It means you don't need to keep your PS4 hooked up just to play GTA5. The problem is that for Stadia, it wouldn't be enough to get people to sign up since the market who just wants GTA5 probably already has it and doesn't want to figure Stadia out.

Tabletops posted:Isn't the latency add only like 40-70 Ms or something? That's not terrible tbh. Definitely not optimal. Latency has always been an issue for competitive games and Stadia adding additional latency only makes it that much worse. Plus, you're going to have a smaller Stadia playerbase which means you'll have to connect even further to whatever hub is hosting the server between everyone.

People like to miss the forest for the trees - can you imagine not just teraflops of power, but real, substantial change? What if the next console generation comes out with super beefy hardware, and then all of a sudden Stadia announces it can just ray trace everything?

It wasn't till the last like 10 years that I was able to get servers with sub 20ms ping. Only cause I moved to the Seattle area.

It's a super dick move to visit relatives and proceed to use hundreds of gigabytes of bandwidth. You don't know what kind of plan they have or if their ISP throttles. I would be furious if I got slapped with an overage charge from some idiot streaming games.

Well, mom, I'm sorry about that $300 overage fee, but look on the bright side - I got to spend two thirds of my time visiting you sitting in the corner playing Destiny 2 and my other two Stadia games on my laptop like a loving weirdo instead of actually interacting with the family beyond telling them to "check out the future of gaming" every so often.

I'm 100% in agreement with you that - setting aside the actual current state of Stadia's launch and/or performance - the most irrational people shouting "Stadia is dead out of the gate" are people most afraid it will succeed.

leftist heap posted:You could just replace Stadia in these posts for Bitcoin and it wouldn’t seem out of place The similar mentalities are why I'm fascinated with both bitcoiners and hardcore Stadians. The entire way they think is incredible to me. You can take nearly anything a bitcoiner says, replace every instance of "bitcoin" with "Stadia", and it'll still have the same quasi-religious ring to it. And vice versa.

Also I bought a Chromecast about a week ago and set it up at home, to share the screen on an oculus quest. It worked fine at home, but when I connected it to my friend's tv, I couldn't figure out how to connect to it without resetting the chromecast and setting it up again with the phone app. Am I missing something? Because if that Chromecast worked as it should, travelling with a Stadia controller and a Chromecast (for that sweet hotel tv gaming) would be pretty drat annoying

You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But wait...Stadia!

OK im on vacation from work and my wife is reading on the couch so I figured lets give Stadia a whirl. I specifically didn't go up to the wired gaming PC because that's pointless I can just play Tomb Raider on my gaming PC. (edit: Do want to clarify, I do not have a particular hankering to play Tomb Raider right now either, but it's available) I set up stadia with my phone, it was pretty easy once i had it. Claimed the free games and then launched Stadia.com in chrome. Not going to lie I was pretty impressed by the initial experience. It was very painless, it was very quick. It recognized my PS4 controlled plugged in via Microusb on my Macbook pro. I'm wireless, but about 10 feet from the router on a good 300mbps connection. I didn't notice game breaking input lag. It was mushy but acceptable, I haven't played this game on a console/TV, nor did I get to any major platforming yet. I played the intro level and when it played it played really well - it was not really noticeably different than playing locally, and it was cool to be playing on my 15" 2015 macbook pro. It's a nice screen, good setup for on the lap gaming. BUT. BUT. Like 5-6 times in just the into level the game came to a screeching halt and everything became brutally pixelated and robotic sounding for a few full seconds. This happened once during the "baby's first QTE" part of the game so I failed it and died. A few other times during some important dialogue or explanation/camera cut to reveal something. I obviously use this computer all the time, it doesn't have problems dropping connections for other sustained transfers. I'll do a little local troubleshooting and will try on other machines/connections in my house, but drat. If I have to be wired i'm pretty much never going to use it.

Imagine the horror when you innocently ask your neighbor what he's up to and then he starts in about th Stadia. Something you have no idea about and he won't stop and you just don't care.

Chromecast can indeed only remember one wifi network at a time and changing it requires resetting the device and going through the setup procedure again. So I guess that's my misunderstood Stadia feature then.

Stadia was released November 19, too late in the month for anyone to stream a crazy amount. But December? https://twitter.com/nadascript/status/1207880693352669184 Also what the gently caress, averaging nearly 50% of your life on Stadia? https://twitter.com/StadiaStreamer/status/1207321526913191937 https://twitter.com/USBCGuy/status/1208972037441458177

And so it begins. Are people going to spin it as 'well december is a holiday month so people are playing more than usual' And I do want to set the record straight. Xfinity only gives you those two months of going over data for free once for your entire account. Not twice a year or anything like that.
