Elder Scrolls Online On Stadia - Should You Play It?
With ESO hitting Stadia recently, we've been playing the MMO on the new platform. The question remains - should you?

I am on the opposite, I think the goal in the future would be to improve this technology to hopefully get more people access to higher end games without the full expensive of own computers. Having more access to people that may not be able to. The technology is not perfect by any means as highlighted above but this is a stepping stone. The exclusivity is a different issue though I would say.

I agree. Stuff like this is a game changer for a lot of people with crappy computers. But Stadia still needs a lot of work to get there.
Another really good gaming streaming service is Nvidia Geforce Now. I've recommended it to two of my friends and they love it because they can finally play games with me that normally would never run on their computers. Geforce needs a lot of work too, but giving alternatives for people who are much poorer is a nice thing.
No, doesn't look like it since you're playing using Stadia's servers, not your own PC. I wonder if that would be something that they add in the future - though since Google's services are involved, probably not.
1. Talk in guild chat
2. Manage AH and bank
3. Crafting
4. Trivia game things like collecting daily login rewards
5. Playing minor content like holiday events
Thats what GFN did for me with ESO. I could sit on the couch with my wife. Watching TV while I did these little things. Also when I was looking after my parents place when they were away. I could play ESO on my mom's crappy laptop by logging into GFN. These services go beyond not having a good PC.
I use Stadia, Xcloud and I tried Gforce Now. . also Playstation Now. They all ran well. Gforce Now worked very well for me I would almost never play a game remotely that I already own.
XCloud and Stadia both work great for me. Stadia works super well and looks good but was disappointing because it should look better than the competition. Playstation Now has improved a lot and is starting to offer better games.
I jump on these things whenever there is a promo to try them out. The only game that I am interested in playing on console AND PC is maybe Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but I got a super deal on Xbox that Stadia just recently came close to.
For me. . if Xcloud becomes part of GamePass then there is no turning back for me.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
? I have unlimited bandwith. I am hoping the future will have unlimited plans be the norm.
So all these streaming services are too little, too late for me. But hey good for you guys that get some use out of it.

The controller bit is misguided. You CAN use any controller type with the chrome browser. It was advertised that way. PlayStation and xbox controllers cant work with chromecast because theyre not wifi controllers.
The 4k claim is also unfortunately industry standard. Most games on current gen consoles cant handle true 4k they too upscale. Where performance is concerned its hard to believe the claim ESO cant handle 60 fps or higher settings because it looks subpar compared to RDR2 and definitely is not as high quality as DOOM Eternal. I think they released early with a plan to keep iterating.
I didnt pay for it on Steam. I claimed it as my free Stadia Pro game. Because I own Greymore and have ESO+ I get access to all the content on my phone.
I will also sometimes boot it up on my work computer..,. because I can, and its here where you can see the limitations like the lower resolution. But what pains me more is the combination of using the console interface and lack of add ons. It felt like I had to learn the game all over again, but became capable enough to enjoy it.
Baldurs Gate III for Stadia will be a day one purchase for me.
I hope it does well. Why not allow people play eso on any system? Oh wait I forgot...Have to have master race...Viper are the kind of people that forget to breath and die. "I shudder to think about the incompetence of some people." Game on! Doesn't matter what system its on.
my friend and his gf are big eso fans but because they are students, they can only afford one gaming pc, now with stadia the other one can play ESO on chromebook and for the first time in ages, they can play together.
it's not about top quality graphics, it's about accessibility.
