My Steam Deck is amazing and plays games I already own. And, my backlog of shame is indeed gigantic. Kids gave me the Switch in 2024. I have one game, cost me $70.

On the battery life. Steam Deck is a portable PC (though some games cover it and does not allow user to tweak settings, unless additional CMD param is provided, and are using Steam Deck preset). The point is this device offers compromise between graphical fidelity and battery life which is up to user to use. From picking lower settings at which game still looks good, to tweaking fps limit, tdp limit, or gpu speed. It is not a console. For people not willing to set the settings themselves or play with max out this is not a right device as handhelds have their limitations.
@@JokARTainment if u tinker the steamdeck to the same quality and fps as the switch youd get more battery life out of the steam deck than the switch, personally i play it docked, playing r6, and when i wanna lay down and play a rpg i just plug it in because i dont wanna degrade the battery too much
I only use my switch for smash bros after getting my Steam Deck OLED. There really isn't much reason for me to use it anymore since everything I play runs and looks better on my deck
Really? My pc and consoles looks and plays better than the Deck, so does that mean I shouldn't play my deck lol? Also, if u only find smash appealing on switch, you don't know or have many great games on switch. I have 296 games my switch (physically) that don't even make me bother using my deck.
after taking the Steamdeck on a 1 month honeymoon, i was going mad. When it comes to things working 100% when you are offline, Switch is still the king. I love both of them, glad to see others just love the consoles for what they are instead of trying to compare
Yeah, especially if you have both. There's no need to measure which one is better than the other because both have their pros and cons. It's ultimately up to the consumer to determine which one is right for them. At the end of the day, we're all doing something we love and that's playing video games. Sure, some of us play them differently than others, but that's what makes this a fun hobby. Not everyone has the same universal experience and that's why it's fun to just interact with others in the community.
Great video bro, how difficult was it to get the pc ports of Zelda? I’m new to my steam deck and pc gaming in general. Having a very difficult time finding Roms and/or dumping my games
Wasn't difficult at all, in fact the SOH crew made native linux ports for the Zelda decompilations, just check the github on your deck's desktop mode and find the linux version, download it, then add to steam and you're there.
The switch is much more easy to just pop a game in and play with friends, I use the steamdeck for pc games, I use the switch for 1st party games and casual stuff
@@wakemeupinside8627 I agree 100%. I love Zelda and I can’t get new Zelda running on deck, but I can bust out my lightweight switch and have a great time. Video games rule regardless of choice of platform
Get around 3 n half hrs out of metal gear solid the phantom pain at a locked 40 runs brilliantly and that does me by that time my legs need stretching out anyway.
40 FPS is for sure the sweet spot between performance and battery. You can get fantastic settings between 2:30-3:30 hours on any PS4 era, and for newer games you are probably still looking at medium settings and 2:00 HRS so it can handle that well too. Just the very demanding/unoptomized games are out of its wheelhouse. To me it's the everything machine, 99% of the games I like accross every generation of consoles and PC are playable on it with excellent performance.
The switch is so fun for multiplayer games (Mario kart 8/Smash Bros Ultimate/Mario Maker2) or for the more "gimicky" games like Skyward sword, i COULD emulate Skyward Sword HD on Steam Deck but i personally would rather play it on a smaller console with much better battery life AND with the option to use motion controls at any time. The Steam Deck is great since a bunch of games i want to play ARENT availalbe on the Eshop (oficial games like Sonic Generations/Unleashed/SADX/SA2B, or even fan games like P-06, Fallen Star, Robo Blast 2, Triple Trouble 16 bit etc), but the battery life, the size and how hard it is to find for a decent price in my country (Brazil, had to pay almost 700$ for this 400$ device, you dont even wanna KNOW about the Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go lol) makes it hard to recommend for people who just dont care about mods or graphics. These consoles are phenomenal for different reasons, just cuz u like the switch doesnt mean you'll like the steam deck and vise versa, but i adore these 2 consoles, i love playing Tetris 99 and Mario kart with my family and i love playing Sonic Unleashed, SADX and SA2 with mods on road trips Thing is, i havent turned on my ps5 in MONTHS, i might actually jsut sell it and get a pc ngl, had a lot of fun with spiderman 2 but i think its time for me to move on idk

@@JokARTainment I think part of it for me is also that I rarely travel, like maybe for a week every 2 years or so, so I get a lot less use from handhelds than most people
just a tip, limiting gpu frequencies can not only save battery life (one of the complaints im sure a lot of ppl have made lol) but also if it’s set to around 900 for ps3 and 360 games it can actually run games better since it allows the steam deck to output more power to the cpu (emulation usually runs better on cpu)
i tried playing the ps3 version of shadow of the colossus and it wouldn’t run great at first , barely 30fps but limiting to 900 got me to around 60 easy

@@javierdelgado3915 that’s dope. Maybe one day I will. I’m content with what I got for now though.
@@JokARTainment Better battery life, 90hz capacity, slightly larger screen, improved ergonomics, Wi-Fi 6E.
@@JokARTainment if youre satisfied with tour steam deck, just wait for steam deck 2, no need to drop more cash for something that's not more powerful
just a tip, limiting gpu frequencies can not only save battery life (one of the complaints im sure a lot of ppl have made lol) but also if it’s set to around 900 for ps3 and 360 games it can actually run games better since it allows the steam deck to output more power to the cpu (emulation usually runs better on cpu)
i tried playing the ps3 version of shadow of the colossus and it wouldn’t run great at first , barely 30fps but limiting to 900 got me to around 60 easy
xenia uses the gpu more so i dont think it would help for that

Never forget to limit your GPU wattage and clock speed, and lock your screen refresh rate. These actions will help keep your battery life and temperatures in check. Trust me, just do it, and don't underestimate how much better your experience will be.
@@SexManNordin oh I know. I am enjoying my deck so much playing PS2 games.
