biznatchio posted:I wonder how bad it must feel to not only completely fail to positively shill for Stadia, but to fail so badly that Something Awful would rather just not have any Stadia discussion at all rather than keep putting up with your bullshit. Folks IIT made their decision about Stadia before trying the product, or evaluating it objectively. There's on top of ESO in June, there another 5 games coming to Pro. Compare what Pro offers as compared to what Humble Choice offers for $20/month, and then consider you don't even need the gaming PC to play any of these games.

If the point of the thread is to sling your latest hot take, rather than actually discuss whats going on the platform or talk about your actual experience - then I'm all for gassing it.

A PC has access to every pc gaming deal and freebie so I’m not sure why you’re singling out Humble choice which gives you more games anyway. They also just sent me an email offering me $9/month for six months on Humble Choice Premium (which I can cancel prematurely) and I imagine others have gotten the same offer.

hostile apostle posted:Folks IIT made their decision about Stadia before trying the product, or evaluating it objectively. I tried the product, it works okay. I didn't buy any games because I already own everything I want to play and the rest is garbage. The streaming works fine, on par with Geforce Now or xCloud beta. The only thing left to compete with is game library, and holy poo poo dude. Holy loving poo poo, dude. Dude. You can't possibly compare Stadia's library with either of those services, let alone GoG or Humble or literally anything else. It's bad and you know it, stop pretending please.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the bonkers games that Epic has been giving away for absolutely free the last couple of weeks. I haven't even given Epic my credit card information and I've got a copy of GTA V and Civilization VI, a game that normally sells for $60, for absolutely nothing. The promise of having these games tied to an account for me to use later alone got me to register an account. Imagine if I could also use streaming to play them on my potato of a computer. If Google truly cared about promoting Stadia, they'd be aping this model like it's going out of style. But nope, you get a two month free trial of Pro and Destiny 2. Cool cool cool.

The Sickening and Heartbreaking Truths of the Fourth Stimpire posted:In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into... I guess we found the stadia equivalent

Our "hot takes" are based in things like "physics" and observing the performance of comparable services. Our actual experience is in networking and fibre-optic technology. The people telling you Stadia doesn't work right for most people are doing so because they know how Stadia fundamentally operates down to the hardware it runs on.

You probably shouldn't dare people to compare them to games offered on other subscription services. hey now, power rangers battle for the grid is a pretty good, very inexpensive fighting game. i will concede that being a fighting game on stadia does make that version inherently awful, though.

hostile apostle posted:Folks IIT made their decision about Stadia before trying the product, or evaluating it objectively. "People decided before they tried it" is not the defense you think it is. Some things don't need to be tried in order to see that it would be a bad product for your uses; nobody has time to try everything, so being able to filter out purchases that are obviously no good for you before wasting time on a test drive is just good decision-making. I don't need to actually experience having a game session dumped after pausing for 15 minutes in order to know that's a dealbreaker for me. If you can't even get people to try a product for free before deciding that it's no good for them, that usually says a whole lot more about your product and how it addresses consumers' demand than it does about consumers' judgment.

There is also no reason they can't coexist. Stadia broadens the market. ahhahaha ok there is a 98% chance this poster is a google employee This is the kind of broken brained human that sticks around at a company post Andy Rubin and keeps cheerleading them.

cams posted:i will concede that being a fighting game on stadia does make that version inherently awful, though. This has been driving me a bit crazy. Why are there multiple fighting games on the Stadia? This is a genre where having an advantage is gauged in the form of being +3 frames on your opponent. Among any fighting game circles I’ve seen, the mantra is “friends don’t let friends play fighting games over wifi”. If you don’t have a good and proper wired internet connection, you’re going to have a bad time playing them online. Even if Stadia worked perfectly, It would still be adding more delay into the equation. Stadia is useless for fighting games beyond playing through the single player story mode poo poo. So why the hell did the new Samurai Shodown game launch as some sort of pseudo Stadia exclusive? It’s like SNK wanted their game to fail on pc. I was going to make a comment about how the people working on Stadia have no idea what kind of games are even a good fit for their service, but then I thought about that a bit, and actually neither do I.
