JRPGs are my favorite genre and the Steam Deck has become the King of JRPG machine for me. Currently playing on my Deck. Tales of Arise (Steam) Final Fantasy XIII (Steam) Dragon Quest IX (DS emulation) Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360 emulation) Steam Deck = Ultimate JRPG Machine
That is awesome! I loved those three, and I’m pretty sure Proton was not able to handle them on Linux for a long time, so this is a big step in the right direction.
@@IntentionalBrandon so interesting! both just worked for me on install, I think I flicked to experimental - was last year when I played them on the deck.
Dude. The OLED battery would blow you away. I had the LCD and upgraded and let me tell you, the battery and weight differences between the two are noticeable
Great video! I'm glad you looked at how the Steam Deck works for you and your gaming habits and purchases. I'm curious if there are other aspects that are of concern or not, such as sound output, connecting to another monitor (or if you don't bother), storage capacity, etc. It's great to hear your voice again! Looking forward to more :) P.S. it's a shame that LiveLaughLadle wasn't considered as a channel name
Im flipping Rog Ally, switch and Steamdeck for small profits. And in my honest opinion, the Steamdeck Oled isnt something u need to upgrade for. Every time I open my Switch Oled, Im so amazed for how great the screen looks compared to the normal LCD one, but with the Steamdeck, I dont have that. And I love Oled, the moment I bought an Oled Tv, I knew I could never ever go back to LCD. But putting the LCD and Oled steamdeck side by side, Im just not that Impressed, sure u got way better Battery life and a little bigger screen, but is that really worth it to pay almost double 🤷♂️ right now im maining the Oled model, but I do plan on selling it and keeping the LCD instead.
I so rarely hear from other people who are satisfied with the LCD model! Happy to hear I'm not alone. I both look forward to and dread the day I get an OLED TV because I doubt I'll be satisfied with any other screen type after that haha
I pre-ordered my 512 as soon as I could and I've done most of my gaming on my SD since I got it. I'm thinking about getting an OLED one for the better battery life because that has been a problem for me a few times. Don't worry too much about the playability status, obviously Proton isn't 100% perfect and there are definitely unplayable games but beyond that just keep the specs in mind and try some less demanding "Unsupported" games, Rogue Heroes says that it's unsupported but the game plays perfectly, I've put hours into it and have never had an issue, I know there have been a couple of other games with similar results. On the other hand I tried playing Lego SW The Skywalker Saga and the performance was not good despite it being listed as "Verified", it couldn't even maintain a steady framerate.
Great points! The playability status is a great starting place, but if I'm really interested in buying a game that's unsupported or unknown, I immediately check ProtonDB to see if there's an easy way to get it working (if anything is even required). Such a great site.

Currently playing on my Deck.
Tales of Arise (Steam)
Final Fantasy XIII (Steam)
Dragon Quest IX (DS emulation)
Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360 emulation)
Steam Deck = Ultimate JRPG Machine
I haven’t tried emulation on mine, but that is a mighty fine list! I’ve wanted to try Lost Odyssey for years, but I’ve never had the hardware for it.
The trails in the sky games aren’t verified or playable but they run perfectly! Been playing trails sc without a single issue

@@trashcangoblin420 Good old Experimental! When in doubt, experiment!

The temptation is real! Haha
It sounds very nice. No doubt about it.
Great to have you back in the content creation space
It’s great to be back!
@@IntentionalBrandon I've been playing a lot of my RPGs on PS5, but you might've inspired me to pick back up my Steam Deck after this one.

Excuse me while I take notes!
And that is a genius channel name haha
Loved this video. Please make another one about the Steam Deck :)
Thank you for the kind words! If my recent gaming habits are any indication, I think I'm going to have to do just that!
ASMR voice, ill buy a steam deck on my sleep 😴
Ahahaha sweet dreams, I guess!
@@IntentionalBrandon quite nice listening actually. I really want one maybe down the road a year or two

return of the king!
best news all week
Dragon quest 11 is amazing on deck.
I played it last year on my PS5 (the 3D graphics version), and I bet the 2D version would be incredible on Deck!
don't forget about emulation, together with it the Steam Deck is the beste for the JRPG genre
I don’t have personal experience with emulation on it, but it sounds absolutely incredible!
@@IntentionalBrandon you should look up EmuDeck and give it a try

YAAAAS! 🤗
You should try fear and hunger and fear and hunger 2 termina
I’ve seen a little of the first one, and it looks pretty wild!
@@IntentionalBrandonsecond one pushes the narrative a lot more and has like 11 plus playable characters
Verified, not verified dilemma with older jrpgs?
Emudeck!
Everyone seems to love it!
Disgae d2 is also not on steam i wish theyd put both of them on
Good point! That’s actually one of my favorites. I loved the monster riding mechanic.
