It definitely makes me curious about the Stadia experience and whether that is indeed different.

Maybe the forum could attempt to dig deeper into the experiences of those who use Stadia compared to the rest of us to see if indeed there is a difference.
Until you mentioned this I had a hard time understanding just how JandK could think this movement system was good when it seems so obviously flawed. My experience is like yours, the best way I can describe the chain is that it feels "sticky" or slack when it should be tight and responsive (which is how JandK tends to describe it). I also find it much less precise and less responsive compared to how it worked in DOS II where I found it curious but not unworkable.
