@@Doai55 Same chipset, but that's it. The Legion Go offers better RAM speed, higher res, bigger display etc. etc. however the ROG offers vrr and is more portable. They're similar but in no way the same.
I have a deck but out of all the handhelds released in the past year, this one is the one that makes me feel like im missing out the most. I love my deck, but this looks fantastic, the screen, controllers, build quality, everything looks so worth the price tag, speciallly over the rog ally. Also, these videos are such a vibe, the music, the keyboard and backround, the commentary, so nice to just play the vids while smoking it up or playing a game
It really is an awesome one. The Deck is great too for its price and I hope you continue to enjoy it until you decide to eventually upgrade if that’s in the picture. Also really appreciate the love and I’m glad you’re enjoying the vids. Means a lot ✊🏽
I enjoy your videos. Your videos helped me decide between the original Steam Deck and the Ally. I went with Deck because the community for parts if needed. I just upgraded to the OLED SD. These gaming handhelds are the only way I enjoy gaming. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Means a lot. Can’t go wrong with the steam deck it’s a great device overall with really great support from devs and the community. Hope you continue to enjoy it and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
@@PIFFthePUFF420actually he isn’t in the wrong I myself am having difficulty playing call of duty, the game crashes for me every time I play for almost 5mins it looks good and everything. I tried different settings but I also have a buddy who has the same settings and it runs perfect no problem maybe it’s our legion go? Who knows
You should post more videos of you playing COD on the legion go. I enjoy watching them. (COD is what I play mostly so I enjoy watching awesome gameplays of it as well).
Anyone know how to get it to run well? Mine keeps crashing and it is saying I’m using a mouse when I’m not. I’m used to playing on Xbox series x I’m a noob when it comes to pc.
Legion GO is more powerful, has a bigger screen and is easier to setup to play MW3 since Steam Deck doesnt let you run the game unless you install windows. The Legion Go already comes with Windows so the process is more straight forward.
I’m not sure exactly what causes bans on the handhelds I’ve just heard a number of things that might be the cause but I’ve played cod on these handhelds for over a year now and never had any issues. I avoid any third party controller support programs, (HANDHELD COMPANION etc.) and I don’t touch any tdp settings or custom fan curves when playing cod. I also try to make sure nothing is running in background while I’m playing. Pretty simple precautions. Not sure what’s going on behind the scenes for these players to get banned but devs also need to implement something that lets the anti cheat know that handhelds are OK. Because there is no advantage when playing on these devices.
Thanks for the video man! So far I’m only playing on Xbox and never used any PC for gaming I play decent and would want to be able to still play competitive As I’m a dad now I don’t always want to use our families main TV So I’m looking for a handheld that can do the following: Allow me to play MW3 with my Xbox account without latency or any disadvantages Allow me to connect my arctis nova pro wireless headset Allow me to do so without much hassle and workarounds (as I’m a total noob when it comes to that stuff) Optionally allow me to play even when I’m not at home Knowing this now, do you have any recommendations? I’m looking into the new steam deck, the legion go, the ROG ally and such Also saw a Logitech dormouse cloud gaming and maybe even this is enough for my purposes ?
I think your best options are the legion go or Ally. Windows right out of the box might be preferred here if you’re aiming to play call of duty. Also the other 2 are more powerful than the steam deck and steam deck OLED. But keep in mind playing MW3 on these devices could put your account under review because the anti cheat doesn’t know how to properly detect what device you’re using due to a number of factors. I’ve played a ton of call of duty on all my devices but it wasn’t until recently, that I faced issues with being shadow banned. My account is fine and I was not permanently banned but it’s just something to consider until it’s further addressed by devs. Play at your own risk. As for everything else you want to do, you should be able to everything you mentioned like connecting your headset if it’s Bluetooth, or has a USB dongle, playing cod using the same Xbox account, game streaming, playing with little latency etc. the legion go is my device of choice right now because of the bigger screen and high refresh rate. Playing shooters on the bigger screen compared to the Ally makes it easier to see and is more immersive. I’ve traveled with both, they can both achieve gaming away from home. Detaching the controllers from the legion go and simply having the tablet itself and a controller of your choice is a nice option to have as well. The kickstand is super useful and I found myself using that a lot. The Ally doesn’t fall short of performance but it’s really just a preference thing. It is however lighter and has an anti glare screen which is nice. But there’s a risk you could fry your sd card reader easily because of where it is on the system. Controllers and headsets can also be connected, game streaming works well, and the Ally has a more polished UI/Software that makes using windows and changing settings easier. This was just a quick overview based on my experiences. Keep in mind we all use our devices differently. Think about how you’ll actually be using this and what you might find more beneficial for your circumstances, and then make a choice. Hope I was able to help atleast a bit. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
@@Misaac damn, I really appreciate that detailed and quick response a lot man🙏🏻 Really hard to decide for me as I simply do not have any experience with PC gaming at all Private and for work I use Apple since years so also not familiar with windows However I would also be fine with over time purchasing some games on the device and explore those as I think only using either one of them only for streaming COD is probably really not valuing what they can do right?!? And to really understand, would it only allow be to do cloud gaming, so still be depending on my Xbox or can I play MW3 on it without my Xbox being turned on? And or would it also be an option to simply purchase mw3 on Steam or wherever else I have to and then simply download it on the device and play it „legally“ without any possibly issues of shadow banning and such? Thanks again for your time 👊🏻
@@ShotgunGuenni if you don’t want to buy the game again, you can stream the game off of your Xbox via the Xbox app on windows, yes your xbox needs to be on for this since call of duty is not a part of cloud gaming. And the game would be streaming directly from your system. I wouldn’t recommend this as the best experience but it’s an option. It does avoid the issue of potentially shadow banning your account. If you rebuy the game on Steam, you would just link your Xbox account and your Steam account to the same Activision account and play on that same account regardless of where you log in from. I legally purchased the game on Steam and have played using a Windows operating system. I played MW2 on the ROG Ally since the system was released early last year and have gone on to play warzone and MW3 as well (same on the legion go) The anti cheat issue with the handhelds is something that needs to be fixed by developers as it is technically not supposed to be an issue. ASUS themselves provide an optimization guide/article for MW2/Warzone for the Ally. So it’s not a matter of us playing against what is allowed. We aren’t doing anything wrong by buying or playing the game on a device that is intended to play the game. That is why our accounts are cleared after being put under review. Streaming the game is a safer bet for sure but like you said it kinda defeats the purpose of having a handheld powerhouse at your fingertips. Obviously you aren’t just limited to this game on the device either. There is the option to just stream this game specifically for safe measure if you don’t wanna take your chances. While still taking advantage of an Xbox game pass ultimate membership that you might already own, and/or the vast library of games on Steam that you might want to check out. As well as epic games and many other launchers you might want to try. There are so many free games to check out as well. Streaming games works really well depending on the game and you save a ton of battery life, but it’s not quite as impressive as running the game on the actual system. Since encountering the issue with COD, I’ve mainly either streamed it from my actual desktop pc or ps5. It’s a huge game file so it’s allowed me to download a bunch of other games in place of it 😂. I would personally take my chances and still play it on my handhelds in the future but that’s just because I’m a content creator and call of duty happens to be the most viewed game on this channel. If MW3/ Warzone is the whole reason for you to get a handheld I completely understand how this could be a deal breaker but I think it’s better you go into this space atleast knowing what to expect if you do indeed go through with getting one of these devices.
@@Misaac appreciated again man, you really make it easy for me to understand all this so I appreciate you taking your time doing so! I love that I actually could connect my steam and Xbox together basically allowing me to not just progress here or there but basically always Buying the game twice would kind of suck but it’s a pill I likely would swallow to have the actual experience Also I always wanted to test games like god of war and I’d assume I could via steam? So I’m pretty much about to get one , now it really is just deciding which one Since Im definitely not tech advanced enough to actually notice differences between the both devices I actually think the bigger screen on the legion is what I’d prefer One thing I’d like to ask, is the experience on the legion a little „wabbly“ due to the ability to take of the controllers or does it feel just as stable as the ally ? Definitely binging your vids currently, liking and subbing , you deserve it💪🏻
@@ShotgunGuenni Really appreciate your time as well. Means alot. I know this space is relatively new to many so questions are expected and unserstandable. I am happy to help where i can. to answer your question about the wobble to the controllers, they are SUPPOSED to be fairly sturdy when properly attached to the device. My left controller has no notieceable wobble to it. The right one however, came defective out of the box, slightly chipped where it attaches to the device, making it notiecably wobbly especially when I played in a moving vehicle, i noticed it the most. I made peace with this defect since it is not affecting my overall experience and is a defect with the controller itself and not the actual tablet. When playing stationary Its not a big deal in terms of feeling a ton of wobble. My thought behind this, was that i would rather use the controller this way until they sell controllers seperately or make different colored controllers to replace it. I also did not want to go through the pain of returning the device and potentially getting one with other defects that could be more serious.
I have a question in MWZ. With this setting it seems like the game crashes only in MWZ but not in multiplayer. Could the problem be in the graphics settings or vram settings
I’m in my honeymoon phase with the go. So obviously I’m more drawn to it right now but so far I prefer Armoury crate over legion space and the weight of the Ally is comforting and I can’t go wrong with performance on the Ally. But the giant screen on the GO is a game changer.
@@MobileDecay It's a piece of plastic with lights. It is cool, neat, awesome not gorgeous or beautiful. It's like comparing a keyboard to your girlfriend or wife.
How did you get your dualsense controller to work right? I connected an xbox pro controller, but couldnt get any of the buttons/inputs to work right even with the setting on xbox controller. I must be missing something cause i have no issues with the controller on a windows PC.
Yes. My right one is actually chipped at the part where it latches onto the the tablet. It still latches on and stays but wiggles more than the left one. The wiggle isn’t as noticeable until I played in the car and realized how much it was wiggling from the bumps in the road lol. It came this way but I rather not return it for this reason risking getting another unit that’s faulty for some other worse reason. This is just the controller that’s detachable and I could replace later on if they sell separate controllers (hopefully in other colors) also it doesn’t affect me when playing stationary over a table or my lap as much.
Hi! How are you able to play on legion go without being shadow banned? My account was put into review once I signed into the game from steam on my legion go. Can’t find a match now 😢
I’m not sure what the root cause for people getting banned is. Hopefully they address this in the future. So far I’ve been able to play with no issues.
How do you play call of duty without taking the joycons off? Plz let me know i have trouble trying to figure this out I thought in order to play call of duty i had to detach the joycons to play but you dont but i have know idea how to play in just handheld mode like you are doing plz tell me how you did it.
No plans on getting it anytime soon. But if I had it I would play it on there since I’ve tried it on the OG steam deck and it was great I’m sure the OLED would only be better.
The Lenovo is far better for my use case than the steam deck. But everyone is different and delending on what you play could make a big difference in people’s preference.
Hey question I wanted to know if your having this problem ok so I have a 30000mah 65w battery bank and when I'm at 8% on the legion and the battery bank is at 100% I'm charging the legion go and it would show on the bank that it's charging but the legion won't pass 13% like it won't keep charging pass that even though the bank and the legion go both show that it's charging.....then the battery bank well hit 0% dead then I would like say forget it and turn off the legion go and turn it back on like prob 10min later and it would say 38% ???? Weird....what do you think?
That’s weird it seems like it’s draining your power bank first while retaining whatever charge you already had on the device. Which is normal for power banks when in use. Usually when the system is off though, the power bank will actually charge the system up. Now the power bank saying 0% and then the system saying you charged up to 38% idk about that one lol.
@Misaac yeah I know and I tested to while using the internet and it started give it juice but when I game play it stays in that same percentage without raising the percentage but with the Allies different this doesn't happen........ I was thinking that it's a CPU boost or a more wattage problem but I doubt it I feel like it could be a bug that could be fixed or something like that I know the Allies been out longer so they probably already fixed it but it doesn't have that problem but I don't know you tell me
I feel like it maintains 80-90 fps while on 800p with FSR 2 set to quality. Everything else pretty much on low. You could probably get a little more with FSR set to balanced or performance and a little less if you’re on a higher resolution.
@whoareyou3781 it's been out for awhile. Let's see how lenovo handles drivers updates and for performance!!! We should see the same results as the ally!
It’s tough. I’m content with the performance from both but I really enjoy the bigger screen especially for fps games with the Legion Go. For portability and weight I’d say the Ally suits those needs better and performs just as great in games. I’m still in my honeymoon phase with the Legion GO so I could just be being bias since I haven’t had it for that long but I’m really enjoying it a lot right now. The lack of VRR to me hasn’t been an issue at all in games especially since I mostly enjoy playing at 800p so that the games can maintain a constant framerate. Spending more time with the 2 will allow me to see which I like more and why.
Depends if you actually see yourself using a handheld device a lot or if a laptop is more convenient for your situation. If it’s strictly gaming and you feel like you can adapt to the comfort of a handheld, and actually care to keep up with the handheld and its updates, accessories, battery life etc then it makes sense. But if you see yourself using a laptop more with a controller plugged in or MnK, and are looking for something more powerful and straight forward, the laptop makes sense. What you play also needs to be taken into consideration. You just have to weigh out your options and realize how it is you like to game most and how you see yourself gaming in the future. I can’t decide for you.
No I have not got banned. I’ve heard of people getting banned but I’ve been able to play with no issues and don’t use any third party software nor do I mess with fan curves to play this game which seems to be the issue with people getting banned.
