Best $400 I've spent on a console by far. Including my PS4 and 5. Haven't touched my switch, PS5 or any other console since my deck came.
😳
It came so hard.
The zelda sequel lured me away for a little while and spider man 2 for a lesser extent, but I spend more time on my deck than anything else. Hey that reminds me, I should dust my consoles.
My friend showed me TotK playing better that it did on a switch… on his Steam deck lawl
That TotK runs at all on the Switch is nothing short of a miracle. That's Xbox 360 era GPU power, running a massive game at 30fps for the most part. Super stable as well, especially after a playthrough of the very crashy, other GOTY contender, BG3.
Really?
ToTK ram so poorly on my (launch) switch that I stopped after a few hours. Constant usually massive dips in frame rate put me off of it.
Returned my switch to a MarioKart/Smash machine for when my friends are over.
Sadly this is not applicable in my country. If you want to get a Steam Deck unfortunately you'll need to shell out more money compared to buying a PS5 or an Xbox Series X.
Exactly my issue as well. An ROG Ally is cheaper than the cheapest Deck. And both are more expensive that the PS5 and Xbox X
The Ally atleast has more performance than the Deck. Deck has it beat in software though.
