Well Gamespot partnered with Raptr and I'm wondering if any of you guys started using it? I don't like it as much as xfire but it has some neat functionality. Posts feeds to Facebook and tracks console games as well as PC (though that is only important at all if you game on both PC and consoles).


Xfire beats it in terms of all around functionality. Screenshot and video capture, voice chat (I don't know, does Raptr have voice chat?). And I imagine not as many users as xfire either.

Ive tried it a couple of times, prob will use it once in a while. But I still prefer just using Xfire. Xfire just feels cleaner and lighter to use, sure its due to me using it for so many years now vs raptr.

I'm already using Steam and Xfire so I see no need to add another one to the list. I don't even use Xfire much either.

I signed up to it, as I saw no reason not to. I don't use it, and decided to stick with Xfire.
My account is in the sig if anyone is interested in adding me, but I rarely check my profile...

I used to have it, but I think Xfire is better.

Raptr is great for it's IM feature, I was having a discussion about this with nutcrackr the other day, Raptr would be great if it had screenshots and video, once Xfire gets it's IM features right, Raptr is kinda doomed, there's no point at all in it.

I heard of Raptr, at this moment I have no need for it since I already use Xfire and Steam.

I'm going to stick with xfire for pc game tracking. Raptr is good if you play on consoles but it takes up to many resources.

I use it all the time, but only for the IM because you can import all your ims into one place (windows live has stopped working for some reason)

I find the IM a hell of alot better than Xfire's, and i really like its game tracking features, but it could be vastly improved what with ingame chat, screenshots and video capture and voice chat, but oh well.

I use it, but only because I play on consoles as well and its kind of nice to have everything synced in one place. That said, I can't really recommend it if you're a PC-only gamer. Xfire does everything and more, and it has a significantly lower memory usage (about half of what Raptr uses). I may stop using the client and just have Xfire track my games. It won't update my Raptr profile in realtime, but you can basically resync your Xfire account with it and it'll update your PC games that way.

I don't use my ps3 much and when I do I don't care about trophies. Xfire lets me do all my pc stuff with screenshots, videos

I've been using it for probably six months. I had Xfire, but I prefer the interface of Raptr, and I like tracking for multiple systems(even if I have to manually enter some times). I couldn't care less about screenshots or videos, so Raptr does more for me than Xfire ever did.

I agree. If I want screenshots or videos I click on Fraps. Xfire crashed a few games for me, messed up others, kept disconnecting, and has a pretty awful interface all around. Raptr's in much cleaner, the site provides more stats, I just like everything about Raptr more. Even the manual tool to add games is better.

I use it for console games really, Xfire is still way superior for PC.
