Your over reacting like the media isThis update is truly awful. I don’t think I can just create a party by myself anymorE. I always have to invite somebody. That’s pretty much my biggest gripe.
Your over reacting like the media is
You'll happily screech into a microphone that you'll kill someone or track them down but now there's a chance you'll be recorded saying it and its all of a sudden a violation of privacy?
Or have I got it wrong?
Off topic:
Why do people post a screenshot of a tweet and then the actual tweet in a spoiler?
No, I think this is more to do with how parties are set up and joined. It's all tied into group messaging now and you can no longer just create a Public/Private party and join as normal.
I very much doubt it's the chat record function, just issues with party making.I thought Neogaf gave their stamp of approval, what is the problem?
I understand your concern and I am all for removing toxicity from online communication. However, the problem with voice chat being recorded is deeper than this. Who decides what words/ phrases will result in a ban? Sony? If it does then will it supply us with a list of words/ phrases that will result in a ban? In addition, what is offensive in one culture may not be considered so in another, so how will the moderation work exactly? Also, since the moderators will be acting just like a common-law system judge, should the playerbase/ general public be entitled to see their resume/ employment history/ property holdings etc.? So, I think we should not willy-nilly accept whatever Sony imposes on us, I respect the people who are concerned about this and want to discuss it.You'll happily screech into a microphone that you'll kill someone or track them down but now there's a chance you'll be recorded saying it and its all of a sudden a violation of privacy?

There wouldn't be outright bans unless it was for something very serious (grooming etc. one would suspect), there'd be warnings beforehand I'd assume.I understand your concern and I am all for removing toxicity from online communication.

As far as I know MS investigate all complaints and issue comms bans if there's anything untoward. Chalk up a few of those and they'll hit you with a permanent account ban and you'll lose access to any digital games unless you have them already downloaded.There wouldn't be outright bans unless it was for something very serious (grooming etc. one would suspect), there'd be warnings beforehand I'd assume.
Plus I get the feeling there'd have to be multiple complaints for them to seriously investigate, same as with the MS policy.
But why do you want to be in a party on your own?This update is truly awful. I don’t think I can just create a party by myself anymorE. I always have to invite somebody. That’s pretty much my biggest gripe.

Aye, I'd guess. But I suppose that if you've had multiple warnings about your behaviour and still act on like a tit on a private platform then it's probably not the platform-holder's fault that you get banned.As far as I know MS investigate all complaints and issue comms bans if there's anything untoward.

Some games, like paladins for instance, force you into game chat unless you're already in a party.Why would you create a party alone? Serious question.

Cards on the table - I have no issue with Sony allowing their players to send obscene audio chat to them for moderation, and I don't have an issue with MS doing the same.
They listened to the people? They didn't listen to the people, the people were containing a lot and they didn't care. There were even gaming "journalists" telling us to shut up because microsoft wouldn't back down. They didn't listen, they reacted to Sony not doing the same bs.Too late Sony. If the internet and especially GAF told me on thing, it's that mistakes cannot be corrected. After 7 years people are still hating on always on and DRM restrictions even though they listened to the people and changed it before release.

There's a difference?
Hope you're not serious.
Gaf Definition.There's a difference?
Party hard.
I'm not

Not really, it depends if it's against their T&Cs. You get it on FB and Twitter too.Until someone records you and sends it to Sony. Whats can be seen as offensive is 100% subjective.
People like you scare me.
1) Image in case the Tweet is deleted
2) Link to the Tweet in case people don't believe it is real
This is imho superior to the old party system. I always imagined a new system that‘s more like iMessage group chats, combining text and voice chat via voice calls inside a group.No, I think this is more to do with how parties are set up and joined. It's all tied into group messaging now and you can no longer just create a Public/Private party and join as normal.
