I just saw last night that it added 3rd person and character models I was like “whaaaaat, I’m not just floating hands anymore?”
I’m gonna have to jump back in and tear some shit down.
I’ll be honest In my head I always imagined the characters looking more like cube world
You mean more like Veloren. 🙃
(It’a basically a community revival of Cube World.)
I was pleasantly surprised by Teardown’s campaign. Didn’t expect it to be that good. Completed the story in the base game and had a lot of fun.
Ran well on the Steam Deck.
ok, im not hatin on the steam deck. ive never even seen one in person so im bias for sure. however, what exactly is the appeal of it? I PC game exclusively and have 3 26" curved monitors at 5760x1080, so having a unit that is smaller than my keyboard seems counterintuitive to me. again, im not tryin to come off as a jerk or ‘pc master’ kinda thing. I’m honestly wondering what the appeal is, am i just spoiled?
Happy to answer! Don’t worry I don’t bite haha.
Its draws for me were:
- Portability: Carry it wherever you want. Game on the couch or on the go.
- Price: Starts at 400 USD.
- Performance: It has decent performance.
- Ease of use: It’s plug and play like a console. Don’t have to mess around with settings if you don’t want to.
- Dockable: Use any USB C dock to connect it to your monitor/TV and play games on a larger screen.
- Linux PC: Switch to Desktop Mode and it’s now a regular computer.
- Not restricted to Steam: If you have a game library on other service such as GOG or Epic, you can use a third-party launcher like Heroic.
- Repairability: Valve’s been good about providing spare parts. You can upgrade storage on your own.
- Comes with a nice carry case.
Drawbacks that I found:
- Certain games aren’t supported on Linux - especially many multiplayer games with anti-cheat.
- It’s heavy: My fingers fatigue far quicker as compared to a Nintendo Switch. Haven’t tried other handhelds so I can’t provide a comparison with them.
Yeah what’s the appeal of portable gaming console (which is also a computer if you want it to be)?
Beats me tbh🤔
I’ve got a 1440p oled, driven by a 4090 monstrosity at home that I use mainly for apex legends. I also travel for work 3-4 months of the year, and the steam deck is great for catching up on all the other games in my library while I’m on the road.
I play a lot of flights and train rides. Tried the laptop life. No real comparison especially with the APUs being so strong these days.
When its 2 inches from your face monitor size doesn’t matter
have 3 26" curved monitors at 5760x1080,
OK, but do you have a really comfy couch?
I don’t think you can take your 3 curved monitors in eg. trains or other travel with you. :P
I don’t have steamdeck either, but seems like pretty dope portable system to me.
