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.
@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.

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

@Crookz The video for this game has naval footage.

If anything it should be black ops 3.
Re: Talking Point: What Should Xbox Do To Celebrate Its 25th Anniversary Next Year?
Announce that gold will be returning for those that don't want the standard gamepass subscription or gamepass at all.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Hoping To See At Gamescom 2025?
Maybe a quick advertisement piece possibly promoting an elite 3 controller?
