I love the Borderlands series!  However, before switching to Stadia as my sole gaming platform, I preordered, purchased, and completed the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition on Xbox One.  It’s really awesome that cross-play is being introduced, but unfortunately it doesn’t benefit people like me who are interested in picking the game back up, solo or with friends who are yet to see the silver lining of the cloud.  For a game that has been out for almost two years, to entice us veteran players to repurchase on Stadia, cross-save should also have been a focus.

@Pengu While cross-save should've been a focus, it's not necessarily the fault of anyone but the developers for not enabling it. Whether it's Google's Stadia, Sony with it's PS, or even the Xbox, you can't move progress between them at all. It's not just a cloud gaming issue, it's an issue in general. 

I agree that cross save would benefit players, but it's something you'd have to take up with the devs.

@m3t4lw01f They're one of those reddit folks masquerading as "I criticize stadia because I love it and want it to succeed." Even though you can clearly see their comment history and has never said even one remotely nice thing about the service or platform.

@StadiaTeam So still no battlefield or cod for stadia. So after closing the doors on the first party games what are you really doing with that money. We was told that money was going to get us big 3rd party games well not seeing much right now. Can you please take some time out of the day to tell us what is going on. Out of all the games we seen at this E3 we was told only what 3 are coming to stadia well that is not good. We want stadia to do well but at this point the player base will never get better tell you get the games people want to play. Millions of people play cod or battlefield you telling me you did not want to spend any money getting just one of the games so we have a true fps game to play. Also call of duty is cross play how can you not get on that. Look stadia team you need to start talking to fans on what is going on with the games, Just tell us what is coming or not so we can make pick if stadia is right for us. At this point we spend all year hoping or guess what we are going to get well it should not be like that at all. I just hope you take the time to care or just take the time to say something to us on this.

@ChaosTheory At first glance I thought maybe one of the "but not those games" types that really only wants Call of Duty or Battlefield, and every other new game isn't a real game, because real gamers only play those two ...

But I digress.

It's just a little frustrating because the entire world is prepared for them to just shut it down and walk away, just because they're so desperate to be right about something, and every day that passes where Google doesn't just shut it down and walk away is one more day they get to have this "I hate you because you're different" attitude about it.

If they spent half as much time just enjoying what it offers, they'd be too busy having fun to notice what's missing that eventually the things they really want will appear on the platform and we'll all be much happier. And then Microsoft comes along with the exact same service and it's hailed as the best thing since sliced bread and will be the final nail in Stadia's coffin...

I play on pretty much every platform except Sony's, and as far as streaming goes Stadia's is far and away the clear winner. I even play it on Starlink. The lag is about equal across all services for me, so it's down to stream quality and that's where Stadia wins hands down. But since it "doesn't get games" I guess I just need to move on and use the inferior competitor's service because at least that way I'll have "the good games" and online "won't be a ghost town" right? Maybe if everyone that thought that way would give Stadia a shot, that stuff would naturally improve?

Crazy ideas, I know.

I keep asking for it. Please consider a stream option from Chromecast Ultra, Google Chromecast TV,  mobile, and Android TV.  I wanna play on my TV instead of my laptop, but I also wanna get into streaming. I tried OBS but my Surface Book1 i7 can't handle it, I underestimated, screen recorders and streaming software are very resource hungry.

Loving Stadia as a platform for gaming it's the best service for quality of stream just need some more AAA titles but hopefully that will come in time. Does anyone know if F1 2021 is coming out this year? Last year we got it fingers crossed for it hopefully EA buying it doesn't stop it! Also I would like to see COD and Battlefield but not desperate for it Resident Evil was awesome plus fired up to try Stadia on Android TV should bring more players and make Stadia better online also Borderlands 3 cross-play should be awesome more cross-play please Devs...

@BarnacleBoy  @TristenWolf  You can just forget 60FPS for the older Assasins Creed games. They are not optimized for 60 FPS on ANY platform, only Valhalla is.

You make it sound like this is an issue with Stadia?

Some GPU testers even use AC Origins as a benchmark - IF they can crank it up to 60FPS - then it's a good card, since the game is so poorly optimized for FPS performance. 

So there's not a chance that Ubisoft would start to optimize those older games specifically for Stadia.

State Share in Hello Engineer is going to be a game changer!  I have such a massive backlog though, I don't know when I'll get around to playing it.  

 

Borderlands 3 was one of the first games I played on Stadia, I am so happy to see it's getting some love with the free play weekend pass!  I am eager to see lots of new friends to join in on some shooting and looting. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
