So I tried some of those, and hey, no installation, straight into the game it's like a corporation didn't lie to me for once.
GYLT HIGH SCHOOL PRO
Whatever there's still a bunch of free games thrown in with the Pro subscription.
You ever take a look around and think about what your entertainment options would be reduced to if your Internet was down and your hard drives were wiped? I'd just have to watch my Columbo box set over and over again, or read a book, like a fucking caveman. Not sure why maybe it's 'cos we never get to be so much as in the same postcode as the data, and if our Internet goes down, we essentially paid sixty bucks to sit imagining how much fun it would be to play Doom Eternal. In Stadia's case, it certainly can't come from selling games, 'cos there's only, like, nine on there incidentally, having to pay sixty bucks on top of the subscription to play Doom Eternal does feel like a taking of the piss, jaded consumer drone though I am. So maybe Stadia isn't catching on so well because people find it hard to get invested without being able to choose their console's colour or cover it in unicorn stickers.Īt any rate, I signed up for the Stadia Pro first month free trial - for what is modern life if not one first month free trial after another? - remembering to put a reminder on my calendar because 90% of the income these subscription services generate comes from people forgetting to unsubscribe before the month is up. It's in a basement at Google somewhere, and they use the heat coming off it to dry their socks. But then again, it's not like there's no console at all you're just not allowed to touch it.
GYLT HIGH SCHOOL HOW TO
And as for high-end gaming PCs, it's like they took the monolith from 2001 and decorated it for Christmas, and now I have to figure out how to arrange my office around it.
Having to own a console is kind of a pain in the arse when they're expensive and ugly, and you could be using the shelf space for your child's yearbook or a charcuterie board.
GYLT HIGH SCHOOL SERIAL
So the PS5 is going to be a souped-up PS4 that looks like someone sat on a giant liquorice allsort, and the Xbox is just going to keep adding X's to its name like a serial divorcee, but who fucking cares? Why are we still tethering huge plastic bricks to televisions like millstones around the neck of the future?! It's 2020, for fuck's sake! We should be downloading multicoloured tech-dreams from cyberspace to our holographic skateboards! That's why, now we're between big release periods, I felt it was time to give Google Stadia a go: a console without a console, where all you need is a net connection and a login, and games are streamed to you with no installation required, which you'd think people would be more excited about. This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee reviews Google Stadia.
