Oh yeah, that happened...
Then it flopped
>>732223063Flop or not, it's a PC and you can never take mine away
i use my deck every day i love it so much bros
ick on eck though
how do you even see a difference between switch, deck, xbox ally and all the other lookalikes?
Is it worth it? Mainly for comfy DS and 3DS emulation.I have New 3DS, but it's just too small.I have Steam Deck and it is too big to travel with.
>>732223318i'm gonna steal it tomorrow and smash it up
>>732224783>switchHas games>deck, xbox ally, and all the other lookalikesNo games

>>732226416>ouuuuuuyaaaaahhhh
>>732222927Good systemIt's what mattersApparently sold well enough to make Valve continue to make their Steam OS and work on Proton, and launch new products using that same OSLinux gaming is doing better than ever, and outside of the like 20 games with kernel level anti-cheats that can't run on it because the devs behind them don't want that to happen, Linux is the best way to play on PC nowSo I don't think it succeeded at what it needed to do
>>732225794Steam deck isn't a console and isn't chained to exclusives. Games are developed with the Deck as a primary target--everyone who bought a deck knew this beforehand? How is calling a pc a pc an insult?
>>732226729Excuse me, SALESfagging aka not video games.

>>732227552>Then why would I buy oneHandheld that plays your pc gamesIt's a pc, you have a handheld with games that you can mod, you can install stuff out of Steam, you're not tied to one store>B-but the exclusivesLiterally everything is playable on it, except the like 10 games exclusive to the Switch 2 that we can't emulate (yet), you're "sacrificing" 10 games for the rest of everything that was released ever, either on a huge discount or freeSounds more than worth it to me
>>732226525/v/ is so buck broken by sales number and steam charts threads.
>>732226930Cope
>>732227770>you're "sacrificing" 10 games for the rest of everything that was released ever,No I'm not. I have a PC, you dumbfuck PC vegan.
>>732222927I use it every day. I likely play games you have no interest in.
>>732227552>>Steam deck isn't a console and isn't chained to exclusives.games retardbro
>>732227381>with no 3dI literally own 3DS, 3D is my absolute least used feature
>>732228382Extremely likely
>>732227552>I CANT HECKIN PLAY SOMETHING INLESS IT HAS THE NINTENDO LOGO ON ITWhat causes Nintendo adults to be so cultish
>>732228324Okay so if you’re not interested in PC portables like the Steam Deck and you already have a PC with Steam then what’s your point. It’s literally not for you
What kind of autism is this that makes you unable to comprehend why would people want a handheld that can play almost anything?
>>732228790It's the almost part that gets me
>>732228872So your only alternative choice is either to deny it's appeal or a platform with less games?
>>732229025No
>>732227770Emulation is theft
>>732228747Calm down PC vegan. I have an Xbox, an PS4, a PC, and both Switches.
>>732228769>It’s literally not for youOr anyone else seeing as it flopped at 5 million units
>>732228790I'm just wondering why you only started caring and worshipping UMPCs when Steam made one. Are you a brand cultist? UMPCs have existed for anlong time.
>>732229353Give me one reason why I should care that you think it “flopped” if it’s a good well supported product and Volvo plans to make a second one
>>732229258nobody with a PC would own a Xbox
>>732229575Sorry to burst your bubble, PC vegan.
>>732229434I never claimed any of these, stop putting words in my mouth.When I was a kid and saw modded Quake to run Half-Life on PDA, ever since it was my dream to see a portable device that can play games like that.What Valve did was actually make it attractive, from both price point, ergonomics, user experience and established a standard which developers target.
>>732229524No thanks. I don't participate in sealioning. I let you know that steamdeck only sold 5 million and I consider that a flop and that's all I wanted to accomplish.
>>732229353It flopping didn't suddenly make my deck stop working. Your brain is busted from being on this board too much
>>732229684Then why did it flop?
>>732229353Listen buddy, I assume we're all adults here, and most of us have jobs.Video games are not an expensive hobby, if you're on /v/, you should be a hobbyist yourself.We don't have to be stuck to one platform format.
>>732229736Okay
>>732229789>it's not worth anything until hundreds of millions eat itYou're the reason why jews look down on goys
>>732225645>5fps 340pc..cool
>>732229353>Or anyone else seeing as it flopped at 5 million units>as it flopped at 5 million unitsIt probably has wildly exceeded the most optimistic plans that the creators of the deck ever had.
i dont get the hate. its an awesome piece of tech. can play all sorts of shit. when i got mine, i did a full playthrough of little big adventure 2, controls felt great in that game. absolutely so impressive how you can just install a random old game and it'll play perfectly.also tried installing sudeki from my gog account. also ran and played great.not to mention all the emulating you can make on it.
>>732229756I'm sorry the brand you worship is being made fun of. >>732229810Then why are you stuck using only PCs?
>>732229945It's pushback because steam deck owners are the loudest cultists in gaming.
>>732223318>>732223063>>732222927It's not a flop. It's not meant to compete with Switch. It's a fucking portable Steam Machine and that's why it's kino. If it was a flop they wouldn't have made the OLED and they wouldnt have showcased it with the upcoming hardware.>t. Nintenchad with a Switch 2 and DeckAlso I'm playing Lego Batman on my 'eck.
>>732226754>Switch library begins and ends with Odyssey. The rest of it is pure ass or a port.And the Deck plays those same "ports" even worse.
>>732229524Sure, buddy. Just like Volvo plans to make half-life 3 or a full release of artifact
>>732225381Get a N3DSXL
>>732229927Most of Android hardware is using ARM, same as Switch. Switch emulation on Android is more of a compatibility layer, similar to running Windows games on Linux or running PS4 on shadPS4, and you can see just how well Bloodborne runs on PS4, despite being a bit over 1 year of attention.Android phones/consoles don't have to emulate the hardware. That's why they run so well.And Switch hardware was literally made for like 2015 Android console.
>>732230217C-stick is extremely shitty to use and I don't like L2/R2 being place horizontally next to L1/R2 or whatever Nintendo calls them.

>>732230339True true. The c nub is probably the worst thing they added. I just don't get why they didn't add a second circle pad. But there are only like 2 games that will ever use it, MGS3 and Mon Hun.

>>732229096So?I'm still emulating and playing games for freeEmulating games is a "crime" on the same level as picking up a cherry and eating it in a storeNo one gives a shit, emulate if you don't want to, if you have the "noooo, I want to spend a shit ton of money to play whatever niche game I'm interested in because Ebay sellers are being mean to me" stick stuck in your ass, welp, sucks to be you, but emulation is sickTheft or not, it's free shit that companies are often not selling for more than a decade, so, who gives a shit>>732229736>Niche products that aren't sold in stores and are only purchasable on Steam aren't selling as much as products that are in every video game store on earthIdk, 5 million sounds alright considering that, and I'm sure Valve is happy with those sales too
If the Deck 1 sold so well, why isnt there a Deck 2? Checkmate.
>>732230736>Emulating games is a "crime" on the same level as picking up a cherry and eating it in a storeMore like>walking around the countryside>see some cherries>pick one and eat it>eventually find who seems to be the owner>hey, I ate a cherry, how much do I owe you?>I refuse to get any money, if you want to buy my cherries you'll have to go to a store on the other side of the country and buy it there, also they're all 30 years old>uh well ok then, good bye
>>732225381No, Moorechip (Ayn's and Retroid's parent company) never made a hinge that lasted. In fact, the honeymoon period is just ending now and we're undergoing the new hinge crack complaint every 5 days on sbcgaming arc.>I have New 3DS, but it's just too small.Then you already know the layout is impossible to play with and the 3DS was a mistake.>>732227381>machine with no 3dThat's a positive.>>732229434>UMPCs have existed for anlong time.And they were slow, shit, grossly overpriced, featureless, unfit for games by virtue of Windows and aggressively unergonomic until the Deck. Half the market still is, but still.
>>732223063It didn't, it's part of the PC market and scared Microsoft so hard they canceled everything console related from the original Xbox home console for 2028 along with the original console-only Xbox handheld just to move back to PC completely and permanently. Now, Microsoft is making both their own Steam Machine late next year, and their own Steam Deck the year after while also following the same OEM strategy as Valve to take on both the Steam Machine and the Steam Deck 2. Stop thinking of this in the console market standpoint, it's within the PC market. For consoles it will be the Switch 2 vs the PS handheld and maybe the PS6 home console.
>>732231052>Then you already know the layout is impossible to play with and the 3DS was a mistake.My main complaint is the screen size, actually.Otherwise, what would be the alternative, as PSP/Vita like Android console?
>>732231072Nice fanfiction troonix tranny
>>732231072>my source is my dog
>>732230048>It's pushback because steam deck owners are the loudest cultists in gaming.Literally the second or third sales thread to hit bump limit since Sunday
>>732231208There is no fanfiction here, tranny. Microsoft literally killed the Xbox console to move back to PC because of Steam, SteamOS, and Steam hardware. They're killing everything Xbox, taking them out of stores, raising the prices to unaffordability, telling devs to stop making Xbox versions of their games and instead make Windows versions, killing the Xbox One/Series ERA dev environment, killing GDK GameCore and instead just using the regular GDK, shifting all things Xbox to Win32 dev environment for next gen Xbox, switching to OEMs. You don't do that if you're still making a console. They're just calling next gen a "console" to fool idiots like you who still buy Xboxes to spend $1000+ on it like a fool.
>>732231293Leaks about the next Xbox hardware plans are everywhere to the point I believe it's a controlled leak. Microsoft even stated they're doing this themselves a couple of times. Xbox's death as a console is intentional.
>>732222927>thisI'm not going to buy this no matter how many times you post it. And I bought a Switch and Switch 2 at launch so I'm not averse to buying stupid shit.
>>732231187You'd be good with any of these: RP6, RPG2 (prefer the former unless something about it is a problem for you, more mature in drivers, linux compatible, bigger battery, 120hz, but those things come at a price in the finer details like PWM dimming), Odin 2 Portal. Basically anything without a hinge running SD8Gen2 or SD865 is good, the only reason I don't recommend RP5 is because the RP6 and the G2 obsoleted it at virtually the same price. Honorable mention to the Odin 3, but that's a chip that's a little troublesome right now (doesn't run N64 emulation for example).Also, since you're coming from Deck and complaining about size, temper your expectations about x86 emulation, the stuff you'll hear is mostly bullshit. You only ever come across footage of very early game on those for good reason.t.found two ARM exclusive issues with dependencies while trying 3 games on RP5, SADX mods (that's a game from 2003) run explicably shit for reasons I've yet to learn
I'm fucking tired of decktranniesYou people are the most obnoxious fanboys in the internet
>>732231592I believe Kepler over your uncited source. Microsoft saw the deck's 4 mil and went "no thanks" when amd asked for 10 mil for the handheld. But yeah, they are shaking in their boots over the deck and a 8vram machine that is going to cost $750+
>>732228530>>732231774I want a good gimmicky chinkshit device that can handle NAOMI and everything below with interesting unique features beyond "it's shaped like a game boy". I'm talking easy modularity and part customization with a decent responsive screen. I have a deck oled already and just want to try out a new device. What are some of your favorites?
>>732231852Uh-huh
Why would I buy this when my phone can emulate perfectly and cost less than the deck?
>>732232158Because the deck is not for you. It's an enthusiast device for core gamers.
>>732232314If you're a real gamer you would just buy a laptop to use for gaming if you travel a lot.
>>732232158That's what I do and it's actually portable
>>732231895He only got a part of the story. Original Xbox handheld was a console-only handheld with a different silicon from the home unit. This changed after Microsoft killed their traditional console and moved back to PC. The new first party Xbox handheld will use a low-power variant of the same high-power silicon in the next Xbox. Its purpose is the same as it's stronger sibling, to serve as a reference for third party OEM hardware. Kepler, for some reason, keeps calling the next Xbox a console and this was already contested by both Microsoft themselves and actual Microsoft insiders. The next Xbox is not a console if you're shoving the Xbox UI in a hypervisor virtual machine while having full Windows to the point if you install a third-party launcher and get games on it, it shows up in your library in the Xbox Mode. That's a fucking PC with a console UI. Replacing all of your console dev kits/environments for the PC one means it's a fucking PC. Kepler and that other insider on NeoGAF can keep trying to call this shit a console, but facts are facts. If it looks like a PC, acts like a PC, can be used like a PC, then it's a fucking PC, BC or not.
>>732232358I only play video games in public if I'm on a plane. Sounds like the deck is not for you.
>>732232478>still no sourceJez is an idiot. Please dont let your source be Jez.
>>732232509So just use a phone for that?
>>732232140And look, they made another shitposting thread>same images>same filenames>same low quality insults>>732230379
>>732232564I can't play native PC games from my Steam and GOG library on a phone. Not for you.
Just get a gaming laptop. It's more useful.
>>732232559Jez is the only tard not fired from gaming Windows Central, apparently he's in the know. Plus, after the whole first party Xbox handheld was canceled, you had Xbox Wire, Sarah Bond, and Lisa Su saying otherwise. It makes sense for them to can the first Xbox handheld if you're making a PC and not a console. Why bother if you're killing everything Xbox console?
>>732232069Hmm, not much room for that. Basically all the screens you want are OLED and on devices with glass fronts, and chinks are really adverse to gimmicks on triple digit prices unless they're short lived unicorns like that transformer dual screen one that costs a liver. Assuming NAOMI punches a little above Dreamcast as they share hardware, anything OLED 120hz+ should be plenty (but kinda weak for per-pixel alpha sorting if that's needed in your case, to the point it only runs at all under turnip drivers at x1 from what I gathered for my RP5), plus it helps with input latency. Would enable Saturn too, which is basically as difficult as PS2 and GC.
>>732232693And for the record, you would be able to do that on OLED 60hz ones just fine, but I suggest 120hz to bruteforce android input latency since it seems their adoption is spreading on lower prices.
>>732232692Jez is constantly wrong. He said the big statute for the game awards was diablo related.
I want one but im conflicting about just waiting for a deck 2
>>7322253812ds xl are cheaper and better for 3ds gamesthey're like 250$ where I'm fromideal condition, box, some games sometimes, evenbut nobody wants them because it's not as overhyped as n3dsxl and thor
If it could easily do native game pass while in steamos without streaming it would be the best thing I ever purchased outside of my PC.
>>732232786He's a tard but his articles are spot on, stop reading his Twitter responses, he's always wrong there. I hate Microsoft but I do keep up with what they do gaming wise, insider or not. Microsoft has a problem with their own console competing with Windows and questioning why are they even separate still. They're correcting that problem now.
>>732232623Its why I know these threads are started by sour grapes consolefags because a cheap umpc that can play over 10000 games out the box is a gamers wet dream, yet it gets shitposted by the Applefags of gaming? Hate is absolutely forced
>>732232693Yeah, I figured I'd be asking for a lot for NAOMI. But CPS3 and lower still gives me a fuckton of options. I like heavier devices that feel solid in the hands: which brands would you say have the most consistent build quality?
>>732232358he's too poor to afford a good laptopthats literally the steam deck market, poorfags who cant afford a decent portable machineits fine for its purpose but lets not pretend thats not what its for
>>732232821>deck 2By then you may as well wait for Deck 2 oled. And then when that arrives, you may as well wait for Deck 3, and then when...
>>732232623Cry more
>>732233353Sour grape third worlder schizobabble
>>732233353steam decks are more expensive than full desktop in 3rd world countriest. third worlder
>>732233560>>732233686i said poorfags not third worlders
>>732233773It's a $700 device. More expensive than a Switch 2 or PS5.
>>732222927Valve is the reason I can actually use Linux. Thanks Valve for saving me from Microsoft's shit OS. Without Linux I'd be forced into using only Android.
>>732233305Well, again, I'm only speaking for my experience with Dreamcast here, but it's actually relatively lightweight, it's just when you find a game that renders too wrong and that extreme accuracy setting is needed that shit hits the fan.I don't like recommending brands. For example, I'm basically Retroid's bitch due to their godly d-pad and their android builds being excellent, but nearly every other release of theirs is fucked in some way. Each chinkheld should be judged individually and unfortunately reviewers are useless idiot shills, you just tune in and observe the footage yourself, spot things they didn't bring up/omitted, and then enter the septic tank of reddit and discord to dig for real people's opinions and their grievances with the devices. As for build quality, Retroid (and I'm guessing Ayn since they're under the same parent company, never had one though) tend to be on the higher end of chinkheld build quality, though still very far from Nintendo and Sony stuff.
Biggest scam in gaming history
>>732234040and still cheaper than a proper laptop

>>732235943Sold less than the wii u, ps vita, and sega saturn, all of which are considered sales flops but somehow this one is NOT a flop
>>732235772This started as a deck hate thread that backfired and got you btfo so hard that you literally forgot what OP said.
>>732236169No the OP is an "engagement bait" opening to make more people post here, try again Ranjit
>>732236125It's not competing with consolesIt's a niche product that you can't even buy in stores, unlike every modern console that you can find in every store on earth that sells anything video game relatedIt's a PC, compare it to PCs, or at least other handheld PCsDo you compare oven sales to microwaves to decide if an oven is successful or not?
>>732236125Literally not a single person who bought a deck cares about sales. Its a niche device whose openness by nature makes it immune to stuff that consoles are slaves to such as losing access to games because the device didn't sell well. You're seething
>>732235863Wow awesome, the PC vegan discord got everyone to vote Nintendo
>>732222927I hope they release a Deck 2. It's about time.Too bad RAM and SSD prices are high.
>>732236347The fact that you instantly attach to Nintendo rather than Sony despite them being neck and neck speaks volumes about you and the individuals crying about umpcs existing in the gaming market.
>>732235943Fake Tendies keep trying to pick a fight with a PC instead of worrying about the actual console handheld coming in early 2028, the PS handheld. Deck/Deck 2 isn't competing against the Switch/Switch 2, it's competing with the first-party Xbox handheld coming in 2028 which won't be sold in retail stores like past Xboxes and will only be sold on Microsoft's website similar to how Valve sells their gaming hardware, same with the next gen Xbox as well.
>>732222927current iteration is too weak but perhaps a Deck 2 in the coming years would be perfect
>>732236331It's an absurd double standard
>>732235309and poorfags have issues saving or managing their moneythey wont survive the time it takes to go for a proper machine or they will do something retarded that will fuck with their savings
>>732236607To care more about access to games across several decades than sales? Yeah, I'm sure that's absolutely absurd to you.

>Enter deck thread>non-stop seething about Nintendo
>>732237390Weird, the thread was pretty blatantly anti-Deck and the first time Nintendo is brought up in any good or negative way is this faggot fanboying out for them >>732225606
>>732237353>LGBTQNot that guy, but why do faggots and faggots in dresses matter so much when the freaks barely make up a percentage in the population? I honestly don't care how many play on Switch, Steam hardware, PlayStation, or Xbox hardware. Why can't no one simply shut the fuck up about faggots and trannies. I'm seriously tired of talking about them and politics when it comes to video games. It's why my hate keeps growing for the loud ones. These industry people seriously need to have their faces caved in with their constant focus on the vocal minority.
>>732236289If anything it's more important that they sell units because i could buy a steam deck and play no steam games on it but if i bought a saturn i could only play saturn games
>>732237534you've been over this already >>732236274
>>732237698Yeah, the deck owners say that the deck has no games because they need to bait engagement from deckfags.
