Google Stadia 7 months later: Is it worth it?

1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

   Thanks and God bless!

2. I hope production of physical copies of games is not stopped

3. I managed to pick up a Premium bundle (controller and Chromecast Ultra) for free a couple months ago and while I don't play on it much, I've not had any real complaints other than the occasional issues with my bandwidth (usually caused by my wife's Netflix use).
   My main issue, really, is that I'm loathe to spend money buying games on the service with Google having such a history of killing off services. I like to know that I'll always be able to play my games (why I mostly pick up physical over digital) and I don't want to buy Stadia games to have them just vanish on me at some point. Although I have to admit I did drop a tenner on AC Syndicate a couple weeks back.

   I also think the library of games could do with a bit more variety too but I guess that'll come with time

   (Thank Mr Mobile for sending me your way from his most recent vid 😉)

4. Just by looking on the level of your enthusiasm while reviewing tells me really not to get it.

5. shush

6. How do I get a black controller with orange accents? Just Black is too boring and Cleary White is not it, or wasabi.

7. how ironic this is 7 months ago (credit to Tyler Mobley)

8. I want to try but if have to pay 9$ for the trial…….
   My internet is not that fast.
   This is a good service but for multiplayer games.

9. RIP PS5 and Xbox Series X

10. I played 8 hours of Destiny 2 with no problem.

11. ISP Data Caps increase the cost of Stadia, I just got a Free One and had to stop using it to not go over Xfinity's Data Caps for their $35/month plan at 100MB/sec

12. Verdict: buy stadia if u have Ethernet or fast WiFi that’s like mine. Also the f ur mobile gamer make sure to use pixel 5

13. It killed my grandmother, Her heart machine lagged.

14. i mean.. who would use a metered connection for this anyway, its a dump idea

15. Bruh i hate google i hope their whole company crumble and they all get cancer

16. Wait its been out!?

17. Who's here after youtube premium gave the stadia for free

18. Here's the issue you do something on screen ie you turn left that data is sent to the gaming companies servers and processed this is your download/upload speed and latency let's say that's 1GBps and 1ms the server reaches it and then uploads the new action of you turning left to your screen however let's say they have 1GBps but have a 50ms ping (latency) in total to turn left that =51ms total and so you cannot control this on your end it's up to the gaming companies who almost always have shitty servers been like that for years on pc and console. Because the company is not 1ms like your home wifi it doesn't matter that you have 1ms because you'll get a 50ms back. It also works the other way your wifi could be 57ms but the company is 3ms that's a total of 60ms delay that in our case is the fault of your wifi if your wifi was 1ms then its the 3ms company lag that is their fault etc.

19. Mine cost me nothing

20. One of the things that is amazing about Stadia that no one really discusses is the fact that is a perfectly blend of PC/Console gaming. What other service can you effectively use a keyboard/mouse input or a controller input (including controllers from other consoles)? There isn't a console that makes sense to own Football Manager on, yet, I own it on Stadia where I also can play Assassin's Creed.

    Other notes of review:

    ~ It works great on my 200mbps internet.
    ~ I have a Stadia controller on the way but it has somehow been working amazingly with an old PS3 DualShock controller just plugged in via USB. Incredibly, the controls on the screen adapt to whatever controller you are using. Even my old DualShock. This makes it SO easy to switch controllers.
    ~ I am buying the Stadia gear now, but I have been playing it for months now with $0 invested which is just an amazing way to try out a system. Imagine if Sony lent you a PS3 for three months before you decided to buy?
    ~ Stadia's Stream Connect is a game-changing feature. If enabled in the game (I have used it in The Crew 2) you can add up to 3 friends in multiplayer and then on the right-hand side of the screen, you can see their screens. So, you can all be in a race or a demo derby and you can literally glance over and screen peek. This is more cool than useful in a racing game but in a multiplayer shooter it could be invaluable to see where your friends are and what they are doing so you can cooperate at a higher level.

21. You kidding me? Stadia is exactly like Netflix.

22. I just received it for free because of premium member

23. Google are literally giving away the controller and Chromecast ultra with a month's free pro now! I've claimed mine, even if I don't use the controller I'll probably use the free Chromecast.

24. Got this free with my YouTube Premium so just seeing if its cool

25. I got this for free and checking it out before I get it, it ran good on my phone now waiting for the device

26. I have a Android tv , Philips 65 inch , i play geforce now directly in the tv, with no latancy, pefect result, why cant i do that with stadia, do i have to buy chromecast ultra

27. For stadia i need bongkers speed internet and money to burn when the service is dead. For games i am more optimistic towards apple arcade

28. Will this be the death knell for console gaming?

29. I tried this product out and I have good internet but it is really unplayable with all the input lag and the pixelated screen

    3/10
    Not worth it in my opinion

30. Wait a minute…this is Mr Mobiles living room!

31. Those 12 games are average. Not worth wasting time to even try for free.

32. Short answer: NO Long answer: HELL NO

33. i feel like this is cool for those causal players who dont wanna buy a console or anymore money on a pc but wanna play the latest story game like red dead or Doom and from what ive seen streaming most singleplayer games looks pretty decent and maybe are easier to stream than a multiplayer online game when its online and being streamed idk but yeah my own thoughts

34. Stadia needs to somehow become the Netflix of gaming . That is the only way people are going to shift away from consoles/PCs. Otherwise it will fail even if Stadia is good.

35. Streaming a Game is bullshit real gamers use hard driver

36. Google Stadia is a no no for a 3rd world country. lol

37. why buy stadia when you can literally just buy a game pad and a gaming phone and install game emulators on it?

38. This wasn't a reaction from Google they had this planned for years ever since Onlive

39. I play stadia as I got the division 2, assassin's creed odyssey and tomb raider for £20 all together basically, I like playing on mh phone with my kishi which is what I use stadia for and I usually have a good experience I get soem frame rate drops every now Nd then etc but it works better than xcloud at the moment for me personally so I can't complain to much its a good service but it just needs more games and better deals to be marketable to people. I mean £50 for doom eternal when it's on game pass it's obscene to me

40. Are…. are you Quentin Tarantino son?

41. It works great for me!

42. lol Cyberpunk is not going to be running at 4k 60 on Stadia, even Shadow of the tomb raider can only do 30fps and Doom Eternal cant do 4k it is upscalled from 1800p and that is one of the most optimised games (my old 1070ti could run it in 4k). Plus they don't even have Ray Tracing capabilities yet so you will be missing out on so much in Cyberpunk, i'll stick with my Rtx 3080 for Cyerpunk.

43. So your telling me all I need is a controller and a chromecast and wifi to play any games?

44. okbaby toroymoi factorio

45. Now introducing the new xstation14 controller

46. 7:04 – Asking for new beta users. NO!
