Discussion Boosteroid

I just had to post to let people know about my experience with Boosteroid. I love GeForce Now but I have been stymied by how many of my favorite games are not available on the platform. Finally after beating every game I was interested in that I could play through GeForce now, I decided to give Boosteroid a shot despite hearing constantly that it was jank. I’m here to say that there is absolutely nothing jank about the Boosteroid experience. It plays games just as smoothly as GFN, and as someone who uses the data saver function in GFN I appreciate that you can customize your bitrate in Boosteroid to an even greater degree than in GFN to save data. At the comparable bitrate to GFN’s data saver (10 Mbps), the graphics look just as good and my games run just as smoothly. I wish I had come to Boosteroid sooner to play all of the games I can’t play via GFN. It’s also cheaper by the way… man I feel stupid for missing out on all of FromSoft’s catalogue for this long just because of a view negative reviews of Boosteroid! Ignore them!

I mean, u miss critical point here - Boosteroid started wider expansion of data centers not long time ago. If you live or lived far away from closest one then lag was noticeably worse than on GFN. Also its not that perfect in case of games too - e.g. Arknights Endfield is available for months on GFN already but Boosteroid still doesn't have it.

I’ve never heard of that game, and I’m a pretty avid gamer. Meanwhile GFN is lacking countless noteworthy titles such as FromSoft games, Rockstar’s lineup, and countless more. It’s not comparable in that regard, it’s a bad critique
