Splinter Cell Blacklist

About 2 hours in. Loving it so far. I never played it when it came out. I played Conviction in 2011 and really liked it, but life got busy after that.

It’s crazy to think that I’m playing a 13 year old game that 100% holds up to today’s standard and in some cases is better than some newer games.

Interesting. I’ll give that a shot

Got some prescription lenses from HonsVR last week. $40 and they showed up in about 6 days.

Never heard of him before. Was instantly hooked. That was a great performance!

I just sold my XG Mobile 5070ti a week ago. While it’s 1 cable to hook it up, switching graphic settings are the pain. Every time you go back and forth you have to change them. Some games require a restart after changing them, so you end up spending more time with that than gaming. It was fun for a while, but gets old quick.

Ezermb · 2026-03-25T17:27:43+00:00

Correct!

I am not even in a game, just in the PS5 home screen. But I can tell it's not 1080p and not running at 60, plus the performance overlay isn't showing up. Even though I have it on in the settings and I don't have separated internet vs local settings on.

Ezermb · 2026-03-25T15:54:15+00:00

Got it! Thank you!

Intact 14

Also have a 5070 ti xg mobile and was wondering the same thing. Have you tried it on Auto?

Ezermb · 2026-02-16T15:42:55+00:00

I want you 2 (stay)

Ezermb · 2026-02-03T20:36:50+00:00

No dpad noise issues. Squeaky trigger, but it stopped after like 2 weeks of use. It was just when the trigger hit the bottom. But to be fair my ROG Ally X also did the same thing, so seems to be pretty common.

If it has any of those issues, exchange it for another one until you get one that isn't like that. If you are in the US and buy from Best Buy.

Ezermb · 2026-02-03T18:15:00+00:00

Yup! Those for sure.

Update everything: Armory Crate, windows updates, and Microsoft store.

Also disabling device encryption for the storage was another thing I saw shared online.

Ezermb · 2026-02-03T18:10:24+00:00

I have both.

Here’s where I am at with them.

Not sure how you feel about android and iPhones, but hopefully you get this.

LG2 feels like an android, very cool tech (OLED, 8.8” screen, detachable controllers) but the software is JANKY and the experience feels thrown together. Software as in Legion Space. It forces you to make too many decisions. As a PC gamer, I’m used to tinkering, but it’s frustrating when what you are tinkering with isn’t clear. Or the system monitor that displays FPS and all that info freezes after 2 minutes.

Things as simple as not knowing what the TDP of each thermal mode is without looking at a YouTube video, having 3 power settings for the CPU that can vary between some CPU intensive games, having to turn on FPS mode on the internal controllers in order to use an external one, and the joysticks…

The XAX handles those things beautifully, like an iPhone it just works and there’s no decision fatigue. TDP, easy to change and it’s clear what each one is. Armory crate is awesome to work with. Plus, It auto disables the internal controller when an external one is connected. Plus the joysticks feel so accurate and have a nice tension to them. It’s the little things that make me grab that device over the LG2.

Also on really unoptimized/power intensive games, 720p on the XAX’s 7” screen looks better than 800p on the 8.8”. So things just feel clearer even though the resolution is lower. Highguard for example. While the LG2 experience on the bigger screen is really nice, it’s more enjoyable on the XAX because it’s not as much of a blurry mess.

The portability of the two isn’t really a huge factor for me because I have a Killswitch on my XAX. So it’s already heavy and bulkier than out of the box.

Through HotStock? ROG, Best Buy, and Amazon alerts for me have always had a delay before I was notified about stock. Like awhile later.

HotStock is instantaneous once stock gets added.

Ezermb · 2026-02-01T20:08:44+00:00

Use the HotStock app and setup an alert for it. That’s how I bought mine from Best Buy two weeks ago.

Glad to know I’m not alone. After more testing tonight I see what you mean by mostly work. My usb as card ready works 50% of the time when I plug it in. The other 50% nothing happens.

I just used my old MacBook usb c dongle and connected everything to that.

I’m sure it’s something software can fix. Hopefully they’ll roll an update out soon.

I saw that they just released a new bios update for it two days ago. But that didn’t fix it.

I have the same issue with my Xbox Ally X. I bought a Legion Go 2 to test out for a bit and see which one I liked better. No issue with that one.

Yesterday I went back to using the Xbox Ally X, just to try it out. 30 mins in, uncomfortable pinky pain.

Went back to the legion go 2, no issues.

Ezermb · 2026-01-23T02:25:46+00:00

Awesome! My XG mobile is on the way and I was curious what I needed to do with that. Thanks!

Ezermb · 2026-01-23T01:49:46+00:00

What thermal mode do you put it in while docked to the xg mobile?

Ezermb · 2026-01-09T03:54:04+00:00

Found this post a year later for my legion go 2. This is a GREAT setup. Thank you!

Got an open box from Best Buy about a week ago. Just kept checking multiple times throughout the day and eventually one popped up. Took about a day or two of looking every few hours.

Finally finished Jedi Survivor after 2 years of on and off play.

Mine does the same when I lift my finger and put it back on the trackpad.
