The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on

PC gaming needed a budget champion and the Steam Deck filled that role at just the right time.

    Id say they’re probably someone that never had a handheld, because lately I’ve been using it more than my desktop lol

        What the fuck is with the formatting? I kept trying to read it as a poem or song.

      Nah I had and used my vita all the time but I think it is because it is a handheld and I don’t get on so well with them in general.

        I think its all about the games you choose! For example, survivor games like Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Soulstone Survivors are super fun to play on the deck.

        My spouse is also using it as emulator device so he’s been playing many ps1/ps2 games on it.

          I’m so addicted to halls of torment right now!!

          My desktop PC sits like 3 m away but I haven’t played on it since I got my steam deck. Playing in bed, on the sofa or even on the toilet on the steam deck is so much more fun! In the summer I would just lie in my hammock outside and play for hours. Such a great time :)

          Halls of Torment is actually one of the games I have played on there, I also did the same and set it up with a load of emulators but I think I enjoyed setting it up more than playing any of the games as I haven’t really put any time into any of them.

          The other thing I did play on there was Skate 2 but emulating that caused it to get really hot and absolutely chore through the battery in no time!

          The reason I have been hanging on to it is in the hope I find a jrpg or something as that is what I used my vita for the most but nothing has really come up that I want to play as of yet. I had been considering putting Disgaea 6 on there recently but haven’t ever gotten around to it.

            I recommend trying the first two Personas to start if you haven’t played those yet

              I played and absolutely loved P4G on the vita but I couldn’t get into the gameplay loop in P3P. The story was super interesting but the gameplay itself was repetitive and boring as it didn’t offer as much to do as you got in P4.

              Do you think the first 2 are worth playing having had 4 as my first persona game?

                Play Persona 5 Royal if you haven’t played it yet. They’re all separate stories, so the order you play them in doesn’t matter.

                One of the best jrpgs I’ve played in decades.

                    Like said previously you don’t have to play them in order. All the personas are great games to play on handhelds, I recommend it 100% (just be warned that the first persona isn’t was good looking as the other ones, but still a good game).
