Why would you want to play the game through a set top box that has a long history of pixelated graphics and down-scaled resolution? What’s worse is that the multiplayer would only be with other OnLive players and if your internet or their system goes down you’re SOL. Plus you never own the game, not even a digital copy, the game files never touch your network or computer. That’s a little squirrely for my tastes.
Steam also has it for $45.
I have to re-iterate though, why would anyone want to pre-order a game that’s already been delayed this long? A few poor people still have their gamestop pre-order receipts from 9-10 years ago, something tells me they won’t be honoring them
if you don’t own a console or a gaming computer and you never want to have to do a system upgrade, then its really not that bad of a deal. but you have to have a kickass internet connection that is for sure.
it’s actually not that bad. I have onlive installed on my laptop. I havent actually bought anything but you can play 30 mins of any game in their catalog for free. It’s amazing (to me) to see games like batman arkham asylum playing well on my lowly laptop. Lag is definitely an issue though; multiplayer would not be very good i dont think.
