It’s kind of also due to the “magic” factor of cloud gaming when it works well, which is often the case with Stadia. After being out of gaming for decades the wow factor is even higher
A friend of mine who is a major Xbox gamer tried Stadia recently and he was impressed and said it works and it's smooth. The only negative was games and the lack of some of the biggest names.
Ignore the salty people who speak without knowledge. It’s not click bait. It’s called opening a discussion of what’s happening on metacritic (which is a joke). These same people making the plat rating a 9.5 last I checked
Hey! The biggest problem with reviews is that they can be very subjective. This adds to the inconsistent nature of cloud gaming where performance can differ between platform, game and even time of day. I am sure that the individual reviewers are posting their honest thoughts on the platform, there are plenty of people who think Stadia is a full 10/10, and there are others who want to see more (Or there are some that never want to award 10/10 for anything. Again, subjective.) Sites like Metacritic try and get around that problem by aggregating reviews, since if the majority of people like something then it is probably good, and the same is true of the inverse. However, the recent influx of Stadia scores are disproportionately from a crowd which specifically want Stadia to succeed, and are therefore more likely to leave a favourable review. Basically a form of inorganic growth, this will 'stunt' the Stadia metacritic score and may give a bad impression in the long run. In my opinion, it would have been far better to let Stadia metacritic reviews accumulate organically and naturally, rather than a recent influx overwhelmingly from one specific side.
Hey Sammy that was a great response and well thought out. I do lean to your way of thinking that it was from people that want the platforms to succeed which I don’t mind. To each his own. I’m glad that you saw the video for what it was meant to be and didn’t take it out of context like some.
I have Google TV and I have Stadia and I am impressed and my internet is fair. I have Assassins Creed Valhalla. I bought and boom you are playing it and no load time. I got occasional frame rate drop stutter but it’s my ISP. I am going to use it as a companion service with my Xbox since memory is going to be an issue not an issue in the cloud. I will get Madden and FIFA on Stadia since going to give it to me anyway on Game Pass/EA Play.
@@RicTone I am waiting on a food order and I have a good 5G signal and Assassin Creed played well. If Xbox allows gamers to use their console as a server and play games they own in the cloud that would be a major blow to stadia. Stadia will be good for casual gamers on a budget and stadia will do well expanding into developing countries with a ISP infrastructure. 500 dollars for a game console is a lot

Agreed. There’s nothing to bad not to try it out. Best overall cloud platform IMO
Same thing happen to me. I was impressed. Stadia on Google TV

Great vid ma dude. Stadia is cool but the ratings were a bit high almost comical. It’s headed in a good direction

Yea it can be a great companion to other platforms or main it. As long as you have certain expectations that are reasonable then it’s fine.

@@MrKbg70 yea stadia is very appealing for emerging markets for sure. Xcloud can be a juggernaut in cloud but man it’s spotty for me.
@@RicTone you would think Microsoft would be good at cloud tho ..
stadia has way to much fanboy for nothing
Yea it’s unbearable now. You can’t even joke about things, people instantly get personally offended
@@RicTone preach
