Xfire or Steam?

Sorry I know I already posted this topic before, but I accidentally posted it in OT. :?

So for me it's xfire and add me if you want Razer192.

What about you guys?

What does Steam have to do with Xfire? o_0

One is a program that tracks games, on which you can add friends, servers (if the feature is available for that game), videos and screenshots and steam is a digital distribution platform that is use by some multiplayer games, it self updates your games, you can add friends , you can add servers in your list and it also tracks how much you played your games, but for just 2 weeks.

I use both, but I really don't see why anyone would use Steam if they have no games purchased on it.

I use both

Both man

ddempsey93 xfire

Shifty372 or 12.SS-PzGr.Huschke on steam

Both.My Xfire id is in my sig.Add me if u want a game of TF2, L4D or UT3.

I use both, but I voted for xfire. If I could play the games I downloaded from steam without using steam, that program would never see the light of day.

both, but for totally different reasons

I use both personally. Some of my friends use both or one or the other, so i like to have em both.

Both great programs imo!

I use both.

Steam.

whats so good about xfire? Doesnt steam do everything xfire does and more? The only reason I can see anyone using xfire is if they were using it pre-steam.

I would say this poll is semi irrelevant. I mean Steam and Xfire are not ment to compete with each other. Xfire is pureley for chating and counting play time in my eyes while steam offers games for download and different communities. Xfire is a great asset for non steam ran games but at the same time steam has a chat while in those games as well. Sorry I went on a rant. I use both

Xfire you can take and post screenshots and video footage, also people can watch you play live on xfire.

I use steam to buy games and chat/join friends in games, while i use xfire to keep track of ALL my playing time on games and also sharing screenshots/video footage with friends. Glad i have both tbh

I only use steam.

people can watch you play an offline game with xfire? Sounds cool. Or do you mean that you can record videos with xfire, cus I already use fraps for that.

I just use Steam.

I use both. They both have advantages and disadvantages.

Xfire is not mandatory, so you can play games with or without, but if you use Xfire it will give you some nice features like join on fly at games, see your playing historial, etc. On the other side, Steam is useless if the game is not vinculed to Steam and is mandatory if is based on this system. So, Xfire is better because you can play your games even if the Xfire servers are down, on the other hand, if Steam servers are out you usually can't play your Steam games.

As a download system, I prefer Battlenet and Blizzard Store because is not required to install any program to download Blizzard games, and Battlenet cnnection is only mandatory to online ladder matches -but you can play single player in Starcraft, Diablo or Starcraft games without conexion.

As for vids and screenshots, I use full FRAPS -it let you to take screenshots in different formats -bmp fore more quality, jpg to spent less size, etc.- and the recording options only cut your framerrate in 1/3 instaed 1/2 in Xfire.

For me Xfire is better than Steam, even taking in consideration that they fields of features are way different.

Also, Xfire provides VOIP, and in any sense is better than PS Network or Xbox Live systems.

Steam , of course

the layout is so helpful

Xfire to track my hours in-game, PlayXpert for chat, web-browsing, media playing, wikki browsing, etc.

I use both, but prefer to Xfire, I like to know how long I'm playing certain games, and Xfire is compatible with virtually 100% of my games.
