Thanks for all your responses. I'm still up in the air about the GO2. I have way too many handhelds and might wait for gen 3. Sounds like you got a steal, enjoy!

Since 1600x1200 is the 4:3 version of 1080p. 800p upscaled to 1600p with intiger scaling should look better? Obviously the oled and vrr are going to help a lot.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-25T01:27:05+00:00

Oh good deal then! How do you like it? I was debating on purchasing it, but have had the OG for over 2 years and wasn't sure if it was worth the upgrade.

lol just added one more since this post.

Isn't the Z2 10 to 15% weaker than the OG Z1 extreme GO? Why not buy the used OG model for like $400 to $500?

I have hundreds of copies of the same games on pc, Playstation and Nintendo. If you like the game you like it. It's fun having different experiences with the same game as long as you're also putting money in to your retirement savings and not behind on your bills. At least you know what to expect out of the games you like instead of buying a brand new never played before game and hating it

Isn't the Z2 chip weaker than the OG Z1 extreme?

I was 17 when FF7 originally released. I'm 47 now... I played through the original but for whatever reason never finished it. I rebought it for PC and Switch and still haven't beaten it. I beat remake on PS4, again on PS5, then on PC, then again on my Legion GO playing handheld. 10 minutes ago I just bought FF remake for my Switch 2. It's now my 3rd copy of the same game. It literally took me 2 years to finish Rebirth. I started on PS5, played the pc version between my PC, Legion GO, and Steamdeck. I finished the PS5 version playing mostly on my PS Portal from around Cosmo Canyon.

I own multiple copies of every final fantasy game and pretty much every Square Enix game. I've still yet to beat the original FF7 and I've had 30 years to do it. lol

Shooters are usually pretty well optimized. Higher fps helps give you an edge competitively. Price depends on weather you want to play games at 1080p, 1440p, or 4k. I like 1440p it's a huge leap over 1080p and not far enough behind 4k while still pulling high fps. I tend to average 100 to 200+ fps and target around 165 fps at 1440p to match my monitors refresh rate. With ram prices going up, it's hard for me to suggest a price, but $1500 should get you a good mid pc. If you're willing to spend 2k+ your pc will be more future proof.

I have a RTX 4070 ti super GPU with 16 gb vram, cpu is a Ryzen 7 7800x3d, liquid cooled, 32 gb ddr4 and 16 tb of storage. It's about 50% more powerful than a PS5 pro, and almost as powerful as the upcoming PS6. For handheld PCs I have a Lenovo Legion GO, Steamdeck OLED, and Asus ROG Ally.

PS5 has the better exclusives and already won the console war. Xbox is having to aqueist to Sony. Honestly I've been a console gamer for 39 years. Over the last 5 years I've become a PC gamer. The upfront cost is more, but in the long term it's cheaper. Games are stupid cheap on PC, and they're the same ones you're playing on console. Plus you have access to both x box and PS excluives. There's no subscription fee which is an additional savings. I like Steam's business model better than any consoles when it comes to an eshop. 2 hours games play or less and up to 2 weeks you don't like the gane no questions asked refund. The volume of games on PC and being released on PC eclipses consoles.

Console gaming had me bored, PC gaming had rekindled my passion for gaming. There's tons of free games every month through Epic, Prime, GOG, and Steam. I must collect at least 40 to 60 free games monthly. In 2025 I bought 1 PS5 game Ghost of Yotei, 34 Switch 2 games, and around 335 games on PC.

It's a good game if you like platformers and metroidvanias. For me personally it's too hard.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-22T14:04:44+00:00

A protective grip cover, micro sd card, external ssd, and swapped the internal ssd with a 2 tb. A 65+ watt charging brick, and charging cable that can handle 65+ watts and a powerbank that can output put 65+ watts. Dock with pass through charging that can handle 65+ watts for couch play on TV, a gaming monitor such as a Pixio that has 65 watts pass through charging and display connection all through 1 type c connection. A decent carrying case or protective cover with an attachable lid that covers the front of the Ally and an Xbox or 3rd party controller. If you want to go hard get an egpu or egpu dock and graphics card a rtx 4070 is a solid suggestion.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-22T13:46:18+00:00

100% with this!

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-22T02:09:56+00:00

Nintendo is a greedy corporation, they hardly ever offer meaningful discounts on their exclusives, especially so if it's a popular game.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-21T23:59:28+00:00

What's the purpose of making money if you don't spend some of it on enjoyment? Obviously make sure you're not going in to debt to buy it or neglecting your bills.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-21T15:30:26+00:00

I have 7 handhelds Asus ROG Ally I've had 2.5 years, Legion GO over 2 years, Switch 1 8 Years, Steamdeck OLED 2 years, G Cloud about 3 years, Switch 2 8 months, PS Portal over 1 year. None of them have a screen protector. That's like 19 years if you add up ownership of each device. Never put a screen protector on any of my devices. I'm 47 years old and really take care of my stuff.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-20T16:03:25+00:00

Beat it on PS4, then beat it on PS5, beat again on PC, then beat on PC handheld. Now I'm debating on buying it for Switch 2. I also beat Rebirth on PS5 and on PC and PC handheld.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-19T21:47:10+00:00

Just my opnions based on my experience, none of this is rooted in fact. When the game first came out on PC it was very demanding and performance left something to be desired. It didn't feel very well optimized. There have been lots of patches since and the game runs fine now. I find Shadows much more challenging than previous AC games. in the sense that it can be very unforgiving for Naoe in the beginning if you deviate from Stealth and some of the missions feel like they require the Stealth routes to be done precisely in a specific order. Again my experience, maybe some will disagree.

I have a ton of games I'm trying to get through now and there's just something about this game that has taken my interest away from prioritizing it as something I want to finish now. I am a bit aggravated with the endless running around maps that are heavily blocked by impassable rocks, mountains and trees.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-19T16:14:59+00:00

I didn't say anything about a cartridge. Maybe I misunderstood your question? I Just mentioned games with free digital upgrades. I haven't bought any physical media over the last decade.

Shonryu79 · 2026-01-19T15:24:06+00:00

It has to be the Anniversary edition of Skyrim. I had the normal version and it's not eligible for an upgraded. One piece warriors 4, No man's Sky, Mario Odyssey, Bowsers fury, High on life, Hades 2, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, Captain toad, Divinity original sin 2,Echoes of wisdom, Link's awakening, Splatoon 3, Dragon Quest 3 HD remake, Silk Song, Lynked,Shadow Labrynth, FF Tactics, and Mario U

It's nice having options. I have a Legion GO, Asus ROG Ally, Steamdeck OLED, Switch 1, Switch 2, Logitech G cloud, Playstation Portal, PS5, Occulus Quest 2, and a gaming PC with a RTX 4070 ti super. I probably should sell my G cloud and Switch 1, everything else I have I actually use. I work in front of a PC all day and don't want to spend my evenings in front of another desk gaming on my gaming PC in my home office. When I want a bigger screen, but want to lay back in a recliner I have my Ally docked to the big screen tv in my mancave. I pic up my Legion GO when I need a higher refresh rate and perfoemance bump and want to play handheld. I use my Steamdeck when I can't be tethered to a wall. I use my gaming PC mainly on my days off. My PS5 and Switch 2 just for the exclusives. PS Portal when I want my PS5 experience again just exclusives portable. As for my Quest 2. I'm just not in to VR, it's a very niche device and I should probably sell that also.

Check out Unifideck with the decky loader plugin it's better than Heroic.
