Any screen anywhere instantly with garbage quality and horrible input lag you mean. Even with my 1.5 gigabit fiber connection stadia is jank. meanwhile xcloud and geforce now are flawless.
It's been fine for me, I'm on 500/500 fiber and 4k HDR without a hiccup. Give it another go, it's been a great experience and although the game library sucks, I'm mostly on Destiny 2 and some Grid.
I am, only because of the free multi-month promo. Runs great on a 2012 MacBook Pro and a much newer Dell E5470 laptop. Rogers 50MB down service. Using a wireless Xbox controller. Only playing the free games. I like Grid, Zombie Army Dead War 4, The Turing Test, and Gylt. Probably won't keep it going when my free trial runs out however. I'm not much of a gamer. Don't have a console. Needed something during COVIDaudioarchetype wrote: ↑ Following this thread just to see if people are actually using Stadia.
If that's your experience with Stadia, that's unfortunate and annoying, but that's definitely not a blanket statement that applies to every Stadia user. It works incredibly well for me with every game I've played such as Division 2, DOOM Eternal, Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
I have xcloud and stadia and they both run well, your just hating on stadia at this point. People try it yourself because with game streaming services, people will have different experiences dependent on location, wifi, how many devices, people in the family running and where the nearest servers are. When it runs well it’s magical, for those that don’t that’s unfortunate and I hope it improves in your area. I can’t go back to downloading and installing games after experiencing streaming with XCloud and stadia.
I use it exponentially more than my PS4 Pro. Even "installed" in on a Firestick 4K (You need the Stadia controller to do this).audioarchetype wrote: ↑ Following this thread just to see if people are actually using Stadia.
I do an love it, quality has been flawless for me so far, I have Gigabit FTTH so would not expect less. I'm a casual gamer so this system / model is perfect for me, already have 3 old consoles gathering dust where I only played 3 / 4 full games on each...audioarchetype wrote: ↑Following this thread just to see if people are actually using Stadia.
I'm on 500/500 too and Stadia works perfectly for me. I've been playing a lot of Zombie Army 4 lately.bhrm wrote: ↑ It's been fine for me, I'm on 500/500 fiber and 4k HDR without a hiccup.

GeForce isn't for me as I don't have a new enough Mac (10 and 11 years old) and my main machine is a chromebook. xCloud I don't have the newer xbox controllers.
That's a very big misconception regarding Stadia. Games that you purchase are yours to play anytime without subscription at max 1080p. There are a lot of gamers that are playing and enjoying Stadia right now so it is far from being a failure.roccerfeller wrote: ↑ Stadia would be compelling if it was more like PS Now or Gamepass, where you pay monthly for a streaming service or the ability to download games
Having to pay for it on top of paying for games you can suddenly never own if you decide to stop paying monthly for Stadia is the core reason stadia has been a failure so far among gamers
To that end, OP thank you for sharing this post but this wouldn’t be considered a “hot deal” imo
You realize allowing you to download games means your computer needs to be strong enough to play it? the whole point of streaming is to let people play it on devices that would never be able to run these games. Also you don't need a subscription to play games. You just buy games and play. You don't need to pay for a subscription then pay for a game. Also stadia pro is like ps plus or xbox live gold. You pay to receive a random 2-3 games per month. It's not game pass or ps now.roccerfeller wrote: ↑ Stadia would be compelling if it was more like PS Now or Gamepass, where you pay monthly for a streaming service or the ability to download games
