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.
@M0RDECAI13 Oh that's a shame then but oh well and with the naval battles with battlefield 6 there wasn't any in the past couple of games so I'm just going of that really.
I am on the fence with battlefield 6 due to it possibly not having naval battles like the previous game so seeing this I think I'll give it a try but the fast sliding movement was kinda off-putting.
@adderblack39 It's basically graffiti tagging with objectives in areas with stealth, avoiding authorities and rival gangs and engaging in combat when detected plus fighting bosses in a certain area along with climbing, getting over obstacles and what not.
@GamerScore200K I know right, all of my mates kids nag and nag to play it and if they get at least half hour to play it (some do, some don't) all of them just want to use that jet bike thing 😂 which shows how the game got in the state it is in or was in over the years.
But on that note, it will hurt their sales for GTA 6 that's for sure especially if a parent cannot get around it for their kids.
Just another step to a greater initiation which will be censoring and regulating the internet across the board so on that note I've just download Wikipedia outright before they get their mittens on that.
I think Xbox's cloud gaming, in the future, will become some sort of a standard to play my library of game's (which is small) and then if I don't pay for the service or I am randomly in a predicament were i cannot afford to pay for WiFi, I won't be able to access them.
No thank you.
Edit: and that is why my library of games with Xbox is small because i don't want to invest in their possible future ambitions.
I was hoping they would've released some backwards compatibility games that Activision has stored away but their primary focus is promoting games that are just live service, never ending type of games filled with micro-transactions from Activision like Call of Duty & Diablo 4 that keeps you subscribed for longer so on that note, I couldn't care less 😅
I think Call of duty should be cancelled but the live service micro-transactions are more important instead of the games that age well & appreciate over time.

Re: EA To Be Acquired By Consortium Of Investors For $55 Billion USD
I hope battlefield 6 doesn't go south with severe micro-transactions so they can cover that 55 billion purchase because I'm planning on buying it.

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.

Re: Microsoft Explains Why ROG Xbox Ally Price & Pre-Orders Haven't Been Announced Yet
I think so because some other company might have something in the development pipeline like Sony for example but I could be wrong.
Re: Black Ops 7 Launches On Xbox Game Pass This November, Free Beta Plans Detailed
@Tasuki It could be said that this game is the perfect "messed up reality & universe" to cram all the silly micro-transactions in.
Re: Delta Force Release Date, Release Times & Free-To-Play Details On Xbox

Re: Delta Force Release Date, Release Times & Free-To-Play Details On Xbox
@Crookz The video for this game has naval footage.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Hoping To See At Gamescom 2025?
Maybe a quick advertisement piece possibly promoting an elite 3 controller?
