Honestly it'll be fine these aren't like handling fine china, I've handled plenty of M.2s and other computer components in my day without any of them breaking.

@@nastybedazzler just make sure to make a video when it breaks.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it probably all depends on your internet connection. I've played through a few games on it now like the newest Shantae and the Seven Sirens and the new Astrobot which can have some pretty intense levels that require crazy precision and I notice absolutely zero lag. And I did the Game Sack test where I would sit there and push a button repeatedly every second or so to see how long it takes for the game to actually respond and I notice nothing at all. But I'm at home on my home network. I remember trying to play Elden Ring with Remote Play on my PC in my bedroom, which is obviously in a different room than my PS5, like a year or two ago when it first came out and the lag was absolutely horrid and it made the game unplayable, I never tried that again so either the Portal is much better about it or Remote Play has just been vastly improved since I've last tried doing it NOT on a Portal. But hey, a simple answer to your question- I legit notice no lag but I have great internet. If you don't I don't know how it'll perform.

@@nastybedazzler hi, just an update. i tried putting my ps5 wired and there wasnt any lag now.. so im thinking of buying one soon.. but i just wanna ask again.. do you play souls games now? how it is for you? i dont have a souls game on my ps5 but i have on my switch and i love it.. how it is on your portal? i wanna play it on tv but i always tired whenever i get home lol so handheld gaming is what i do now.. maybe im getting old lol thanks btw

I agree. I bought it for $200 and I think it's even worth THAT price.

I agree with you. After all the shit got sorted out and the PSN went back online, I've been using this thing nonstop since I got it. I've beaten Shantae and the Seven Sirens playing it exclusively on the device and I'm at the end of Astro Bot, playing the last half of the game using this and experiencing zero issues with lag or anything of the like. As you can tell by the video I was super turned off by this thing when I first got it, but once it connected and did its thing, It's a great product. You mentioned the Switch... thats essentially what this device is. It turns your PS5 into a Switch. Anyone reading this, if that sounds like something you'd like, consider giving this a shot.

@@nastybedazzler i love it..

did you do those port forwarding? im not techie so i guess its gonna be hard on my point lol

@@muriel24mj87 you typically don't need to do anything like that unless you got a firewall up.

I wonder why things like this pop up. Obviously I had issues with it, but once it connected and worked as it should I'm almost positive I can't notice any input lag whatsoever. I've even tested it, playing Shantae which is a 2D platformer, I would push the jump button repeatedly and try to notice how long it took for her to respond to the input. I can't tell a single difference between playing on the Portal or on my PS5, but that's the nature of streaming. No matter what anyone does, there is going to be problems. And like I said at the start of this post and in my video, I know I had fucking problems with this thing lol. But now that it connected I am having zero issues with it.

Same

Yeah it's not a huge deal I did have an adaptor lying around that I was able to find so not that crazy, it's just not exactly the norm. At least not yet.

Is that a known problem with the Portal? I'm curious to know. The analog sticks are different from an actual controller, they're smaller so it might be a different case. Obviously this unit is new to me I haven't experienced any issues.

You know exactly what I meant you son of a bitch lol. And you still do.

You can connect to your other ps5

Thomas- It will link to whatever PS5 you want it to link to but it is at the mercy of that PS5 and it can only do what that PS5 can do. It can only play whatever games that PS5 can play. If you are playing a game on a disc, that disc better be in the PS5. It's limited but it's exactly what I wanted and that's why I bought it. Essentially the Portal turns the PS5 into a WII U. A lot of people compare it to the Switch but honestly it's more like the WII U, it's probably better to just keep it at the house. So far though, even though I show a lot of doubts in the video, after playing with it for a week I've really grown to like it. When it finally works, it works REALLY great. I've not had a single problem with it since I got it to connect to my PS5. And lag is a thing I don't think I've noticed whatsoever.

@@nastybedazzler when it works it’s great, i like the ergonomics of the portal compared to my rog ally x. And the screen looks very good

@@Arctis326 I agree. People bitched it wasn't an OLED I legit can't even tell the difference. For an lcd screen it's probably the best I've seen. I'll probably do a follow up review video to this one eventually since this video was more or less a first impressions video but since I've made this I've grown very fond of this device. I think there's a lot of naysayers out there and I think their opinions are valid, but theres a lot of great things to be said about this if you use it in the right conditions.

Any one of these are great. The GBA ones are better than the GC one though, straight up.

I fucking love you man, thanks for watching!

He is not uncomfortable to talk to at all sober or not, and anyone can review anything from any point of view that they want to, sorry this reviewer is not a cookie-cutter stamped KZbinr, there are plenty of those to find on other channels, since this channel doesn't seem to fit in your box perhaps you should go watch something a little more bland.

The only thing that gives me an "attitude boost" is when people like you comment on my videos. I haven't stopped cumming once since I read this you naughty boy.

I didn't hate it I liked it almost entirely up until the very end and I felt like I was clear about that. And since I didn't have this game growing up I don't have the same nostalgia for it as some people do but like the later half, like the sneak missions and bloody Mary and her random minions you need to attack and randomly succeed, things like that are irritating no matter when you play games. It would've irritated me then and it irritated me now but for the most part this review was positive. I kinda had a feeling this review was gonna step on some toes but don't get it wrong I didn't hate this game, but some of the choices the devs made towards the end were whacky.

You're right about a lot of things. When I was doing my research I saw that square and enix merged together and I read that square then made up like 90% of the staff and so I just said square bought Enix. And I disagree with you a little bit on the gameplay, I fumbled my way through a lot of RPGs in the past... I grew up in the 80s and 90s I get it, but even still this game was cryptic as hell. I know we've gotten spoiled as we get older but this game had so many crazy obscure things to do in it, it really takes the cake in my opinion. And I honestly had no idea Europe didn't get Chrono trigger until 2009. That's was just my fuck up completely. I'm glad you took the time to write this I was positive Europe got it the same time the US did and that's my bad. I'll correct this in the description as well as some of the other info you brought up.

Seriously bro I pissed ALL over the floor for this one. No regrets whatsoever. IT'S FOR CONTRA!!!

Oh and also I've seen a lot of comparisons to Strider with Sayuri... it's why I tried her in the first place! After reading about this one on Reddit before getting into it everyone kept saying how much fun she was to play so I went through to trouble of installing the DLC and giving it a shot. Once you do that though there's no turning back!! You will NOT want to play ANY of the other characters once you get used to Sayuri.
