Tips and Tricks: Finding And Making New Friends On Raptr

Let’s face it, not all of us are as popular as Claire Bear x3. So here are my tips and tricks to finding friends with similar tastes on Raptr.

Game Pages:
These are gold mines for friends and people to play with for a certain game. First place I like to look is the reviews. If someone spent the time to write a long, insightful review, they probably have played the game for a while.

Next place to look is the players. There is the entire list of people who have played the game. You can just adding friends randomly, or you can look at each person and see if they match using our compatibility engine.

Discover Players:
Here you can find more general game lovers. If you take a look at the “Top Reviewers” module you can meet some people with passion for video games. It really takes something to review 20+ games.

Dashboard:
The everyone feed is good for many reasons. I personally like to see what games are being played, but another function is to see who is playing those games. See somebody playing a game that you like to play? Add them!

Twitter:
I’m a big fan of Twitter (Hit me up @Boxhead!). If you’re looking for someone on Raptr to play with, just go to search.twitter.com and search for “Raptr” and the name of the game. It should come up with lots of “is playing” status updates, and you can contact them through Raptr to play. Usually people announcing their gaming activity do so to get other people to play with them.

Forums:
This is the best way to find players. We have a Looking For Group forum that people always visit. Whether you’re looking for a co-op partner for Resident Evil 5, or you’re looking for some friendly faces in Left 4 Dead, the forums are a great place to go.

That’s all I have. If anyone else has any suggestions, let me know! Enjoy!
