echoplex21,

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.

echoplex21,

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.

echoplex21,

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,

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,

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

echoplex21,

I mean MS would have to shell out bookoo bucks for this to come to GamePass anytime soon. Probably a year or two down the line. Regardless Larian isn’t going to say they’re putting it on GP as it would slow down sales on the platform during the holidays.

echoplex21,

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.

echoplex21,

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,

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,

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

echoplex21,

Pro tip: you can do both ;)

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,

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.

echoplex21,

I’m honestly so excited for this game. It sucks it’s been delayed so much but after playing the first and now their larger budget, I know it’s going to be incredible.

XBLA goat

echoplex21,

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,

Oh is this the third iteration already?

I think regardless of timeline, Valve accomplished what they wanted which was higher adoption of PC gaming through handheld gaming. There’s been an explosion of PC handhelds in the market after their release and they’re the main storefront for it (even if it’s running windows). Their big picture mode worked extremely well with my Ally. Even though I initially bought the device as an extension for my Xbox with GamePass, I’ve found myself buying a bunch of 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.
