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.

I have a crap computer and a fast internet connection and my ps3 got stolen. OnLive is perfect for me. And you never "own" games, just the license, just like I do with OnLive. Oh, and my games can NEVER again be stolen because OnLive takes good care of them for me :)

Millions of people need gaming PCs, that way you can get better hardware, have a bigger library and be able to play offline when the internet has problems.

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

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. ^_^

More reasons to avoid this, lol.

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

It's running games released for the PC platform.

In other news, League of Legends has a user base of 32 million.... so ya.

The quality was horrific, when I tried it at it's UK launch. To me, my PC makes the service completely redundant.

This is one of the few things i have found entertaining that has come from people's MLP obsession http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNMBF5czSoA

If they count every account created then it's a fake number. I have an account, ran the service once and never bothered again ...

Ugh just so bad. It's not cause it's ponies, that certainly makes it worse, but I hate it when people take a bunch of clips and put them together in an attempt to sync it with some kind of music or movie or something.

Let's put it this way...

OnLine is like you want to buy a new TV. OnLive let's you buy the TV and you can watch 50 channels on it, but you can't take the TV home, you need to watch it on display from outside the dity shop window. You can change channels, but you cant touch anything else

Any other place that sells TVs lets you take the TV home and watch 150 channels. You can do whatever you want with the TV once it's home

Can you mod your games in OnLive?

If not then count me out.

MushroomWig

To be fair, with every DD service (including Steam) you don't own your games. You only buy a license to use them, which they can terminate at any time they want. It doesn't mean that they are going to use that right often, but in some cases, like with people who are breaking their rules, they can use it.

the biggest contribution to gaming onlive provides is making ps3 guys feel better about their multiplats.

Same thing with disk-based games iirc.

It's just you actually have a disk with a hard copy.

It's a commonly cited figure... however it isn't one that is particularly important.

[QUOTE="Icarian"]

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"] Of course not, you don't even own a copy of the game, it states in the terms and conditions that even when you buy a game Onlive reserve the right to remove it at anytime.rpgs_shall_rule

Onlive has potential but it sucks in its current form. Unless you live within 100 miles or so of a data center and have fast internet the experience is awful.

It's immature to call a product out on being bad? Alright there buddy...

Integrated online community with tournaments clips etc. No argument there.

No need to update your games. Hope it updates automatically like Steam, would be odd playing unpatched games.

Every system can play it, soon even phones and tablets if I'm not mistaken. Not well as of now.

You can use keyboard+mouse or a controller wherever you like. Good point.

Hmmm... Why OnLive never really give the actual numbers eh?

yaaaaay....a user base in the millions for a FREE service

just because they downloaded and booted it up once doesn't mean they still use it

i booted the thing up once, and have never gone back
