Quoting: SchattenspiegelAs long as they want the digits upfront they can keep their trial as far as I am concerned.

I was able to use a gift card that has a few pennies on it. Then I later on cashed in some Google Pay/Play cards that I had from a local FGC event that I attended.

4K is available via Chrome if you have a 4K display that's likely just outdated information. I can confirm I was one of the ones to get native 1440P in some games so that support is coming. The stadia+ extension still works for forcing 4K on non-4K displays.

^ This. I've been enjoying the 2 months free. I also picked up MK11 and everything looks great.

• Zombie Army 4: Dead War - Stadia

Every Saturday night, I been playing this game with friends online. We are almost at the end together and are all rank 50+. It's an excellent game and it seems to be the one that is going to keep many of my friends on Stadia for some time to come.

• Skullgirls - Steam

With locals canceled, EVO 2020 taking place online and SG being one of the games features for open tournaments everyone that I know into this game is now online via of Steam and shooting invites left and right. They also recently updated the game. Been having fun playing this one with my kids. Those of them still living with me and my other kids with their own family living afar.

• Mortal Kombat 11 - Stadia

This game was on sale recently for $30 on Stadia and thanks to some of them help I got here from the forums and via of reddit I was able to get all of my Gpay cards that I had over the years activated even though some of them were long pass the expiration date. This game has been great. Loving the SP content and played a few matches with 2 of my friends that also picked it up. My wife is a big fan of the MK 1 to 3 with MK 2 being her personal favorite so she has been playing this one often with me.

• Mortal Kombat 4 - GOG

Wine - Picked this up when it dropped on GOG and playing this one exclusively with my wife. My main is Tanya and hers is Scorpion. We have a little dry erase board with some tallies on who's the top. I'm getting rocked 34 to 6.

• Streets of Rage 4 - GOG

Wine - Unlocked everything in this game and the entire house is playing this one. We've even got some online matches working via of Parsec thanks to a Windows server at my job acting as host. I hope when the Linux native version drops there is a way to get it up and running using Steam Remote Play as a non-Steam game...if not Parsec is fine and lag free so far.

• Geneshift: Battle Royale Turbo - Steam

This game went free recently but I already had a copy from before and now all of my family is on it. We just started playing this together on Friday but we are setting up matches for tonight and Thursday night after work for everyone.

Quoting: robvvMy daughter and I are not allowed to play Skullgirls any more... my wife say we get way too competitive ;-)

LOL This game is the same way in my house. One of my daughter is KING of this game around these parts and we best come with it or don't bother picking up that gamepad at all.

Quoting: DrakkerWorks marvellously well for me too through proton.

What about loading times?

The GOG version has no loading times. It's super fast.

Been having a lot of fun on Stadia. It works automatically with my Logitech F310 and my Hori RAP 4 KAI which are both wired.

I've recently been learning to play games online since all local events are cancelled and having friends over is a not an option.

• Streets of Rage 4 - GOG powered by WINE and Lutris

I played a lot of brawlers buy mostly from the arcades and computer scene and not from the home consoles eras until Raspberry Pi debuted and I started making home arcades then Steam came out with the DRM-FREE debut of SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics. I loved the Streets of Rage series from that and I also love the freeware Streets of Rage Remake. One of the main reasons I started using WINE back in the day is to play MUGEN and Beats of Rage. SoR4 is EXCELLENT. Works via of Lutris perfectly. This is going to be one of those games that is always going to be installed when I make a new rig or upgrade. Great job.

• Destiny 2 - Stadia

Taking advantage of their free trial and I am greatly impressed with it. Been playing this since Friday with 3 other friends and we are having a blast and very surprised at how good Stadia is overall. Don't care much for the quest stuff but the PVP is a lot of fun.

• Zombie Army 4: Dead War - Stadia

This one has to be the most fun game so far. Again playing it with 3 friends and it's been awesome. I've also gotten pretty far solo since starting on Friday.

• Dual Souls: The Last Bearer - Steam

My kids love Skullgirls so much that they have become masters at it to the point where this old man is lucky to some hits in while they practice dummy me into the pieces. We picked this one up awhile back when it was on sale. The game is surprisingly good for an indie fighter and the netcode is decently. It also works outside of Steam for those of you like me that want save all of their LOCAL MP games just in case.

• Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - Stadia

Picked this one up along with my 3 of my friends and started playing at the tail end of 2 am to 4 am. It's pretty fun and again runs amazingly. The co-op mode is all for this one.

• The King of Fighters '98: The Slugfest - Fightcade

One of my favorite games of the series. I have almost all of the SNK releases that have come to computer (including the boxed stuff from the 90's and 00's) with the exception KOF XIV which just went to GOG recently so it's on my wishlist. Been playing this one online via of Fightcade and Parsec (Windows job server hosting). I've had some excellent matches with long time friends and met some new people in my area that were bummed about locals going down and go about 20+ matches going this week.

• Mortal Kombat 3 - GOG powered by WINE

Don't own UMK3 but been using this via of Parsec to play with friends online and it's been great. I'm a sucker for MK 1 to UMK3. My wife loves playing this one also so it's been a game we play often as of late. I tried to get the linux native dosbox working with this one but could not get it running properly for some reason. Using default wine just works.

Zombie Army 4 is excellent. Going to see if my wife likes it so that she can get off of L4D2 and give it a spin.

Quoting: SuperTuxAnyone using Stadia + Chrome extension?I found it made a big difference to me.

???

So I signed up and have played all of the free games on Stadia via of the Chrome Browser on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

It's not bad but I don't see myself being OK with paying $ and not getting binaries. I will say I did like playing Destiny 2 multiplayer mode. I do not like any of the other aspects of the game. No solo mode like other online games of this nature. Serious Sam is OK but I have these already via of GOG and so it was OK. I played some Zombie Army 4 Dead War, I like it but it seems like micro-transaction hell when you go into the game menus.

All of the games have visual tearing - not sure if I can get rid of that or not.
