Stadia Review Thread
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
I must have been drunk when I read the pricing a while ago, I thought you paid 130 and bought games separately but you also have to pay 10 a month too? What the god damn fuck?
I got clarification! Thanks Era!
LMFAO that Destiny 2 screenshot comparison, that texture quality and shadow quality is arguably even worse than the console versions.
"1080p."
A lot of us saw this exact thing coming from miles away. This is a disaster.
From the verge review:
Well then. Guess high and ultra isn't guaranteed and 1080p scaled to 4k? Why is Google charging 10 dollars a month??? Garbage.

Remember that fighting game thread, where some people were on how miracles would happen and make fighting game possible on streaming? I remember.
Still baffling to me that Google doesn't have a Game Pass equivalent. They're missing half of the equation here. They have the sreaming, but they don't actually have the games/appealing business model.
For how much money and presence Google has, they sure don’t know how to do things right like their fruit neighbors
Sarcasm.
I Won't name any names but there is someone on this board who keeps using that everytime any Stadia criticism gets brought up.
Indeed, they'll probably be at this for a whole year or two before inevitably pulling the plug.
Ooooof!
I was told that Stadia would provide NEXT-GEN level visual, not 1080p upscaled to 4K, medium PC setting that are worse than Xbox X.
Something something Xcloud streaming XBone S 720p
I mean, there are only like two posters that are this deep into it.
Sure...if it ever releases there
It will REDUCE the input delay from current fighting games!
I laughed hard at this, that user was so aggressive in defending this stuff it was hard not to think of them as a planted shill.
Not surprising at all, the tech is there just needs more optimization to take advantage of it. This was rushed and poorly marketed from the beginning.
Can't say any of that surprises me. All the basic 'but what about X' questions appear to have been answered and be about as bad as we all figured they would be and we haven't even got to the point where the ISPs are supposed to be allowing us to have limitless amounts of data just because.
I'll keep an eye on it and see how the free service settles, but at the moment? Nah fam.

TIL you have to buy the games at full price in addition to the monthly membership. I sincerely have no idea who their target audience is. Feels like Bill Gates and Bezos sat in a room and were like, lol check this pricing structure we about to have.
Did you actually read?They say it's the best streaming service they've used in therms of image quality, compressions, etc. Problem is that the games are just not running at max settings on the server side, which makes no sense because the machine they're using is almost double in power of the Xbox One X.
Basically the service isn't ready to launch. Good job google.
I don't think Google will pull out anytime soon, no way when everybody knows streaming is the eventual future.
They must be ready to take the losses just to get their horse ready in the stands.
You don't have to buy a monthly membership. That's only if you want "4K"
