Although I love being able to talk in party chat it does make certain games a complete cheatfest.
Gears of War 2 for example. In game chat you can talk to your teammates until you die where you can only talk to other dead players (either team). Once dead you can follow any friendly player or move to several predetermined camera points on a map. and friendly or enemy players have their names above their heads making them handily easy to spot.
Now with Party chat when players die they just become spotters for their team calling out enemy locations
In Chrome Hounds team chat was also a huge mechanic in the game which is now totally ignored.
Also no-one is ever in game chat anymore so making friends in a game is virtually impossible.
