What's your general impression and experiences playing on Stadia?

I've played a few games. Destiny 2, MK11, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and NBA 2K20. (Ironically, not with my founders edition since I haven't received it yet. Borrowed my buddy's who ordered way after I did) I have Verizon internet with a gigabit connection. I have Google's new WiFi router with 6 of the 1st generation Google WiFi. I've had some lag with the shooters when I first start but about 3 minutes in to the game it catches up. I get some stuttering with the frames every now and again. I played destiny two for exactly 1 hour (timed myself and checked Chromecast Ultra"s usage and used 11.7gbs of data in 1 hour so if you have Comcast (the only major isp who has a data cap) beware. Other than the known launch issues and the lack of games (only 22 at launch) I think it's a pretty good start. Hopefully have developers start to develop for the platform.

Calgary Canada here.

 

Latency is really good on D2, can barely tell the difference between Stadia and PS4. However the frequent drop in frame and video quality and the constant warning of unstable connection is really making this a bad experience for me. If this doesn't get better in a weeks time, I will just return the FE.

 

Edit:

Have Fibre 150/150 internet, ping to stadia.google.com is 17ms.

I haven't got any chances to buy any games, so I just tried Destiny 2 and Samurai Showdown.

Destiny 2 works fine when playing using controller. I tried it on PC Chrome browser and Pixel 3 XL, both using Xbox One controller, and they works. There might be latency, but I can't really feel it. I'm actually a Destiny 2 PC player though, so I can't really use a controller. The thing is, there's this weird lag while using m/kb. It almost feels like I'm using m/kb to move the analog stick on console, with this weird acceleration/deceleration. 

Samurai Showdown works great. But then again, I don't really play fighting games that much. So there might be latency, but I definitely can't feel it. If you ask pro Street Fighter player, they might have different opinion. But it's definitely playable and I don't feel at disadvantage at any point.

I'm thinking of getting Tomb Raider 2013 since it's only $10.. Might give more impression later.

I have to admit I am very impressed for just Day 2 and the near perfect streaming of the games (Destiny 2 and Wolfeinstein), an engineering marvel. Of course I get drop in graphics, lag, etc periodically but I was expecting a lot more from all the reviews Stadia was given, certainly all playable through. This will certainly be my new "Story Mode / Non-Multiplayer" platform of choice, as can now play while travelling - but hard to beat the quality of PS4 Pro when playing online FPS's with friends.

So I got my access code last night. Though, I am still waiting for the my Stadia Founders kit to come in. (Which it's coming in today.) I decided to fire up Stadia and play a bit through Google Chrome and see how the latency was, since all I have heard all day long that the latency was bad. So, I decided to purchase Gylt and play a bit. To my surprise, Gylt ran flawlessly on Google Chrome, with mouse and keyboard. Camera were movement were very responsive with no lag at all. Input from the keyboard were also lag free from what I can tell. So, in regard to single player games, I had zero to no lag whats so ever. I have to say I was thoroughly impressed how well Gylt ran on a cloud base system.I didn't try Destiny 2 because I don't want to start from scratch so I was trying to figure out how I can play with my current level players on Stadia. If anyone knows how I can transfer my Bungie account to Stadia, that would be most helpful. Today I will do my testing when my controller comes in today, and I'll report back with that. Currently my internet speed is 150 up and 150 down, but coming Friday, I'll be upgrading to 500 up and 500 down. So I am hoping that will be a huge help when it comes to playing multiplayer games. Oh, and my ISP is Frontier, which I have to say I have been really happy with.

@Sparky Go to https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave to set up cross save. You'll pick one set of characters (presumably your non-stadia characters, in your case) that will be your cross-save characters and then you can play them on all platforms.

Thanks @Nimgimli for the information, I'll try to do that tonight when I get home fro work. I just received word my FE kit has arrived at home so I should be good to go when I get home to try that.

 

Thanks again!

@Sparky I used the destiny companion app. Select the More option then Cross save.In there you link your steam, xbox, ps4 and stadia Accounts. Once you verify them you can pick which characters you want to use on all system

First of all : delivery/code quite a mess to be honest but I was lucky to get through. Code ok after 5h post launch time, shipped the 19th, delivery is tomorrow in France. (Ordered the 6th June). Configuration : super fast (but pay attention you need a credit card) : it took me 5-8 min. The gaming part : tested Chrome only on my PC. Tried XBox One pad on Samurai and Keyboard/Mouse for D2. The good : no perceptible lag, I could do special moves every time in Samurai. On D2 it feels very responsive. I have to double check collisions to some walls tonight. The just less good : no 4k, some aliasing from time to time and in dark/foggy area some codec/visuals compression visible. But so far so good this is very impressive. I have the feeling to see the future of gaming. My connection : optic fiber 400/400 Mbps in Paris. No data cap. So I think quite ideal situation as I am near Google backbone access to a 100km distant data center.

Must say I have had no problems at all.. little input lag and not a single framedrop on some 2 hour or more sessions .. maybe it's because many people have crappy internet connections?!

Greetings,

  I got my code yesterday afternoon and my controller last night. So far I have played on Chrome (Linux & Win10), Chromebook (Dell 5190), and Pixel 4.

  I have used mouse and keyboard for Chrome (Linux w/Stadia extension & Win10 w/out Stadia extension) and the controller (wired) on Chromebook (w/Stadia extension) and Pixel4 (w/Stadia app).

  Additionally, I have played on 100Mb / 15Mb, LTE, 1Gb / 1Gb, 2.5Ghz wifi, and 5Ghz wifi.

  I have started games on one system and jumped to another, randomly stopped Chrome and resumed the game on another system. Performance has been very good. Input latency has been imperceptible from my PS4 or my Win10 PC games.

  Please note that I a very casual gamer, so my PC is nothing special. Other than the code delivery issues, I have only had issues with pairing the controller / Chromecast Ultra / Stadia app.

I agree with you @Bluetooth ! The game seems to get better once you start getting into the game. Better and steadier stream in the triple A games that require a lot of internet! By the way @Bluetooth I love what you did with your avatar pick! :thumbs_up::fire:

Very Impressed latency is unnoticeable with the controller and chromecast ultra, ive only had 1 stutter in the games i've played. Google seems to of largely pulled it off
