I really want a Deck but I'm not sure how much I'll play it :/
What's funny for me is I have two gaming PCs and yet I play more games on the deck. It's just easier for me to pop into games for an hour or so and suspend it when I'm done. So far I've beaten the Trails In The Sky trilogy (with each game taking me about 3-4 months to beat) and it's been such a wonderful experience on the deck.
Same here. I built a new PC recently but I still play mainly on the deck. Sitting in front of the PC all day at work is enough.
I really want a deck and would use it hours every day, but I can barely afford food.
It's funny because I was at a point where I wasn't playing games at all really, not on my big PC, phone, or anywhere.
I had pre-ordered the steam deck for my wife, and she used it a bit but when TotK came out that took all her attention playing on switch.
I had poked around on the deck, played a few games, but didn't love using a controller instead of mouse and keyboard.
Then we had a gig where we had to sit in a car for 8 hours, and she convinced me to try playing horizon ZD. I had never played it, but I ended up really liking it. And the convenience of having it on the deck was great! I ended up playing it all the time, and beating it, and now I'm emulating BotW, playing it for the first time, and enjoying it.
Now I've gone full crazy, I'm emulating a couple dozen games, got a bunch of others installed and waiting. I upgraded my SSD to 2tb, replaced my fan, and am eyeballing that clear back with RGB.
My advice, if you can afford it, get it and just see what you think. You might like it!
Or, if you don't like it, you can resell it. The value of these things seems to stay reasonably high. Though I imagine we might see a drop in price with the flood of LCD models about to hit the market.
Funny. I had bought one for my ex when we were together and played it a little. I really enjoyed playing games and messing with it. I had plans to do some emulation on it too.
But now she's gone and the Deck was a gift so it is too.
I want one but i just don't game much and i would never actually sell it. Lol
Buy a used one, if you don't like it, sell it for most of what you paid
Just do it. You know you want to.
Same. Go halfs with me and we can share it.
