OnLive is horrendous

• Completely laggy
• Games look terrible
• Low FPS (2-3 fps)
• Resolution is definitely way lower than 720p

Hopefully they fix.... everything or this is gonna fail bad.

where do you live, whats your bandwidth, whats your onlive id, what platform are you using

What is your connection speed?

I think the business model of OnLive is horrendous, but I fully expected it to work.

[QUOTE="DBhova23"] Its basically the same as netflix(onlive) vs Blu-ray(pc retail)Hahadouken

I haven't actually experienced it, but there is no way that this product would be supported by so many different companies if it was working as bad as you describe for an average user. Point 1 and 3 are the same issues, as are you points 2 and 4. 2-3 fps is a slideshow and absolutely unplayable in any shape or form. What internet connection do you have? How far are you away from the servers?alextherussian

I must admit, I love digital distribution but streaming games is taking it a bit far, even for me.

crysis is the only one that has really low fps. its like looking at a slideshow. the other games don't seem to be as bad but still not that good either. Even the OnLive HUD has some lag.Zero5000X

Comeback to us with a video, we can talk then.

This is the point of a closed beta. To fix things. Going into a closed beta thinking your just gonna be getting the service for free is laughable.

They're about 20 years too early with On Live. Did anybody think this was going to be a success anyway? And call me stupid but I much prefer to physically own my games rather than subscribe to a 3rd party and streaming them online.KittenWishes

Nothing stupid about that, I'd much rather own a physical copy that I can lend (or borrow from someone else), sell, or keep if it's worth it. You never own anything with DD, as the product is in the hands of someone else. And, with this being a new service, the likelihood of OnLive failing is really disturbing, as any games you lose would be lost forever, unless the game companies are willing to back up OnLive sales with physical copy replacements in the even that OnLive goes under, which I doubt they will.

This is actually worse than standard DD, as your games aren't even stored on your system, but on servers.

Yeah. I'm not even a tad bit interested in that setup. It doesn't have anything that is going to blow the socks off the 360 or PS3, so I'll pass on it.
