Pretty nice line up, most of them that I can already play on my pc (mostly, mine's pretty crappy lmao) without the need to stream them or destroy my bandwidth or what.
Can't wait to see those exclusive be easily pirated and playable on any pc, eh.
But what an effing name is "Gylt"? Like, what the hell-
And what is Kine doing there? When did Nintendo make a Kirby spinoff for the stadia?
if you don't get it, the last one is a joke

I always hated the idea of streaming games.
Not because of input lag (I think if anyone can handle this, it's Google or Microsoft) but because I want to own the games.
I want to be able to play them even in 30 years when all of today's servers are down.

However this changed a bit. The internet and especially that archive site make me think that somehow I might be able to gather the game later on which made something else more important to me:
I probably would use Stadia and the likes if I would be able to download my savegames.
As long as there's a way, I could bother myself at a later date on actually getting to own those games. Then I restore the savegame and I'm fine.
But as far as I know there's no way to download/extract/pull savegames from cloud gaming services, right?
I'm really just playing in some sort of a bubble and whenever I unsubscribe, I'm completely out with nothing left over and that's my concern with Stadia and the likes.

The launch titles are mediocre, though at the same time, games like Destiny 2 are a perfect test to see if the Stadia has any chance of ever playing anything where latency will be a massive sticking point. Things like turn based RPGs could be fine regardless but anything action-oriented could still potentially be the breaking point for the stadia. I guess we'll soon see. The post launch line-up is a lot more impressive as well.

While I give Stadia some benefit of the doubt, I don't think it's a good idea to release two highly competitive and reflex-demanding fighting games as launch titles on a service with unavoidable input lag.
thumper is also very, very reflex demanding, it's a very fast paces rhythm game

It's a solid collection of titles, but they're also almost all already available on PC, so it's kind of a hard sell in that regard. I do think that game streaming has a future, and Google potentially could be that that future, but I still have my doubts right now.

Where do you live in the US that you're having struggles streaming Netflix in HD? Who is your internet service provider?

I mean it's not, but, many of us have no issue streaming the likes of Netflix in HD without ever having to buffer. So I'm not sure what that dude's issue is, I'm guessing its either a poor internet provider, or he lives in part of the country where nothing is happening (Wyoming, the Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska, etc.), we do have a rather large dead area that doesn't get a lot of attention.

Imagine subscribing for a year in google stadia but only be able to play less than half of that time due to data capping...
I'd say all gamers who subscribe to it wil hav unlimited broadband and thts the norm for most of us anyway

Not gonna lie, it's got more Japanese love than I expected. I still can't make myself give a shit, though. The idea that Steam is talking about doing something similar and letting people stream games from their library when they aren't near their gaming PC (or if someone else is using it) is a much more appealing idea to me.
