Trying GFN at the moment and if I have to relogin from inside GFN (including 2FA) into Uplay or Epic using a gamepad once more I'm going to blow a gasket. The gently caress is this poo poo.

GFN comes with a big loving asterisk where you can eventually play your library, but drat, good luck with that!

The gently caress is this poo poo. So this is an epic problem and imo it’s a big one. I have a dedicated windows handheld that runs windows and no poo poo I have to log into the epic store nearly every time I load the fuckin thing up from a fresh boot on my hotspot. Like I have 2FA on just stay the gently caress logged in! Epic also logs me out on my desktop machine on the regular too. It’s annoying as piss.

Ah yes, we're in an age when the most popular games are no longer the most graphically intensive, as kids love Fortnite, Minecraft, and indie games, but sure, pushing graphical fidelity further and further is clearly the correct decision. Can't wait to see those incredible games that "blow my mind in beauty, vastness and interactions with AIs" after multiple years of pointless developer crunch and burning millions of dollars, ala Star Citizen!

Yeah, I was very interested and preordered the Founder whatitwas, but cancelled a few days before launch when I caught up with the launch lineup in particular and business model in general. Given Google's resources and being a new player in the (serious) gaming scene, it seemed really unfathomable that they had no apparent killer apps ready on launch day.

If Google would actually commit to stuff they might make something people want to use. Nobody bought into Stadia cause everyone knew they’d just abandon it. That and you had to actually buy the games lol.

Don’t forget they wanted devs to port their game to a specific flavour of Lunix in an industry where being mildly more aggravating to work on than your competitors is instant death.

The one thing that stadia did get right was the one click it took to get into a game. It was simple and it just worked. Gamepass pretty much does that now but GFN still has a ways to go.

GFN and the like (at least to my knowledge) do not have that problem.

Here's hoping that means the 3080s will get pushed down to the lower tier. There is no way I'm paying €120 every 6 months for RTX on some games.

MarcusSA posted:No idea how actually true this latency statement is but it’s getting pretty good. That statement doesn't mean poo poo. I absolutely that you can get less button-to-pixel latency out of GFN... if you are close to a data center running on a computer monitor vs an Xbox running on a slow TV with all the pay processing turned on. Yeah, if you aren't specifying test conditions and stacking the entire deck in your favor, you can probably get those results. This is coming from the same company that claimed a 4070Ti is 'up to 3x' the performance of a 3090, when it's actually much closer to 0.95x 'faster' when you run it in a like for like test.

Between the constant nested logins, keyboard reverting back to another layout and the lack of support for my PS4 dualshock controller I'm starting to hate GFN with a passion. Stadia was so much easier it's not even funny. gently caress YOU GOOGLE, gently caress YOU.

I've found GFN not nearly as painful with constant log ins, but the saves not transferring on some games is nuts. Metro Last Light was great fun on my tablet, but I wanted to jump back onto my desktop and discovered how buggered I was!

The moment of closure has been declared: January 18th, 11:59pm PT. If you haven't carted your progress from Stadia over to other versions of any games you might have there, that Verge article summarizes your options, but to summarize them further: Cyberpunk 2077: Pull 'em out through Google Takeout Destiny 2: Turn on cross-save before the final moments Hitman 3: Link to an IOI account in preparation for a progression carryover to any other platform Elder Scrolls Online: Just download the client for PC and log into your account and carry on. Ubisoft: Link your accounts before the shutdown to get uPlay versions This Thread: Probably best to send it off to its final resting place after the final hour.

Feels like a race between Amazon Luna and GFN, where the former might not get enough AAA games and the latter will keep price gouging and also lose more AAA games.

A Tragedy for those devs though, imagine being asked to make games and then getting the rug pull because Google didn't understand how games worked.
