OnLive: Installed User Base in the Millions

I for one love the idea of Onlive. Unfortunatley, my internet is too slow to try it, but I will be fixing that soon so I can enjoy hassel free PC gaming.

This is NOT PC gaming. This is watered down console gaming.

This is a really *****y future for gaming if it were true.

[QUOTE="djsifer01"]I dont purchase games from steam nor use the service. When you buy games off steam i thought you were buying a digital copy? is that not true?djsifer01

There's so many people on Homefront Onlive is because it has no other games.

Hmm.. Let's see.. OnLive has

• L.A. Noire
• Saints Row: The Third
• Batman: Arkham City (coming soon)
• Assassins Creed: Revelations (coming soon)
• Lord of the Rings: War in the North
• Borderlands GOTY
• DiRT 3
• FEAR 3
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent
• Split/Second
• Just Cause 2

OnLive has a good selection of games. It's great to see Rockstar Games hopped on board not too long ago. ^_^

Whoa whoa calm yo'self. I'd edit that picture.

I'm actually happy it works and is doing well as i was very pessimistic about it working

Can you mod your games in OnLive?

If not then count me out.

Bad news...

Someone is apparently hacking OnLive and is playing games that aren't even out yet (Arkham City, Revelations).

So only a few million in billions have Internet fast enough for it?

How much did Onlive pay you to put that lil banner on your sig and to make this topic? jk!

I hope this service becomes big enough to put pressure on providers to increase bandwidth and infrastructure improvements for all.

I won't bash Onlive like i always do just because Rikusaki is a fellow Brony.

:lol::lol::lol:

Of course, Installed User Base and Active Installed User Base are two completely seperate things. I downloaded the software and demoed a couple games. Haven't touched it since, but I guarantee you they count me as a user for their purposes. If they had an active base even remotely approaching those figures, they'd actually get press beyond drumming some up for themselves...

I suck at unions, i always lost interest on them...but a FiM union? sounds fun, might give it a try :D

cant wait for the steam fanboys say i want to own my games

You are really trying to make it seem like Homefront was good.

OnLive players are playing it because they have NOTHING ELSE TO PLAY.

Well I have to give credit where credit is due, I never expected Onlive to take off. I was one of the non believers.

It's not for me, but props to Steve Perlman regardless. Congratulations.

I thought the idea was just stupid, I admire the risk, it must have been tough to convince investors.

Although I do think the Onlive TV console is way overpriced at around £70 the last time I checked.

Rikusaki u have to help me out over here, i like Onlive and became a member, got my first game for $1 , its Homefront just to play MP some times, the problem im having is i get around 10fps and really choppy gameplay with Time Warner Cable internet ? I dont understand i have a pretty decent connection why is my game lagging so much, i bought this and wanted to show off this tech to my friend so he could get the game when i booted it up he laughed at me. It cant be my connection.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="Rikusaki"]

Yep! People love free stuff. lol

[QUOTE="djsifer01"]Cloud gaming is going to fail. I for one will never support it. Not owning my games and no option to have a physical copy=epic fail. Cloud gaming will never be the future of gaming.djsifer01

So then I assume you have the exact same feelings for Steam then?

The games require Steam to run, so in theory if Steam were to go out of business and shut down their servers, the games would also stop working. They could update the games to not require Steam, though, whereas Onlive streams games, so there is no way to solve the problem.

onlive has come leaps and bounds since launch and the playpass in an insanely good deal but it still has the worst versions of every multiplat available.

seriously, they are bad, even ps3 guys would look at them and go, ewwwww!

edit: lol actually this reminds me my buddy told me last night they are doing free microconsole with a game again, i need to go check that out i really was bummed when i missed out on that deal.

OnLive would be a great demo service. Don't actually play the full game, but 1 hour worth of demo would be neat. musicalmac

I have an OnLive account I made a while ago. I was unimpressed with the service, and haven't use it since. I guess I'm part of that "installed base".Merex760

probably includes people like me who signed up to try a demo just out of curiousity.

I thought OnLive was dead. I don't even know anyone who uses it.

The PC version of Homefront is pretty much dead while the OnLive version is booming with tons of players. Shows how much people love the service when they are enjoying such a mediocre game.Rikusaki

Why are all of you people lying? I very rarely experience any lag. In fact, xbox live and psn lag as much as OnLive. Are you really that blind of fanboys to lash out at anything new or "dangerous" to your precious ps3 and xbox? I love OnLive. It's the best thing to happen to video games in a long time.

Why would anyone go with Onlive? It's just streaming and you pay just to basically rent the games, you don't own any of them at all. Sorry while I think DD is going to happen in the future eventually, as of right now it's a joke. Just use Steam instead, it's far better plus you get to keep the game you bought and you will save money too.

Because you can buy games for $5 instead of $60? Just a guess.

You just rent games off of Onlive, you don't actually own any of them. And Steam has great deals and it's free too, I recommend that you go check it out.
