I had an old MSI gaming laptop from 2016 which was amazing for me (I always had slow, 2nd hand laptops before) and now I’ve sold it and my PS Vita in order to buy a Steam Deck. I want to play Elden Ring, the Souls series, Sekiro and some indie games like Vampire Survivor. I also want to emulate games (Gameboy gen up to PS2 gen). Would that be a good investment or should I just go for a PC? I travel frequently because of my job.
Being a 40s gamer with bad eyes, the only thing I dislike about the Deck is the small screen size, which keeps me from using it handheld as much as I’d like to.
But it’s my only PC currently, and it’s fantastic docked with Bluetooth M&K. In every other way but the native screen, it’s exceeded my expectations.
Down the road when it’s time to upgrade, I’ll probably get a device with a larger screen, but I will always love the Deck, which has convinced me that I’ll probably never main a laptop again.
I replaced my PS4 with it. I game on the couch handheld style when I don’t want to annoy my wife. I game on the TV with MnK blue tooth or my old ps4 controller when i do.
Thank you I find it really heartwarming that you still play video games.
Why? I mean those who first grew up with games can be 50+, and it’s not like all games are for children.
I’m 47 and love my steam deck!
@morgan_423 @neku Never say never. I think maybe I should get a ps5. I know I am missing out gaming at high settings.
