I adore the Steam Deck. I'm old enough to remember when hand held gaming meant having games that looked like the previous generation. Thankfully, with PC tech stagnating we're to a point where a game today can look amazing on a desktop and almost as good on a portable play device. It really is a great time to be a mobile gamer.
You mean two generations behind. It's the Switch that was only one generation behind in power, that's why it was impressive.
@@SogonD.ZunatsuOn the other hand, the screens were tiny, so it didn't matter that much. I bought a 2DS XL after the release of the Switch, because it was pocketable. Not even the Switch Light is pocketable. (and it wasn't released back then, so it was no option anyway... 😁)
I own a Switch and a Steam Deck and I love them, but they're completely different handhelds than the ones before.
Dude to have gone from game gear as a child too steam deck now is something else lol
Games on the Steam Deck still look like the previous generation, but it isn't a big deal anymore.
@@SogonD.ZunatsuIt was impressive at launch, but I honestly stopped being impressed with it a year or two in when the battery life, the actual performance, and the build quality really started settling in for me.
Gamers expressing their happiness about games or new hardware/consoles will always give me joy
Picked up my OLED last week and haven't been able to put it down.... Revitalized my love for gaming :)
I am at a point that I dont enjoy gaming as much as I used to. I just wanna rock back and enjoy the games that my pc can run. I watched countless videos about steam deck and already made a wishlist on steam (the games I would usually not play on my pc) and even watching these videos ignited something in me. I ordered one as well, cant wait to put my hands on it.
Since I got my OLED Steam Deck my Series X, PS5 and OLED Switch have all been collecting dust. Awesome device. The Deck is my first step into PC gaming (I have been gaming since 1990 with the Game Boy) so long, long, long overdue stepping into the world of PC and Steam and oh my, it is wonderful.
You're doing it wrong. Just make the steamdeck do all thoe things. You can run switch games on it. You can stream the ps5 to it (also over the internet if you have unlimited data) and you can even stream you desktop to it. Thats the true endgame on the deck haha
Stream deck is the #1 gift for new dads. I've had more gametime over the last month since getting my deck then I have in the last 5 years since having kids
I’m still rocking my lcd deck playing kingdom hearts on it I upgraded the ssd to a 512gd
The best thing about the verification system is that it's basically just a suggestion as even some "unsupported" games tend to either just work or need a little tinkering to get it working. Though it's best to look at proton db to make sure that a game works well on the Steam Deck, which it's useful for Linux gaming in general. Of course you're mileage may vary when stepping out of the Steam Deck's comfort zone
The Deck is perfectly apt for strategy games. You just need to play around with Steam Input which is incredbly deep. Assign the whole screen as a mouse region to one of the trackpad, makes it completely viable and not only for RTSs but also menu heavy games.
I have one and some friends have been contemplating getting one cause they’re on sale rn. One of them is getting an ROG ally, so it’ll be nice to see how that compares.
I really am satisfied with the steam deck with all the emulation and modding support that the community has made for it. It almost feels official once you have it all set up. Being able to hook it up to the tv and play any game you want is great. Especially with the dock and a bunch of controllers. It’s like having a magic library of games. I’d say it’s actually going to end up saving space for me too since I can put all my old consoles away and just have the steam deck in their place.
I've got both the OG steam deck and Asus rog ally both devices are amazing, if I could only pick one I would keep the steam deck, out of the box is just a much more smooth experience, it's a tough call tough since I love the 1080p resolution plus a bit more power and better sound from the ally but battery is abysmal on the OG model, new refresh rog ally x seems like it's going to be amazing but also more expensive than a steam deck. So basically when I'm in the mood for indie games and emulation I pick up my steam deck since I don't have to worry to be plugged, and rog ally just keep it plugged and on 30 watt tdp to play more demanding games like Forza horizon etc.
My brother just bought me one and it’ll be here in the mail in like 3 days I’m high key hyped asf hearing all the good reviews on it
I used to own a GPD WIN3 that was essentially the same thing but win-10 operated, and now got a deck too. I have to say, this device has effectively destroyed the myth console players have that "you need a $1200 pro gamer race PC to play anything on par with my PS5/Xbox and also a PhD in computer software engineering to make sense of it". PC gaming is wholly accessible, it's not a matter of if or when, it's now a matter of how long it takes the myth to wither away now. You're correct on all your points.
One thing I use my deck for is coming over to friends houses with several controllers and my deck so we can play Street Fighter 6 locally
Have had my 64gb LCD deck for over a year now. The videos of Emudeck seriously made me part with my money. I upgraded my SSD to 512gb and added a 512 micro SD. Just awaiting a 1TB card as I have maxxed out. Got NES to Switch and all those inbetween. Throw in some Steam titles and oh my lord this is simply the best piece of tech I have ever owned (and yes, I put it above my PS5). I just wish I had more spare time in my life!
To be fair most games work in SteamOS these days, even "unsupported" ones. Proton has been improving at such a rate that the verification program can't keep up. The only 2 games that haven't worked for me required me to disable esync and fsync in proton. That sounds difficult, but you basically just add a command in the properties of the specific game. it basically takes 10 seconds to do, and you only need to do it once.
This is an awesome video keep it up!
My OLED is coming in the mail… I can’t wait…
i got mine 2 days ago, so far been playing rdr2 on mostly low settings with ultra textures at 35 - 45 fps. I truly am in love with this thing
@@TAC0925I’ve been emulating a lot lmao now I’ve got a huge backlog of games
I love the steam decks layout personally. I love how the joysticks and buttons are higher up. It does wonders for my thumbs. I also like how the Steam Deck uses full sized joysticks.
I have a high end gaming desktop, self built, with a 49" super-wide OLED Monitor and I honestly use my steam deck OLED more than it now. That being said I do often stream from my desktop to my steam deck when I'm at home and in some other room than where my desktop is. I stream to it mostly when it's docked to a TV, if I'm going mobile, I generally just run it locally right on deck itself and I have to say, I love the damn thing. I have trust in Valve as a company(more than others anyway) so my library is almost totally steam exclusive anyway so it's a perfect fit for me. Thank you Valve for keeping us PC gamers going for a couple decades now!
I'm genuinely debating whether or not I need this in my life or should I wait for the next generation. (PC gamer, never owned a handheld (not a real one anyway) and I rarely play with joysticks) I catch myself more and more often not playing, cuz I want to lay down after a long workday lol.
Although not a handheld gamer myself, I think it depends on what games you play the most. If you love indie games, singleplayer or want to revisit some classics from previous generations, then I think SD is the best bang for a buck, especially at surrent sale. But if you're a competitive player, use mostly mousa and keyboard and play multiplayer games with anticheat which might not be supported on the Linux device, then I don't know.
I was in the same boat. Used a gamesir controller for a while to stream steam games to my phone. Tried out a smaller device for dedicated gaming and retro play a la the retroid pocket 4 pro.. nice device just a bit too small and not nearly as capable. Order the 64gb steam deck yesterday and a 512gb SSD for only $37 on Amazon. My son plays my PC quite a bit so I'm always sharing time or waiting til the evening and like you said.. id rather just play in bed. The RP4 pro while fine, only has a 4.7 in screen and native play vs streaming is always better + quick resume. We shall see.
I just got a Deck recently after following it since release. I thought I would be using it for emulation primarily, but somehow I ended up turning it into my remote play device for PS5 and my desktop. When you're streaming games, you get the full power of the streamed machine and the Deck barely needs any power, so the battery life is amazing. Input lag is perfectly fine too. And I love accessing my desktop PC anywhere, it's so convenient. When I don't have net access, I just play indie games that have been in my backlog.
just ordered my OLED this morning can't wait for it to show up
I've had the Asus ROG Ally, GPD WIN Max 2 and currently own the Lenovo Legion Go and the OG Steam Deck LCD. Of all of those systems, I constantly come back to the Steam Deck because of the comfort, NO WINDOWS 11 jank and most important of all: the Sleep/Quick Resume function which none of the Windows PC handhelds have. The ease of use, exceptional customer service of Valve and just the simple fact that it just "works" is what makes the Steam Deck numero uno.
I love my deck, but unrivaled is quite the stretch.
Are you familiar with the word “opinion”?
Honestly? I'd probably agree with his sentiment (and I don't even own one) from a value standpoint alone the thing is pretty unrivaled
@@Mycarisloose no one said he can't have an opinion, but it's objectively wrong. Nearly every single competing device can do everything the deck can do, and several can do it better.
@internziko base ally can do everything the deck can do, at a similar price point.
Again, I absolutely love my deck. Play it more than more other handhelds, but it's not doing anything unique.
@@titzmageex More power doesn't equate to better when it comes to handhelds. Steam Deck hits the sweet spot between power/price and ease of use on a small screen.
*a PS5, Series x, PC, some other consoles and TWO Steam Decks!? Jesus how loaded is your Dad?*
I'm among the first who got a steam deck, and still love it. While I have a gaming PC that is pretty amazing, I find the Steam Deck just wonderful. BTW, I have 189 verified games, and 266 "playable" games. Of course, I buy cheap games during the seasonal sales, and humble bundles. But over 77 percent of my game library is supported. I bought the 512 model, and have two 512 SD cards.
I'm nearly 2 years with mine - and it is the best gaming system I have purchased since the Gamecube. I have a decent gaming PC that see almost no use since I got the Deck.
As a predominantly PC gamer since the early nineties - the biggest joy has been playing modded versions of my favourite games from the 90s. Playing through Deus Ex: Revision with all the extras like Project Helios Texture Pack was an amazing experience made possible in handheld mode thanks to the track pads. Fallout A Tale of Two Wastelands was an incredible experience on the deck - as are a handful of GZDoom mods like Blade of Agony.
Outside of a handful of titles - the Deck has been able to run not just the Verified and Playable titles on the store, but nearly anything I have thrown at it including the titles marked unknown as well as titles from my GOG and Epic accounts and even older Disc Based games in my collection like The Simpsons Hit and Run.
A Deck2 will be an instant buy for me in the future - and I hope to one day see a Steam Controller 2 that has parity with the Deck controls so that I can play a game like Deus Ex on the big screen with no issues.
Psst heres a nice trick. Use sunshine and moonshine and stream your desktop to the steam deck. Playing cyberpunk on ultra settings on it is wild.
Now I am playing the recent Wind Waker HD Randomizer on my Steamdeck. Even if Nintendo were to bring the game to switch, I cannot experience this lovely randomizer in a portable way without my steamdeck. This allows me to enjoy it so i am happy :).
what game at 2:49 please. Steam Deck OLED is all I ever wanted, makes me happy
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
I have gotten one myself, and the ability to play Modded Minecraft on the go is amazing. Previously I would play Minecraft on my Switch, but I'm not too fond of Vanilla Minecraft and prefer to play Java edition Minecraft.
Additionally, the eyes it gives on Gaming on Linux are also amazing. I use Linux on my Gaming rig and have seen improvements to compatibility increase by a lot. Which is amazing to see.
About battery life: Have you considered capping some of these games to 30-40-50 fps? They won't look any worse image quality wise, and I find that, more often than not, this is a worthy trade off.
The deck is REALLY good about conserving battery it there is headroom. I consider that it's greatest battery strength over other handhelds, being a lot more important than battery at full throttle for me.
ur channel is so underrated
Also love that steam remote play and PlayStation remote play work like a dream on this thing if you have a wifi 6 capable router
Buying a Steam deck is one of the best decisions i made in my life. I will always be on team steam deck unless they finally decide to make a mandatory subscription.
Do you have any plans to review the Switch version of Ace Combat 7?
It's nice to see a video packed with positivity and happiness (as opposed to all the complaining that takes place on here). You've earned my sub bro.
Got a deck this weekend. I cant put it down. Its a full sized gaming pc in my hands basically
A feature i really want to come one day is custom themes cause i really got bored from the normal UI
And one thing i REALLY HATE about this thing is that many cool features are locked behind the beta version which is often very unstable and take a long time before they come to stable
Ace combat 7 will also be available on switch this coming week
I’ve had mine for a year and I just now started using Decky Loader and I completely overhauled my home menu. It was always my least favorite part, it was so bland and boring. But now it’s very similar to some of my favorite consoles, Wii, psp, vita. Highly recommended getting decky loader if any of you haven’t, tons of cool addons to customize your deck to you liking.
Wonder how AC7 compares to the switch version. But you can't use the Switch like a PC.
I sold mine a few days ago if it wasn’t crashing on me and bugging out on me I would have kept it. I’ve had it for a bit over a year.
I like (don't love) my steam deck. The main issue I have is that I feel the controls are way too up. If I'm on my bed I feel like I have to lift my hands way too much and the thing is pretty heavy.
Steam Deck has exceeded my expectations
Love it for games, but I've also been using it to make keyboard PCBs while watching TV with my partner
I was thinking. In games were the Steam Deck utilize 20-25W all the time. Limit the FPS, if not much changes, limit the TDP. In most cases those games/game engines run logic on a per-tick basis instead of per-frame. Hence eating up all the resources they can get hold of, even though they don't need the power. (a good example of this is Cyberpunk) Also, the Steam Deck offers most Performance/watt at 3-10W after that you get very little extra performance for the power you are pushing into the system. So when playing portably, I would make a rule that you should lock the TDP to 8-10W and adjust the settings towards that target. that way you will get 2.5-3h in demanding games, without much loss to performance/visual quality
It was probably mentioned in the video but what was the game with the jet you were playing called?
I'd guess Ace Combat
I saw the title and said I agree.
2:20 some games marked as “not supported” work for me as well.
I lovd that I can play elderscrolls online on my deck! It said it was unsupported but ir worked without issue
Ive had my steam deck for almost 3 years i absolutely love this thing it can play almost everything. I recommend this to console gamers who want to dibble into pc gaming.
My steam deck oled is minutes from being delivered 👌
I’m getting laptop because if the game doesn’t have steam cloud it won’t transfer your steam deck and I’m 99 percent sure(I’m not 100 percent sure) it won’t let you transfer to your next steam deck you buy
Also won’t even save purchase(on a new videos games)when you buy the new steam deck. Theirs ways to transfer game games that don’t have steam cloud, but I cant find something simple to transfer everything.
I own both the deck and the rog ally but I always go back to the deck! Yes the rog is more powerful.. but the deck is so much easier to use! No crap just plug and play! And that beats power every single day of the week for me.
so i guess its good, the size its a plus ngl
The console gamer perspective is very intriguing for me. I'm not really a gamer and don't own any handheld, mostly interested in this stuff because I'm a Linux user lol. Still cool to see how people view this thing though
Personally i just enjoy playing PC games on it, of all kinds, new, old and indie
Even games designed specifically for PC CAN WORK with the Deck controls, tough admitedly you might have to dedicate a couple of hours to the robust, tough often finicky steam input, or get EXTREMELY lucky and find a good community config, unfortunately the config sharing interface is still super lackluster
I have several games that say unsupported that still play fine
My problem is justifying the repurchase of a game on the Deck after buying it on one of my consoles. I couldn’t justify it at all…but I did it anyway!!!😂
Now I have two Decks, one which is my handheld (OLED) and one connected to my TV (LCD).
3:10 well, we've got the switch port now and it's barely watered down
The Deck's 4 back grip buttons means you can assign all 4 face buttons to them so you needn't ever take your thumb off the right camera stick. Then you can assign the capacitive touch analog sticks to activate gyro pitch/yaw steering. So there's more added immersion to the controls that's not possible on Switch. It's the better way to "play" the game.
I definitely respect what Steam Deck did to handheld community on PC side, but I still don't know if I want one. At this point in time, the hardware itself feels kinda absolete for any more demanding titles and Linux still has it's limitations like anti-cheat compatibility for example. Not to mention I don't really mind any quirks of Windows - I never was a part of console crowd as a kid and that system was pretty much all I ever used for gaming. And just because of that, I don't own a library of console games for emulation.
On the other hand though, it's DIRT CHEAP. Especially LCD one that's on sale right now. I'm very impressed with ROG Ally X for example, but at the same time I feel like I could just throw extra 100 bucks and get a budget gaming laptop with RTX4060. Well, qt least Legion GO and OG Ally are weay cheaper now, too.
Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention that I have a huge backlog of games on Epic, Ubisoft Connect and EA Desktop. Aannnddd I play mostly multiplayer games, especially shooters.
I have one question though - have you, by any chance, tried using Lossless Scaling on the Deck? Does it actually work? I use it on my 7 years old laptop and it's doing wonders! Currently running God of War on Ultra with 120 frames!
Seem looking up Lossless Scaling it's don't work on steamos or linux, who knows for the future.
You have to be very clear about what you use the deck for, let’s be real it can not replace your desktop PC if you’re playing multiplayer shooters and AAA titles due to small screen and pathetic battery life, the same goes for ROG Ally. However for retro emulation, indie game and backlog clearing (most of it will be indie games) it does a fantastic job and for the current sale price on the LCD model nothing else can come close. It is also a beast when it comes to streaming since the video decoding latency is close to non existent and streaming doesn’t drain your battery fast. With that being said the screen is 800p, but shouldn’t matter too much if your main use is to play indie games.
ROG ALLY X
If you want to save battery life you can limin framerate.
I have a deck I had it almost a Year I gotta replace the SSD WITH a Tb and maybe add windows to play madden 25 that’s the only thing I dislike about this device every thing else blows the competition away regardless of the low level power to hate most gamers cry about but I still have my rador on the ROG X
I wish steam would expand their supported regions. Can't buy one
My steam deck has replaced my windows laptop as it has better paformans for gaming and anything I would need a computer to do I can do in desktop mode anyway
Can people stop saying the word Gush and get it scrubbed from existence😂
