Billbil-Kun: Xbox Rog Ally releases October 16
Poorly, just like all the other Ally units. Asus, MSI et all are iterating too much and flooding the market with units that all sorts of compromises. It confuses the average buyer - and you need their dollars for this concept to become a big enough hit to matter. Valve did it right. Keep the platfor

The only people who don’t like a Steam Deck, have never played one
I own one and I don't like it. I started off with allot of enthusiasm and even customized it with a larger SSD, hall effect joysticks, backplate, etc. Turns out I can't really get used to the control scheme as an old PC gamer. I need a mouse and keyboard. Granted, that's not a failure of the Steam D

Design is Unmatched, Real Shame
Non-functioning features that they're using as a selling point? As someone that plays a lot of FPS games, no gyro really is a deal-breaker for me. Since I first started buying handhelds from this company, I've probably forked over $5000 to them. In that time, the software experience has improved mar

Recently got into handhelds, don’t know what to choose.
I miss the Ally X. Software was great. Gyro controls, easy form factor and use. 7 inches though was too small for my approaching 42 year old eyes. Text especially. The MSI Claw 8ai is amazing. Absolute worst software ever though. Like, Legion Space was pretty bad, but Center M is a joke. Handheld Co

Xbox full screen
No I am doubting the benefits unless you have an exclusive Xbox library and no Steam or epic games and play everything on gamepass . Launching games from Steam is glitchy in my experience . Specially on the claw I have to go to the desktop all the time to fiddle with several things . Like launching

Thinking of coming back to the Xbox Ally
I also had a bit of a buyers remorse after getting the Xbox Ally X due to the 7 inch screen, seeing how everyone praises 8 inch handhelds and the Lego 2.And I seriously considered selling it and getting MSI CLAW 8 AI+ just for the sake of the bigger screen.But then I found a spot that had the MSI Cl

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse on GameHub 5.3.5 | Anbernic RG556, T820, Mali G57
I don't see how that is relevant seeing as one of my childhood games ATV 2 for the PS2 from 2003 runs like shit wether it's on the ayn Thor, the msi claw, or my PC. Something tells me this game was coded differently from the pack because even when it says 60 fps it looks like u r playing at 2-5 fps

Alright so I am returning the polar and got the sandstone. I am in another 60 day return window.
So at this point, I have tried these handheld’s in this order. XBAX, Claw8ai, LGS, LG2. By far the least comfortable and actually borderline painful to use is the Claw. I know. I’m surprised too. I really wanted the claw to win because as I said, it is such a beautiful and powerful device, but MSI f

So I just now threw on the screen protector and case onto my LG2. I’ll start with my issues with the Claw 8ai. The flat design in combination with the trapezoid shape. This left me feeling like I had to push my palms towards each other in order to hold a device up. I mainly game while laying in bed.
