My Rog Ally is my sole use these days! I haven't put the Xbox on in ages.
Having a young daughter, she takes up most of the tv time when we are home, and my wife watches TV in the evenings, so having a handheld is handy for me, and being able to play Game Pass, Steam and more on it, is brilliant.
Will be interesting to see which way MS goes with the handheld, whether they go native gameplay or as PS did with the portal and make it a streaming platform.
Played it on my Rog Ally and it was buttery smooth at 90fps, but I can’t justify the size of the download while I only have 512gb storage. When I finally upgrade to 1 or 2 tbs then maybe I’ll consider it.
Just tried on PC and not sure if anyone else had this issue but when I connected my Xbox controller to play with, there was no icons showing while playing, had to try and guess what buttons to press.
Other than that I had fun, caught a chicken and a sheep. Good times
At the end of the day, you can’t please everyone when it comes to business deals, especially ones like this, too many fingers in the pie so to speak.
No one other than those close to the deal know what was offered, all we have is Jim Ryan spitting his dummy out when in reality, the 3 years could have been standard practice before when they dealt with Acti, it’s just they’re now dealing with Microsoft they’re being dicks about it. Cos. You know, it’s Sony.
Its the same thing year in and year out. I dont know why they dont keep the studios working on one game for 3 years, go back to the season pass model and have yearly passes instead and over the 3 years/3 passes release loads of maps over this period, then a new game releases every third year.
The crooks of it is, Sony know the supply of PS5 is slow out the box and that there are still millions who have PS4.
If they can charge you £50 for the game on PS4 and then £70 for the PS5 version, they will. Its business. ***** business and completely unforgivable, but it's business non the less.
The lesson to take it, Sony dont give a ***** about the consumer, its not '4 The Players' or 'Play has no Limits', with Sony there are plenty of limits, basically pricing people out of their games. Its all for their pocket and while idiots will pay it, they will do it. Simples
@BlueOcean then you haven’t a clue how the game plays then?! You’re saying to fix something that you haven’t experienced yourself and are going off what someone had written on a website? I’ve had zero issues with quests.
I’ve played god knows how many hours and had endless amount of fun. A lot of the reviews are absolute tripe and websites are posting these and making people think they’re gospel. This is why I don’t read reviews, if I’m looking forward to a game I’ll get it.
Sure, it’s like a bag of apples, every now and then there’s going to be a bad one in there. But the good outweighs the bad.
I would just like to add, if this is the same as Vodafone did with the Note 20, the code only works if you’re a new subscriber and haven’t had Games Pass Ultimate before.
That’s what happened to me with my code which Samsung didn’t state clearly, yet refused to do anything. So don’t get too excited.
Hopefully they’ve changed it now but just a heads up for anyone who maybe due an upgrade and thinking of doing this.
Would love to see more Ubisoft titles on games pass.
Ubisoft have uplay+ on PC so this could be there way of doing it for console. Xbox pays a handsome sum to them each month and they get loads of games for games pass.
Could be similar to the EA Access deal if more of there games get added.
Ridiculous. Each game would have already been rated by each regions classification board, Apple are just being stubborn and its going to cost them. Unfortunately not enough in my eyes.
With Gamespass giving such good games we’re not going to get anything overwhelming. I more look forward to the next batch of Gamespass games being announced.
I’ve always said that sports games shouldn’t do yearly games but give updates like this for a year or 2 after to give more development time to the new game.

Re: Talking Point: Has Your Gaming Slowed Down As You've Got Older?
@Ricky-Spanish this is me as well. I get about 2-3 hours an evening which is nice.
Plus my gaming tastes have changed, I’m too old now for shooters, I have the reactions of a sponge so don’t really play those anymore. 😂

Re: Xbox Celebrates Pride Month With New Gear And Freebies
The controller thing has grinded my gears. ‘Influencers and media’…. So nothing that’s actually going to help any causes?
They would be better off selling it to joe public and donating the proceeds or a percentage of the proceeds to charity. #JustSaying
