The free tier proved many haters wrong

Ok, those who follow, the gaming news, there were lot of people saying that Stadia is a flop (mostly people who haven't tried it...), lot of skeptical and stuff but since yesterday,  granted I am only basing on Reddit but a different picture is appearing... People who were skeptical seems to just love Stadia. & I am seeing people saying that they wanted to buy a next gen console but now won't and save that $5 - $700.

 

I remember microsoft saying there were scared as hell of Stadia (hence why they simply rushed Xcloud) and after seeing some early reaction, I definitely believe that they should be scare.

 

I was wondering why Google was not releasing the free tier but maybe that Digital foundry video made them pull the plug so people can just try themselves.

 

So I would like to know, how many of you will be passing on buying the PS5 and the next Xbox because of Stadia?

On reddit, pretty much everybody is praising Stadia.

 

I really believe Microsoft should be not focusing on another console that much but develop their cloud gaming and they definitely should be scared (based on the early reaction)

I just bought stadia a few weeks ago to try out I’ve been playing the division 2 and am super impressed. I’m not as excited for next gen consoles anymore. I just hope that Stadia is going to start getting the new games like all the other consoles. Until that happens that’s gonna hold stadia back. Cross play with pc’s would be huge too. Playing the division 2 with such a large player base is fantastic but have heard that other games like red dead 2 that only play online with other stadia players is non existent.

I'm glad that people are hopping off the hate bandwagon. That's what we need. I personally still love my playstation, most for exclusives. But thats the only thing that will get me to buy the ps5. Good exclusives.

There was only one exclusive that interested me on PS4 and it is Spiderman (I love modern era open world)... And microsoft exclusive are not that good (I have the Xbox one S) so there is nothing on either PS5 ans Series X that will make be buy one of them... 

GTA VI will be on all platforms

Cyberpunk 2077 will be on all platforms

Watchdog legion will be on all platforms

people buy consoles because they have large game libraries. Stadia has no games. Why would you even ask this question? Of course stadia isn’t competing with consoles. Also with VR soon to become common streaming VR can’t be a thing due to latency.

 

 

btw I bought stadia April 7 and signed in to find almost no games. I’m mad. The stadia commercials are highly misleading. Google scammed me

@DrDisco pretty sure you can return if only bought 3 days ago, if you feel scammed because you did no research I would advise doing that.

Didn't watch an ad to justify my purchase like most others I found out exactly what I was getting into.

People should understand the fact that games will come...

 

Why do you think Sony and Microsoft are stressing the fact that their next gen console will be backward compatible...? Because their new hardware won't have any games... All the new games you will see on the next Xbox and the PS5 will just be current gen games ported on next gen, kind of like GTA V.

 

And Stadia is competing against console, I mean, you do not get Red dead redemption, Doom eternal, Watchdog Legion, Cyberpunk if you are not here for a fight... You go the Nintendo route, different type of games... But you do not get those triple A games.

 

I am a seller myself and with time I learned that there will always be some people who are just not happy for whatever reason... Like you can sell 10 000 products to happy customers but there will always be that person who is just mad.

 

You know Stadia is beefing up to undercut next gen console, you know they are working to get games and they are not hiding their library, still you ordered then complained...

@jayo2k A lot of people seem to be patient but of course you're gonna see some outliers. Some people who can't seem to wait an hour for something. It's the territory that comes with gaming communities I suppose.
