Pretty darn happy with my first Founder week.

I'm just an all around satisfied customer, wishing to let everybody know that I feel this way.

I really think this has been a great bargain for me, as I needed a new Chromecast anyway, so I kind of deduct the price of that from the total. And then I factor in three months of Pro access, by which point the investment in the controller seems pretty solid. I have gotten considerable mileage out of the Pro subscription already, with the sale discounts and everything. 

Spent a surprisingly large amount of time in Destiny 2, too, as a newbie I really enjoy leaving the later season campaigns in favor of the Red War legacy storyline. What I really love is GYLT, however, which (also surprisingly) is available in my native language, very competently translated. It's just the kind of third person sneaker that I love.

Glad to hear you are happy! I think some of bad reviews must be from people with unstable connection or using wifi, or just people that hate the thoughts about the console is going to dissapear in future. This is the future like we now stream movies and TV series. Cheaper and much faster/easier that way to start playing or trying a new game.

The idea is brilliant. Just turn on and play everywhere. I did end up with a stadia myself, wanted to try it out and we needed a cromecast anyway. So the cost is minimal when you think about the value in the cromecast.

Gylt would be my first game that i buying since i own most of the others on ps4. I wonder when we can get fortnite or call of duty to stadia, would like to see more pvp games but i know it’s very early and when new consoles release the games is very limited

I've got mixed feelings to be honest.  To begin with I thought that it was absolutely great, but the more that I observe the image quality, the skips, jumps and breakup of the image the less impressed I am.

I'm running with a project stream speedtest result in the range of 375.531 Mbps to  388.95 Mbps on a VirginMedia DOCSIS 3.0 network that typically provides me with 540-550Mbps download and 35-45Mbps upload, everything is Cat 6 Ethernet except for the controller which is connecting on a 5Ghz WiFi connection within a few metres of the access point/router.

My own gut feeling is that there is a lot of work to be done to make it acceptable for the wider general public, and that currently we are very much beta testers when it comes to the functionality that is on offer.  I suspect that things will get better as the network matures and Google begin to fully understand the nature of their product.

 

Kudos appreciated if deserved.

I went from full on hardcore pc gaming with the highest specs possible to a ps4. It’s just the experience that gets me more than a couple of pixels. Now I am jumping from a ps4 to Stadia just for the ease of it, gaming everywhere i like without any hassle. Pixels be dammed at this point. It’s like i rather play a very good story game with lesser graphics than a full madhouse of pixels and not a very great story game. Is the Experience that counts. Like I would rather play an oldskool Lucasarts games where I can literally count the pixels then playing call of duty with screaming little kids in my ear. 

Experience is all that counts.

Happy as well :slightly_smiling_face:

Some issues with delivery and lack of communication after ordering stadia.

But after a few misteps with autoanswer from google support side, one google person took charge and no issues after that :slightly_smiling_face:

Still have some issues with Destiny and sound lag but no gamebreaking stuff (spent most of  my time on tomb raider which works awesome)


Stadia name Nightcrow#9757 :slightly_smiling_face:
