The Deck is more expensive and weaker. If you don't need the handheld functionality, it's pointless.
>>739831529All those games and I'm sure they're just going to close steam and watch streamers all day
>>739831702Not defending the deck because it's way overpriced for what it is but that take is subjective.I used to think the same way until I tried it. Now I game purely handheld. It's far more comfortable and immersive than sitting at a desk. Desks are for work. TV too far away. Handheld + earbuds = complete immersion and comfort.
>>739831529>What more can you get out ouf a Steambox than you can't with just a SteamdeckValve can market it in a different way in Asian markets, which is important when certain mainstream demographics in that region simply do not consider buying hardware devices that aren't singular pre-packaged products with the direct brand backing of the related software. See the performance of Apple products being disproportionate relative to the rest of the world.
>>739831992Performance is not subjective, I have no facts but I assume the cube will be more powerful AND cheaper
>>739831992Yeah as a PC gamer i got used to having the screen inches from me. TV doesn't cut it whereas handheld perfectly captures that feeling
>>739831529>you had to be there
Isn't it just a prebuilt pc?
>>739831529even better, i just use a gaming laptop
>>739832097>>739831702>weakerNigger, you can get a cheap PS4 ANYWHERE and PS5 and XBoX has no games worth emulating on it
>>739832354but the PS4 has no games
>>739832462Did you not see OPs pic?>It's Bloodborne, right fucking there
>>739831529>has a Steam Deck>emulates Half Life on the PS2
>>739831529what are those skeletons up on the top shelf? perfume bottles?

>>739831702>>739832097>I have no facts but I assume the cube will be more powerful AND cheaperWhat makes you think it'll be cheaper? Genuine question the more powerful nature of the Gabecube makes me think that it'll be more expensive what with the ram-apocolypse, but maybe it's a more complex supply chain issue
>>739831529Not a single good game there
>>739833554There is just no way they sell it for $1000
>>739831529>lookatmyshit.pngyour shit is pretty cool anon, you got a comfy looking setup there for playing games, you got a bluetooth keyboard and / or mouse for when you gotta do keyboard stuff or does the steam controller handle that well enough?
>>739833690It does seem like such a bad idea that I'd be surprised that they don't just eat the loss in sales. Then again, the deck going up in price would make you think that they're preparing buyers to stomach a higher priced console (although I suppose there is an alternative where they sell the Gabecube closer to the previous Deck prices to come off as a better deal than it might otherwise)
>>739833554>>739832097>Somehow 16 times the Steamdeck Performance will translate into cheaper than 1000$ Steamdeck Are you actually retarded?Do you have actual brain Damage?
steamdecks are for children
>>739834110>uh akchually according to my calculations it's going to cost 6k

>>739833936Thanks Anon Everything's already been set up since I got the Deck last year.Intial Setup was done with USB M&k on the dock.Then over time most controls on the Desktop Linux mode adapted into the Deck controls.What's important is that you have a strong controller profile set and thought out for gaming and operating the Linux bits to not confuse your input sources seperately.Benefits of using the Steamdeck Controls also includes easily mappable Hotkey buttons and haptics with the Trackpad and back paddles.Even Emulating Wii with or without USB Sensorbar (you might already have) are easily doable with the Trackpads on Deck or ControllerHonestly the Setup only really feels complete now that the Controller is part of the equation in the Valve gaming experience>using bluetooth just fucking sucks on the thing
>>739834820>What's important is that you have a strong controller profile set and thought out for gaming and operating the Linux bits to not confuse your input sources seperately.huh i never considered that but that does make alot of sense, always kinda just stuck with kb&m, gonna have to give that a shot
>>739835582Another Setup I'm proud of is being able to pull of Gamecube + GBA Link Cable in Wind Waker, honestly feels like a more complete experience that way
