I'm in Georgia...about 580 something miles from home. Came to see my pop who I havent seen in about 3 years, partially due to the pandemic. He's gotta nice house, decent internet and space but he's on in his years and there's not much to do.
I game mainly on a desktop pc, which I couldnt bring with me. So before I left I decided to buy a mobile controller for my phone and give Xcloud a shot seeing as though I have Gamepass Ultimate already, which includes the service.
I tried xcloud once in the early days of the beta and was immediately turned off by the severe input lag on my favorite kinds of games. I play shooters like Valorant, fighters likeGuilty Gear Strive, action rpgs like the souls series mainly these days.
I decided to give some rpgs a shot for xcloud. Ive been playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon for the past day or so and, I gotta admit, I'm really impressed. The game is smooth and responsive. If you've played this game, there are time sensitive inputs for "perfect guarding" attacks. I was able to pull these off no problem. This is not to say there's no input lag. But its very close to what I experience on a console.
I know there are similar products like Nvidia Shield, but I dont have one so its hard to compare. But for my time out of state, this is more than enough to scratch the gaming itch during downtime.
I was wondering if anybody else on GAF has given xcloud a shot recently. If so, what's been your experience? Any other games you would recommend based on the quality of your experience?
