does access to this game expire?

Their blanket legal policy is it will be guaranteed to be active on their servers for 3 years, but they've given indication that they probably won't just discontinue games.

Using the promo gives you full access to the game through the online service as if you had purchased it for $20.

This is neat. I'm guessing you have to have an internet connection to play though (cant play on the airplane)

Yeah. You need a broadband connection to use the service. Can be run on pretty much any computer as long as you have the internet though.

Fantastical · May 17, 2011

Yes, I can finally play this on my piece of shit computer!

kamspy · May 17, 2011

This would actually be a good game to play on a streaming service if you had to.

hawkshockey11 · May 17, 2011

Yay, Amnesia doesn't work on intel graphics so this is perfect for me.

Bboy AJ · May 17, 2011

Get to joining OnLive, GAF, so I can have a decent community to play with. I play with the same dozen people on Homefront all the time.

FunkyPajamas · May 17, 2011

JesseZao, thank you so much. I've been wanting to play this for a while but don't have the money to build a gaming pc so this is great. Thanks for the heads up.

[edit] Is there an official OnLive thread or something? I want to see what's GAF's take on this. I'm not a PC gamer but there are a lot of games I would be interested in, and if the service makes sense I can see myself buying a few of their games to play on my shitty laptop.

Certainly

I had the problem with the incompatible graphics card with my laptop and the desktop one was just too old. Hopefully people with that problem see this so they can finally play it. Hoping to have time to fire it up tonight when I get home.

People getting the game should join the OT and post their name so we can add you as friends. You can then spectate GAFers getting freaked out by the terrible creatures (and even hear them if they have voice chat on). You can turn spectating off if you want, but I think it's one of the big draws for the service.

Sho_Nuff82 · May 17, 2011

Wow, that took me about 5 minutes, thanks. The selection isn't great, but some of the prices are pretty nice (AC 2 and NBA 2k11 in particular).

JesseZao · May 17, 2011

I'll try and keep this near the first page every hour or so since this is going to be irrelevant soon.

Get it while it's hot!

confused · May 17, 2011

Yeah, I think I'll prefer to just wait for a Steam sale. Onlive hasn't exactly been a smashing success so far.

[namequote] Not sure what that has to do with a free game, but don't let me force feed you games you'd rather pay for.

Now you have no excuses to not play the best survival horror game released in years.

AlimNassor · May 18, 2011

SO I can't run Onlive :/, requires Pixel Shader 2.0...lame

JesseZao · May 18, 2011

Little less than 2 hours left to get this.

TheSeks · May 18, 2011

Why would anyone get it on OnLive when they don't physically own a copy of it.

If it was free on Steam for the day, I'd yoink it even if I couldn't play it for the next couple of years. Yes, I know that's the beauty of OnLive's "cloud" but that cloud service isn't the best, which is my point.

Seda · May 18, 2011

Thanks for the bump. As someone who's always envied those with rigs that can actually play games..this might be awesome.

Onlive's input delay has always bugged me, this should be a game where that is less crucial.

Last bump. Expiring in 25min.

Fox1304 · May 18, 2011

Is this expired ? I'm scared to push " Next" when buying the game since I'm not sure if I'll be able to enter the code after.

Look at the post above yours and note the time.

SneakyStephan · May 18, 2011

I guess the massive input lag making the game slower to control will only add to the tension :lol.

Last time I checked, the forum time wasn't the same as my local time, so I asked

Guess it's fixed now, and I'm screwed then ^^

Isn't that kind of a double standard?

GameFly, hurry and buy OnLive!

Sadly, I missed out on this.
