist. Haven't really read any of the books for some years. because I haven't had anyone to play with. But the setting og WoD is very interesting, the system is very easy and streamlined to use and I think the gameplay method of having "scenes" is a great method of keeping the storytelling going, the party joined up and people from being more descriptive and participate in storytelling to a larger degree

@Hailinel: If that is how people like to play their games, why shouldn't they be able to? Please provide an argument for this. I have shown how your argument is faulty and if you have no argument, but is still defending this, then it's pretty clear that you are in denial.

@Hailinel: And you sound like you are in denial/defense mode. I am bitter and you are in denial, so maybe this isn't a bad thing?

What is insane, is the fact that people would defend this. Immersion isn't an argument (you can always choose to play without any chat), avoiding complaining isn't an argument (because you can always mute, and text still enables complaining and even if we disregard both, partychat doesn't involve complaining), parity might be an argument, but then Sony is guilty of the same thing that they have been accusing MS of being guilty for (holding the experience back) = You have no argument or at best a poor one.

I associate table top with board games and that sort, but pen and papir might be considered included in the category as well :)

Don't believe I have the main eight. I haven't got the one with people playing as ghosts, but I have WoD, Vampire, Werewolf, Changeling (magicians right?), armory (complementary to WoD), chicago and 2-3 story specific books (cant remember their names). But the WoD system seems really interesting to me.

@Hailinel: Sorry my man. The experience was targeted at the PS3, and therefor the xbox version has to suffer. You are right on, the experience is equal for both, but worse then it could have been for xbox. Such a shame ;)

Why not make eyetoy/kinect mandatory, and if more then one person is detected the game locks up. Having people around you breaks immersion. This should be enforced.

Table top? Don't you mean pen and paper?

I have all the core rulebooks from nWoD, but as a got them just before I moved to another city, I never found anyone to play with

@Hailinel: OMG Sony holding the gaming experience back!

People defending this are either:

1. Stupid

B. Sony fanboys

4. Arrogant pricks
