yeah, the whole thing is riding on nostalgia. don't get me wrong, I'm definitely gonna rent it, but after all the hype it really doesn't look like a buy to me
I first I was like OMG not a bad deal I migh hav...
Then I was like: Oh ya. Much rather have real HD, solid framerates, no controller lag, no online lag, and great detail that PC brings that OnLive does not offer.
Nice try OnLive, or should I say...OnFail? Har har har /notfunny.

slightly off topic, but I can totally see you and Rikusaki getting into a fistfight over onlive, you're like the anti-saki..... it's entertaining
you guys are all talking about the quality on the pc/mac, which is freaking terrible, i hate the pc client. (let the short rant begin) I know that onlive promotes the mac/PC client as the main platform, and the microconsole as an accessory, but the way I see it, the console is what they need to focus on (come on, the thing costs much less than any other console, and using it actually does give you console-quality graphics) and then just promote the client as more of a feature, a convenience if you're away from home. I decided to try it a while back even though I have a 360, and since then, if the game was available on onlive, I bought it there, if anything for the sheer convenience of the instant play. To put it into perspective, I will hit the PLAY button for red faction armageddon at exactly 9:01 june 6th, and start playing the game 15 seconds later. And it's not hard to experience the difference the console makes, there's always some deal going on to get one free (in fact, I have 2 of the damn things, and I might just get more so I can start building a fort with them) there are a few kinks and glitches in the service, but updates and fixes are constant. They always pay close attention to several different forums to see exactly what everybody wants. Come on guys, just give it a try, and quit complaining about change. - okay, rant over, haha
