mrfriki,

The screen is way better particularly the 90hz upgrade, playing at 90 FPS is so much smoother than 60, since I mostly play indies and old games on the deck I hit that frame rate all the time. Also I used to love my Vita and Switch because of the Oled screen. I now can play my Vita and Switch games on a 7+ inches oled display with proper controls, plus all my pc games. The brightness increases makes playing games on the couch on plain day light feasible, previously I had to turn the blinds in order to properly enjoy a game. That’s no longer the case.

The battery upgrade is very nice, specially for more demanding games . I usually only play lighter games on a handheld as opposed to AAA and rarely play more than 2-3 hours per session so the battery has always been fine for me, however when playing games like Resident Evil the battery lasted about 2 hours, now it last 3.5 hours, enough for a full gaming session. Games like Hardcore mecha get over 10 hours which mean i could take the Deck on a Weekend trip and forget about charging it.

The sticks feel way better too, not as good as the PS4 controller, the middle part is still a little slippery but close enough.

All that said the games you will play are as as much fun in the Oled model than in the regular one. I sold my LCD Deck so the upgrade have been relatively cheap but if you have to buy a new one and find a sweet deal on an LCD model don’t hesitate, to will be able to upgrade to the Deck 2 in 18-24 months.

mrfriki,

Three hours you mean, right?

mrfriki,

Except for very rare occasions (Remmant 2 comes to mind) I very rarely pay more than €20 for a game. I think that is a fair price, both for indies, which will sell less copies but are also smaller teams and for AAA, which are larger teams but also sell much more copies. Anything beyond €20 is a premium if you are not willing to wait.

mrfriki,

That’s important too, wait for reviews just in case it is a flop or it full of bugs.

mrfriki,

I Gad the 256GB model and got the base 512 OLED. Screen is much better, those 90hz are sweet, battery lasts roughly 40-50% more and the sticks are much better. But at the end of the day, the games are as much as fun on both systems.

mrfriki,

When they started vaulting content I had paid for is when I stopped playing.

mrfriki,

I didn’t have thought much about owls in the past until I discovered this sub a few weeks ago. Now I love them. Also this showdown event is so much fun. Thanks you guys!

mrfriki,

Open world games are a hit or miss for me, enjoyed the hell out of the first Horizon, Red Dead Redemption and Spiderman. Couldn’t stand more than a few hours of Assassin Creed or Far Cry.

Game pass as a trend poses a serious dangers for developers and publishers alike, the moment people get used to pay €2-5 for a game it will be difficult for them to compete with €60-70 a game.

For us gamers is a blessing as long as the monthly price doesn’t exceed the price of the combined games you can play in that period.

I for example get 1-2 months a year of Game Pass. I’m getting 1 month next. I’m planning on play Dead Space, Lies of P and Persona Tactica, and, since I have holidays vacations this year maybe I will able to play either Starfield or Jusant. That mean I will be paying €10 for playing games Worth €180-240. Never in history have we gamers had this kind of deal.

mrfriki,

Been buying for under €20 the lasts 5 years or so. Can’t see this trend changing anytime soon.

mrfriki,

I played the demo this past weekend and after the 4-5 hours it lasted I was kinda bored, it feels a little too automated. No potions, regenerating mana, loads of meaningless drops. It was really pretty though.

mrfriki,

It would be the perfect phone for me since it doesn’t have a camera bump and no notch on the front, even if I never game on a phone. The sheer size and the water sink that the fan holes are is what keeping me from getting it.

mrfriki,

Been too long in design to know that this is perfectly plausible. On very, very, low budget projects tough.

mrfriki,

It’s supposedly arriving today according to the tracking number.

mrfriki,

Ordered on launch day, 20 minutes in. It went on preparing order status after half an hour and it has remained like that until a couple of hours ago when it went into order delivered status and now I’ve got the tracking number.

mrfriki,

Ah, so this is why zombies were festing on me in Resident Evil Remastered. It makes sense now xD

mrfriki,

I can only identify the second one which is Persona 5. I also interested in knowing as I thought the first one was Lovely Planet and it clearly is not.

mrfriki,

That makes the two of us. I was 15 minutes stuck in the address confirmation. Happily it suddenly went to the payment page and then to checkout. Let’s hope it doesn’t get misplaced in another country during transit for two weeks like the original Deck did.

mrfriki,

Planning on getting a month of Gamepass to play this game, Lies of P and maybe Rollerdrome or Sea of Stars.

mrfriki, (edited )

Not saying they are bad games but 6 sequels, one of them a remake, and not a single new game. That pretty much summarizes the state of the current gaming industry.

mrfriki, (edited )

HDR OLED is huge for me. I will be upgrading and selling my current Deck to pad the cost. Hopefully scalpers and bots won’t ruin the launch date.

mrfriki,

Another week, another company developing miraculous battery technology.

mrfriki,

Hence the 4x4 sticker: 4 parking spaces for 4 wheels.

mrfriki,

I don’t know why. I own about 80 games from Epic. I didn’t pay a dime tough.

mrfriki,

Literal shit post.

mrfriki,

I installed Firefox the other day but small at it might be the lack of immersive mode (aka hide the status bar on scroll) was a deal breaker for me. After a couple of years using Samsung Internet I got too used to it. Hopefully there will be an extension for this.

mrfriki,

If you pay that without waiting for reviews then it is a well deserved price.

mrfriki,

On the contrary, you should be paying less, since you don’t have to pay for a Windows 11 license. And while Steam can charge whatever they want for their Steam OS license, it shouldn’t be as much since they haven’t had to develop a full fledged OS.

mrfriki,

They never did left

mrfriki,

Should have ended some 20 years ago.

mrfriki,

I mean, we are already living in a dumb world. Making it dumber won’t change things much.

mrfriki,

…is now available in Forspoken by Square Enix and Immortals of Aveum™ by Ascendant Studios…

You are welcome.

mrfriki,

24 bit / 96kHz playback over WiFi is going to be huge.

mrfriki,

Haven’t played yet but when you put a game on streaming on day one you can’t expect to get crazy sales.

mrfriki,

My dude diligently carrying his bone in his way to work.

mrfriki,

Here in Spain the non pro version is €250 cheaper (€650 vs. €900).

mrfriki,

Inception pepper.

mrfriki,

Nah, we designers only do stuff that help boost sales. If people want changes, we will do them, even if the make not much sense because they’ll sell more stuff. Kind of sad but this is it.

mrfriki,

It kind of makes sense a mid cicle refresh much like Nintendo did with the Switch Oled or Sony made in the past with the slim and pro models. But that would imply that we are at mid circle in this Deck gen life. It’s only have been around 18 months since it released, right? If they are planning for 3-4 years cycles then this could make sense.

mrfriki,

This is nice. I don’t care about end game and only want to play the campaign so I’ll wait until it drops to €20 to get it.

Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the past month, sorted by playtime.

@steamdeck

mrfriki,

All of those AAA and I’m here playing Suikoden 2…

mrfriki,

Do they don’t know how to turn off notifications of do they just don’t care?

mrfriki,

Well, people pay/tip a fuckton to those streamers so i guess that everyone has their stripper of choice to throw money at.

mrfriki,

Particularly for those of us who care little to none about selfies.

mrfriki,

Anything kimchi has my approval.
