thegameveda could focus on the excellent Steam deal for Alice , the 75% off deal for the entire GTA collection , or the myriad of offers from Onlive including your first game for £1 or $1 , or the week long THQ sale that just went by ... But no ... the real battle , where onlive and Steam go head to head is for pre orders for LA Noire The Complete Edition .. With Onlive you get 10% off plus £5 off your next purchase , with Steam you get the game for the same cost as onlive i.e.£31.49 , but wait Onlive subscribers get another 30% off that ! but you do get Grand Theft Auto 3 free with the
Steam version... mkay...
Now consider , that this game is going to be towards or over 20gb installed on your hdd with Steam , and will also likely tax your hardware like nothing else this year , remember how past Rockstar games took several years to patch and get to the point where you can now purchase them all for a paltry £4.99 and get them to run , after another 20gb plus or so of installation.... ? This round goes to onlive , when I do start playing the PC version of this game I already own on console it will be through streaming and not Steaming , onlive is simply too convenient , and the days of terabytes of installed games are over for thegameveda .How cool will it be to instantly click into a game of the size of La Noire , never have to wait for gigabytes of DLC to finish downloading , or apply a single patch ... and to continue playing across desktops, laptops , tablets and tv ?
