The thing is, if this game can play modern AAA games at 30 FPS, then it will play every game I care about at 60 FPS.

As a person who has owned a gaming laptop going on 16 years, I think it’s high time I switched to something like this. The problem I’ve had with gaming laptops is that they never get smaller. The graphics and power consumption keep going higher, so the form factor for most computers is in the 16" market, with only…

People have these imaginary PC prices in their heads, but I think this is the first I’ve seen an imaginary budget gaming laptop for a little over $400. Laptops are expensive luxury items, gaming laptops even more so. Right now, the cheapest laptop with a dedicated (decent) graphics card at Costco is $1200. As others…

That’s not at all true. Show me an actual *gaming* laptop (i.e. discrete gaming GPU) that you can get for anywhere close to $400. Doesn’t exist.

It's for people like me, who have a high demanding job, want to play games quick and easy, want my kids to be able to play too, want to be able to play Civ kinds of games on the go, and last but not least stream games from Ps Now and Xbox Game pass

It is amazing how moronic and genuinely childish some people here are. If you're over 20, you should stop posting until your mental age catches up to that at least. Half the reactions to this article are like basically thirteen year old-style bitchy whinging like yours. 

Consider reading the rest of the article.

This article literally goes into some detail of this situation, including her response.

“How dare these grody nekkid womenz invade our precious video game space!”

I think they’re different animals.

The... game they spun off from the single player game, specifically to be a multiplayer pirate game.

You are surprised that they didn’t consider making it into a single player game, like.... Assassins Creed Black flag, for example?

This is a nice longform article in the vein of Jason’s Schreier’s reporting of behind-the-scenes game development. Glad to see this article type again. Great job!

He Who Remains really intrigued me with just how malevolent he’s meant to be. His goal to stop a multiversal war is obviously worthy, but it’s hard to know what the consequences of that action really is, and Majors’ performance suggests that HWR may very well be hiding something with regards to that.

I loved Richard Grant’s version.

A common failing of a lot of shows these days (especially streaming shows) is that what they call the first season is really just the first half season. They end on a “cliffhanger” that lets you know that everything you have been watching was just set up for the story they really mean to tell.

Given that a second season is coming, and it ended on something of a cliffhanger, I’m more inclined to treat it as an individual episode rather than a “finale” (even if it is, technically, the season finale). And while Majors was great, I was also disappointed (as others have said) that Loki and Sylvie got so little…

Using the Xbox cloud service to play through Control at the moment. No lag or stutters for me at all. I can even watch Twitch streams at the same time. But on the other hand the imagine isn’t quite as sharp as installed games, looks slightly washed.

I’ll add a third use case, and the one I use most: gaming on your phone. Most of what I’ve been playing on xCloud are low-intensity indie games that work perfectly on the phone, but that don’t include the typical mobile gaming pitfalls like microtransactions and energy timers and whatnot.

One of the benefits is that there is no additional SKU someone has to purchase, assuming that they are buying Microsoft published titles, or are playing GamePass rentals. Something like Stadia had you double dipping if you just wanted to play something that you already own but on the go or somewhere were easy access…

I got a clip, and it sucked. It was not a comfortable experience, and the razer controller is way better.
