Yea, ok, I didn't want to get any more good games anyways, as I'm much too busy with Switch and PS5 games right now. But maybe next month?

Well, I don't think GFN and Stadia aren't comparable. Yes, technically, they're different types of services and Stadia's 1080p stream will be "free" at some point, while GFN's free service is very limited, but the Stadia games are very expensive and only playable on Stadia (if it shuts down, everything is gone); on GFN the games are much cheaper and if GFN is terminated, you can still play them on a PC. But to the customer they're both basically the same - a paid service to stream games that you have to buy individually. I know Nvidia estimated something like $25 a month for GFN a few years ago, but I can't find any up to date information on the price tag after the Founders offer is over. If anyone has a valid source on that, it would be appreciated. The next 12 months I'm paying 5,49€ / month, so that's what Stadia has to compete with right now. And it's nice, that many of you seem to get the full 4K HDR experience on their TV's, but I don't and I know many others don't either. Stadia doesnt looks horrible on my 4K TV, far from it, but it's also definetly not true 4K @ 60 FPS. At least not in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and all the free games so far. I get a lot of artifacts and blurriness, even though my connection is always "excellent". On PC via Chrome, the experience is even less great.. To me, it doesn't matter what the specs of the servers are or if even more was possible. The only thing that counts is what I see on my screen. The only game I myself can compare directly is Destiny 2, because I do own that on Steam and Stadia. And it just looks and runs just much, much better on GFN than on Stadia via Chrome. But no, I'm not trying to convince anyone to switch to GFN. Everyone should use whatever they're happy with. I'm just trying to get what I was promised by pointing out the shortcomings of the Stadia service compared to others. If Stadia would deliver true and almost flawless 4K gaming to my TV, or rather any device like they said, I wouldn't think twice and simply subscribe to both services.

@Whito @Mad_Dog_Bravo First of all, thank you for engaging in a constructive discussion! Of course, every platform has its downside(s) and there's always some kind of trade-off. I don't expect Stadia to be the one and only perfect platform. Also I don't need to get latest tech and highest specs, that's not what counts for me. But I expect to get what I am promised when I buy something. Nvidia promises flawless 1080p gaming and that's what I get there. It's not perfect, a lot of my games are not supported, but it runs as expected. Stadia promises 60 FPS 4K HDR gaming, but none of the games I played so far delivered such an experience. And that's even though the games come with a hefty console grade price tag. That is quite disappointing. So, a valid reason to stay would be, if Stadia kept their promise and started streaming every game in full detail and 4K HDR to my TV. The sooner the better.
@ChronosPI probably will, thank you. But I'd prefer if Stadia would become what was promised, since I spent money on the Founders Edition and I really like the general idea of a "streaming console". ... See more...
@ChronosPI probably will, thank you. But I'd prefer if Stadia would become what was promised, since I spent money on the Founders Edition and I really like the general idea of a "streaming console".    @WhitoI never play anything competitive anymore since years, so it's true, these issues aren't any concern to me. But if you do, who do you compete with, if there's no player base?

Last time I checked, the Stadia version of Destiny 2 on PC (Chrome) was kinda blurry, had a little delay and a horribly close, fixed field of view, the graphics could not be modified and it felt pretty much empty. A few days ago I tried Destiny 2 on GeForce Now... there's almost no blurriness and no delay, it runs smoothly at over 60 FPS with maximum details and maximum field of view (over 100 FPS with "only" high settings) and it has the player base of the Steam version. This is true for all games that are available. Also there's so many more NEW games available on GFN for the generally lower PC games price tag. And GFN is only 5€ a month this year. The announced 4K HDR @ 60 FPS on the TV is the only thing, GFN is not offering or doing better right now. And that's not even working as promised.. Please, @StadiaTeam , please provide a valid reason to stay on Stadia! Soon!
Awesome. That's the kind of games i signed up for! What more could you ask for than low budget indie games in scaled 4K HDR? Thank you, Stadia!
@Anatema Thank you for acknowledging my intellect, I guess, but who are you and what are you talking about?

@CookieMcCrumbleYea, I'm aware of that (and not buying any digital movies and keeping a downloaded copy of the most important Steam games for that reason) but so far it's much more likely that Stadia shuts down than Steam or Amazon. Istill bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider when it was on sale and I'm enjoying that it looks much smoother than on my PC, even though there's quite a few hiccups. But I honestly don't expect Stadia to last very long from what I've seen and experienced so far.

"Yet at the same time I know that if my pro subscription expires then I will still have access to those games permanently, [...]" I guess by 'permanently' you mean 'as long as Stadia exists'... And that won't be very long if Google doesn't come up with some extremely awesome offers, like must have exclusive games, seriously competitive deals and 99% stable connectivity, before PS5, XBSX and xCloud launch this year..
Pro Deals for 3 games? 3? That's .. it's not even disappointing anymore. It's actually expected at this point... I really hope Stadia will become a success in 2020, but I don't see how, yet..
I got an answer from the Square Enix support. It's a known problem, and there's no ETA on when or if it will be fixed..
I hope so too. The game runs much better than on my PC (opposed to Destiny 2), but I really miss the rumble effect. It adds a lot to the experience for me.
Yes, rumble works fine in Destiny 2 for example. And yes, vibration is activated in the ingame options of SotTR.
To clarify, I'm talking about the Stadia controller and Stadia on Chromecast Ultra.
I played SotTR on Steam and my XB1 Controller went crazy all the time, almost too much rumbling on every corner of the game. Yet on Stadia, there is no noticeable rumble at all, even when the screen ... See more...
I played SotTR on Steam and my XB1 Controller went crazy all the time, almost too much rumbling on every corner of the game. Yet on Stadia, there is no noticeable rumble at all, even when the screen is shaking. Why is that and can I fix it somehow? (Yes, rumble is turned on in game and the controller is working perfectly - it rumbles strongly when I activate it.)

"... remember Google have the hardware, you dont need to upgrade your equippment, ..." @Raymond87I would be more willing to accept this reasoning, if the hardware they provide would actually be as superior as they advertised. So far, the games look no better, in some cases even worse, than on current gen consoles. Destiny 2 for example looks worse on my 4K TV with Stadia (200Mbit ethernet connection) than on my old PC (i5, 1060). I really don't see why I should pay more for getting less.

Stadia is not a console though. On a console - and on a PC -, I can download the game, play it offline and even continue playing it if the shop system and online services shut down some day. Can't do all that on Stadia. So how is that worth the same or even more?

Stadia is charging full price for old games which - on other platforms - already had permanent price drops or are always on sale somewhere and even new games are more expensive. I just got Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition in a sale for about 20€ on Steam. And Darksiders Genesis just released, which costs 30€ on Steam and 40€ on Stadia. Why is that? Is there a valid reason other than "Google likes money"?
That's all good..  but the important question is, when will Red Dead Redemption 2 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider get a Pro discount?
