Then why are you playing console games then?Correct.
This post got me.
Are you a console shill?Google are still paying for Stadia shills?
i call bullshit. the icon has monitor and keyboard but only his monitor disappears. nice try
Are you a console shill?
I think of it as a problem to a solution that already exists.I feel like cloud gaming is an answer to a problem that doesn't exist.
PS Now is their Stadia and it isn’t praised at all.IF SONY RELEASED STADIA, 90% OF THIS FORUM, WILL PRAISE IT HIGHLY.
Its a fix to a problem that exist now, and existed for a long time.I think of it as a problem to a solution that already exists.
They treat it as a turd. Only recently they started to release good games.PS Now is their Stadia and it isn’t praised at all.
Do they need to be always online to play a game?Then why are you playing console games then?
They need internet for update, download games, and patches.
You still have to use the internet.
Man, the logic you guys sometimes is amuzing.
Where are these 3 billion gamers that were waiting for the solution of cloud gaming? They're still on their phone playing candy crush while commuting and they'll stay there because they don't care about anything else. Stadia and all the other similar services have failed because they're directly competing with the same market as consoles/ PCs where they pale in comparison. There are no 3 billion gamers, that's PR bullshit.Its a fix to a problem that exist now, and existed for a long time.
Gaming are becoming more widespread than ever. You need to accommodate for all these people who wants to game.
Last year, there was 3billion gamers. Consoles on last gen, released around 250m consoles, counting the current consoles. The old console owners will buy the new gen consoles.
So how do you attract the remaining gamers?
Answer is cloud gaming. All you need a is a laptop or normal pc, that isn't a gaming. Or a smart tv, like android tv. Make an app, or a browser support, and you could potentially reach 500m gamers this war.
Pc is 700m gamers according to Intel. Steam has 120m. There are places where steam isn't that big. China and Asia are huge pc players, who play games from their country.
Here is one of most popular Asian game.

There is also Asian mmo, which doesn't have English support. Phantasy online is one of them. There are tons of Chinese fps, and mmo games, which doesn't have English support.
Most mmo are Asian games, and the popular in the west are those from Asia who have English support. Bdo, blade and soul, ff14.
Most of these games aren't even on consoles.
We say COD is big. But in reality its tiny to compared to the long running franchise of pc fps. Consoles makes them sound a bigger game.
These are the people who would like to play cloud gaming. It let's them play games, which they couldn't afford to play, due to consoles not available to them.
Yes. For cloud savings, for patches, for subscription games, you need it for online games.Do they need to be always online to play a game?
No. I said ALWAYS online. Which is what you need for cloud gaming. There are far more games to play that don't require an internet connection at all than do.Yes. For cloud savings, for patches, for subscription games, you need it for online games.
Turn off you wifi, and see if you can play the games that I mentioned.
Current consoles are becoming more and more dependent on internet.
That is not what he asked and you know it. You are manipulating your answer to a question that was not asked. It is cool if you like Stadia and streaming but you seem to be going after anyone that doesn't praise it.Yes. For cloud savings, for patches, for subscription games, you need it for online games.
That was a real controller ?
So you are saying those gamers should stick to their shitty phones.Where are these 3 billion gamers that were waiting for the solution of cloud gaming? They're still on their phone playing candy crush while commuting and they'll stay there because they don't care about anything else. Stadia and all the other similar services have failed because they're directly competing with the same market as consoles/ PCs where they pale in comparison. There are no 3 billion gamers, that's PR bullshit.
I also think you're an astroturfer so it's kind of a meaningless discussion, but I replied anyway.
Post your paid Google content here.
Tell me what games doesn't need internet to play, aside of SP games?That is not what he asked and you know it. You are manipulating your answer to a question that was not asked. It is cool if you like Stadia and streaming but you seem to be going after anyone that doesn't praise it.
No, I'm saying these gamers will and already are stuck with their shitty phones because that's what they like.So you are saying those gamers should stick to their shitty phones.
It’s like the argument that 50% of gamers are female. *cough* *cough* , if you count candy crush and FarmVille etc maybe. Core games are male dominated to practically a unanimous majority.Where are these 3 billion gamers that were waiting for the solution of cloud gaming?

SP games make up the VAST majority of games. Even if that weren't true... You still don't need an ALWAYS online connection to play games on a console. Outside of multiplayer of course.Tell me what games doesn't need internet to play, aside of SP games?
How is my answer manipulating his question?
I'm not trying to be mean but that is a dumb question. Again, you are manipulating posts to look for some kind of victory that isn't there. I guess the only answer I can give you is most every single player game can be played offline console/PC and zero can be played offline streaming.Tell me what games doesn't need internet to play, aside of SP games?
That is not what he asked and you know it. You are manipulating your answer to a question that was not asked. It is cool if you like Stadia and streaming but you seem to be going after anyone
IsntSP games make up the VAST majority of games. Even if that weren't true... You still don't need an ALWAYS online connection to play games on a console. Outside of multiplayer of course.
Is candy crush a billion user game?No, I'm saying these gamers will and already are stuck with their shitty phones because that's what they like.
My mother is one of them. Try and convert her from candy crush to a stadia subscription, I'd like to see it.
Me posting from Asia...Majority of mobile gamers are Asians. And in Asia, moms wont play candy crush. Its mostly teenagers and adults who don't a gaming system. India and China are major mobile gamers. The consoles aren't that much available in these countries.
There is no one here looking for a victory. You decided to join this conversation as some kind of hero.I'm not trying to be mean but that is a dumb question. Again, you are manipulating posts to look for some kind of victory that isn't there. I guess the only answer I can give you is most every single player game can be played offline console/PC and zero can be played offline streaming.
And he asked his question, which i then answered to thisThen why are you playing console games then?

There was no dodge or anything.Yes. For cloud savings, for patches, for subscription games, you need it for online games.

I would have been banned by now dude.I wonder if the 10 cents per post he's getting from Google are worth it?
Unless they are the ones paying for your hobbies, grow a fucking spine and spend your money on what you want.no way to justify gaming gear to family members
Me posting from Asia...
Fortnite, warzone, MP games, f2p make up the most of consoles.SP games make up the VAST majority of games. Even if that weren't true... You still don't need an ALWAYS online connection to play games on a console. Outside of multiplayer of course.
I'm so sick of this conspiracy BS. Not everything Sony does is a hit here or anywhere else.IF SONY RELEASED STADIA, 90% OF THIS FORUM, WILL PRAISE IT HIGHLY.
Its more about the attitude. Not whether Sony would release it or not.I'm so sick of this conspiracy BS. Not everything Sony does is a hit here or anywhere else.
The way this comment is thrown about anytime anything is criticized, you'd think GAF was full of PS Now evangelists, not GamePass ones.
Guess what. PlayStation has been doing game streaming long before Google or Microsoft. It's not talked about much on here because video game streaming is not desired by anyone serious about gaming, which makes up 95% of the boards here.
Unless they are the ones paying for your hobbies, grow a fucking spine and spend your money on what you want.
Or ditch the people in your life who won't accept you and your hobbies.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHi fellow gamers!
I wanted for some time to write this but was always overwhelmed by the GAF negativity on the subject.
A bit of background before: I am in my 40s and have been a gamer all my life. Started with a Commodore-like computer running Basic games in the post-communist Romania.
Upgraded to a 386 and then AMD 486 barely running Diablo I. It was a PC-driven gaming life since then until family "struck" and I had no time for complex gaming anymore. That's when I bought my Wii followed by the WiiU. Simple and fast-paced fun made me a Nintendo fanboy. Unfortunately the WiiU was a marketing disaster and nobody (besides me apparently) played those great games on the platform. Then the Switch arrived and I have tried with all my power to justify buying and replaying all those WiiU games but couldn't do it. For me, the Switch is dead and I had to find something else but couldn't return to the PC building mess or next-gen nowhere-to-find PS5 (fukin hate Xobox).
This brings me to the point of this topic: gaming on Stadia. I remember dreaming in the 2000's about playing on a powerful server somewhere on the net, me only owning a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Unfortunately the 56k dial-up connection was far from capable of anything like this so it remained just a dream until...3 months ago when I have tried Stadia. The setup was kinda clumsy: Samsung S20 Android phone with Stadia app, Usb-c to hdmi adapter for TV connection and WiiU Pro controller. I was not satisfied with the experience but I could see it is working. After a few days switched to a laptop with HDMI output but it did not have V9 hardware decoding so there was no 4K and I wanted to have that. Still the free games received with the Pro subscription were playable and kinda fun. I found that one of my home laptops had V9 decoding and from that moment I was sold - 4k gaming altho the old hdmi port was old and did not support HDR. Since then I did some more improvements and rigtht now I am happy with Stadia.
Here it is:
• Chromecast with google tv
• Gigabit internet connection (yeah here is cheap - 40RON (10 USD/month)
• Motrix USB-C hub with Power Delivery for ethernet and the adapter
• 8bitdo USB adapter
• PS5 Dualsense connected to the 8bitdo adapter
• 5.1 sound system with ARC
• 65” B9 OLED
Right now I’m playing Tomb Rider 20 years celebration and Farcry 5 at 4K@60hz, HDR and 5.1 sound. Works as advertised.
What is your Stadia setup?
I know I’m just saying that PS Now isn’t praised here even though it’s Sony’s Stadia, and more.They treat it as a turd. Only recently they started to release good games.
They don't have a better infrastructure to support their cloud gaming like stadia, Luna, or xcloud being supported.
Most of their investments goes to their console.
Op stadia is great. Kids here have no idea how good it is.
They are just too much spoiled, that anything that isn't Sony/Nintendo or master race Pc is a trash to them.
They hate cloud gaming, because of their perceived notion, that it will fail.
They have no idea console majority are very tiny.
3 billion gamers last year, and you have 89m switch, 116m ps4, 53m xbox1, 10m ps5, 6m XSx/X. That is how low numbers these guys are.
Cloud gaming is very good, and pretty much future proof.
I had fun playing cyberpunk2077 on stadia, than my pc.
IF SONY RELEASED STADIA, 90% OF THIS FORUM, WILL PRAISE IT HIGHLY.
My only gripe with stadia is Google. Their impatient causes their good product to rot.
I will always support systems that let's majority of people play video games, without spending 500$ for an entry to play limited games. If that device gets broken, you have to spend another 500$ again.
