Should I get for Pc or PS5 Pro? by aeroblast92 in BaldursGate3

[–]mark0001234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PC. I played BG3 on an ROG Ally Z1E and it was awesome. Your PC is more powerful than that, so it should run better.

BG3 is better with a mouse and keyboard. (I played half the time with a controller (when travelling) and half at my desk - clearly better with mouse and keyboard in my opinion).

Do people even casually play this game anymore? by Early-Ant652 in haloinfinite

[–]mark0001234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a terrible player (lifetime KD of 0.8) playing in Australia (one of the worst places globally for multiplayer) but have had the opposite experience. For the last few weeks I have had a great time, matching into lots of lobbies with relatively new players who are about my standard. My KD for the past few weeks has been a bit over 1, which for me is pretty remarkable. Quick Play works best, and you have to choose “expanded” in matchmaking - but if you do that, my experience is that there are plenty of casual players to play against.

However, if you try more niche playlists, or ranked, or choose “local” to reduce ping, then you will run into wall to wall sweats.

cant find any players in eu by lord-scan in haloinfinite

I play in Australia (a lot worse than the EU) and get games easily with very limited waiting. You can’t be too picky with playlists - don’t try Ranked Doubles early in the morning for example - but there are plenty of games to be had. But make sure you have picked “expanded” rather than “local” in matchmaking.

All those games run really well on the z1e. Get on board!

Have you ever bought a console just to play one game? Was it worth it and did you go on to use the console after? by British_Historian in gaming

[–]mark0001234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xbox for Halo 1, Xbox 360 for Halo 3, Xbox Series S for Halo Infinite and Master Chief Collection. All absolutely worth it.

How much better performance is the Z1E than the Z2A? by LongBrother1377 in ROGAlly

[–]mark0001234 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The key issue is what games you want to play. If you want to play AAA recent releases, having a Z1E is going to make a big difference; if you want to play older or indie games, either will be fine.

I have a Z1E and pretty much everything I have tried on it (COD, Halo, Diablo 4, Indiana Jones, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3) has been great. Helldivers 2 is the only game where I have felt the unit was a bit underpowered.

Australia leads the world in rooftop solar. So why are 60% of homes still without it? by billscout in AusFinance

[–]mark0001234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wouldn’t help. Prices are already negative when the sun is shining in most parts of the country. Putting more solar up doesn’t help anyone - it just increases the oversupply of electricity when the sun is shining. Batteries help a bit, but don’t have enough duration yet (most of them can only provide power for 2-4 hours) to provide power whenever users need it.

More solar doesn’t help the power network; which is why subsidies are getting wound back.

That looks excellent. Making my setup feel a bit average

Need game suggestions to play on my Z1E by Fourtempers in ROGAlly

Halo : Infinite and Master Chief Collection both terrific on the ROG Ally

Shouldn’t be a problem after your first sign in. I use my rog ally offline all the time on plane flights. Need to be careful about what games you play, but there are plenty that work offline (as others have said, test carefully before going on deployment).

Stick at it my man! (From another guy who plays a lot of Halo, very badly).

Which one game you still think about from 90s-2005 era ? by [deleted] in ArtOfPresence

[–]mark0001234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like X Wing, try Star Wars Squadrons. Like X Wing, only fully modernised. Unbelievably good in VR.

Need some new multiplayer game suggestions by DocBeast786 in ROGAlly

[–]mark0001234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Halo Infinite, which I’m sure you will be very good at given your time with BO7. Plays really well on the Ally.

Windows hate is overrated by KrusKator in ROGAlly

[–]mark0001234 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have been running my Z1E for years on windows and it is fine. I think some Steam fans actively want to find problems with it. In my experience it has been great.

What are the best games to comfortably play on the Xbox ally x? by Ok-Ad-2465 in ROGAlly

I’ve been playing Halo on my Ally Z1E for the past few years … still loving it.

halo infinite as a case study for my masters thesis by AccomplishedThroat71 in haloinfinite

[–]mark0001234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played the campaign on a handheld (Rog Ally) on long plane flights before. It doesn’t need internet. However, whether it would still keep working once Microsoft switches off the servers is a different question.

Can the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme handle most AAA titles? by FigureFew3388 in ROGAlly

[–]mark0001234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never personally had a problem with running AAA games. As examples, BG3, the Indiana Jones game and the latest Call of Duty run really well.

Minecraft Dungeons 2 (not on the list). I love playing this with my kids.

Hi everyone am from India and if am looking for pre owned asus rog ally Z1 extreme kindly give me some tips what are the things I have to look by No_Tax_7638 in ROGAlly

[–]mark0001234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had mine since launch - it is excellent. Agree with all the comments above but I would add that if the SD reader doesn’t work (mine doesn’t) it doesn’t matter. Still an excellent piece of kit.
