not yet
Of course, they are free (if you played CS:GO when the item update first came out and stockpiled shit to sell when CS2 was announced)
I want to but it ain't available in my country.and retailers sells it at 799$.and i really want one to play MonsterHunterWorld and Hollow Knight on my steam.
>>729204056Not a handheld. You laptop schizos need to get a grip. You're doing the equivalent of telling people who ask for smartphone recommendations to get a tablet instead.
>>729204223>it NEEDS to be a handheldNo it doesn't.
>>729203827I wish I bought the 64GB one...now I can't find it anywhere.
>>729203827I don't really play games away from my pc. The only time I leave the house is to get food and go to work.
>already own a PCYou don't need a Deck. It's a fun luxury toy if you can afford it.>don't already own a PCSave up and build one already, dummy! Don't sink 1/2-1/4 of your budget on a peripheral.
>>729203827Of course! I'm emulating PS2 shit right nowAnd thanks to Lossless Scaling MMMMHHHHH
>>729203827What exactly is this 1% of games that I DO care about but CAN'T run?
>>729203935GO TO THE BATHROOM
>>729205048nahhh.... what da hell
>>729204343It does for this particular use case.
>>729203827>can run any game made in the last 5 years
>>729203827Yeah. Bought it in 2024 and don't regret it. I use it every day. Skipped the Switch 2.
>>729205642You know the funny thing is, you meant can't.But the only decent games that came out in the past 5 years run great on it.
>>729205695yep, it runs plenty of games made from 2020-2025 very well
>>729205574That's fine. Just make sure to specify that next time.
>>729203827>is better than the steam deck in every way in your pathAnd yeah, it runs SteamOS. Officially.
>>729208230>no touchpadsNgmi
>>729208230>Dpad sucks despite being a genesis knock off>No trackpads>Just Asus as a company, generallyNoap
>>729208408You’ve clearly never used one. The dpad is god tier
>>729208408>asusAnon…That’s a legion go S
Close enough.
>>729203827Genuinely might buy one soon now that they are cheaper than two sticks of RAM.
>>729203827Why would I need one?
*blocks your path*
>>729204056I like my angry little jet engine but calling it portable is a stretch
>>729203827I waiting on Deck 2.0
>>729208637Eh, looks close enough, and basically everything I said still applies.
>>729209450No, the only thing you said that was even half correct is no touchpads (it has one)Everything else you assumed about this device you never used was wrong.
>>729203827>you DO own one, right?No but the existence of the deck has made it really easy for a tech dummy like me to see if games work on linux or not.
>>729204056>can run 99% of the games you care about pretty wellFor $319?
>>729204223it can be handheld if you don't have weak little fingers
>>729203827>can run 99% of the games you care about pretty wellno actually believes this right? 30fps or low everything 720p maybe
>>729210165Pizza Tower, Deltarune, Astlibra, and Silksong all run fine.
>>729210310The actually good metroidvania that came out this year, Shadow Labyrinth runs great, too.
>macaco falseflag thread-59943 karma to Sony, 'fraid so
>>729210358Need to check this out.
>>72921016530 fps on a handheld is a smoother experience than 30 fps on a desktophope this helped
>>729203827I just got one recently. I also bought an aftermarket deck so I hook it up to the TV. Do you guys recommend any other accessories?
>>729210358>56% positive reviewsok bamco marketing intern
>>729210675It's tolerable without it, but one of those k400 things from Logitech was pretty nice for the one I use at my TV and sometimes stream shit to from my home server.
>>729210720Oh dude I'd fucking nut if Namco was paying me to market shit, they wouldn't even need to give me money, just finally make it not a pain in the ass for me to get a pacman shirt.But no, like most of the issues in the reviews section I'd honestly dismiss as skill issue.Which is sort of amusingly funny, since the remake for Pacman World 2 came out and people were praising the game for drop kicking you every time a boss happened.
>>729208854That trackpad looks kinda shitty but at least it has one.
Anybody here have the Legion Go 2? What's the sound like. I have a Legion Go, which has an amazing screen but a poor battery life, and an Xbox Ally X, which has amazing sound, decent battery life, and great ergonomics, but a mediocre screen. The Go 2 is probably handheld for me outside of the battery life.
>>729203827I am so fucking tired of sd cards they corrupt randomly for no reason. For the love of God I hope sd2 uses sd express>after years of waiting for 2230 nvme ssds to drop price, price spikes back up because of AIFml
>>729204223Why are bing bing wahooers like this
>>729203827I don't need portability.
>>729204056>aich peeenjoy your bloat
>>729203827No it can't. It runs armored core 6 like complete shit.
>>729203827>OP blatantly lying in the greentextlolAnd the Deck was absolutely loud as fuck when running games, which funnily enough is a point rarely brought up. At least the ROG Ally was fairly silent by comparison but we're not talking about the same price range.
>>729209607>319Does he know?
>>729203827>has no exclusivesNo reason to get one for non-fatman gaslit corpo shill cultists
For all the deck's flaws, I'd still take it over the switch and switch 2 because of its far better library. Nintendo making a locked down POS just doesn't sit right with me.
>>729208408I got the deck and there's no way it's worse than this mushy ass glossy dpad. It's made me not want to play retro vidya on it.
>>729208230From a business standpoint why the fuck would valve add support for an Asus product when it's one of the only reasons people chose the deck? Is that their way of saying they've given up on the deck?
>>729215619That sounds more like a (You) problem if you fail to find plenty of games on the Switch
>>729203827Hell yeah, especially for my porn games.
Imagine owning a steam deck and not a Loki max. Normies are dumb.
>(((steam))) deckNo I do not
>>729215969The only good games are multiplats. Not really interested in garbage like Pokemon, or filler like Zelda/Kirby/Donkey Kong.
>>729203827But I'm not a homosexual so it simply doesn't appeal to me
>>729216643>Multiplats>GoodPick one.
>>729216797I can pick a thousand.
>>729209450You’re entirely wrong the Dpad on the legion go S is known to be far superior to the steam deck every reviewer on YouTube says the same thing. In fact overall ergonomics are generally considered better. It runs more games than a steam deck can (and the games the deck can run it runs them better). The LCD screen it has is so good people confuse it for OLED. The lack of giant track pads that take up space mean nothing. I honestly don’t even know why you would need something like that, you can dock it into a monitor with a mouse if you really need to use a mouse that bad.
>>729203827I've been playing a lot of modern games lately and the Deck struggles with them. I don't like having to fool around with settings and framegens just to play at an acceptable level. At this point I'd say just wait for the steam machine or get a real handheld like the rog ally x.
>>729215209 Based and shillpilled. All these decktards doing backflips to justify buying a handheld for games they already owned on their PC. No exclusives, no killer app, just portable heat and fan noise with a Linux wrapper. Unless you're desperate to play your unoptimized backlog on a screen smaller than your phone, there's no real reason to get one unless Gabe personally pays your rent.
>>729203827I do, yeah.Was waiting for a neat limited edition to come out but I gave in eventually.Then that ugly as shit white one came out, kek.
>>729203827Yes, but I just use it as a computer. ROG Ally is my gaming pc/handheld.
>>729203827yeah I'm considering getting one. emulating a select few games from various consoles. Using it as a wii u gampad and it seems like there was a way to sync files between eck and pc, which would be nice for emulated game saves.considering just getting a 512 oled, but how about someone convince me a owner of a 3ds xl and vita slim to just save my money.
>>729203827No, because I'm gonne be a proud gabecube owner in just a few more days
>>729209175>>729204223Calling the Steam Deck or Switch 2 portable is also a stretch.
>can run 99% of the games>has a much better library than the Switch 2you DO own one, right?
Will get steam box tho. Fuck all that bullshit building pc
>>729223769>tumor battery that it can't function without>weighs two pounds with it attachedlmol
>>729203827>>729215159I was going to get the discounted LCD Deck during the winter sale but then they apparently discontinued it and didn't put the other decks on a discount for the sale. Kinda worried someone might steal it from my porch if I order a deck as well. I might get an Anbernic RG35XX or something for portable use, since I mostly want to play old stuff on it, and build a proper PC or get a pre-built.
>>729203827The steam deck is the best goddamn video game system I've ever owned. Had no clue how much I would love this thing.
>>729203827You're leaving out the biggest flaw with the 'eck. If a game doesn't support 16:10 aspect ratio then you'll have these disgusting black borders that squishes the image. Valve does have a work around but it stretches the image. This alone ruins the steam deck for me.
>>729203827My PC is more powerful, cost me less, and I hardly ever leave my house so I don't need a handheld.
>>729223349Not really
>>729229320That's what I thought until I got a deck for the fuck of it and now I use my deck the vast majority of the time. Its convenience and comfort can't be beat.
>>729224716Surely you can just plug it in?
>>729204552Yeah, give him some good RAM suggestions
>>729207869You don't play games at all
>>729203827It's too fucking big. Handhelds suck now because they're no longer portable and have shit battery life.
>>729217030>I honestly don’t even know why you would need something like that, you can dock it into a monitor with a mouse if you really need to use a mouse that badThen just play on your pc if you're willing to do all of that just to play pc exclusives on a handheld. The only people who shit on the Deck's trackpads are people who never used them. That's why Valve is adding them to their new controllers is because they're meaningless and take up space, right? I feel like all these people who talk out of their ass have never even held a umpc, but want to make these dumb ass assumptions about devices they'll never interact with based on youtubers.
>>729204056>HP
>>729227316>disgusting black bordersshould've bought the OLED, they basically blend into the handheld since the pixels are off.
>>729230112I've used my brother's OLED 'eck and it's still gross. Valve is stupid for not going with 16:9 aspect ratio.
>>729204746anticheat encumbered multiplayer
>>729230112>deliberately burning borders into your OLED
>>729203827>>729204056I own both
I'll probably wait for a Deck 2 with newer chip, newer tech, and probably better battery life.
>>729227316Always put the game on windowed mode for proper scaling.
>>729203827>don't leave house often aside from obligations>don't want to bing bing wahoo in public >I'd rather take nap on bed instead of playing maybe if I ever see used one for dirt cheap, otherwise I don't have much use for it
>>729203827They don't ship it to my shithole ;(
>>729203827>play pc games on my desktop >use deck to emulate ps2 games
>>729203827why would i need this when i have a gamer pc and a switch 2? playing somewhere other than sitting down or at home is for niggers
>>729233718so why did you buy a switch 2?
>>729234020for playing nintendo exclusives on the tv and indies, while i watch porn on my pc
>>729234184Spending $500 to play 2 games is wild.
