To be honest they’ve been doing this for a while with backwards compatibility so it’s continuation to make it forwards compatible as well. It’s a bummer they’re not following up with physical copies but it’s clear there’s been a lack of demand for Xbox games. Seems like they want to go the Steam route which I’m all for.

I didn’t care much for the logo change as it’s not really a big deal. What got me to cancel was them adding ANOTHER tier for 4K and then said “no we didn’t have any fee hikes” yet they removed it from the existing plan.

I’m honestly just gonna wait till it’s on GamePass in a year or so. Would love to play as a 9 hour ish Campaign with a lot of customization once the abandon the GaaS stuff.

lol honestly my middle manager boss makes more than him while he’s running one of the most stressful jobs in the world.

Mass Effect was pretty great with this and really paved the way for games now. i still don’t know another set of trilogies where the game can be affected from the choices you made years before in an earlier game. I think they went so ambitious that it really tied up their hands with a lot of things for ME3.

echoplex21 OP ,

I think next year I’ll finally get to this. Was hearing so much about the issues I decided to be in the wait and see until people started really recommending it.

echoplex21 OP ,

I’m honestly just waiting for it to go on sale (<$25 cause I’m stingy and my backlog is huuuge) for Xbox. Looking at sales numbers it’ll probably be soon Z

Basically the moral of the story is that Spotify should have followed in their footsteps and become their own record company.

echoplex21 OP ,

Yeah it was pretty sad. They should either separate out the reveals from the awards. Or just make the event longer. I totally get why they’ll do reveals though. It makes the event more exciting and more eyes on the stream, but they should give the developers their due.

Bioshock Remastered has been great to revisit again. I remember how mind blown I was when I was a kid playing the demo for it on my 360.

echoplex21 OP ,

lol fortunately for me my wife got me the Ally but I exchanged it for the Legion Go. It is quite a premium device. A used Steam Deck can be found for pretty cheap. And Best Buy open box can be found for under $500

echoplex21 OP ,

Honestly a positive for me . Xbox Gamepass is the main reason I have a handheld . It doesn’t work natively on Linux.

echoplex21 OP ,

Pro tip: you can do both ;)

I remember the days in college where I’d drink the night and then have kegs and eggs in the morning. Or drinking and then taking a bus to Philly that night and drinking for St Pattys day. It’s been a decade since and now way in hell could I do that again.

There’s some ways to counteract it. Make sure you drink a ton of water. I usually always have vodka sodas now so I’m more hydrated. Also carry liquid ivs around which helps.

echoplex21 ,

This game is just so fucking good. A little slow in the beginning but once your powers open up it’s a blast. This is worth the price of admission on the Maze alone. Also if you’re trying to pick up AW2, this will definitely enhance it.

echoplex21 ,

Pro tip. Upgrade launch damage, made the game a ton easier. There’s also Gameplay assistances if it’s feeling a bit too difficult. I used this for the Alan Wake DLC .

echoplex21 ,

Honestly people should watch Born in Gaza. You can see what how their lives have been affected by the constant conflicts throughout their lives.

I’m not advocating for terrorism at all and that should be clear. But you can clearly see why many of these kids are so prone to being radicalized. Unnamed aggressors with no face bombing constantly whether it be farmland or ambulances or what have you. Hamas absolutely should be stopped but there needs to be a different approach. This cycle will just keep producing more and more fighters for them as they believe they are the resistance.

echoplex21 ,

And what’s worse is when you’re watching , there’s nothing related to religion. There’s just death, poverty, and lack of hope at the forefront. These kids need help so so bad and the international community is throwing a blind eye towards it.

The handheld PC market has been booming. There’s so many cool products that have been coming out. Personally I’m sticking with more established companies like Steam, Asus, and Lenovo due to being able to get better support , but the creativity of these devices have been incredible to see.

My personal favorite has to be the GPD Win 4 Pro. Brings back the PSP nostalgia and it seems more pocketable than other ones. I’m buying the Lenovo Legion Go but if money was no factor I’d buy the GPD to take on the go.

echoplex21 ,

Love their transparency, easily one of the most stable , user friendly emulators I’ve used. Excited for Super Mario Wonder .

Just trying to fast forward time for my Legion Go to come in.

Coke Zero hits the spot for me

Looks like the heat issues are still there. Not sure what more they can do besides reinventing the whole thing. But this is so small, I love what they tried to do with this. He’s right that the GPD4 makes more sense and is kind of the best of both worlds.

echoplex21 ,

Really looking forward to this for my handheld coming. Hopefully the Z1E works well with this. I returned my Ally waiting for the next big handheld and realized how much it changed the way I game.

echoplex21 ,

There is KB/M support on Xbox so it could be possible

echoplex21 ,

Oh my god does that mean we can finally stop seeing the “What the point of buying an Xbox if I have a PC” comments everywhere ?

echoplex21 ,

Looking forward to this once I’m done with Starfield next month (hopefully when the Legion Go is released). It looks like the best complement to playing a slower paced game.

echoplex21 ,

I know, I was playing this through console streaming from my Ally and really wished it was available natively. Great grab and go game for a couple minutes.

echoplex21 ,

I actually really enjoyed UG2 but I’m not sure how they’ll get the rights to remake it especially with all the Viva La Bam characters.

echoplex21 ,

I’m picturing they’re going to release a remastered version soon for next gen consoles.

If they could add an uncapped fps setting for the Series X, that’d be grrrreat.

echoplex21 ,

I’m more annoyed they don’t just make the game Series X enhanced . They’ve become so greedy as a company. Even if they didn’t touch the visuals it would’ve been excellent

echoplex21 ,

Oh wow Scalebound, I was so excited for that game. Wish he was able to finish that as he seemed to be very passionate towards it. I heard MS was extremely pissed with the development process as well.

echoplex21 ,

I wouldn’t be surprised if the MAGA Reps are willngly trying to shut down the government solely to shut down Ukraine’s defenses in Russia’s invasion of their country. The fact that they’re acting so pissy about this lends credence to that theory.

echoplex21 ,

Yeah solely is a bit of a hyperbole but definitely significant .

echoplex21 ,

Valve is in a pure win-win situation. The popularity of the Deck has led to an explosion in PC handhelds. Even if they take it easy, they have shown there is a market for people wanting to play their pc games on the go (or just in this form factor). Even if they’re not exactly buying the SD, Steam is still the choice storefront for devices like the Ally , Go, and the 50,000 smaller companies (Ayaneo, GPD etc.). I initially bought my Ally for GamePass and found myself buying more games on Steam .

echoplex21 ,

A simplified Legion Go looks like something we can probably expect the next device to be then. Most people have compared the Rog Ally power with the Z1 extreme as being similar to PS4/X1 .

What they could do is a true “docked” mode where it can connect to a GPU to have it output 4K. Highly doubt as the cost would become exorbitant.

echoplex21 ,

Oh thank god. Keep him far away. I understand the vision he went with (which was more introduced by Cuarón than anything) but I really didn’t appreciate missing key scenes from the books, poorly executing the Hallows and the final battle, and how poor duels were. The only time there was some creativity was Dumbledore vs Voldemort in OoTP. Outside of that it was who can push harder with their wand.

There wasn’t much real “magic” in the last few movies.

I had an ROG Ally which I just returned. Currently waiting on the Legion Go now and see how the reviews are.

There were a few reasons why I picked the Ally over the Deck such as the screen and power but the main thing really was windows for GamePass. I already use it with my Xbox so just being able to natively play so many games was a value I couldn’t beat. Cross saves also work well so I could play something at home and then take the Ally with me on the go seamlessly. I think the Deck is great but personal factors made the Ally a no brainer.

My biggest complaint with Windows is how there’s no Big picture mode for the Xbox app. Steam on windows does better than Microsoft on its own platform. I hope there’s a fox for it at some point. Sleep is also really annoying but wasn’t that big of a deal breaker. Otherwise windows hasn’t been so bad. I’ve been enjoying using it as a desktop as well coding or watching Netflix etc. I know that goes against the grain in this community but there is definitely a place for Windows handhelds in the market. Now let’s hope Microsoft sees that and makes some changes so it works as flawlessly (at least 90% cmon) as the Deck does.

echoplex21 ,

Lol you know what , maybe I do need sleep.

echoplex21 ,

This is exactly what they need. At least a Big Picture mode where it boots to a launcher. That and they should scan all games on their computer. Not just Xbox games.

echoplex21 ,

Arrival I think would be a great choice.

echoplex21 ,

Might as well for reparations.
