Highly depends on the country dude.Most players don't have access to Stadia and the connection speed to for the quality. What's this guy smoking?

Yeah, Gamepass is probably the best offer on consoles for poor players who play on smartphone or tablet.Recently Stadia allowed anyone who has as much as Google account to play Destiny 2, before you would have to subscribe to a Pro tier subscription, If this move alone was to facilitate a stream of players to the platform, it was a fairly smart move. The Pro game library is only expanding and there will be a percentage of players that will be dedicated to the platform no matter what. Now that xCloud is bringing streaming to it's platform, it will be one hell of a competitor to Stadia as Xbox Game Pass has much larger library, that's about the only distinction that I can make, one has simply more to offer. Personally I don't want to see Stadia go down, but not for the reason of Google saying successful with the platform, I simply wish for people who already spent their money in one way or another to keep the items that they "own".
Nah just state USA is a third word country by internet speeds.Yes, obviously. Saying "most" players is incredibly misleading. Or is it because "most players in the USA" doesn't sound as good?
Companies would be in shits creek if they had to develop exclusively for Stadia. No exclusive is going to drive the masses to Stadia beyond initial curiosity. It's only a good idea if you want to send your ip/games out to get shot behind the shed and die.I completely forgot this even exists.
I seriously doubt they can survive for long if they don't get killer exclusives. Why the fuck would anyone buy into a platform that only gets third party games?
I have said it before but Google killed this service by letting Microsoft snatch Zenimax away. Can you imagine Stadia having all those studios develop exclusive IP's? It would have been terrible but I would have at least tried it out for Doom Next and whatever else they are working on.
It's actually a good thing.I will admit: I tried out Stadia to play the Fenyx Rising demo for the Ubisoft reward. It performed flawlessly on my 10 year old laptop.
Bravo, Google. Too bad your marketing for it was absolute crap.
Stadia will kill Stadia, but I guess not in 2021Luna is going to kill off Stadia in 2021.
What browser are you using?I also noticed how sometimes I don't actually get a 1080p stream and it looks a bit blurry. I managed to work around it by refreshing the page until I get a clear picture. I will post impressions on chromecast and the stadia controller once I get them.
yup, GFN for Graphics, Stadia for resolution (GFN is a 1080 feed)tried geforce now and stadia,and boy geforce now its the best streaming outh there,60 fps with rtx on ( stadia version lacks rtx)
They finally woke up, lol.There must be some massive marketing push this holiday because it seems like every third ad I see on YouTube is for Stadia
you're goddam right!Stadia will become the most successful video games platform ever created just like google+ became the most successful social media platform.
you're goddam right!
Sony is reportedly issuing refunds for Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 | VGC
UPDATE: CD Projekt has no special agreement in place with Sony or Microsoft for refunds…www.videogameschronicle.com
Cloud gamers right now
Playstation owners ask for Cyberpunk refund to buy it on Stadia and Geforce Now.Wrong thread? I don’t follow
Playstation owners ask for Cyberpunk refund to buy it on Stadia and Geforce Now.
The rise of cloud gaming has begun
Xcloud is great too, but let's face it.Oh yes! It doubled its user base from 5 users to 10 users in a day!! At that pace it will be an unprecedented success in about 100 years
Cloud gaming is the future.. Stadia however... yea.. no. Xcloud will though.
Xcloud is great too, but let's face it.
You cannot buy Cyberpunk with it.
It's linked to Gamepass ultimate for now so the cheapest and easiest way to play Cyberpunk is stadia.
Who will take advantage of the cyberpunk hype in 2020 ? PC, GFN for the graphics, stadia for the price.
Ge Force Now... better than Stadia since it runs the game above low settings and you'll see more than 2 NPCs on screen at once
Don't care of your Stadia VS GFN, i'm a proud cloud gamerGe Force Now... better than Stadia since it runs the game above low settings and you'll see more than 2 NPCs on screen at once
Except with Stadia you don’t get put into a queue and sometimes only have a limited time to playGe Force Now... better than Stadia since it runs the game above low settings and you'll see more than 2 NPCs on screen at once
Cyberpunk 2077 shines on next-gen consoles and Stadia, but older hardware struggles - The Verge

It may be hard to believe, but the Google Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077 may be the best way to play for most players right now. Unless you have a 20 or 30 Series Nvidia GPU or comparable AMD card or you were lucky enough to get a PS5 or Xbox Series X / S, this game will not be performing anywhere close to how it was designed to. That means going the cloud gaming route is a surprisingly viable option if you’re concerned about performance and you also want the added benefits Stadia provides, like playing across multiple devices and not having to download the game or any subsequent updates to get right to playing.
I’ve played through the first few hours of the game on Stadia, and I’ve been very impressed with how well Cyberpunk 2077 is holding up. Unlike the PS5 version, the Stadia one has graphical presets to prioritize either resolution or frame rate. And it runs smoothly and looks almost indistinguishable from the console version in my experience on a 50 Mbps-plus internet connection, even over Wi-Fi. (I’ve also been testing the game on PS5.)
5 Reasons You Should Play ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ On Google Stadia (forbes.com)
I can't feel any Input lag.How's the control responsiveness tho? Since its streaming, the input lag has GOT to be there... right?
Bit salty no?Oh yes! It doubled its user base from 5 users to 10 users in a day!! At that pace it will be an unprecedented success in about 100 years
Cloud gaming is the future.. Stadia however... yea.. no. Xcloud will though.
I can't feel any Input lag.
The latency for me while playing Cyberpunk: 15-20ms (according to Stadia Enhanced Extension)
Connection: 100Mbit via Wifi 5ghz
Location: Vienna, Austria
Game settings: Visual Mode (4K/30fps)
I guess I'll have to see for myself someday. Cyberpunk is probably a good example of what Stadia's original selling pitch is actually good for... ie let someone else worry about having the 'best' hardware, you just play the game. I could almost agree with it if not for the fact you still have to 'buy' something (despite owning fuck nothing).
If Stadia were a pure service (coz lets be honest, it should be) like Netflix or Gamepass and only cost $10 a month or so, THEN I'd agree it was a good thing. They shouldn't be asking users to buy anything when you actually own nothing.
I have a problem with the fact you need to buy hardware for Stadia, and then buy games.... and ultimately you own fucking nothing and it all becomes poof, gone, when they pull the plug.If you have that specific problem with Stadia, then you should have it with almost every digital game storefront.
I must be absolutely blind, because each time somebody posts screenshot showing differences between two consoles or image modes, I spend half an hour finding none. Do you guys use electronic microscopes or mass spectrographs?I've been playing Cyberpunk on stadia and I must say It's a pretty good version.
I've played around 3 hours and I got 2 crashes. This never happened to me on any other game so I'm assuming it's a Cyberpunk issue.
Here is a quick comparison of performance vs visual modes:

With literally every other platform, its possible to keep your copy locally and keep playing it. That's the key difference.
Yeah 'ownership' is moot but possession is 9/10ths of the law (or something, however that saying goes).

You are asking for a monthly service with an instant games catalogue like gamepass or psnow for stadia... but doesn't a service like that make it worse? There is a possibility that the game you are playing can be gone next month.I have a problem with the fact you need to buy hardware for Stadia, and then buy games.... and ultimately you own fucking nothing and it all becomes poof, gone, when they pull the plug.

Also you don't need to buy new hardware you can just use your phone or non gaming laptop and have a decent experience.
The service has its caveats but it's besides the point you are bringing.
Are you watching the screenshots in a phone?

It's not like Netflix. You sign in with your Google account and you can buy games and play them at 1080p60 without any monthly charge more similar to steam.You don't need to buy the Stadia 'console'?... Ok that's actually news to me coz I didn't know that. I read shit about how ppl 'preordered' Stadia, had to buy some box and a controller, etc.
If it truly is like Netflix and you can just 'sign up' for a piddly price a month as a service then ok, I don't have a problem at all.

They also have an additional service called stadia pro where for a monthly price you can buy some games for free and keep playing the as long as you pay the monthly fee. Similar to ps+.
The only thing it resembles Netflix is in it's interface, ease of use and the fact that you can use it on any device that has a browser or an app.
And there is where I don't agree and it's fine. A service like Netflix or gamepass is worse for me since games can be gone any time.Bold is the the bit I don't agree with.
If you 'buy' the game, you should be able to at least play it even when the service dies. When PSN service for PS3, PS4 etc dies, you can still play your downloaded games on the HDD as long as your license files are on the HDD too. Buy a game on PC, even if Steam dies you can still launch the game if its on your HDD.
If you can't even do that, then you shouldn't have to 'buy' anything. Since its a pure service like Netflix, it should be a monthly charge like Gamepass and that's all. If they ever shift to that model then I'll support it, but until then, its a bad thing to me.
And there is where I don't agree and it's fine. A service like Netflix or gamepass is worse for me since games can be gone any time.
If the service is gone is gone for good. If it's easier for you to make your mind to pay for a service than a license then it's fine but you don't own either.That's exactly the thing tho. Stadia could go out of service tomorrow, and all your games are gone!
That's exactly why I don't agree to 'buying' games in Stadia, coz if it shuts down tomorrow, all your 'purchases' are gone. As mentioned before on all other platforms, even if the online service goes, your games can be played offline still.
Stadia IS a service like Netflix, but it wants customers to 'buy' as if it weren't, and therein lies the problem.
