    love your content, but i really think you should've compared it with something like a steam deck, since thats the market the rog ally is targeting. comparing it wth the switch is kinda like apples to oranges, because nintendo and asus have two different segments they're targeting, nintendo targeting casual gamers and rog targeting those who want to play pc level games on the go. just a thought. love your vids though!

    • @D71219ONE

      Exactly, I like many Switch games, but Nintendo has been a toy company for over a hundred years. Their target has always been families with children, so they market to children. Asus is a computer component and hardware manufacturer who has never marketed to children.
      It would’ve been better to compare this to other handheld PCs.

    9:33 Valve has done a lot of work for this kind of stuff specifically for years now. If you are playing on handheld, on TV or streaming, Big Picture mode should be used which changes everything to be useable with controller and touchscreen with more ease. What's shown on the video is regular Steam desktop overlay for games and that also completely changes when opening games through Big Picture.

    • @azenyr
      @azenyr Před rokem +37

      This and the big ignoring of the existence of the steam deck just proved that Arun didn't really make his full research before making this video. And also that he is probably not that big of a gamer himself, or at least not a PC gamer.

    • @marioysikax
      @marioysikax Před rokem +4

      ​@@azenyr I feel like there's huge value for these devices to be used by regular people. Because if normie who only plays with Switch or phone picks this up, what is their experience with this device? So I feel like they would've almost done disservice with review by doing too much research as consumer would have to do same research, just the framing of the video "which is better" with scoring system makes these kind of factual inconsistancies pop up harsh.
      So what I personally think happened is that they just opened and used this device, which means they most likely used Asus proprierary software to manage and launch game - which then means even Steam games get opened through desktop mode. This is why Steam Deck is so praised as it's all Big Picture essentially and to go to desktop you have to specifically go to desktop, so even new to PC gamers would not have these kind of issues. I don't know if there is or if Steam can implement it so that external launchers can launch games in Big Picture mode instead, so people using this device as sold, using Asus ROG build in software like Asus intents, this might be a problem normie tier users get with their device unless they realize to stop using the launcher and use Steam Big Picture instead.

    • @grasz
      @grasz Před rokem +5

      Plus the fact that he had games library on a tie had me burst out laughing.
      And on the same note on price including games, and accessories, most ppl already have a game library they can play out the box on ally and don't have to fetch out $50+ for a game like Nintendo and their accessories are no where near cheap. Ally would have more to come and third parties will start making plus existing things that already works with pc, works with Ally. ie Asus xg mobile gpu, external HD, keyboard/mouse.. heck u can turn it into a full on PC as your main and take it with you with just a usb c unplugged.
      He literally tried too hard to make these 2 a tie to create controversy

    • @Luctor
      @Luctor Před rokem +1

      ​@@graszI think he meant for game library what are the game options for that specific device. Not quantity, but what it is available. While the ROG has Steam and emulators, there are still other alternatives, while Nintendo is exclusive, you can't really play those games if you don't own one. Let's take in consideration that Arun owns lots of devices and lots of them are capable of running Steam, while the Switch is on its own.
      I totally disagree with him about prices, the switch is too much pricey than ROG+Steam games

    You should compare the Ally to the Deck. The Switch is hard to compare to a PC handheld considering it's not one, whereas the Deck is on the same level. The only similarities to all of them is that they're gaming devices and they're portable, which is honestly not enough to matter when there are so many other factors that do. Solid video tho

    Regarding the Asus Rog Ally, I'm really excited about its potential. However, I think I'm going to hold off on purchasing it for now and wait for further revisions to the hardware and software. As an early adopter, I've learned that companies often make improvements based on user feedback. Take the example of the improved fan in later orders of the Steam Deck. So, I believe it's wise to give Asus some time to refine their product before jumping in. Can't wait to see what they come up with in the future.

      ​@@Emma_madison true, but this was when a Portable PC was First Released into the Mainstream Market. Before the Steamdeck, Nintendo was the Sole Competitor of the Portable Console Market. But the Steamdeck revolutionized Everything because it offered PC Games with the same Portability of the Switch. This why the Steamdeck was Compared to the Switch, basically put, "Hey, we have a product that has the same Portability of the Switch...BUT can play PC Games". Now with the Ally it basically Needs to be compared to the Steamdeck because the Steam deck set the Universal Standard of Portable PC Consoles.

    Thank You for this comparison. I'm a Switch OLED owner and I was seriously considering buying an Ally, but I've also have a strong gaming laptop so I've decided that buying something which is not completely a portable console and not completely yhe strongest gaming device will be a mistake. Switch is more convenient to use when it comes to portability and speed of launching everything on a bugs free system.

    Remember to take into consideration, that most of the people that are going to buy the ROG, probably already have an ACC on steam. Therefore, they do not have to purchase every game, since they can use the same ACC, on the ROG.

      Dude its a pc you don't have to purchase any game at all... 🤔 jokes aside, it can and will also emulate every game on the switch perfectly fine so the switch is not at all competitive with the Ally. I would still pick the steam deck tho. Windows is not a good choice for a handheld like this. Too heavy, too bloated for that.

    Nintendo does have discounts, some times insane discounts, were a game costs 1-3 GBP before it goes back up after the sale is over. On the e-shop.
    There is also the resale value, as the cartidge retains more of it's value in the long run than a cd for example. You can just sell it after you are done playing it, if that is something you want to. You can also lend it to friend. You cannot do that with a download.
    Anyway, Great video as always. And as a casual player, a used Switch Lite for 100 was a easy choice for me. But you made it even more easy with poiting out the portability.
    Thank you.

    With the the ROG being bigger yh it would have more comfort but with a switch instead of changing the joycon colour with shell replacement and stuff
    You can also just get what they will normally call a protective case or shell
    So u can get ones that make the switch more bulking make it fluffy and all different textures some are expensive but you can also get them for cheap
    The one i have was £16-19
