Thought Fuck it, I'll fire it up.
The website account page keeps saying "Your order is still in progress. Try refreshing after a few minutes" (Even as I type this) but once I got the order confirmation email I just downloaded the local client and installed it.
First It needs C+P support. It's a pain in the arse to type randomly generated passwords into the remote game client but at least it seems to remember my login details so that might only be a pain in the arse once.
The local client doesn't seem to have the ability to scan my local machine for games nor query stream or battle.net for my games. I had to manually search for a game I was interested in playing.
Picked Overwatch cause I play that a fair bit after searching for a few other titles and came up blank. I normally get around 20ms lag playing locally but on their servers I was getting 50ms. Game client (GeForce Now Client) says I have a 8ms ping to their servers.
It might of just been my personal "feeling" about it but there was some input lag. In OW if you press melee your character will punch right away even if it takes 20ms for that response to hit the server, but ovb I had to wait for that action to leave my machine, get rendered and get sent back to me before I saw it here.
Played a round on the arcade and I felt off my normal game, but if I only played using the service I would prob get used to it.
Its a nice idea and if you only play single player games or not so competitive multiplayer games like OW I can see a use for it esp if you don't want a gaming rig but atm its not for me.
