The Gamecube too. It was reasonably understood that the Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2, but not as powerful as the Xbox. It's only with the Wii in 2006 that they pivoted to lower cost/lower power devices. The Wii roughly matched the original Xbox in terms of performance 5 years after the Xbox came out, and at a time when everyone else was pushing for high definition.
It was already super easy, all you had to do was use Lutris to run Vortex and link the game folder. Two additional super simple steps. Or you could just drag and drop your mods in the games directory or mod folder manually just like windows. Maybe Bethesda games are a bit obnoxious, mostly just because of the absurd amount of mods people seem to use for their games and the complicated load orders that result. I haven't done that because certain other RPGs made Bethesda's unplayable to me, namely CDPR and Larian's. I'll admit that's an exception to my point though. I have all of the same mods as I use on PC installed for CP2077 TW3, and BG3 though, and I wouldn't say it was noticeably more difficult to do on my deck.
@Negentropy369 It was easy for people that have previously installed mods and know how to use a computer. With the new update, it makes it so your grandma can install mods. Makes it more of console-like experience.
I haven't played my oled switch since I purchased my Steam Deck! Valve is supreme, and the Steam Deck 2 will shut down all of its competitors! Keep the videos coming. We appreciate the work you do.
same for me although i had the OG Nintendo switch. Despite it being heavier and bigger, I can play the steam deck for hours without my hand cramping up. Games on steam are cheaper too especially during sales. I can buy steam games and if I don't like how it performs on the deck, Steam refunds me after a day or so :)
@cebukitty Facts those discounts are 🔥 🔥 🔥! And that refund policy is unbeatable! I was never a PC 🎮 gamer until I bought my Steam Deck. I have no regrets!
I kind of disagree with your first part of the video. There are already consistent leaks about Nintendo's new console and the worst scenario in terms of raw power will be around ps4/steamdeck's base level without including capabilities of dlss, tensor/shader cores etc. The general consensus is that the switch 2 will be closer to series s than ps4 or steam deck. It is possible that steamdeck will outperform in some cases but this will not be the norm. Nintendo's new hardware will have games optimized for the hardware with all the goodies from nvidia. Steam deck will probably keep the massive library of games, the advantages of been a console pc and even if it does not hold its ground it terms of effective performance against nintendo's next console, I will keep using it for most of my time anyway.
My old roommate and spiritual brother bought me an OLED steam deck as a belated Christmas present for a few years missing out on gifts for me. It basically immediately replaced my switch as my portable gaming system AND basically opened pc gaming to me and quickly became one of my favorite toys. This thing is fantastic and I love it. And I can properly play kingdom hearts on it, unlike the switch. Sorry Nintendo, this thing is just better at doing what I want it to do than the switch. Still a good system for fun though.
I think you'd have to REALLY want to play Nintendo exclusives to warrant the purchase of any future Nintendo portable consoles these days. I've invested alot of money into the Nintendo ecosystem in the past but the SD wasn't a thing then.
7:04 personally most of the games I mod have their own mod managers (celeste, outer wilds, minecraft, breath of the wild), or have built in mod support (homestuck, rivals of aether, terraria (kinda)), the only game I'd use that with would be slime rancher (potentially)
I lived near and occasionally visited Little Falls NY which is the town the movie “A Quiet Place” was filmed in. So it was pretty cool seeing that place be featured in a hit movie.

Hey I just got starship troopers extinction running on the steam deck at 40 FPS which is very impressive for a early access game with as much as they're putting into it with persistent bodies blood and huge numbers of enemies, The game does drop to about 10 FPS when high enemy spawn, but it does not crash it does not stutter it is somewhat playable You're not going to be running around crazy during that time but if he stay in one spot and just shoot can actually get a lot done, and the frames come right back the second the bugs leave it's very impressive very stable
I don't regret buying my OLED Switch at all because of Nintendo first party games. But I am the exact same when it comes to any other game. Now I buy them for the Steam Deck.
Proud SD OLED owner and do enjoy mods but at the moment only do it for BG3 and Elden Ring. I really hope they support both of those (Seems like BG3 will have its own official supportt ). I run these games on my SD and also on my linux desktop. So I hope these will be supported
There is zero sense in comparing a nintendo switch with a steam deck. First the steam deck is the double the price of the switch. The switch has sold over 140 million units, the steam deck's only official number of sales was between 1 and 2 million.(Valve then decided not to post anymore sales numbers)
it took me a long time to install the nexus mod app on my steam deck.. there's no instructions. no one to tell me to use the vortex download button. i was installing mods manually and trying to add it after but it wouldn't work. The app itself isn't all that intuitive. It needs to already have some "best" or "most popular" mods. Once i got it up and running , it worked flawlessly
My steam deck is now a brick because I didn’t charge it for a month. Won’t buy another steam deck, or any games on steam. I’m going back to my switch. Since it’s out of warranty it’s gonna cost 200.00 bucks to replace a battery in a unit that’s 2 years old. My first gen switch still powers up and works if I don’t charge it for 6 months.
Deck Oled battery is abyssmal, worst than Switch Oled. With the enormous size of the Steamdeck there is no reason for that device to not triple its current battery capacity.
I got a steam deck lcd to replace my switch for the exact reasons you mention. I did get an ally. And I love it to an extent. I also splurged for the xg mobile 4090. I wanted an older modle but could only find a the 3080 one for a grand on ebay. So I figured just get the newer one. I do use it alot at my job for more demanding games. Just started once human last night
Why LCD and not OLED, I have 512 lcd, I bought ally but returned it with two days, battery life is horrible, re4 remake runs on full settings on deck for 3 hour 8 minutes and on ally the console turned off in one hour 39 minutes. I took a $50 loss and returned the ally. Performance wise it was good but again it needs to be plugged in, for that I have my ps5 and series X.
Hey, I was just wondering I know you do a lot of videos and you like the steam deck but I was just wondering is the steam deck worth buying if your somebody That all they wanna do is just play games and not tinker with stuff. Are you able to play games on steam deck without having to go to settings and tinker with the settings because I’m somebody that doesn’t know how to do all that kind of stuff. I’m not good at that kind of stuff. I’m just looking for something that I can play my games on and does half-life run well on the steam deck.
I've never been a fan of the UI for any of the Nexus/vortex mod manager tools. I managed to get my mods working just by dragging and dropping direct file downloads into the appropriate folders and it sucks. I'll have to take a look at this new tool to see if it's just as garbage as the desktop client or not.
The overwhelming majority of games aren’t even played at 60fps & even friends who have a PS5 opt for the “Quality” mode & play at 30fps, & look at Series S completely dominating Xbox console sales at 70% of that market. The graphic wh_res are just a very vocal part of the market.

Perceiving frame rates is cursed knowledge. Once it's learned it cannot be unlearned. It's a hard choice letting the laymen be happy in their ignorance.
Honestly speaking 2 hours and a half or 3 hours is a really good battery life, what nintendo should seriously improve which has been a problem since the 3DS is sleep mode battery drain, it's ridiculous, i can leave my PSVita for a month in standby/sleep, and the battery will still be at 50%+ and it's the original battery, haven't replaced it yet, meanwhile my 2DS and Switch barely last a week. And one more thing they should do is stop dropping frequencies/voltages of stuff that barely affects battery life, like the RAM on the regular Switch, 99% of performance issues on the switch are due to ultra slow RAM, they stupidly underclocked it, it uses LPDDR4 at DDR2 speeds, it's ridiculous, if you put the ram at it's "default" speed of 2133mhz, you will only lose maybe 3 or 4 minutes of battery life and solve the vast majority of issues regarding performance.
"going for the casual audience that dont see framerate" actually i think its the opposite, the casual audience only see the framerate because they know nothing about gaming, while the hardcore dont care about it as long as its stable and acceptable, and only care about what really matter: gameplay... seriously, i know you're not one of those, but this discourse you said feels like you are... the type of people anoying that only care about graphics and specs and ignore all the rest.
I don't need a Switch 2 until a good Zelda game releases. Then I will only buy an OLED model For now I am saving for an OLED Steam Deck as I have the original LCD
Just sell the LCD Deck and get the OLED Deck. You will never go back to the LCD once you get the OLED, trust me. I sold mine last week because it was just collecting dust for months.

Totally random question but I went to a couple of your videos and I cannot find the one where you mentioned a site that you can get cheaper games to purchase
For me, i am sorry but i would never compare my steam deck with the switch my steam deck it was this thing which make my pc gaming life as a parent so easier, nintendo have done so much with so little power their consoles need and thats thk to the great game development but there is 3rd party studios who suffered so much cause the lack of power of the nintendo switch.
3:34 there is so much wrong with what you just said, soft modding was hardware patched before redbox, hard modding is possible on any switch, yes that includes the oled, the lite, and the redbox, and switch modding isn't just for piracy, it's also for modding games, have you seen the insane botw mods people hava made, you can get entire dlc's worth of more content in that game through modding. 5:34 again? you don't need "technical knowhow" to dump switch games, you either need a launch model to soft mod, a modchip to hard mod, or some money to buy that new dumper device.
No I have to agree because Nintendo needs 3rd party games in order to get more audience, if system is weak companies won't be able to port their games on it and run smoothly. I know graphics isn't always everything but you need a strong system in order play some new games and the steam deck barely handles some new triple A games that comes out.
@@Swankensteiner I'm talking about all types gamers, they're people out there who will literally buy a brand new system to play a specific game, and if Nintendo doesn't get those games then they won't be able to convince these people to buy their system
@@victorxmaster634 Yeah that's what I thought. The Switch isn't a very demanding system but you can tweak the Deck in game for better life. But I'm sure your well aware of that already lol. I'm always looking for a good smaller power bank for my Deck!
@@OLOF313 yeah probably for battery life on the internal battery the steam deck is the only acceptable handheld pc(good performance at lower wattages) the rog ally x has good battery life but that’s just brute forcing it at this point, imagine if the steam deck oled had an 80 wh battery
I have to take all Nintendo rumors with many grains of salt because everyone has made fools of themselves in the past. Super switch anyone? That said, if the power rumors turn out to be true, then I will most likely pass on it. I'm getting pretty tired of their underpowered ways.
The Switch is available widely around the world. The Deck isn't. You can't buy it officially in Australia, India, Brazil or a hundred other countries. Sadly, and pathetically, the Deck remains a (popular) niche product. This has been part success, part huge failure by Valve.
The switch and switch oled do not last 2-3 hours on games 😂, my switch lite lasts a little bit less than 4 hours in the most intensive games. Stop speaking nonsense
This guy says deck news and talk about the switch trying to compare bro one is Nintendo that can’t play steam library enough said also you buy resident evil on the switch you a fraud
Nobody remembers this but Nintendo started out banking on graphics the NES, SNES, and N64 were powerhouse consoles relative to their time.

Yeah I think he flipped the steam deck around with the switch, the switch lasts way more than a steam deck
@@victorxmaster634 Yeah that's what I thought. The Switch isn't a very demanding system but you can tweak the Deck in game for better life. But I'm sure your well aware of that already lol. I'm always looking for a good smaller power bank for my Deck!
@@OLOF313 yeah probably for battery life on the internal battery the steam deck is the only acceptable handheld pc(good performance at lower wattages) the rog ally x has good battery life but that’s just brute forcing it at this point, imagine if the steam deck oled had an 80 wh battery
Switch 2 DOA!!
It'll be DOA
I have to take all Nintendo rumors with many grains of salt because everyone has made fools of themselves in the past. Super switch anyone? That said, if the power rumors turn out to be true, then I will most likely pass on it. I'm getting pretty tired of their underpowered ways.
The Switch is available widely around the world.
The Deck isn't. You can't buy it officially in Australia, India, Brazil or a hundred other countries.
Sadly, and pathetically, the Deck remains a (popular) niche product.
This has been part success, part huge failure by Valve.
The switch and switch oled do not last 2-3 hours on games 😂, my switch lite lasts a little bit less than 4 hours in the most intensive games. Stop speaking nonsense
