The Steam Deck will be obsolete once the Switch 2 comes out

The only problem is that I bought mine about three months before the OLED model was announced.

It already is. I'd rather just use my laptop for portability. This thing sucks and is my biggest buyers remorse.

I have the OLED Deck and Switch. One is an emulation and digital powerhouse, and the other plays all my physical games
Stop being poor.

why did you crop out the poster name and their trans flag?

In 2020 I decided to open a savings account specifically for the switch 2 putting a little money into it each month for the console and games. It's got a little shy of 7k at this point. If Switch 2 doesn't release by Christmas I'm buying a PS5 and games. I'll still have enough left over to buy the new switch
>>
>>681529943
Yeah, so is every piece of technology to ever come out. The second you hit "purchase" on any tech, it's already obsolete.

Nintendo would be shooting themselves in the foot, they already have a near stranglehold on indie games in the console space, the majority of which are bought digitally on their e-shop. If they actually wipe people's libraries away, then it'd just push gamers towards Steams ecosystem when it comes to third party.

Battery life is better, screen is better, 90hz, and somehow lighter. It's worth more than the LCD for sure
>>
>>681529430
Whats the point when you can just get the deck 2 then?
>>
>>681532301
Better battery life, 90hz, HDR in games that have it, and the off pixels blend in with the bezel for games that only support 720p. I wouldn't rush out to get one if you already have an LCD though.

I'm 90% sure that you would need to buy BotW and TotK again to play it on Switch 2.
>>
>>681529430
The steam deck was worth it for me just because I can use to get the games I want for free. I've probably saved like €600 worth of games just by getting repacks instead.
>>
>>681532301
If you don't already have one then yeah, only go for LCD if you can't afford it. If you already own one? Wait for the "Steam Deck 2" or if you break yours.
>>

for me its always been about frame of mind. At my old administrative job I would always change into casual clothes before leaving. My coworkers would always give me shit for it but it was an important routine for me to disengage from work mode

Obviously I do that on PC too but I meant as in the general convenience of a handheld+cracked games.

It's because having all the flops in the world doesn't mean shit of you're bottlenecked by memory fetch and store operations, that and there's also several different types of flops too. So a single ambiguous "flops" measurement really does mean jack shit.

OLED response times are great and make 30 fps not even that bad.
The problem with 30 fps is when you play on an LCD that has shitty response times.

>>
>>681534086
I meant exclusives. Like games that aren't also on PC.
>>
>>681529430
They really need to lower prices for the deck. I'm just going to say it. This thing needs to meet or be lower than the switch price point full stop or it'll never break 10 million units. Literally all it offers is a little convenience while the switch offers award winning exclusive games, portable local co-op, and seamless instant transition to the big screen. They're just not even comparable unless you're a graphicsfag who also happens to have a sizeable steam library. They really have an opportunity to corner the market here because nintendo is likely raising NSO prices with the switch 2. So if they make the steam deck smaller, drop the price, and really emphasize that "NO PAID ONLINE" aspect then it'll sell. Maybe cut a deal with some devs and have the deck launch with like 2 or 3 free indie games.

i want this for piracy and emulation but it has mandatory updates and i dont trust valve to not fuck it up lol
>>
>>681529430
As a long time (about 20 years) idort, I find the deck to be a strange thing. One of my favorite things about PC gaming is the overall experience of sitting at a desk, high quality monitor with high refresh rates, using a mouse and keyboard, a good set of headphones, maybe having something on the other monitor if you're playing a low intensity game or you've got a playlist of tunes on the other screen coming out the speakers while you have the game audio piped into the headphones.

Its a vibe, as the zoomers say. While playing the deck on the shitter or in bed for a while is a really nice and novel experience its not really the same. I don't think you can compress or dilute the PC gaming experience without losing something essential.

I don't think the deck is obsolete, it is its own thing. I just marketing it as, or thinking of it as, a PC on the go is a blunder. There's no such thing as a PC on the go.

>>681532928
You are talking about game specific upgrades for switch 2, 100% sure Nintedo will charge for them if they do that. But backwards compatibily is most likely to happen, you will be playing those games in switch mode with no upgrades at a tho

>>681529430

Switch 2 is already announced to be released WITHOUT OLED model at launch.

Switch 2 is backwards compatable with Switch 1 games so you can use the Mig Switch cart = it's cracked on Day 1.

Any vulnerabilities / exploits in the Switch 2 will spread 100x faster than the switch 1, due to the fact that you can use a Mig Switch cart and download the exact game required for said exploit/vulnerabilities and there are ALWAYS day 1 exploits.

Overall;

Switch 2 will be cracked on day 1.
Switch 2 will have a worse lcd screen compared to the Switch OLED,
Switch 2 will have 10~ unique games on launch.

Skip it unless it's cheaper than a Switch 1 OLED, and you don't already have one.
>>
>>681529513
Maybe. If it's powerful enough then it will actually have third party games.
>>
>>681529430
I'm the opposite, my day job involves focusing on a screen while I create digital artwork so I don't want to come home and sit back down infront of a computer to game, chilling on steam deck and playing whatever the hell i want in a 2 terabyte library of games is a god send, would probably have quit gaymen by now if not for it
>>
>>681532301
Valve likes to undersell its products. The OLED version is essentially a Pro version since it actually has better hardware and optimization.
>>
>>681535256
you know they make memory cards right?
>>
>>681529430
switch 2? you mean the sequel to the console that is so emulatable that I can play the games they release for free and early AND at much higher fidelity and potential for mods? ok
>>
>>681535953
LCD rigtht now is a really good deal for it. I would get that one, but if you had the money get the OLED model since its better in every way.

>Games I want to play on it are incompatible

Tendies and enthusiast were the demographic for the deck but whe.

Your platform of choice doesn't matter at all
>>
>>681529430
switch 2 wont have a OLED model until a few years after it releases.
>>
>>681532928
Kinda figuring prime 4 is going to be the cross gen release. Im sure botw and totk will get enhanced releases or maybe even some with all the dlc added. They definitely love to resell us the same shit as often as possible but they usually add SOMETHING although its never worth it unless you just never played the game before.
>>
>>681529430
>Games I want to play on it are incompatible
What?
>>
>>681529430
It really depends on launch titles. There are 2 or 3 titles I'll buy the switch 2 on launch for but everything else I'll be waiting for an OLED model
>>
>>681531273
That would be stupid when even Microsoft and Sony are doing it and Nintendo always had some kind of backward compatibility
>>
>>681529430
How is the switch 2 supposed to be better than any PC or the Deck? The only thing it has to its name is its games which nintendo keeps for itself and thats it. Why would i purposefully jew myself out of options and how do people buying consoles not feel like they are fucking retards? If the switch were open like a PC or an Android then yes it could make for a nice portable computer but sadly its not. It feels incredibly cheap and is uncomfortable compared to the deck, and yes i used both.

No they are not. Playing illegal pirated imitations on Switch games is not an actual consumer product you dumb fucking retarded baby.

Like every 4chan troon, you think your poorfag 3rd world degenerate lifestyle is reflective of reality. It's not.

Hence the Switch has sold 140 million and it hasn't even had a price drop.

While the Steaming Shit Kek has sold worse than the Nokia N-Gage.

Since you sound like you have some reason in your head can you explain to me how people buy consoles just to play the exclusives? For me a console,computer or just a smartphone are *my* hardware and i expect do to whatever i want to do with it. But exclusives dont allow you that freedom and restrict what you can do with them which begs the question why do people buy products which actively resist the user? I can buy any pc or laptop from any brand and they all allow me to do the same things across them.

For the Switch it wasn't even a specific game for me, it was my friend convincing me to buy Tr4.5h Ultimate. I figured since it was smash it'd be a fun game to play with friends but it feels like hot laggy ass. Exclusives are usually never worth buying a whole console, as pc users buying snoy ports are finding out.

They didn’t pay Nvidia’s bribe, and can add an in-house approved upscaler later.
The least embarrassing outcome.

>>681529513
If it’s backwards compatible and it runs games better then it doesn’t need too many good exclusives. I can play games that run right

>>681534718
>award winning exclusive games
Deck has these in the form of games that the Shitch can't even run. BG3 and ER for example.
>portable local co-op
Literally nobody uses this except for embarrassing manchildren. You think playing a handheld in public is bad? Try playing Mario Kart on the shitty little joycons with your fat friend. People will post you to tiktok kek.
>seamless instant transition to the big screen
Deck has this if you buy a Dock. Thing is, switch is a terrible TV console and games always look and run better on its smaller portable screen. The TV mode is an afterthought as it is with the Deck.
>So if they make the steam deck smaller
They can't do this unless they reduce the screen size and reduce the trackpads, both of which would compromise the experience.
>and really emphasize that "NO PAID ONLINE" aspect then it'll sell
It already sells well for a niche product that appeals to people who specifically want a stronger handheld device instead of a laptop which is only sold through Steam in a handful of countries. Valve doesn't care about competing with Nintendo though and anybody with half a brain knows this.

I guess it's a big favor to ask. Look, retard, Switch games are still SWITCH games. They're not suddenly PC games just because you can emulate them. That's not how this shit works. That's like pretending Dreamcast games are PSP games because you can load them on your PSP with hacking. That's not how that works and you know it, you disingenuous fuck. Be a pirate if you want, but there are people who still buy Nintendo shit. You can be mad about it if you want, but clearly it has no meaningful affect on their sales.

This will be the first time we can have plug and play pc gaming. The one thing consoles have over pc is you connect it to a TV and push the disk and your immediately playing it in silky smooth 30fps. With pc even at the best of times there's 30 minutes of fiddling with settings and bug fixes from forums and trying to get it to run well on your specific hardware. Console gaming, while shitter , is essentially entirely hassle free. Gaben is gonna bridge that gap.

They were a compromise for PC gamers that wanted something away from their desk. Portables still suffered from DRM console faggotry that demanded jailbreaking in order to fully utilise. The Steam Deck has none of that shit, which is based as fuck.

I don't like playing old/indie games on my desktop because I sit for 12+ hours a day and there are too many distractions on PC. I exclusively play my deck in bed, on a couch or recliner. I also prefer its portability over a gaming laptop and I like the standby feature which doesn't exist on desktops. Sure, you can alt tab on a PC, but it often results in crashes and the games are still being rendered in the background which means heat, fan noise and power usage.

And there isn't a single pc gamer whose Switch purchase allowed them to play more video games. Every argument to buy a Switch back in 2017-2020 went like this
>Only has stale rehashes and ports

Now you can do that but with a much better device. Nincels fell back on "muh exclusives" like Snoys did at the end of 8th gen but your exclusives look like this.

>>681538894
>It depends on what they actually get though, while rumours suggest an absolute power house that's more powerful than a Series S
Is there some new information out there I didn't know about? The rumors are that it's using the T239, which is roughly on par with PS4. The big question is if Nintendo will cheap out on RAM like they did on Switch 1 by giving it a slow 6 or 8GB instead of a faster 12 or 16GB configuration. Also a question is how hard Nintendo downclocks the thing, because Nintendo will downclock every chip they can get their hands on.

It's pretty good for a handheld where you're trying to squeeze out every frame. The problem is that DLSS won't save the Switch 2 from having yesteryear's games from running at 30-50 fps (assuming >>681550150
is true) unless you play them at settings that'll make it look obsolete on arrival. Power users hate on the Deck because most recent games need to be ran at 40fps and vitaniggers hate on it because it isn't small enough. The most prominent rumor is that it's releasing with an 8 inch screen so it sounds like they're basically just releasing a Nintendo Deck which nobody wants.
