@TrollOfWar Probably naff all because they will have a premium, current gen only game brewing with an up-to-date engine that will attempt to capture some serious mind share from GTA 6 next year.
I assume Black ops 7 is a throwaway product that takes the stress off the developer's shoulders so they can add the extra bells & whistles, people will lap up the new one though and forget about this recent fiasco.
@Markatron84 🤣 spawning endlessly in a cod multiplayer match whilst those appear would lead the brain to fart with no cells left, f-that, no thanks.
At this point, I like to believe they're cooking/developing a good one that will compete for mind share close to when GTA 6 releases and black ops 7 is just a throwaway product to earn some easy money.
When looking at the product history and the releases it's usually the case anyways but I won't be buying this or the future games.
@fatpunkslim Exactly and if it's primarily windows based than that will give them a chance to stop doing it even more but if they can give people the option than that would great but money is money, the cloud is their dream ambition and people obviously buy more games digitally compared to physical so let's see how it goes.
I assume that means more bloated games that are designed for everybody which makes people pay for more in game items and the products/games also make subscribers subscribed for longer because of it.
Good luck with that Microsoft, we don't have the time to waste hundreds upon hundreds of hours into games like Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online never mind new ones.
I'm putting money aside for a new oled TV so it's a no from me but if I wasn't id be contemplating buying one because it isn't a dedicated Xbox software device that plays every single game that I have purchased over the years.
@carlos82 Most of the time, when people use them, it's a form of stressful emotional support that leads to malicious intent all because the pride, ego and a superiority complex someone has in a game has fallen flat.
It sounds nuts and absolutely pathetic but it's a fact because some people are way too emotionally invested in things unfortunately especially competitively.
With the amount of marketing they do for this compared to the console itself, it just shows they really want to drip feed this cloud garbage onto people so it becomes the norm.
Long live the days of blockbuster when getting the games on disc was like three for £20 and they lasted and appreciated that also didn't waste your time with bloat that you know, keeps you subscribed for longer.
So anyone that just plays cod on pc via gamepass will end up paying the cost for it in the space of a few months. There will be some out there that don't buy it and end up paying more for it via the subscription which will be what, £264 for the year?
If these SKUs lower the price on the standard/original rog handhelds I might consider getting one of them and install steamsos but than there is the steam deck with a oled display.
It would be a bargain but it is Asus and the Asus tax after all so chances are probably slim.
@Sir_Bobbins I'd like to guess they may reduce the price on the standard rog models which would than put the rog xbox ally x at the current price of the original products so if it is the case you may get one of them cheaper but it's Asus after all.
For the price and the performance of the product the people that can't get these devices should just get a cheap second hand series x or a brand new series s and a cheap 4k TV.
Jeez, you could get games pass, dominos, some Doritos and plenty of other things as well.
The developer isn't wrong about that, my mate never ever sticks to one game and completes it, I think its five games he plays or something like that in a week, sometimes he will do a new save on Skyrim or whatever (chuff that) so seeing that i just have one game downloaded whereas my mate has like thirty downloaded but i suppose having a selection of games ready to play is great an everything.
@Kaloudz Well compared to todays standards definitely not but if you have an old system it would be best to just randomly find it in a charity shop or something or just emulate it to be honest until this package comes out.
So we have to pay a subscription to play console only games that we have purchased over the years and those games are only available through the cloud.
Its kind of bad to be honest, especially for those that have never used a pc for gaming because the amount of games on the xbox pc app compared to the console store is quiet small and not all of them are on the "play anywhere" programme.

Re: ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Gets Official October 2025 Release Date
@Millionski "and even 5% of your library with play anywhere is better than 0 with steam deck if you have not used steam before"
Yeah agreed, it will be hard choice for any console gamer then when it comes to software (game's).
Re: ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Gets Official October 2025 Release Date
@Weebleman Yeah good shout but then it could be said, getting a steam deck oled instead would be the wiser option.
Edit: especially if one doesn't care about specs, graphics and high framerates.
