AbsolutSurgen Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 It’s a really good handheld for certain use cases. Older games and indies are where it really shines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 My OLED deck is all I play now. It's simply incredible and so much easier for me to play games longer. I haven't touched my consoles in almost 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Been playing the Doom 1 + Doom 2 rereleases on it, they look and run so good on the OLED, solid 90 FPS, good stuff. Also playing through a good chunk of SMT V, which doesn't drop to like 4 FPS, unlike the Switch version, which was fucking miserable to play. As long as you understand its limits and don't go trying to run some next-gen exclusive game, it's such a good time. Absolutely S-tier for emulation as well.

Xbob42 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 5 minutes ago, Best said: TLOU 1 was released and developed for the PS5 and PC. Yes, but it's functionally a rerelease of a title from two generations ago with a big shiny coat of new paint. You might have less luck with something designed for next-gen exclusively, like, say, FF16. Because it's not just about the visuals, it's about how data is streamed and lots of other weird shit we don't think about too much. I'm not saying it can't work, I'm just saying it's gonna be a stark contrast going from running a PS4 exclusive at excellent settings with great performance, to a PS5 title that... well... Though if I'm being fair, that's still more clear than FF7 Rebirth on performance mode on a PS5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Basically he's saying don't try playing Wukong on max settings on the steam deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Bro I dunno if I'd try Wukong at *min* settings on the Steam Deck. I hear there's shit in the later game off in the distance with like 100+ million polygons just for the hell of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I don’t get into handheld gaming, probably mostly because I just never go anywhere. But if I did I’d want a deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokra Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Glad you're enjoying it, @maddux4163, and welcome back! The thing I love about the Steam Deck is just that it is so easy to quickly pick up and play for a few minutes, then suspend the game, go do something else, and come back later right where you were. Obviously not a feature that is strictly unique to the SD, but it's implemented really well. Plus the decent screen (even with the LCD version I've got), decent performance on semi-modern games, etc. I guess some people wish the battery life was longer, but honestly I rarely am able to game for more than 2-3 hours these days anyway. I love mine too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love mine too! Agreed. Mine is LCD too and it’s ABSOLUTELY stunning looking Also, I mainly use mine charged on a dock with a wireless controller WHILE I can semi watch my movies or shows lol 😂 finished up cyberpunk 2077 that way and Killer Frequency (made a thread on that game) It’s absolutely everything I could want. I can play basically all my 600 steam games and 140 GOG games in a couple clicks on demand and fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love mine too! I’m the guy who basically uses my SD plugged in anyhow. it’s a play at home device for me. I know everyone is different. But being able to install a game quickly and play is amazing. I’ve always had a large Steam library but NEVER had a device to just plug and play with them and do it portably. For what I paid, couldn’t be happier. It’s wild how I can EASILY run Cyberpunk 2077, among others on such a device. Bought and played “Killer Frequency” on it. Start to finish. 7-8 hours total but tad longer IRL. Had my tv going and using my phone for the “socials” and what not. I’m not “locked in” to it. Just kinda have it going Beautiful. Great to see you again my friend.

maddux4163 Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Mine is the “LCD” as well. But again, paid $220 for the wireless controller, system, 256gb SD card, TV dock. Won’t complain. Looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameDadGrant Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Yeah the Steam Deck is great. Obviously tons of great games are available and its so easy to pick-up-and-play. It works as a portable system about as well as Switch, so I take it with me once in a while when I travel. (I don't own a dock for it, it's 100% a portable machine for me) I'm pretty new to Steam. Which is dangerous, because I don't have much willpower to not succumb to their big sales, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I'm currently playing Cyberpunk on my deck and I can run it at high settings. It looks absolutely incredible. I've put 33 hours in this so far because I'm doing all side quests. Some of the side quests are better than the campaign. I romanced two characters which was really well done. When it's all said and done I think Cyberpunk is a 10/10 at its current state. Just incredible what CD Project Red has done to salvage this game. I haven't even touched the Phantom Liberty dlc yet.
