Comments on: GTA4 – Why can I play darts with someone that is fake but not someone real, when the focus of Xbox Live is to allow Social interactions between gamers, family and friends. This shows a critical failure of understanding by the developers and Microsoft in what our expectations are of them.

What if your friends moved away, people you did know and did want to interact with in a less gaming way and more ina drinking style social way? Most of us have spent hours in Party mode just messing around with people. What about family? You wouldn't want to get 10 family members together and go underwater scuba diving? Check out Space with Microsoft Worldwide Telescope Research Project...? Water ski... Sky drive in 1080P... Still I ask why not? But I bet you'll go down and spend tons of money and time at the bar with friends? What if those friends lived 500 miles away?

The exact same totall inept way of interacting with friends online, is exactly the same on the PS3 network. Ive owned an xbox live account now for many years back to the original xbox and never felt the need to sit down on games to play darts with some ppl ive never even met! If you feel you have that need, than i think you have deeper problems than your outlining here. this is nothing more than a dig at microsoft in general, I have to point out that it wasn’t microsoft that developed the game, it was rockstar.
