[quote who="Aractain" reply="21" id="2663934"] The new Order of War is thus: PC > Xbox360 > PS3 > OnLive > Handhelds > hookers > Nintendo. The Xbox is actually becoming... slightly alluring to me lately, as painful as that is to admit. [/quote] Hey now, Nintendo is better then a Hooker. Unless you're talking about the $1000 a Night "Call Girl", but they come with mind altering drugs included and a disease free garantee....er....n

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="19" id="2663891"] Playing on one right now. I don't know what to tell you. I built my system 1.5 years ago, cost me less than 750 and that was only because I also purchased a LCD Monitor to replace my perfectly fine but large CRT. I don't just play low end games either, nor do I have to scale much back then or even now. I don't have no name parts either, EVGA, Intel, nothing in here that is gimped, so to speak. She's not going to break benchmarks or

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="103" id="2663777"] Provide good feedback and not "WOE IS US!" and you'll be fine. [/quote] That's understandable, But, what if someone does BOTH in the same post? If they have a Good Idea will it be ignored because the post started off with criticism? Honestly, it kind of makes me Not Want to put out some of the good ideas I have for fear that I may criticize something too soon and be ignored there-after.

[quote quoting="post"]BETA 4 not far behind The only difference between beta 3 and beta 4 is opening up the modding tools and we are very anxious to do that sooner rather than later. So expect Beta 3 to be short and Beta 4 to be longer as a result. We may (key word: may) allow users to create quests and submit them to be included with the game. Some of you may have noticed that user suggested NPCs are now in Beta 2-B. [/quote] Yay!!! That's the Best News I'v

[quote who="DeCypher00" reply="17" id="2663852"] Please read my post above. Disregarding the compression, OnLive is not running ANYTHING at ultra settings. These are 720p graphics, without shadows on Borderlands. A $100 ATI 4850 would run that. An nVidia 8800GT, $200 3 years ago, would still run that no problem. The fact is this: OnLive graphics are not ultra high settings. They are actually very undemanding, especially because it's only 720p. And ever since Crysis, there really haven't

[quote who="Sareln" reply="12" id="2663427"]Hey Raven, I found the spreadsheet, wrote it up into a two page PDF. It's a very simple analysis, but I think it does give us a couple of key insights into the price scheduling of Onlive. I did not include the free year of subscription offer, subtract $60 from the five year cost if you want to account for that. Here's the conclusion: Dollar for dollar, Onlive is offering a gaming experience which is comparable in co

[quote quoting="post"] NEXT WEEK Next week begins the Beta 3 series! With that all the technology trees get enabled, the Imperial factions get enabled, the minor factions get enabled, tactical battles will get enabled (beta 3A), and tons of other stuff get enabled. [/quote] That's all good stuff :). When new stuff is enabled though, will you be un-enabling other stuff? Or will we get a chance to try the features together? I.E. For "Beta

[quote who="Admiral100" reply="24" id="2662620"] @ Raven, Yeah, I hear ya. In my case I have a ton of games that I have purchased and just haven't gotten around to playing... yet. So, I need to prioritize and really start cutting back on any future game purchases. So I am really appreciative for any feedback on this one. In fact this game is the reason I got Elemental. I had it in my mind to either get this one or Elemental, and it came down to wh

[quote who="Sareln" reply="9" id="2662416"] Would that be something folk would be interested in seeing polished and reported? [/quote] Am I curious about the numbers? You Bet. Will the outcome make me change my mind and suddenly want OnLive? No way in hell. I'm still curious about the numbers though, so if you find em floating around that would be cool. :)

Great stuff Louist, great stuff there indeed. Well done :) , thanks for the info as well. Looks like I'll be picking this up in the next week or two. Yet Another game to add of the back-log of things I want but can't really afford..LoL.

[quote quoting="post"]The Community often overestimates the effort to do some things and underestimates the effort to do other things. I’ve seen the same guy who would ask for us to have an “option” to play the game as an RTS think that wasn’t a big deal but loudly proclaim we won’t be able to ship this year because food is too plentiful on the beta 2 test map.[/quote] Well, at least I know I'm not That "same guy" lol.

Very Cool :) Someone in PR deserves a pat on the back or an extra donut ;)

[quote who="DeCypher00" reply="2" id="2662126"]Been a couple of discussions over on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/cij7b/i_just_got_access_to_onlive_heres_how_the_video/ Main facts: 1) It does indeed work 2) Graphics are 720p, but are compressed. See above link for a screenshot 3) Input lag is noticeable. Most people claim to get used to it, but it's definitely there. 4) Games are full price, but also have rental prices of $1-$2 a day

[quote who="louist" reply="4" id="2662070"]D'oh, I didn't look closely enough at that release date! It was in the New Release section of impulse, and I didn't look further than that. Either way, I've purchased it, so I'll let you know in a few weeks x.x As for only three races, DII only started with 4, if I recall correctly (human, undead, daemons, dwarfs?) It's a bit of a let-down, but being a TBS junkie, I can't say no. And I to hope that the time between releas

P.S. Here's GameSpots " What you Need to Know " about OnLive.

So "OnLive" is actually "Live" now. has anyone tried it out? How's latency? I'd like to hear some first hand accounts. Better yet, tell us you "Have it. Don't like it! And now you're kicking your-self in the ass for spending money on it"....mostly because I want to see this business model crash and burn...Burn baby, Burn...and then see the flames grow so huge they take every corporate ass-jack who's come up with this plan, or will later come up with this plan, with it into the Blaze....
