Anyone else enjoy party chatting while playing?
Nope. I don't play single player games to "chat" with other people. (Heck, I don't chat much at all.)
And if you're talking voice chat..... bah. Got no mic, don't see a reason to get one, and am not a fan of hearing random people blab in games that do have it (like ME3 multiplayer. If I end up in a random group where people are babbling while waiting in the lobby, I leave to find another group.)
...actually, thinking about it, I don't have anyone in my Steam friends list. Very few of my IRL friends do PC gaming.
