I prefer voice for friends and text for strangers.
Do you prefer voice chat or text chat in games?

Text chat, can't stand my voice hehe
Same. I hate my voice
I'm too self conscious to voice chat... Although I used to when I played mmorpgs but I still only talked when I absolutely had to lol. I wouldn't do it for chill games like animal crossing or just for fun on discord. I like chatting a lot better for those.

i use voice chat a lot because my friends like to, like so when we play overwatch we would switch over to team chat so we can talk with them. but, i have a really weird voice (mega high pitched, sweet tone) so i always get creepy comments of people. sometimes people are nice which is okay but mostly i feel uncomfortable in team chat lol, would much rather stay in group ~

Voice chat is better for me cause I can't see myself easily playing a game and trying to read a lot of text at the same time.
I've never done a voice chat with strangers but I imagine they would probably be weirded out by my quirkiness xD

A bit of both. When Animal Crossing City Folk came out, I mostly used voice chat. Texting is too much effort.
I’m a little 50/50 on this,
Before I used to use voicechat all the time while playing multiplayer horror games, and it was HILARIOUS to see people’s live reaction at the most scary scenes. We would all be laughing, and it was really fun. It would be way different than texting, because while I couldn’t use voicechat and was forced to text, I feel that I couldn’t make the most of peoples’ reactions. Mostly, at a scary scene people would text “omg that’s scary” but in voicechat, they’d be screaming their head off and we’d all be cracking up. I’m not really self conscious of my voice, and so far nobody has commented on how my voice sounds so that’s why I’m not.
I also like texting though, as it prevents awkwardness from happening in the voice chat. When texting, you can also be confident with what you’re saying and you can take your time to write what you want to and express yourself. It’s a hard decision imo.

Agreed!
I'll only voice chat if it's with my friends. I used to voice chat with my guild when I played MMOs and it led to some really distasteful encounters with weird dudes. No thanks.
I will say though, for difficult content in games that requires a lot of co-ordination, then I do think voice chat is definitely advantageous. Typing can really screw you over.
