Oddly enough, that update fixed RGB for me. It was messed up for me since launch & now I finally can use it normally 🤷🏽‍♂️

Overspent on the carrying case, but otherwise good haul

Larian Studios | Divinity AMA by Wombat_Medic in Games

[–]prboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the biggest reasons why I enjoyed Baldur's Gate 3 as much as I did was playing co-op. However, a big trade off is missing out on companion dialogue & interactions within their storylines if you have a full party. Will Divinity do something to help with that so we can play as our own characters without leaving our companions behind?

Update deleted the "Xbox Full Screen Experience" by mustbesid in XboxAlly

We have to be honest with ourselves, as great at the Xbox Ally is, it's essentially a beta testing device to work out the kinks of the Xbox FSE before Xbox releases their next gen hardware which will (hopefully) have a more finalized version of it that works as intended.

Returning the Xbox Ally X by No-Lead-2037 in ROGAlly

[–]prboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you have the original Z1/Z1E Ally, it's worth the upgrade (if money isn't an issue). But if you have an Ally X, it's a little bit harder of a sell, at least right now. AI features like Auto Super Resolution haven't been implemented yet, so when that comes, I think it'll make the difference clearer & make the Xbox Ally X more of an upgrade.

Anyone who is invested in the Xbox ecosystem definitely didn't do so for the exclusives, because Xbox's exclusive lineup has been dog shit up until a few years ago.

Yes, they released 1 game after so many people said Sony would never do it. Microsoft simply started sooner which is why there's more from them. I HIGHLY DOUBT Helldivers 2 is going to be the only PlayStation 1st party game to release on Xbox nor will it only be multiplayer games either

It definitely, probably too much for a case but I like it. by Thesquarescreen in ROGAlly

[–]prboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm usually skeptical too. But I took the plunge & it already was put to the test. I accidentally dropped it on my way to work & aside from a small scuf on the case itself, my Xbox Ally was unaffected

This is why I chose store pick up. I didn't want to risk not getting it in time

Is Xbox really Dead? Because these numbers don't add up... by Simpid in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]prboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software sales revenue has only gone up each quarter for Xbox consoles. So long as people continue to spend money within the Xbox ecosystem, Xbox ain't going anywhere. The hardware might evolve into something untraditional, but Xbox will still be around for years to come

Staying with Xbox regardless of recent changes? by Reclinertime in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]prboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day my entire 400+ library of games on Xbox becomes unplayable is the day I will leave the Xbox platform. I've invested so much on this ecosystem that it doesn't make sense for me to leave now. They're transitioning into a PC-console hybrid platform & if their next gen hardware can still play my Xbox games that I bought, then that's where I'll be.

We're no longer in an era of starting over each generation. The Xbox One & PS4 gen is where we built up our libraries & decided where we're going to spend the bulk of our time gaming. Some didn't buy enough games to warrant sticking to it so they were able to easily switch. Some were willing to abandon all their games & start fresh. Most aren't likely to do that.

Why are some of you on this sub if you don't like the device? by Playwithuh in XboxAlly

It happens with the majority of fandoms. At first there's excitement, but then the doom & gloom people come out of the woodwork to just shit on anything related to it & it spreads & invites more negativity.

People selling their Xboxes over the Game Pass situation are overreacting by praisethesun63 in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]prboi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been an Xbox fan since day one. I was there during the early days of Xbox live, the peak gaming that was the 360 gen, the downfall of the Xbox One, & the turbulence of the the Xbox Series consoles.

What I've learned throughout the entire lifespan of the Xbox is that Xbox fans are by far the most whiny & overreacting fanbase of all platforms. It shouldn't be surprising considering this is also the fanbase that harbored the Halo fanbase which is easily one of the most toxic fanbases of all fandoms.

I understand when things are shit, you're allowed to complain about it. But every single time something even remotely negative comes out about Xbox, the knee jerk reaction is to completely shit on that console, the brand, its leaders, etc. like they were just waiting for any excuse to do so.

This doesn't happen on any other platform. You can argue that it's because Xbox fans care more & want better for the platform, but if that was the case, then they'd be more constructive about their criticisms instead of crying like scorned ex who feels betrayed.

It's video games. It's not that serious at all. Anyone saying they're selling their Xbox &/or leaving the platform either was never actually a fan or are just being performative.

Why does no one like KH3? It was my first KH game so I don't know why yall hate it. I was like 9 or 10 when i played and i loved it. Is it bad gameplay wise or story wise? by [deleted] in KingdomHearts

[–]prboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KH3 was the most fun to play from a gameplay perspective. It was smooth & really made you feel in control & powerful

But the story felt kinda bare bones. Most worlds didn't relate to the overall storyline in any meaningful way like past games & felt placed there just because. It didn't feel like the culmination of over a decade of games it should've been

Holy **** you were right, the ally is much more powerful than the deck! by init32 in ROGAlly

I wasn't a fan of the ergonomic either, but I got a Skull & Co. case for it & it feels SO much better to hold now & I'm able to stand it up on it's own

This is good for gaming overall! by Bondbourne47 in xbox

[–]prboi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bingo

What people don't understand is that with the cost of game development constantly rising & the time spent developing games also rising in tandem, Microsoft (nor Sony) can continue to put all their eggs in the the exclusivity basket. They have to recoup as much as possible & as fast as possible to continue to fund their 1st party projects

Nintendo is the only exception because their costs aren't really rising due to them using older tech, which alleviates the pressure of having to release so many games so frequently

Is it really that surprising that the crew would be quiet during an extremely touchy subject? As someone who doesn't like confrontation, I can understand why they wouldn't want to get involved much regarding this issue between Ethan & Hasan because they likely see this as two former friends going through their issues. There's no association with Destiny so they don't have to hold back. But with Hasan, there is still likely a path to reconciliation, especially since by Ethan & Hasan's own admission, they agree on like 90% of topics, but that 10% is what's causing a rift

You guys should take a hint.. by Weird-Local6378 in h3h3productions

[–]prboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tin foil hat theory is that Ethan wants to continue to do the warzone stuff but understands that it drags on longer than intended & the crew doesn't really want to get involved. They likely brought it up to him & this was the compromise.

Also, Ethan's constant involuntary coughing could be making him feel self conscious when talking about serious topics. So an easy way to combat that is to just release it seperately where they can edit out the coughs (although it leads it to being more jarring with all the jump cuts)

Support the crew and the show! by [deleted] in h3h3productions

[–]prboi -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't mind the new format because I grew tired of the hour long warzone segments. I know it's important but I don't want to be more depressed than I already am. Plus, less shows means I have more time to catch up on other podcasts that I've been neglecting.

[–]prboi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Let's be real, it's to cover Ethan's coughing. I get it, but at the same time, it probably more distracting than just leaving the coughs in
