Oh yea xfire was the software to have. I streamed myself doing full playthrough of bioshock and remember even getting quite a few viewers. Good times.

    Hah, I had a promotional mix tape album from them - there was some good shit on there actually. Sneaker Pimps, The Crystal Method, etc.

    MDKAOD,

    I have footsoldier dogtags still. 10six was my jam. Still alive via project visitor.

    ChronosWing,

    Unfortunate project visitor is pretty dead last I checked. 10six is impossible without having a very active clan, your bases get decimated the moment you go offline.

    Same on the dogtags. Never got into 10six; I was more of an FPS gamer at the time. Lots of Duke Nukem 3D. Lots of shareware Quake.

    XaeroDegreaz,

    Nice, I didn’t have tags, but I got the shirt. I really only played Quake 2 and Unreal Tournament

    JackLSauce,

    WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

    This was the best way to game with and chat with friends. I miss those days.

    A blast from the past. Totally forgot about it existing until this post.

    Wow this brought back memories of making bank in clan COD tourneys(=USA=). It was too easy back then, now gamers practice 6 hours a day.

    Xfire had such a good system for overlay. and just so many good features. It was better 10 years ago than Discord is today.

    ArmoredCavalry,
    @ArmoredCavalry@lemmy.world avatar

    It was definitely ahead of its time! Not really sure why it faded away, I guess pressure from Steam (pun intended), and games moving to private in-game server browsers? Along with many other options for voice chat.

    CryptidBestiary,

    Why do you think it was better than Discord today? Didn’t get to experience Xfire so genuinely curious about it’s user experience.

    Sterile_Technique,
    @Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

    It was very feature-rich. Literally everything discord offeres, but better implemented, and every feature was customizable - the in-game overlay being the one I remember most fondly. In addition to a VOIP indicator like discord has, it had a text-chat overlay too that my guild used a lot. We were spread out over multiple games, but we all had one unified in-game guild chat thanks to Xfire. You could resize and reposition everything in the overlay, and could set a keybind to toggle whether your mouse and such could interact with the chat windows or just click through it to interact with the game. It was clean as fuck.

    VOIP quality was outstanding. UI in general was customizable and also clean as fuck.

    It had a built in screen recorder.

    Everything was intuitive to use and easy to use.

    It was just really, REALLY high quality all around.

    Hope it makes a comeback.

    tuoret,

    What wasn’t feature-rich was the chat, just plain text, no emoticons or rich text or anything. Absolutely loved it.

    Sterile_Technique,
    @Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

    It did a really good job of putting the stuff you actually want on screen, while staying the hell out of the game’s way!

    yukichigai,
    @yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

    Agreed. Cutesy emotes are great when you aren't trying to concentrate on multiple other things at the same time. When I'm mid-game the only chat I read needs to be static and non-moving.

    regalia,

    It wasn’t. Nostalgia is hell of a drug

    PixelOfLife, do games w Anyone remember Xfire?

    Oh, I remember. Some of the games I played a lot would just crash if I had Xfire running in the background.

    Man I’d forgotten about this.

    This and vent were the first things I loaded when gaming (along with frapps).

    Didn’t they have custom skins because I remember messing around with that and rocking some cool skins…?

    This brought back so many memories. Late night DarkOrbit, CS…

    The gametime stats in Xfire were my first clue that I maybe needed to get off the PC once in a while and, as the kids say these days, touch grass.

    Was still kinda proud of myself though. Albeit a sort of shameful pride.

    This came up in convo with a co-worker recently. I had completely forgotten about it until he mentioned it and then, suddenly, a flood of memories came rushing back.
