People who send you game invites when you're playing another game

[TacticalFox88]

What the hell is up with this shit? I was playing Uncharted 3, and yet I constantly got match invites from people playing Black Ops. What the fuck? You expect me to get up, change discs, and put in another game because you invited me? What the hell? You see what game I'm playing so why would you invite me when I'm not even PLAYING THE GAME!?

Sorry, but this infuriates me to no end. Anyone else have this happen to you?

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Chill out bro

 

[xclaw]

Must suck to have friends.

according to one of my friends in PSN, it's just so damn easy to invite in Blops that sometimes he even invites by mistake

 

[masterkajo]

I always appear offline when I don't want to play with other people (eg awesome single player experience). On Xbox or steam it is really easy to do so. Don't know on PS3.

 

[Roto13]

Nobody ever invites me to play anything unless we've already agreed to play.

 

[Complistic]

Can you not turn off notifications?

 

[Drkirby]

As long as they aren't spamming them, I don't mind them, but I am thinking in the context of steam, where most of the time I can simply talk to them a bit. "Hey kirby, play some Sanctum with us", "Ok, give me about 5 minutes to finish up this level", ect ect.

 

[iconoclast]

Yeah, sometimes one of my friends will invite me to Gears 3 or Call of Duty or whatever. I don't even have those games, so I just ignore it.

[Correctomundo]

I only friend people who hate the games I like.

 

[Gravijah]

i like when i get invites on steam by people who haven't even bothered to talk to me.

 

[Emitan]

Boney keeps inviting me to play TF2 and have fun with him. Asshole.

But seriously, it's really annoying on Xbox Live. WHO AT EPIC THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO ADD A BUTTON THAT INVITES EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO PLAY GEARS 2? Why does that exist?

 

[ScrubJay]

Black Ops is literally pressing one button to invite.

He probably went through his FL and pressed triangle to everyone online.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

heaven forbid people want to spend time with you

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I feel the same way about cross game chat. Why the fuck would I want to listen to you talk when i'm playing RPG's or other story/atmospheric based games.

 

[Emitan]

I am an important man. There's a waiting list. Get in line, buster.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Yes it happens to me but I tend to ignore it and they don't send me invites anymore.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I wish I was that loved.

 

[BGBW]

First world problems.

 

[see5harp]

Certain people just spam invites to every friend online. You hit one button in Gears and invites go out to everyone online. I wouldn't send individual invites to people outside of the game though. I don't see the big issue either way. Don't accept the invite.

 

[Roto13]

Can you not turn off notifications?

To go off on a tangent, fuck this. I don't want to see people signing in and out every five seconds so I turned off notifications, but it turns off ALL notifications on PS3 and I might actually want to be notified when someone sends me a message, which happens far less often.

I hate that.

 

[kittens]

I don't mind it. I kind of like it, as long as people don't spam me with invites.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I usually get revenge by sending them pics of my wedding-tackle when they're playing something.

 

[neostapler]

Get off my lawn!

 

[The_Monk]

People sending me an Invite while playing another game, it's fine. People sending me 15 invites over and over it's irrational.

Edit: Thread needs more "old man yell at cloud.jpeg"

He's just letting everyone know that Gravijah is his Bottom Bitch.

 

[First Name]

No one ever wants to talk to me. I walk down the street and people throw themselves into traffic just to avoid having a conversation.

 

[RagnarokX]

I don't get why I get game invites from people I've never met before for games I've never played.

I laughed at this more then I should have....

That's the worst part. I don't want online notifications. I don't want game invites (usually). I don't want trophy/achievement notifications. I want message notifications and party chat invites.

[Subliminal]

Just hop into a quick cross game cha-- oh wait.

don't you worry, i spread my love.

 

[Emitan]

is boney above or below?

 

[louiedog]

Fake. No one would send an invite to someone this high strung.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I hate it when its a game that I dont have, though I guess no one checks their friend details enough to see if the one they are inviting has the game.

Some games have an "invite all friends" option which doesn't care if you have the game or not, I think that's what would be causing that.

 

[XenoRaven]

Well sor-ry for inconveniencing you, Scrooge.

 

[Amagon]

Why am I so popular? Why am I so cool? Dammit!!!

Disconnect from PSN/Appear Offline - Would have saved us a thread.

But then people can't message you.

 

[Snuggles]

The worst is when people try to invite you while you're watching Netflix. How rude.

 

[skyfinch]

I usually send them a message back saying, "You piece of shit mother ****er. Next time you send me an invite, I'll punch you and that son of yours in the face. Go ahead, send another one."

edit: damn, beaten

 

[Chauncy Talon]

Chill out bro

It bad on Playstation. I wish you can turn off the notification like you can on the 360 in the middle of a game.

 

[kai3345]

I don't think you know what the words "Game invite" mean.

 

[Ranger X]

One of those reasons why that I am not an "multiplayer online gamer I guess.
I never understood the appeal of cross game chat, would never want to use it. As for messages, when I am playing a game it's for a reason, don't invite me. It's useless. I also never answer in that case anyways.
