Who would buy a Switch 2 when a Steam Deck does the job better?

Switch TWO games.

the thumbsticks are touch sensitive?
I have a deck and didnt even know this

>>719833492
Capacitive joysticks. Making gyro even better.

>>719833352 (OP)
i stick with nintendo because the steam deck is for chuddies

>>719834081
simply not wise

>>719833352 (OP)
I just want a console to pick and play, not to watch movies or posting here with you retards, I have a PC for that.

The Deck is more powerful than Switch 2?

>>719833352 (OP)
I just wish every game had this on the deck. Imagine playing Deus Ex with this level of control.

>>719833352 (OP)
Splatoon

>>719837048
Switch 2 runs Star Wars Outlaws at 4k and 30 fps. Steamie Decker can't even boot it lmao.

>>719837048
It's on par. Same performance, same battery life, same size etc. This means that the Steam Deck is infinitely better than the Switch because you can install whatever you want while Switch only has the eShop.

>>719837539
>4k
Upscaled.
>30fps
Meanwhile Deckies understand the limitations of their handheld system and use their PCs instead.

>>719833352 (OP)
>Steam kek
A desktop or laptop does the job better.

>>719837539
Why would any human being want to run that game

>>719833631
this is dumb
gyro should be on 24/7 if you actually want to use it

>>719833352 (OP)
Who would buy a Steam Deck2 when a laptop does the job better?

>>719837872
Why are mindbroken consolefags incapable of understanding that a Steam Deck is intended to be a secondary PC to be used alongside a normal desktop PC?
>>719837960
>doesn't use gyro
Most gyro setups have a way to turn off gyro so you can reset the controller's position after aiming.
>>719837967
Laptops are fucking dogshit if you want actual portable gaming when compared to the Deck. You need a power outlet and a surface to use it (especially with a mouse). Meanwhile the Deck has gyro and trackpads designed for thumbs because Gaben understood that no one wants to lug around periphals just to play PC games outside.

See picrel.

>>719837967
With a laptop you need to open it a repaste it every two years with a Steam Deck it's not necessary

>>719838297
Why can't PC vegans handle criticism?

This is with you changing the image MD5, how much do you get paid?

>>719837960
You've never used gyro in any competent application before if you want it activated the whole time. In fact joystick activation is pretty retarded and should be changed to something that require more deliberate activation methods, like an ADS key. This is because you don't want the screen to be reacting to your slightest movement unless you're actually ready to shoot. I'd bind it with the dedicated ADS key for games that have it, or otherwise create a smart action key set specifically for the game.

>>719838297
>Its designed to be completely useless so it's ok

>>719838297
>you need a power outlet
so just the same as the deck as the battery only lasts a few hours?

>>719837621
Deck is my favourite controller, I'm hoping they will do a SC 2 with the same layout.
Very simply its a handheld PC so you have all the implications of that. Unless you are buying for a child (fair enough, keep them locked down), there would be no reason to get a switch 2 when you can pirate or enjoy your steam library on the deck. You can emulate everything including switch 1 games and even bloodborne.
As for recent AAA games, nothing is good anyway and you can use your PC.
The next version of the steam deck will probably be egpu compatible or you can get a legion go if you really don't have a standalone PC.

>use their PCs instead.
Exactly why I don't have a deck

I own a laptop like most people that travel around a lot, why would I buy a deck?

>>719838880
You wouldn't. UMPCs don't have a purpose.

>>719834608
Emulators?? I have a smartphone.

>>719838456
I'm phoneposting in bed.
>PSP
There's no reason to use hardware for PSP when PPSSPP exists, unless you've modded your PSP with those fuckhueg batteries.
>>719838438
Why can't consoleniggers argue in good faith?
>>719838525
Yeah that's the downside of laptops. Most of them are just shitty desktops with a built in UPS and screen. Meanwhile Deck was designed by gamers for gamers.
>>719838535
Steam Deck is efficient enough to be used with a decent sized powerbank, while decent gaming laptops instantly die without those massive portable batteries.
>>719839049
>It plays PC games before 2020.

>>719839182
I was arguing in good faith, PC vegan.

A laptop lasts around the same as a steam deck, lmao. And uniroincally it's easier to carry around a laptop as they are designed to fit well in a backpack or laptop bag. While the deck is a big clunky brick that doesn't fit anywhere.

Deck has 0 games, Switch 2 has a few games and will get more

Ok, post battery duration.

>>719838297
>>719838523
you use a button to reset the camera or you use the joystick/touchpad to reset your view you dumbfuck retards
gyro needs to be on all the time in any game where you actually use it and need to flick or aim suddenly no matter what your hands are doing
having a button to turn gyro on is like not pointing your gun at someone actively shooting at you

>>719839285
>good faith
The Steam Deck is advertised as "a way to take PC games on the go". Its target audience is people who have a large enough Steam library (a.k.a desktop PC users) to justify spending on a second machine for use in cases where they can't or don't want to use their desktop.

You're not arguing in good faith because your entire argument is based on the assumption that it's a PC replacement.

>>719839458
>no games
Steam Deck: has Armored Core 6
Shitch: no Armored Core 6

gonna get a Deck 2 if they unfuck the battery life

>>719837048
yes actually since switch 2's cpu is more bottlenecked not to mention the vastly superior oled screen with higer response times

>>719833352 (OP)
There's no reason to buy either if you are not an obese homosexual

>>719839623
>The Steam Deck is advertised as "a way to take PC games on the go".
I already have a laptop

What else, PC vegan?

Your entire argument is based on the assumption that it's a console replacement. If you don't like that logic you'll have to fix your approach. Nothing I can do about your own logic, sorry champ.

>>719837354
Optional and I turn them off half the time

I don't care. I'm just going to keep using my deck.

>>719840156
>my entire identiy as a steam deck owner is that I'm a sex pest and a pedophile
We know.

>>719833352 (OP)
Why would I get a Steam Deck when I can wait for the Steam Deck 2 to hit retailers?

>>719833352 (OP)

>>719837048
It just has more games

>>719833352 (OP)
Steam deck is only good if you’re playing triple a slop released in the past 10 years, most games are pretty much unplayable without totally customized control layouts .

>>719841847
Not really. Switch has 2 exclusives while Steam Deck had 0 (zero)

>PLEASE BUY A DECK. PLEEEEEEAAASSEEEE PLEEEAAASSEEE BUY A FUCKING DECK, VALVE IS STARVING. I'LL SHOW YOU MY COCK PLEASE BUY A DECK
no.

>>719833352 (OP)
Didn't know it could do that, but on the other hand i'm not a retard who plays shooters with a controller.

>>719841657
If you start saving 50 cents a day, you'll have enough for a deck when it comes out.

>>719839623
Armored core is a movie and not a game.

>>719837354
It's literally the only way to precision aim on controllers.
