poopy_butt 29 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 ive been considering a mid tier gaming system for way too long now but suddenly a steam oled seems like a good alternative. Whoever has bought one, how do you like it? Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,199 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The Legion Go is on sale for $630 on Amazon and would also be worth considering for that price range. Link to post Share on other sites

However i feel like steam deck will survive and all these other companies are gambling much harder in the market. Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 3,002 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Its crazy to me that people would pay 650 dollars for a gaming device that can barely run new games. Link to post Share on other sites

It can play the vast majority of new games. I mean the AAA games you're talking about... you get a few of them a year.. lmao. Most 3rd party games will run just fine... assuming you have reasonably expectations for a handheld device. And there will continue to be games for years and years which release and work on the device. There's still like 4 more years left in this gen.. the requirements aren't going to be getting higher any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Steam Deck's hardware is quite dated at this point so if newer 3D games are your focus then it might not be the right choice. I noticed recently that many journalists were posting Hellblade 2 loaded on their Allys but I saw nobody trying to play it on the Deck. Its probably not even working properly on that system which has been the case for some newer games. Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,149 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I have the original 512gb deck from launch and it's great. If I were you I would get a cheaper one just because there's no telling when the successor will be released. It's a great system. Link to post Share on other sites
