Re: Hands On: Black Ops 7 Is Amazing On The ROG Xbox Ally X, As Long As You're Not Offline

Pigrotto

thanks for the article.

my favorite game at the moment is Diablo 4 and as you already know is a GAAS, a Live Service game.
so as you understand I'm in a similar position.
I tried alternatives off-line like Last Epoch but it's not quite the same.

so, wasn't a Diablo 4 off-line experience impossible to build? too much efforts and resources involved?
I don't know, of course, but the same it should be said for CoD campaign.

hello fellow gamers and good morning 🌅

this week I played on Steam:

much Diablo 4: I have a complicated relationship with this game, and from time to time I'm dragged towards it 🤷‍♂️

then I tried a game called Silent Hope: very charming I may say; it is a dungeon crawling title from the East.

I wish you all a great weekend full of games and peace 💚

Re: A Month Later, The ROG Xbox Ally X Has Totally Changed My Gaming Habits

@FraserG
Great Article, thank you.
I still have an old Rog Ally Extreme (we may say the former generation) but I'm saving money for the new Rog Xbox Ally X.
so I totally get what you are saying.
my only little complaint is that I would have preferred a 8" display with the same resolution (just my opinion).

thanks again to all the Staff for the incredible work you do everyday at PureXbox 💚

Re: ASUS Explains Why The ROG Xbox Ally Doesn't Have An OLED Screen

Pigrotto

I have a Rog Ally Extreme and the display looks and works very well, in my opinion.
so I do agree with their position for the Rog Xbox Ally.

said that I would have appreciated a model with 8" display.
but I suspect I'm the minority here.

anyway I will look closely to the Lenovo Legion Go 2 too (no release date yet).

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying The 2025 Xbox Handheld From ASUS?

Pigrotto

I had a SteamDeck, now gifted to a friend in need.
however I still own a Rog Ally Extreme, and I'm waiting for the next wave of Windows handheld devices.
if the "xbox version" is more powerful I will buy it instead of the Rog Ally 2.
sometime I just want to play on my bed... I'm a very lazy person.

said that I would love a 8" display so I'm keeping an eye on the Legion GO 2 too.

as a related thought, I do prefer SteamOS to Windows, problem is only a fraction of my Steam library runs on SteamOS (that is based on Linux and have to use Proton compiler).
I went so far as installing a SteamOS fork (Bazzite) on my Rog Ally Extreme and it runs flawlessly.

P.S.
I forgot to write many publishers or studios block their games on SteamOS especially if there is an online competitive portion allegedly for security purposes.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your New Year's Gaming Resolutions?

Pigrotto

happy new year to everyone 🎊

first I'm looking forward to play a bit of my huge catalog of games 😅
then I really hope to finish IMMORTALS Fenyx Rising with my little nephew.

on Steam I'm playing Gears Tactics that I found really really good.

have a good day you all ☀️

hello 🙂
this summer I gifted my nephew a Series X so often I go to his house with my Rog Ally Extreme and we play together, in particular Super Animal Royale.

plus I bought him Immortals: Fenyx Rising and I'm helping him in his playthrough.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend full of peace and games ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Re: Soapbox: Four Years On, I'm Already Nostalgic For The Early Xbox Series X|S Era

Pigrotto

First and most important I want to thank all the PureXbox writers for the egregious work they did.
I read your articles every day and I will continue to do so.

as for the nostalgia the only thing I'm going to say it is that I'm 47yo so... I know pretty well the feeling

in my opinion the Xbox Series X delivered in every level.
yes some publishers weren't on board (especially Japanese ones) but we have a long story to discuss here and personally I don't think it is a Xbox Management fault.

but...
we are seeing a change of strategy so I'm not sure what is going to happen.

Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite BioWare Game On Xbox?

Pigrotto

I voted for Anthem, because I think it deserves a bit of appreciation.
I was playing it several weeks ago and enjoying it much... however still getting disconnections and server errors.
of course it is not the best BioWare game, anyway I wished a redemption story for it.
