If you don't have the Gears Ultimate edition now digitally. Buy it for 20 bucks. WHy? Reloaded is 40 bucks but the update is free. So it's basically a 50% discount. Willing to bet MS delists Ultimate Edition as it gets closer to launch. Pay half now.

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot (which I am playing on Switch right now) - is a Action RPG with open world aspects (i.e. Sidequests, farming items and getting into random encounter like battles but with enemies you can see to choose to avoid or fight), you can have a full fledged party at certain aspects of the game like in the side quests (up to 3 people per party).

The storyline follows the anime/manga's story heavily as you go through the Sayian arc, Freiza arc, Android arc and the Buu arc - so only Dragon Ball Z.

DLCs include the 23rd World Tournament (OG Dragon ball), Future Trunks Arc, Bardock's story (prequel featuring Goku's father's story), and "Goku's Next Journey" which includes the End of Z story.

They also released the Dragon Ball Daima DLC which btw still has DLC parts coming out later this year, they released the first part already. Its the only content that is outside of OG Dragon Ball and Z in the game.

I'm 46 hours into the game and doing the sidequests right before starting the Buu Arc - this is honestly what I wanted a Dragon Ball Z RPG to be like (in comparison to previous Dragon Ball Z RPGs like Legacy of Goku).

Dragon Ball Xenoverse/2 plays like a MMO of some sorts but isnt open world like Kakarot.

You create your own character - choice of name, race, sex, voice, etc like a MMO or one of those create your own character RPGs. You are part of what is called "Time Patrol" , think TVA from Marvel.

You start out in a hub world and you interact with NPCs to access the different modes in the game including versus modes, story, etc

The game has its own story which is separate from the Dragon Ball anime/manga - its a non-canon alternative universe type of deal that has different variation of known characters and includes new characters.

Events and stories from Dragon Ball Z, Super and GT are included through both base game and DLC.

Daima content is also in Xenoverse 2.

Kakarot's content (aside from Daima) is done.

Xenoverse 2 keeps getting new content every few months which originally ironically was suppose to get it for 1 year but...that was like 9 years ago lol. Game is so popular that they keep adding content.

I'd say get both but play Kakarot first especially if you are new to the series and not familiar with the anime/manga.

Two ROG Ally 2 models leaked, and one of them appears to be the Xbox "partner device" that's coming this year. Looks a bit funky with those massive grips added.

Appear to have different specs as one is 65w charging and one is 100w charging according to the tweet? Possibly black is Z2 Extreme and the white is Z2 or Z2 Go powered.

From the measurements looks like it's an 8" 16:9 screen and it's slightly bigger than a steam deck in size lol. A bit bulky.

ASUS ROG Ally 2 gaming handhelds leaked: up to AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme and 64GB memory - VideoCardz.com

They enhanced the labels on the back and it looks like the black one is Z2 Extreme and white one is Aerith Plus. Aerith was the steam deck chip, so the white one is basically a steam deck chip with 20w tdp instead of 15w and higher clocks.

But the black one says it's got 64gb of ram... it makes zero sense to put that much in a handheld like this. 24gb would be plenty, I see no scenario where you'd need more than 32gb in a device like this. Could just be that way during testing, a 64gb memory handheld would be ridiculously expensive and not really offer any benefit.

That won't work anymore as the cut-off date was the date of the announcement.
