i dont live in a very big town but out of all my friends and such, i feel like the only one that plays my xbox 360 almost regularly. A lot of my friends do have Xbox 360 and live but they know half the games and when they come out, nor do they play it all that much. I haven't played an online match with them in ages. I feel pretty lonely and like the only person with an Xbox. Anyone else feel the same?
Most of my friends in real life have Xbox 360, but they don't play the same games as me. So our situations are not too different. To be honest, it doesn't bother me. I still find the XBL community to be great and I find many friends per week. I'd suggest you try another game if you aren't finding the community of your current title to be strong.
all my friends talk about is halo. i get sick of it. its like the only game they know how to play. Heck even some of the girls came over to our anual halo party and they played....

i have a lot of games and have HAD alot of games. currently i got the orange box, COD4, marvel ultimate alliance, mass effect, gtaIV, oblivion, nba 2k8, rock band and madden 08. I was (graduated this year) the ONLY good madden player in my school and i never had competition. I guarantee u that no one even knew waht the Orange Box is. Same with Mass Effect and Oblivion.

It's a good thing you didn't misspell that word any worse...
If you are going to college trust me you will meet a lot of gamers especially if you join a fraternity hell since all my buddies remain on the schools LAN we don't even have to play live to play together its a blast...
I sorta have the same problem only i joined a clan and i seem to play more with my clan mates more then my own friends but it doesnt matter because they all have moved on, i think one of the point of have xbl is to make friends with people from all over the world, so dont feel lonely you friend are just missing out

I have one friend with an Xbox 360. All the others are Playstation loyalists. That's my fault because I'm the person who introduced them to Sony. At any rate, yeah it sucks because I can't play with them but after playing the BF:BC demo, I didn't really miss 'em. Keep ya head up. You'll make new gamer friends in no time.

i do have like one friend that i played with a lot until recently, he has basically quit all together, although he's still paying for xbox live and new games every once in a while, i dont see him anymore. its kinda gay
it seems like all the freshmen this year play two games: Halo 3 and Guitar Hero 3. I never liked GH3, and got sick of Halo a few months ago. There aren't too many kids in my grade that speak publicly about gaming, so I'll never truly know how many folks play the 360. Most of my friends don't play video games at all.
Well you got the Orange Box the TF2 community there is top notch I've had mroe fun in a single TF2 slirmish then my whole career of playing Halo 3, COD4, Rainbow Six Vegas, and Gears of War.
I'm the only one of my actual friends that has a 360, but a couple of them come over all the time to play. i know a lot of people at school who i play with on live too. more people around here have wii really.

LOL Im in the exact same circumstance, I tell them that there are many better games but they just keep playin halo, and I think halo sucked donkey doo (my apologies for the crude language). Another friend of mine is a total ninty fanboy, and whenever we play xbox he always pokes and complains about the games on the system.
well no not really... alot of my friends used to play but now moved on with their lives lol.
But I dont feel lonely really their are millions of people with xbox's that play online so its still fun

Agreed....gaming is fun but some people have bigger and better things to be focused on. But just as Akm4ever said..there are millions of other people online to game with.:)
Although alot of my friends play Xbox Live, I was the first one that had 360 in my school and I got alot of friends all over the country and I wasnt bored at all. Just try and find a game that you are good at and get some guys that play with you and befriend those guys.

Sorry dude, but youre all alone. Your post simply sounds like you should pay more attention to your real social life. Gaming online is an excellent crutch, plus the fact your post screams teen angst. Here is a little bit of helpful advice. Gaming is a hobby, and not a bad hobby. Ask a chic or your friends in a group to go bowling, eating, movie, just ride around, phone number, fishing, sex, wrestling, watch tv, a walk 'n' talk, camping, swimming, rock climbing, arcade, work-out, bike riding, etc,etc, etc. Do this and your stiff wrist, and huge fore-arm will clear right up.
The year that the 360 came out, it felt like it was only me and my friend that was on. Now there are more people in my area because they recently bought a 360.

so you think from my post, that all i do is play Xbox? You're wrong, but I am not going to blame you. All I was saying is that I probably am little more of a gamer than my friends. And when I say that I am a lone gamer, it also means I don't play it all that much because there really isn't anyone I know that wants to play online with me. I am an athlete, I have a job, and I hanging with my friends a lot outside my house and school. I play games mostly at night anyway. Dont have a girlfriend yet but it'll come.
Quite a few of my friends have 360s, actually a lot of them do. I'm in the same boat as you my friend. They buy games and don't even play them. Well they do, but say for the first couple weeks, then almost never again. Sometimes I wonder why they even own a console and buy games? It seems like a waste of money to me but whatever. However I have one or two friends that do play "somewhat" regularly and that's fun. Mostly I find myself just playing by myself with others which isn't near as fun.

Don't be down hearted man. Trust me, if youre not afraid to talk and smile you'll end up with more friends than you can keep up with(or maybe even want). As far as Live, if you talk and have fun with the people you play with, you will fill up your friends list alot easier than you might think. The same goes with women out in the "real world", if your not afraid to smile and talk, you'll find what youre looking for alot easier than you once thought. Just be yourself and smile while youre doing it, everything else is just an afterthought.;)
