I was skeptical at first and I finally gave in two weeks ago and it arrived last week.
I love my Steam Deck, this seems dumb but I actually use it to stream my ps5 and more intensive PC games. It easier to move around and pick up and put down. I've started to play games I bought years ago. Finished Limbo and Inside and playing Bioshock Remastered.
that's not dumb at all, it's a great use for it! I had planned to make mine strictly an emulation device (which it's amazing for) until I realized how well it handled bigger titles. not perfectly by any stretch, but mostly smooth and playable.
I had never played any of the fallout games and I've had a blast with new Vegas and fallout 4. I'd owned them for years but just never got around to it.
if only I could stop playing bg3 for long enough to get through some more of my backlog...
I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 on my Steam Deck since release, it's been such a great experience I can not recommend it enough, I never thought I would be able to play such a great game confortably from my bed on a "handheld" (?).
Very true, I should've thought more clearly about this specifics of some of these. Pretty sure it's literally only up there because either people are trying to fix it and this constantly launching it / having it open makes it #2.. or it's just up there because it's new and very popular
The people who are playing on Deck use mods to make its graphics simpler while running CryoUtilities and SteamOS 3.5 and this and that. Seems like you can get it running pretty decently if you're willing to do a crap ton of tinkering first.
