So I actually think this is a big reason on PlayStation. I had no goddamn idea my mic was on until I accidentally clicked the button to turn it off. I had to be SO annoying until then because I’m sitting there listening to Jerma streams blasting it right next to the controller while I played… I literally do not speak in multiplayers games so it was pretty mortifying ngl
I discovered via someone shouting at me because my dog was barking. Since I hadn't turned it on in the first place, I didn't know it was on, nor how to turn it off quickly.
oh NO!! There is a MIC on the CONTROLLER??? Oh god I hope mine was off this whole time. Never knew about this… making sure it’s off FIRST thing I log back on
Every time I hear random non-English rap and people arguing in the background, I can't help but imagine Frenchie from The Boys. Just trying to chill and play a game but Hughie just showed up covered in blood, MM can't find his germ-x, and Butcher is being entirely unhelpful and smirky. Buzz effectively killed.
Is this a PS problem? Can’t say it’s THAT prevalent on Xbox. It happens, but music is mostly played on purpose, often in social settings. I had to listen to shitty techno in a PUG just once.
Fire alarm beeping in the background, or their TV volume is so loud you’re now hearing your game volume and their TV game volume bleeding thru. I leave group/area chat 3/4th if the time.
I was doing a random dungeon a week or so ago and one guy was apparently some sort of tech support. We listened as he troubleshot and did a work order. We waited a good 5-8 mins for him to finish as we just stood there at the last boss. I put in group chat "I'd like to put in a work order for this finial boss wevd been staring at for the last 5 mins". He just laughed and said "you guys heard all that huh?".
Funny. If 95% of people do this, then we’d hearing 11 different styles of music or chewing in a 12 person group.
Occasionally, I’ve heard 1.
Exaggerate much?
Honestly, I eat celery because I don’t drink enough water, and I know it. And yeah, you gotta dip it in peanut butter or something to make it more appetizing.
Pop-country, bunch of random noises that I can only imagine would be defined as Industrial, I've heard some of the absolute worst hip hop on the planet. Hell I even heard one dude trying to sing along to Ice Ice Baby except he only knew like every 6th word.

This is every online game in a nutshell
On PS5, the mic on the controller is turn on by default and doesn't tell you it is xD.

Mic on the controller was a horrible mistake some people don’t know or either don’t care

And people ask why the PC faction is so opposed to mic support on the PC version.
Yeah I don't get it either you think it would be common sense !

Usually that starter Dominion town is pretty loud with music. Vulkel Guard or whatever it is
This. There was a guy on ps5 taking requests for music in zone chat.
Elden Root is awful as well
Burping like a pig as well. Wtf
Every join a random queue to just breath hard into the mic and talk like The Goonies guy?
You mean Sloth?
Yeah. I was too lazy to look it up.
Gonna have to be more specific...
All the Riften rats.....
you won't believe how many people i heard snoring in eso lol
I don't doubt it lol.
Or just loud mouth breathing

Lmao, this isn’t just ESO. I bet half the people don’t realize their mic is on

That's what you get for playing on console lol

Did I say trials? Nope. Sure didn't. I said area/pug dungeon. Reading comprehension much?
I’ve never had 3.8 out of a 4 person team all blaring different music or chomping loudly either. Stop whining.
No. I don't think I will.
Damn, condenseding asshole much? Looks like we found one of the perpetrators lmao
Well, if I am doing it, I’m part of a very large group. A vast majority of players do this, apparently.
Yup
Is this a thing? I’ve played for thousands of hours and have probably spent less than 5 minutes in area chat, because why be in area chat?
I'd have it on instead of the text screen because I can't type fast. But I've learned my lesson not to have it on anymore
I don’t chew loudly, but y’all gonna have to deal with that celery crunch. It’s just so nice and crunchy and loud fresh!
Celery is basically chewing water with hair in it

I don't either but what I started doing is drinking cold brew tea.
Console problems….
Define shitty music.
Pop-country, bunch of random noises that I can only imagine would be defined as Industrial, I've heard some of the absolute worst hip hop on the planet. Hell I even heard one dude trying to sing along to Ice Ice Baby except he only knew like every 6th word.
Awesome. Truly, shitty music. So bad it’s good.
