Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

Another one here! Mostly playing Witcher 3 at the moment. And before that Disco Elysium.

Ive been emulating and toying around with linux a bit mostly I plan to get TOTK on there when im done playing it on the switch

Not played it on my deck yet, but I heard a LOT about Hades being amazing on Deck... I bought it the other day and played it a stupid amount over the weekend on my desktop in glorious 240FPS. Apparently it runs at a locked 60 on Deck!

Played through Bioshock, I forgot how good that game was.

I used to, does that count? I'm still an avid linux gamer, but mine was just sitting unused compared to my desktop before I decided to sell. Either way, currently playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu. Hasn't been exactly smooth sailing but overall it's been pretty good. The main issues are the emu being so new (bugs) and not having an idea what mods and settings are best for my particular hardware, and TBH steamdeck is great in this area since they're all the same platform aside the storage.

My joycons are breaking and they are so expensive to replace that I am considering getting a steamdeck instead. How well does switch emulation work in general on the steamdeck?

I have a modded switch and I am happy to dump my game carts and emulate them, if they work somewhat well enough.

👋 playing God of War.

I know it isn't typical, but I love using my deck as a Steam Link client.

I literally haven't played my PC since getting my steam deck, it's fantastic. When they make a Steam Deck 2 I'll preorder it.

Pro-tip I've discovered: Don't trust Steam's "not supported" flag. It's probably supported fine, if you can enter a command line to bypass the launcher. 99% of the "not supported" guys are launcher problems. And you can play your Epic and GOG games through Heroic Launcher.

Played MGS5 through to completion, worked flawlessly. Played through the Kingdom series. Been playing Offworld Trading Company. Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Mortal Kombat 11. Devil May Cry 5. Played Elite Dangerous a bit just to make sure it would (requires bypassing launcher but works). Going to do a replay of Fallout New Vegas here once I'm done with OTC, or maybe Fallout 4 or Outer Worlds. Also been meaning to throw Cyberpunk at it to see how it handles but I don't suspect it's gonna present a problem.

Seriously, these things are the missing link in PC gaming.

Recently just finished the base difficulty story mode of Furi (amazing game highly recommended) and the lightning boss in Zelda tears of the kingdom.

Disco Elysium. Fantastic writing and pretty hilarious at times.

It's also pretty good as a portable PC when traveling too, so that's nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

System shock! The remake is really good and worth a look for anyone who was into the BioShock games

Batman Arkham City, then I moved on to Arkham Knight but I streamed that from my desktop because it's more demanding. Now I'm trying to figure out what to play next. Maybe Jedi Fallen Order.

Burnout revenge and dishonored

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm currently really into playing Mount & Blade Bannerlord on the Steam Deck, but I use it for just about everything these days. Between my whole Steam library and emulators that can play all the games I grew up with, it's like having my whole gaming lifetime in a tiny portable machine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I got Drakenguard 3 running on rpcs3 recently so I've mainly been playing that. Also been playing Pokemon infinite fusion.

I tend to prefer games that aren't as heavy on the deck and stuff like cyberpunk and Elden ring better on my main rig.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mostly emulation. As a day 1 Dreamcast owner, the Dreamcast emulation has been mindblowing.

Most of the A-list games I prefer on console, so I don't bother with them on Steam.

Looking to get a steam deck as my next big purchase. Seems like the perfect gaming device for me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been playing the games from the most recent humble bundle, eternal threads was a big surprise! It's really good!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same, I'm on GRIME and it's amazing!

I've been emulating Mario Party Superstars and Mario Kart 8. Yuzu's multiplayer is amazing!

I have played some "lighter" titles like Journey (originally a PS exclusive), Little Nightmares and Crossing Souls. It's really nice to be able to play PC games on the go and (although I've not yet played AAA games on it) am quite pleased with it's performance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Just got here and I have been playing D4 on the deck since early access. Love the deck!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I love my SteamDeck! I've been playing ToTK on it lately, and before that was Hi-Fi Rush.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm mostly distracted away from my Steam Deck by Tears of the Kingdom right now. One thing I love about the Steam Deck is the controls—I'm an avid Steam Controller user, as well. Because of that, I actually like playing stuff "more suited" to my desktop, thanks to the Steam Deck's superior controls. Elden Ring, for example.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Currently playing SF6. RE Engine is a wonder.
