Support NeoGAF

[ReasonBeing]

NGL, Microsoft cancelling its own handheld and Xbox users having to settle with some licensed, expensive ASUS shit really, really sucks, even if I never owned any Xbox and was never planning to get it. I genuinely feel bad for my fellow Xbros.

It was a punch in the gut, but you get used to it if you are invested in the Xbox ecosystem. From what I read it isn't cancelled, but put in a holding pattern. Here is to hoping they finish the job at some point, or at least make good on working with AMD to build native Xbox sku support into future handheld chipsets.

can it be upgraded with steam os

ROG Ally X can play Playstation games.

Apparently they are not quality games.

You can't be serious with this right?

Steam which is amazing and even has Sony games and Game Pass which contains 6/10 of Sony's top selling games aren't quality? Some of you see Xbox and your brains have a seizure.

Tripping over yourself to share a negative sentiment regarding anything related to Xbox leads to terrible takes like this.

What quality games has Microsoft studios released recently? Don't play dumb, y'all know what I meant.

If Legion Go 2 is priced similarly or even 100 more I would rather have that with a much better acreen

This! 7 inches is way too small a screen, especially considering how much it cost. Even the Switch 2 and Steam Deck OLED has a bigger screen.

All of them they released recently.

Would give them 7-9/10 scores.

Xbox Rog Ally X, it eats Switch 2 for breakfast*.


*just not in sales nor quality games.

Xbox Ally doesn't support game key cards and Nintendo's lackluster online service won't be accessible, either.

What about €90 games that come with forced fog filters over an empty open world or substandard analog sticks? - We will see.

You truly thought people wouldn't realize this has the entire Steam library to play with? Including Microsoft and Sony's PC releases?

I'd honestly just be happy with this is if could play the entire original Xbox catalogue

No pissing around. The lot.

I could pay a lot for that.

So it will be a commercial failure.

These things are not sold at loss like consoles...have you seen the prices?

They profit from HW not SW sales

 

[Gamezone]

can it be upgraded with steam os

Probably SteamOS or Bazzite since it's AMD, yes.

 

[BlackTron]

modified version of windows that doesn't launch into the desktop and saves multiple GB of memory compared to normal windows

I gotta admit I like this. But, much like Steam Deck, I'm not going for the first version. Also like the Deck, I suspect this is a spark to bring software that will end up elsewhere. I'm still waiting for that actually end-all PC handheld when the direction it's all headed finishes "maturing".

Prolly wait on next gen for something new at this price level since I already own Switch 2 and Sony is coming out with one. I feel like these pc handhelds are getting better at a fast rate so buying a premium one isn't in the cards for me until I'm confident they have gotten these really optimized and plug and play and that there won't be any major breakthroughs the day after I purchase. Best wishes to those who check this out.

Flawed premise and also moving goalposts. An Ally X user isn't limited to MS published games, a ROG Ally X user has access to the entire PC ecosystem. If you can't find a quality games across Steam, EGS, GOG, MS stores, then you aren't looking.

Just in case you forgot, this was your post I responded to
