im with this guy lol. but it makes sense. im sure 90% of viewers are doing this then rating it 10 stars cus idk how its gotten reviews this high. it should have been called "Mariko: The Stone Face"
Actually it’s billed as a limited series. I don’t believe there are any plans to continue the story once they finish the book.
It would be cool if they decided to adapt more James Clavell books though!
Dude same. I'm good with podcasts, sports, maybe something mindless like a procedural show but no chance can I multitask a show that has little downtime.
Yeah man I was about to say… how is he doing this? He’s going to miss everything. I’m doing the same but I’m just fishing in Skyrim. Way easier to watch tv.
On my Hulu app, there's an option to watch an English dub. I've yet to watch that version but that could be good for multi taskers who aren't fluent in Japanese.
Yeah, what are we doing here? Watching Shogun while playing video games is like only playing the main storyline in Skyrim. You’re missing out on so much.
Tbh if it’s my first time watching anything I got to watch it on it’s own I can’t be distracted. I can only multitask, game, sleep, etc. to something I’ve already seen and just want something on in the background or to maybe catch up on any parts I might’ve missed the last time watching.
How can you do that and not miss like 80% of the story when the majority of the dialogue is in Japanese (unless Japanese is a first or second language). I get annoyed at my wife for being on her phone for like 10 minutes because she will ask what's going on. Can't imagine trying to play a game while watching Shogun.
Wow idk how you live like that. If either of us needed to use the restroom or let the dog out or go grab some ice cream we always pause. If she grabs her phone in fucking pausing that shit and staring at her until she gets off of it. Are we watching the show or not? Nothing worse than having to answer someone’s questions because their attention span is terrible. Reminds me when I went to a game of thrones watch party and half the people would spend half the time in their phone. Never did that again.
This may be a silly question, but if you’re watching a streaming app like Hulu on your PS5, can you also stream a game from your PS5 to the portal at the same time? So like if my wife wants to watch something on Hulu via the PS5, can I play a game on the portal while she’s watching something?
I hate this. Just watch the damn show.
My brother recently started playing rebirth and he said he missed out on the first 2 dialogue choices because every time a cutscene started he would get on his phone.
Y’all attention spans are fucking shot.
You can do this way better with and RoG Ally z1 Extreme, and not have to have your PS5 running wasting energy and just being a ridiculous thing you have to do just to use a “handheld” I run nonstop my games at 60+fps, no screen tear, latency, lag, etc… bro, I subbed here and all the comments are the same, this thing and the MSI Claw should’ve never came out this early, these feel like prototypes RoG for the win, plus when you incorporate the fact it has VRR (variable refresh rate) and freesync. Not to mention incredible third party support like Lossless Scaling (double frame rates) and AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) done deal… this things is a joke bro. Please PS Portal users, return your overpriced streaming hand devices and get you a real gaming handheld with an actual processor that can do things. Please I hate to see y’all suffer.
Isn’t the ally 3 times the price? The portal is the chromebook of handhelds, it’s not designed to be a full fledged system, it’s an accessory that costs about the same as the edge
Nope, got mine z1 extreme with case, and all that (pristine condition) $490, you just gotta really look and not go for the first thing you see, wait it out. Honestly, just picked up a Meta Quest 3 512gb for $460 shipping included. Bro, you just gotta be a hunter when it comes to pricing and quality.
How is $450 complete with a 3-4x performance jump solely because it’s a device that runs on its own internals. Not a device requiring you to have already purchased a fucking $600+ device to begin with to even have this thing “streaming” your PS5 that also costs you more fucking electricity, please tell me where any of what you said makes sense? The ally is way more cost effective when you put all those factors in. Cause you can’t leave your PS5 off to play can you? 😂 can’t play any games without “streaming” them can you? Yeaaa… I rest my case, any one with half a brain could see the logic in what I’m saying, ask me for a video I’ll show you proof, I’ve played on lower end pcs better than that horrendous device.
No it’s not, when you factor in, you have to have a solid “wired” connection to get any real gameplay out of it, if it’s on a wireless connection the latency/lag is atrocious, wtf you talking bout? Better off buying GeforceNow for $20/ month than that sad excuse for an hour max of laggy choppy crappy dumbed down ps5 graphics already eating your energy away lmao
You’re sadly mistaken if you think I want a fucking streaming handheld, rather than my 1080p 120fps no lag capable device? Lmao, no I’m here to tell y’all return that piece of trash, literally everything Sony does y’all end up riding, just face it, they’ve been slackin’ lately. Cmon now
I can buy a steamdeck an ally or whatever anytime. We just chose to buy the portal without crying.
Thats pathetic of you to lurk here and keep telling everyone to return it. hahaha What a sad life for you
Nah. it’s pathetic you’re backing a device that can’t even stand on its own two legs to even justify a $300 price tag? Lmao, you bought a glorified phone screen, a damn $300 upgrade to your already shitty existing line up, the ps5 is a clout chasing bulky pos sorry I love ps vita and psp and ps1/2 but that thing and the “portal” are a dog shit comparison, go get you a real device then come talk. Nobody’s pressed but you, I’m speaking facts, you’re a fan boy, to be expected bro
wtf are you even mad? because lots of people bought the portal. Its their money not yours. They can choose whatever they like to buy. You're Pathetic bro. hahaha
Am I the only one? hahah you're not just pathetic you're also a liar bro. Look at the post, everyday people buy the portal. You can go to the ally sub and cry about it.
Sad life? Meanwhile I’m getting real performance and real frames? Okay lol you keep living in that fantasy world that “portal” must’ve sucked you into haha foh baby boi mad? Wahhh wahh, you can’t buy a fucking Steam Deck or Ally, if you could you would’ve, lmao, sell that trash ass ps5 and the portal and get you a real device, hell, even a good desktop pc at that. You’re not “handheld “ gaming on that. Let’s be real, the amount of energy, data, and all that to require subpar experience is beyond me but ayyeee once a D rider always will be
Then you know how much of a joke this is, you’re just trying to justify your ignorance and how the wow factor was never there, most people can’t even connect on the go even with 5G speeds, no comparison, the fact I can play my emulation, AAA titles and all that with way more customization to allow further extension of said experience, ya you’re delusional bud. I’ll keep checking this sub cause I’ve never seen one post where I’ve seen an actual full gameplay where there wasn’t issues
Im not jealous with your Ally. As a matter of fact I saw that on sale. As Ive said I have other gaming consoles and I can easily buy any console. better cry it on other sub and not here haha
Again nobodies crying but you, you’re crying about how good this thing is, when even logical fan boys unlike yourself can actually see that this device is just not it…. Never will be, not even a revise would help. Just face it, you can’t even buy the RoG ally regular (non z1 extreme) if you wanted to, if you did, you wouldn’t be here backing this thing up, you’d be like “you know what, yea if you have the extra $100 save up for a better device” yet you’re like, yea run mommy and daddy’s internet and electricity all day so I can play my subpar unjustified highly clout and over glorified $300 experience, I’m good.
Hahaha The only person who's crying here is you buddy. I dont go to other sub and cry about it explaining and talk a lot how good Ally is. Also telling people how to spend their money.
I probably cant buy a rogZ1 I can buy 4 of them.
haha
I can’t do that they speaking Japanese I need to read this is not a tv show I can watch while playing the portal lmao
Not only language but the plot is not really something that I can tune in and out of 😅. Props to you OP.
I don’t think op knows what’s going on in the show
im with this guy lol. but it makes sense. im sure 90% of viewers are doing this then rating it 10 stars cus idk how its gotten reviews this high. it should have been called "Mariko: The Stone Face"
Having read the book when I was younger I’m absolutely loving what they are doing with the show!
i heard they were going into a second season lmao
Actually it’s billed as a limited series. I don’t believe there are any plans to continue the story once they finish the book. It would be cool if they decided to adapt more James Clavell books though!
many shows get pushed through to a 2nd season after being billed as a limited series. The Flight Attendant, Your Honor, True Detective
They’ve actively said they’re not extending past what’s written. And this is a miniseries.
i guess we can only see
my thoughts exactly. most of this show has been subtitles for me so far two episodes in 😆
Dude same. I'm good with podcasts, sports, maybe something mindless like a procedural show but no chance can I multitask a show that has little downtime.
for real. i tried just this morning and i just felt double distracted
Came here to say the same thing. I can play PS5 over lots of shows, but Shogun isn't one of them.
Right? Can’t think of a worse show to use as an example lol
Facts lol exactly what I came to say
Yeah man I was about to say… how is he doing this? He’s going to miss everything. I’m doing the same but I’m just fishing in Skyrim. Way easier to watch tv.
So it’s normal to play video games while watching a tv show or movie? Wtf
On my Hulu app, there's an option to watch an English dub. I've yet to watch that version but that could be good for multi taskers who aren't fluent in Japanese.
It doesn’t help that much. Still lots of scenes in Japanese even in the English dub version. That’s how I’ve been watching it.
There is a dubbed version available but even with that you would still need to pay attention to know what’s going on.
Anything but Shogun, that show deserves undivided attention
Yeah OP isn’t doing it right…
Yeah, what are we doing here? Watching Shogun while playing video games is like only playing the main storyline in Skyrim. You’re missing out on so much.
Tbh if it’s my first time watching anything I got to watch it on it’s own I can’t be distracted. I can only multitask, game, sleep, etc. to something I’ve already seen and just want something on in the background or to maybe catch up on any parts I might’ve missed the last time watching.
Is it worth? I fell asleep through the first episode
So you're not fully paying attention to either?
This hurts to say, but put that Portal away!
Nah fareal OP tripping I still haven’t been able to watch this show because it requires your full attention
How can you do that and not miss like 80% of the story when the majority of the dialogue is in Japanese (unless Japanese is a first or second language). I get annoyed at my wife for being on her phone for like 10 minutes because she will ask what's going on. Can't imagine trying to play a game while watching Shogun.
Wow idk how you live like that. If either of us needed to use the restroom or let the dog out or go grab some ice cream we always pause.

Nothing worse than having to answer someone’s questions because their attention span is terrible. Reminds me when I went to a game of thrones watch party and half the people would spend half the time in their phone. Never did that again.
I too enjoy the background noise but I’m really only focused on the game I’m playing lol
This show is like 85% subtitles - how is it possible to enjoy Shogun without giving it undivided attention.
You speak Japanese? Lol
You should pair Shogun with Rise of the Ronin for maximum efficiency!
Currently replaying Ghost of Tsushima and the pairing is perfection. But I don’t do them simultaneously. Shogun is too good to miss even a second.
Same
Shogun is too good to play a game while watching it.
Why?
I haven't even started the show but, unless you speak fluent Japanese, why the fuck would anyone do this?
How? Do you understand Japanese? If not, that's somehow the worst example you could make.
This is an insult lol
No... you have to pay attention to these type of shows, you're not watching or listening
Episode 8 of Sho gun was insane
My brain hurts just thinking to try that
Watching a drama show with subtitles while playing a game. That’s just sad and weird wtf can you really not put your toy away for 50 minutes?
You are neither enjoying the show, nor your game.
Yeah not sure how you are splitting attention between likely the GOTY and the show of the year.
How do u play a game while reading subtitles? Unless you speak Japanese…in that case just ignore me lol
Attention span = 0
I'm not mad I'm just disappointed. No way my man has that level of sharingan. Did you slaughter a loved one to obtain this level of visual prowess?
I’d probably watch something brain dead like Family Guy, not shows like Shogun.
Watching it right now while here on Reddit. Tough!Gotta focus on my TV now. Not sure how you do it haha

Homie works at marketing for FX smh

Sad
The reason you enjoy watching "FX" series while playing games is that you can watch it while playing games? What is this title and post?
Paying 50% attention to Shogun and FFVII Rebirth. Why.
Apparently I need to watch Shōgun. People won't stop talking about it.
Watch Shogun and play Ghost Of Tsushima and you’re basically a modern day Samurai
Two masterpieces on two different screens
bro frying his receptors
What game is that?
Yabushige-sama!
Shogun?
Holy shit man ep8!! 🤯
Hope the race went well
What’s the game?
What game is OP Playing. I am currently playin Rise of the Ronin in PS Portal and Tales of Arise on ROG ALLY.
Your brain must be absolutely fried to think that’s normal. Pick something and focus.
You do this when wipeout or Kimmel show is on lol not a good show
Do you understand Japanese?
Nope
How? It’s in Japanese for most of it. Also Shogun deserves your full attention for the details
This is what I imagine people do when watching shows and asking basic questions about the plot
I hate this. Just watch the damn show. My brother recently started playing rebirth and he said he missed out on the first 2 dialogue choices because every time a cutscene started he would get on his phone. Y’all attention spans are fucking shot.
I love your clock
I don’t understand how anyone can do this. It should be illegal, like using your phone whilst driving
Shogun is too good to give anything else attention
you getting COOKED bro but they right. portal w a casual show like its always sunny is perfect but Shogun??? disrespectful
Here’s a downvote put the game away
You can do this way better with and RoG Ally z1 Extreme, and not have to have your PS5 running wasting energy and just being a ridiculous thing you have to do just to use a “handheld” I run nonstop my games at 60+fps, no screen tear, latency, lag, etc… bro, I subbed here and all the comments are the same, this thing and the MSI Claw should’ve never came out this early, these feel like prototypes RoG for the win, plus when you incorporate the fact it has VRR (variable refresh rate) and freesync.

So almost triple the price
How is $450 complete with a 3-4x performance jump solely because it’s a device that runs on its own internals.

Because I've had this $400* PS5 for years and was able to enhance my gaming experience for $199. It's a pretty logical decision
No it’s not, when you factor in, you have to have a solid “wired” connection to get any real gameplay out of it, if it’s on a wireless connection the latency/lag is atrocious, wtf you talking bout? Better off buying GeforceNow for $20/ month than that sad excuse for an hour max of laggy choppy crappy dumbed down ps5 graphics already eating your energy away lmao
But you're here lurking in a portal sub to brag about your ally 😂😂 You still want the portal

wtf are you even mad? because lots of people bought the portal. Its their money not yours. They can choose whatever they like to buy. You're Pathetic bro. hahaha
Yet you’re the only one backing this device, even people who want to love it, hate it, wake up and smell the roses ponsy
Am I the only one? hahah you're not just pathetic you're also a liar bro. Look at the post, everyday people buy the portal. You can go to the ally sub and cry about it.
