Comment on [Game] ‘Starfield’ Steam Deck review in progress - "good in some parts but struggles in cities"
conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 year agoIt doesn't matter. 30FPS is a technically bad game if it's literally flawless in every other aspect.
It's one thing to say "the switch is such shit that that's all we can handle" and ship it without limitations, but there is no game where it isn't a significant limitation. It's not suddenly OK just because your actions aren't in real time.

What I’m saying it’s that for many games and for many gamers it does not matter, and you can in fact play the game even if it goes bellow 30fps in the deck. But if you need a mouse for clicking “Start Adventure” you can’t play it without doing some hop jumping on your part.
So, for the Deck Verified badge
In my opinion expecting the badge to mean any other thing than what Valve means with it will be an exercise in frustration on your part.
“Technically good” or “Technically bad” are not the benchmarks for the label. Maybe you should look for that in another place?
