Hey everyone, this is my first post to the discussion board even though I've been an Xbox gamer for many years with different accounts. I'm posting today to ask two things. First is, does everyone agree that over the past few years it has been extremely
hard to meet new people to play with? I've only got one person on my friends list that I play with quite a bit and I've known him my whole life. I don't even have many friends on Xbox at all. Which leads to my second question. Is there anyone out there in
the Xbox live world looking for another member in their clan/group. I want to experience more teamwork and cooperative style of gaming like it used to be. Thank you guys and post your opinions, questions, comments, and concerns.

:)

Clans and groups form here all the time. They have regular Forza sessions pre-planned. You're in the right place if that's the sort of gaming you're into.

typicalnipple16 · Aug 22, 2014

Yeah absolutely. I just wanna game with some people instead of playing multiplayer titanfall and not talking at all. It makes it boring.

Pick me! Pick me! My clan used to have 80+ members and now has... 3 (please don't ask). So... We are actively recruiting! Even if you're not interested in joining, I've made numerous friends playing games online over the years and will happily give you pointers
this weekend on how you can do just that.

typicalnipple16 · Aug 22, 2014

Yeah I'll play with you guys. I seriously don't even care how big the clan is I just want to play with somebody haha sounds pretty bad. Friend me and we will talk through messages and we can play some games man.

Ive made a few friends over the years on Xbox. Ive got alot of forum regulars on my list, some of whom I met through other forum regulars. Posting here on a regular basis can gain you friends easily. Posting on game forums like Halo, or COD will get you
some too.

But no, you cant join my clan. We dont offer dental insurance so its not that great

What no dental! You sir now only have 24hours2live.

Listed mia 510 · Aug 22, 2014

Feel free to add me. I also play mostly with regulars from this forum. Not as often and I am not as popular. But I am friendly and accepting of all types of gamers.

My thoughts on your OP is... I agree. IMO there was a lot more people talking about back in the day. It was easier to jump in a game and meet some random people and become friends.

And now that I think about it most of the people I meet now are friends of friends.

I met a couple cool people while I was streaming on my twitch stream. Started off MSG back and fourth about the game. Now we party up almost everyday.

Good luck and See You Out There.

You can add me too if you like. I meet most of my friends through the clan I ran. the rest thought games.

Galactic Geek · Aug 22, 2014

I can personally vouch for ZTrooper and Listed.

If you have an active mic in a public lobby, say hi is anyone talking when you join and are generally a nice guy, you won't have problem meeting people on the XBox one IMO.

I do appriciate it can be hard finding the right people to play with.

I am not big on clans personally unless theres a reason for it, but happy to play, chat and etc.

Slap You In HD · Aug 22, 2014

You can add me, I remember back in the day when you could play any game and chat with people. I used to have a good bunch of people who I gamed with but now most of them have transitioned over to the PC and now with party chat most game lobbies are dead

Galactic Geek · Oct 31, 2018

Got your message, Slap.

I had the opportunity to play Titanfall with Drake for a while last night - all around, he seems like a pretty cool dude.

[quote user="ContentedEntree"]Can I jump around like I did in Assassins Creed while fully using the Kinect 2.0? Can I play Battlefield 4 and accurately shoot people and fly a helicopter while fully using the Kinect 2.0? Can I slash my sword and dodge
in games like Dark Souls, The Witcher 2 and Skyrim while fully using the Kinect 2.0? You say I can't? Well then, I will expect more of the same then.[/quote]Someone lacks understanding of Additional Inputs and "replacements".

I 100% agree that it's all about opinions, the way I look at it though how can we have a proper opinion untill we have tried it? ..

We can't. But we also need to be carefull. The thing is. MS choose the more profitable way out rather then a risky one but which would bring more in a long run. Lets say no backtracking was made. Ps4 would originally sell more consoles thats true,a lot more
consoles. But lets say that original x1 and K2 delivered everything promised. Great gaming expirience,10friends share as we believed it to be and all other neat stuff we can think off.

The people who bought x1 would be happily anouncing x1 perfection to the world. This in turn would have brought atention of thouse who have yet to buy anything and later thouse who got ps4.

MS might have been a loser on preorders but in the long term they would have been able to sell more consoles over the generation and bring about their vision of gaming to be a norm.

-

This antire thing is the reason I lost respect for MS and am not willing to trust their words that easily until they were tested. Since they refused to take a hit on what they believed in and risk smaller preorder when compared to long term sales. They themselves
don't believe in their product. So how can I believe in it then?

I got to agree with what people are saying ..... "Some just don't like/are afraid of change" ... kind of funny as alot of the same people constantly complain about gaming today ... "Nothing is changing" etc ..

Pity that some people wasn't at least willing to give things a try, or at the very least sit back and wait for others to try it and see what people were saying then instead of all the "guess" work we see day in day out.

I still intend to buy an XB1 but I have to say, I'm alot less optimistic for the next generation than I once was.

[/quote]

It's funny. Cause that what is happening. With kinect being optional some people can try it out for the others. Actualy kinect isn't even inovation anymore. It only gets a second chance to wow us.

No need to force everyone everyone into a change that lead to the brick wall in front of them.

[/quote]

Now please don't think I'm having a go but I don't get when people say things like ... "No need to force anyone" .. no-one is being forced either way, like something, buy it, don't like it, don't!...

I'm going out for dinner with the wife at the weekend, if I see something on the menu I don't like the look of, I know I won't be buying it.

As for the Kinect and chances, I'll still be giving it a chance and I won't be judging it either way untill I've actually got to try it for myself.

[/quote]

Yes. But how many options in the menu do you have? Not just two I guess.

-

Good for you. But others are not as forgiving and not as trusting. Kinect was given a chance once. It was sold so well yet it seems for most people it offered nothing or not enough of what was promissed.

And now MS is doing the same thing again. Your choice is to trust it now, mine is to wait and see if it can be trusted. It's just our opinions

We have tried it though, on the Xbox 360... Microsoft say that the Kinect 2.0 is more advanced, but what more can it really do that the first Kinect could not do? The Kinect 2.0 does exactly what the first Kinect did, but in a more advanced way. More advanced,
but still the same thing.

.

See the first Kinect as a prototype, we tried it and it failed. Even if you polish a poo, it is still a poo... That is what the Kinect 2.0 is, a polished poo.

I will never foget the day I walked into Best Buy and a girl tried to sell me a 3D TV and I told her that it was doomed to fail as it was a gimmick that comes around every other decade and people just bought a HDTV. She tried so hard to say I was wrong,
wish she still worked there.
