Why doesn't anybody use VC?

I'm level 25 and not a single person has talked in voice or responded to me in any way when I talk. It's an online game and everybody seems to just want to play like robots.

Most people just uses Discord as they got their friends there already.

I get more than enough social interaction irl so when I'm playing a game I prefer to do it without random chatter in my ears.

Voice chat can be a mixed bag. If I was playing with friends, I would probably already be talking with them using discord or something. If I met some decent people in game, I might feel comfortable turning on my mic and using it.

But then you run into people who just have their mic open all the time, and have to deal with whatever noise they happen to have going on.

I've had a few moments where it really would have come in handy. Such as trying to direct the team to kill a certain dino to finish a cull or warning about an enemy flanking during PvP.

discord killed fun in online games

No, it didn't.
Before Discord we'd just be in a Teamspeak (or app of choice) server.

Voice chat has only ever been used rarely in games. Mostly because it is generally not needed. Unless you're playing some high-level tactical game, the most that is needed is a ping button and maybe a "Need ammo/healing" macro.

Does the console OS are so bad on mic manage?

from my experience, every cross platform games, those console players always turn on the Voice Chat and crunching chips, dog barking, baby crying, smashing the button rapidly, listening music, echo the game audio,

Some people don't even know they have a mic on. PS5 controllers have built-in microphone and it is ON by default. Even on PC, plug the controller and mic is on.

At least on Xbox, people with mics are the ones who play with a headset, so at least there's a chance they actually want to communicate.

When you hear dogs barking, kids crying, parents fighting or an echo from their own game, it's 100% a playstation user.

My first experience was a kid crying and a woman yelling in the background. I'm good. Plus I usually play with people I know and use discord.

I only use voice chat with people I approve of. Common mortals are not worthy to hear the voice of a god such as my own.

Just kidding, sort of. I only use it with people I know. The other reason I turned off voice chat for Exoprimal is that there is always that random twit that decides to leave their mic on and blast terrible music non-stop.
