Finally, a Pokémon game that runs smoothly and without major technical issues. But is it fun to play? There are some nice gameplay improvements, ditching the traditional turn-based combat in favor of a more dynamic system. It feels closer to an MMORPG where you select a skill, target an enemy, and wait for cooldowns. It can be fun, letting you rush around collecting items, fighting wild Pokémon, and quickly moving on to the next activity, but it does get repetitive at times.
Lumiose City is a densely packed area full of NPCs and Pokémon, with no more roaming adventures across the world. I don’t necessarily mind that, but it starts to feel old quickly. Many buildings are basically flat textures with only small differences, and overall the visuals seem constrained by the aging Switch hardware. The developers clearly had to compromise. You can cross the map in just a couple of minutes. There’s verticality, like jumping onto rooftops, but it doesn’t add much variety. Indoor areas look much nicer by comparison, but there are only a few, and many visible doors aren’t accessible at all (the NPCs you need are just standing outside). That feels very underwhelming compared to older entries in the series.
The animations are excellent, characters look great, and the cutscenes have action. But it all falls flat when no character has any voice acting, not even a little. It’s very disappointing.
Pokémon Z-A’s main strengths are its dynamic combat and more fluid gameplay. That might satisfy longtime Pokémon fans, but for newcomers this feels like a very “kiddy” game. The first few hours are slow and overly hand-holdy, as if you’ve never played a game before. I found the most fun came from looping around the city, battling Pokémon nonstop, but with a constrained map and shallow character interactions, it’s hard to recommend to anyone who isn’t already a fan.
Yes, it’s better than Scarlet/Violet, but that was a low bar to clear.

Unable to hear footsteps
on October 18, 2025
Posted by: Dark
Verified Purchase:Yes
I tried many things to improve the audio quality in games like Call of Duty Warzone and I failed, PC or PS5 the game sound is muddy and makes the enemy footsteps hard to hear them. The headset volume is also kinda low, but it improved a lot with earpads from Wicked cushion, also it added a nice look to my headset matching the red accents, it turned the sound way too boomy so I tried the EQ recommended settings but they didn’t help, I also went further and tried specific EQ for Warzone using the improved earpads to no avail. Funny thing my music wireless headphones makes sniper shots from BF6 sound realistic with full body, here the Astros are disappointing tiny, and adding the EQ settings for FPS games is even worse. So sound quality it totally failed to me, the best thing about this headset is the microphone quality, they got that right with clear voice and also reducing background noise without affecting the voice fullness. But the new A50 feels a step backwards from my older A40 TR, I can’t remove the mic or much less change mic sides, I can’t snap the caps out to make them semi open, the volume control is in a position where I accidentally touch the wheel control when grabbing the headset, it’s frustrating and makes having to readjust my volume an inconvenience. The bluetooth function is tethered to the base, so forget about using it with other devices on the go since you need to carry the base and it needs a power outlet. The multi connection works pretty well I was able to switch between PC and PS5 with no issue, this is the main selling point for this headset and I preferred the USB port connection for the devices rather than the HDMI from the X version, but it comes with only one USB cable for connecting the devices, this is an expensive headset
at least it should bring the other 2 cables for connecting multiple devices as advertised. Ultimately these features are downed by the ok sound quality, it’s not good value, you can get better sound quality elsewhere and being unable to hear footsteps properly is a no in my book. Maybe you’re just interested in connecting multiple devices with good wireless connectivity and great mic but a headset should sound as a good as the price range is being set for.

Stylish and Comfortable, Great Value for the Price
on May 2, 2025
Posted by: Dark
This Razer chair delivers sleek, minimalist gaming aesthetics with solid ergonomic features. Assembly was easy, and the mesh seat and back keep things cool and breathable. It has adjustable height, backrest, and basic lumbar support. I normally use a Steelcase Think, so I noticed the difference in armrest comfort, but that’s expected at this price point. While it doesn’t quite match high-end ergonomic chairs, it still offers great value and comfort for long gaming or work sessions. If you're looking for a stylish, functional chair under a premium brand, the Fujin is a strong pick.

I was looking for a wireless mic to record voice while taking videos with my phone, and I’m so impressed with this set that I now want to use it with my computer as well. The package includes almost everything you need, except for a charger. It comes with three windshields since the transmitter can also be used as a recorder. Additionally, there are two USB-C cables, one USB-C to Lightning cable for iPhones, two TRS 3.5mm cables, and a snug pouch bag.
Connecting it to my iPhone 15 Pro Max via USB-C prompted me to download the RODE Central app. The app required updates for both the transmitter and the receivers, which was a bit tricky due to the lack of clear instructions. However, once I figured out the process, the devices paired seamlessly.
The RODE Central app offers multiple options such as gain control, volume adjustment, and the ability to use the mic on the receiver. The package also includes stickers for customization and magnets to secure the receiver over clothing. The windshields are easy to attach and help prevent plosives from affecting the recording quality.
These mics produce high-quality recordings, making them a great replacement for my wired mic on my computer. They work plug-and-play on my PC, with Windows detecting the transmitter via USB-C. The TRS option, however, did not perform as well in my case.
Considering the quality and features, I find this set to be a great value, even compared to other options like the DJI Mic 2 and the RODE Wireless Go II. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable wireless mic system.

If you're like me, searching for a 3080 model this year but hesitant about the exorbitant price tag of the 4080, consider saving some money by opting for this alternative. The Asus Tuf model boasts a solid build with a metal shroud, an extra HDMI 2.1 port for added convenience, and minimal RGB lighting. Since Nvidia didn't produce a Founders Edition for this card, this option provides the closest experience with slightly improved cooling.

probably the best fighting game out there.

Fantastic! silly fun single player world, worth of playing to learn every character and pimp up your own avatar, same avatar can be used for the online hub which is an arcade style place. you don't need to spend a cent since the world tour contains nice looking clothes and accessories that are easy to earn and its campaign will entertain you for many hours. as usual in any online multiplayer game avoid the spammers and players looking to pick a easy fight on new players, you can see players stats very clear, also you can set parameters like crossplay off. the graphics quality on world tour is not as good as the main game but it's a trade off with so many stuff going on you can fight almost anything. the traditional game mode contains more than enough variety of character and stages, I keep getting up late just fighting anything, modern controls are good for new players and old school ones that just want to have a relaxing match

ok quality no VRR on my case
on December 12, 2022
Posted by: Dark
Verified Purchase:Yes
it's ok and a tad bit overpriced, I got this product for the VRR function, well it didn't work, the thing is I have elgato hd 60 from 2014 and it allows me to have Gsync on my display when capturing the cloned display to my second PC, the only drawback I was forced to use 1080p resolution, with this new elgato HD60 X I was expecting the same with higher resolution 1440p, but these modern products are worse than the old ones, also it doesn't have a encoder, so you have to use your cpu or gpu, it's expensive for what it is

Polished experience with ray traced courts
on September 9, 2020
Posted by: Dark
Verified Purchase:Yes
That's right! ray tracing games are also in ps4 pro / xbox one x, even though is a cloned technique it works amazing, ok right to the game: NBA 2K21 feels and look almost the same than last year, but it is a polished version, mycareer was enjoyable I think better than the last one, I can see few shortcuts here in there that maybe because we are getting two career story with the next gen, maybe next gen will have ray traced career mode and park, but for now I enjoy the graphics update in myteam, triple threat looks awesome, yeah the neighborhood doesn't look that much different besides the new stage "the 2k beach" but that's ok there is no more room this gen to improve that part and that's why I think next gen is getting the new mycareer. The shooting is ok if you are playing offline, let me explain, in playground you are playing online there is a massive input lag going on right now, they probably will fix my main issue, when I shoot I saw the shoot meter too late, it's like I'm shooting blind, animations can speed up to catch the lag and make you miss as well, so be patience, maybe just try 2v2 cuz you will have less lag, 3v3 is more people and more lag issues, I'm fine with playing nba and myteam, btw my team is harder idk maybe is me, but it's very nice to play, you can take advantage of the right stick shooting I think it makes harder plays easier in some situations, but I don't recommend it for online play cuz the reason I explain before, this method you must see the shot meter, so far I have play 2 full days, thanks to the kobe bryant mamba forever edition you won't need to struggle that much, and you will have the ps5 version with extra 100k vc to rock mycareer, I hope it pleases long time fans

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects ~ just like with a conventional pencil.

I'm not exaggerating, this pencil works flawlessly, nice addition to latest budget ipad, ipad air 3rd gen and ipad mini 2019, it has a lot of precision, easy to use, I don't like to charge it plug into the ipad unless I don't have other way it just takes like 5 min and you are good to go for a long period, a full charge might take about 1 hour from wall charger and last many hours or weeks in stand by, very reliable product, I know you might think but apple pencil 2 should be better well I think they operates about the same just apple pencil 2 charges in a different way and it has matte texture for grip, I like both, but this one works with a wide option of ipads while apple pencil 2 just with the latest ipad pro that's a bummer.

New super mario wii u deluxe is a port directly from the wii u console, which means little have change, but hey don't change what isn't broken, of course we want some extras there we have the expansion called new super luigi wii u, plus some extras like toadette and nahbit as playable character, new games modes to challenge the very best players, and co op up to 4 players in the same screen, kudos for that you can enjoy playing with family and friends, the graphics had a bump from hd to full hd resolution all that 4 players even with zooming out the stage on screen does not cause any performance issue, everything is buttery smooth, I highly recommend this game to those who missed the wii u release and any snes player, sit back and relax this game brings joy.

By damc34
from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
I was hoping to notice a huge difference playing games on the X compared to my OG X1 ... The visuals are definitely better in all games I have tried so far. The part that hasn't impressed me is game load times. In particular fortnite. It takes just as long to boot up that game on the X ... Other than that the OS does run quicker. I can move from menu to menu way faster. Now I just need to buy a TV with true hdr 10 to get the best looking version of my games

The loading times in fortnite are game related I tried on ssd having almost the same loading time, on PC fortnites takes more time than many games as well if you compare it against cod blackout which is a blink compare to fornite you should stop supporting their digital store because time is more valuable than money and sure they don’t respect you time

My son purchased this gaming headset based upon its bluetooth capabilities. It works fine for an iPhone and is comfortable to wear. It pairs with a PC but his friends say the mic sounds muffled. Also, he could not hear everything during a Fortnight game. Lastly, it will not pair with a PS4 Pro. All in all, this is a wired gaming headset that can be used with your phone when you are out and about using bluetooth.

Bluetooth is the one to blame for it
November 25, 2018
I could do a trick with my tv that support sound over bluetooth and pair any bluetooth headset then use my console using tv sound, the bad is bluetooth sound technology has latency, if that doesn't bother maybe a in a quiet game that won't matter but you can't match the sound with what you see in the screen accurately for games that require it, that's why most wireless gaming headset uses radio frequency instead of bluetooth, hyperx made this headphone to mix the alpha cloud quality with a bluetooth receiver and battery for those folks that want to use them for watch movies and listen to music. That would be the same if you buy Bose quietcomfort, until bluetooth evolves to get low latency is when console will pair with that type of headphones.

By Horizon

I purchased this TV on a busy Black Friday evening. For the longest time, I had my heart set on one of the Samsung QLED’s, I am Samsung fan for most of their technologies. I knew this was going to be more of an investment for me. This would be a TV I would have for a long time considering my finances and the last time I bought a TV was maybe 2010; time for an upgrade.
After doing more research than my Master’s degree thesis, I decided to take a deep dive into the LG world; I never gave them a chance before. I came across the LG SK9000 and I was really happy with what I saw and I took many trips to Best Buy talking with sales associates to dissect it as much as we could. I want everyone to read this next sentence very carefully: There is no such thing as a PERFECT TV. Hear me out. Just how there are no perfect people, there is no perfect TV. There is the good and the bad with everything and I highly, highly, recommend everyone to do your homework and take trips to the store and see things for yourself. It doesn’t matter if you are in the market for a TV, kitchen appliance, whatever.
I was at a point where I just said, enough is enough with the research, time to commit! I went in Black Friday evening, and talked to one of the sales associates named, Mitch. It is time to put this gentleman in the spot light simply because he earned it. Even though Black Friday was in full force by now, Mitch was grounded, extremely knowledgeable, collective and seemed ready for anything. I told him I would like the LG SK9000 which he had to call the warehouse to get because they ran out on the floor. No problem. In the meantime we talked about the TV, and I could tell he was not BS’ing me. Everything we discussed in that short amount of time, Full Array Local Dimming, the 4K picture, the Remote, the User Interface, etc. Alright, time to bring up other TV companies other than LG. What Mitch did that I thought was really great was he gave straight FACTS and he let me decide on what was best for me. He didn’t necessarily push me one way or the other and did not talk negative about other products or companies, again he gave straight FACTS and he compared the TV’s I said on the spot; that’ pretty impressive. He also never let me out of his sight until I got the TV. All of this puts him in the distinguished category. I walked away with a new 4K Blu-Ray player as well.
I brought the TV home and Hello Beautiful! The setup was very easy, the picture is SPECTACULAR. I popped in Avengers Infinity War (4K UHD) and was beyond impressed! Very, very bright and sleek design! When that UHD kicked in, I couldn’t tell if Robert Downey Jr was on the TV or standing right in front of me. The Full Array Local Dimming is awesome and I understand what others are saying about the black levels in regards to some black’s look like gray. Yes and no to that comment. The black levels look fine to me. You have to remember it is still an LCD panel and not an OLED. With OLED the black levels are amazing. You can play around with settings and I feel after doing this, you can achieve whatever look you have in mind. It is not always going to be perfect out of the box. I remember seeing comments about the stand for the TV. I don’t have a problem with it at all. I think it’s sleek and I don’t have anything negative to say about the stand. Listen, if you have something negative to say about a stand for a TV, I am worried about you.
I thought the audio, Dolby Atmos was great! Although I don’t necessarily think a sound bar is %100 necessary, I bought one anyway the following day and that was a Samsung product. My advice: If it is in your budget, go for it. If a sound bar is it not in your budget, do not worry about it.
In regards to refresh rate, the motion and transition between scenes and pictures is very, very smooth. The action scenes in Avengers were super fun to watch for this very reason. 120 refresh rate is pretty much the standard anymore and I wouldn’t get too hung up on refresh rate. All companies have their own proprietary technology to enhance refresh rate and I would advise to look at what other features come along with refresh rate. i.e. Full Array Local Dimming. Reliable sources on the internet prefer this TV over other more expensive TV’s from other companies.
At the end of the day, this TV is a keeper! I will have this for a very long time and I am looking forward to movie nights, sport watching, 4K content, and much more! If you are looking for a very solid (I mean very solid) TV without spending thousands of dollars for say an OLED TV, I honestly wouldn’t think twice. Get the TV and you know what, take it back if you don’t like it. I highly doubt that will happen though!

I have to say the main differences between samsungs qled and lgs are the type of panel I can tell LG is the main developer of IPS which are one the greates panel after OLED with the only cons on blacks, but their colors are richer and more pop feeling than VA which are the samsungs of course qled are extremely well overclocked VA panels to deliver color quality as IPS but they simply doesn't look the same and their response time are usually lower not bad but I feel like they still behind IPS, just look at apple most of their displays are IPS with the add of dci p3, I would rather have one of these LG as monitor cuz they have high quality IPS panels rather than their monitors, only if they have a 43" that would be perfect for me.

Good Computer for low end computing. It is a little slow when opening multiple browser windows and multiple programs. Otherwise, a good computer for low end use.

It’s intel uhd 630 integrated graphics
May 9, 2020
What you need is pair it with an external gpu enclosure or egpu, honestly I don’t know why apple keeps using intel graphics only because the quicksync that works for few apps like video editing, if you pair this with an amd gpu it will blow away any macbook pro but you may end paying around extra $700 for that kind of solution the easiest way is to get the davinci egpu

Read or watch any review of the LG 27GL850 and you'll find that this is the best IPS, 1440p, 27" gaming monitor around. This is the same monitor without the USB hub. If you want a GL850 but can't find one, or just want to save 50 bucks, this is the next best thing.

4 out of 5Good but I would recommend WD850 if available.
By Mars770
Works with PS5 but only registered 5500 MBs read speed during setup. I replaced the drive with a WD 850 and the WD registered 6500 MBs. Honestly I didn’t see any performance issues with the 980. The drive worked flawlessly with all my PS5 games even out performing the system SSD. However, the 5500 MBs rating concerned me so I made the switch. So if you have the extra money and it’s available buy the WD 850. If not, the Samsung 980 pro is a great drive and I would recommend it!

playstation self benchmark isn't accurate
September 14, 2021
did you try few times the same benchmark? playstation benchmarks are inaccurate every test gives a different result, that's why you might thought the ssd was lowered speed when it's not, samsung ssd maybe doesn't reach the highest speeds but they are the best sustained speeds after the cache is full, most ssd have drastic slowdowns after few seconds of working due this, but I'll ignore that playstation benchmark anyway the sn850 is about the same performance than samsung 980, only con I found with western digital ssd is they consume more power while idle for no reason.

OLED at the top of its game. From the big game to being in the game, no detail goes unseen. With advanced gaming technology like NVIDIA G-SYNC, you'll crush the competition. Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture~paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. Only on OLED.

5 out of 5Best Display I've ever owned
By SatisfiedCustomer
I bought this tv to use as a monitor for PC gaming. I was on the fence about it for the longest time because of the size, but I could not be happier. This display is truly the best I have ever owned.
It is one thing to hear about OLED and see it on display, but you won't understand how incredible it actually is until you put your content on it and see how it enhances your viewing experience.
Picture quality in unmatched with deep, dark blacks, HDR looks great, colors pop, the glossy screen is so clear it's like I'm looking through glass into another world.
Something I was not expecting was just how smooth the tv feels. I came from a 144hz monitor, so I thought I knew what smooth was, but as it turns out, I was living a lie until I found this. This is truly low input lag, great silky smooth motion.
I also wasn't expecting to like the remote or UI of the TV as much as I do. My other TVs are Sony, and this honestly just blows everything else out of the water, and they very competitively priced.

Because it is OLED, you will have to watch out for burn in, but I haven't taken any extreme measures to prevent it with normal usage, and I'm going on a month with no issues yet. So long as you're aware that it's something that could happen, so you turn the tv off when you're not using it, and try to limit how long static content is displayed (such as a task bar, or HUD) you should be okay.
I was also worried about it not being bright enough for a bright room, but I haven't really found reflections to be that distracting. Yeah, it's probably better for dark rooms, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the incredible picture quality this thing offers.

Take the plunge, get OLED, get LG. I cannot recommend this TV highly enough

good thing
October 28, 2021
the motion you see now is more snappier due the fast pixel response times, also high end tvs handle motion way better, compared to your 144hz monitor experience yes it does look better, you can push it even further with black frame insertion and we are talking crt speeds territories but honestly on default it's already killing it. Glad you are able to experience a better display picture :D

3 out of 5A GREAT laptop with a BAD price tag
By BrianH
The laptop itself is a great laptop. But after tax, your looking at a compact set up that unfortunately performs about as good as a 5070 desktop or equivalent.
The BIGGEST problem however is the cooling on this laptop. It's good for about 3 weeks to a month. But shortly after, thermal throttle is present as soon as ANY program intensive work is conducted on it.
Purchased this laptop for work and gaming, but I have pretty much given up on the idea that portable gaming is a thing.
It's never the GPU that overheats or thermal throttles either. It's always the CPU. And during work loads and 3D drawings, it began faulting and rebooting at least on nce or twice a day.
Darn Shame as it truly is a nice laptop. But for nearly $3K, you may be better off just buying a cheap work laptop and utilize a eGPU to play games with it at that point, because the performance and price are better and cheaper.

if you haven't returned it, I will recommend trying silent mode and having Nvidia GPU only active when plugged to power wall. there is also G-Helper which has good reputation on doing a better job than Asus own software. I had similar experience with this laptop in a much less powerful GPU and I concluded that they advertised performance modes to hit high score benchmarks etc. but like you, in a sustained workload or after a while it starts to break down because physically is hard to keep these overclock modes running comfortably, also lifting the laptop helps but I found silent mode cutting the unnecessary power to both GPU and CPU a one click solution with a much silent operation, which I feel safe using for hours without getting a crash from overheating. I think that's how these components can breath and work comfortably but the unnecessary performance modes are just a marketing thing that hurts the laptop in the long run

Are they Bluetooth compatible with PS4?
"NO" bluetooth audio is not supported directly by ps4 or any console due latency, you can plug the headphones into the gamepad tho, that's the only around to use as bluetooth wireless but it has to be attached to your ps4 controller

bestbuy seems struggle with ps4 pro stocks not just the 500m edition, anyway I recommend try a different model I know many people like and think this is the best ps4 pro edition the truth it isn't their translucent plastic looks cool but it easily get scratched kind of annoying if you want the console to keep the nice look after you opened, so if you don't get one don't be sad it's just like any other edition imo
