Comment on The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on

  I’m not sure what you expected the Steam Deck to do?

    It does what I “expected it to do” I think it comes down to the fact that I thought I would use it more but I find it uncomfortable to use.

    In general I don’t get on so well with handhelds, I just hoped that this one would be the change in that, I loved the vita and used that all the time but every other handheld I’ve ever owned I never really used bar the aforementioned vita and the neo geo pocket colour way back when.

      Mine is mostly hooked up to my lounge tv via a dock and using my steam controller. Gets me out of my work room.

      If you have a cool living room setup (nice tv/sofa/soundbar) the dock is a must have!

        I never saw the point in wasting my money on a dock when it takes me 15 seconds to just plug my laptop in with a HDMI cable and have more power and compatibility. G

    Id say they’re probably someone that never had a handheld, because lately I’ve been using it more than my desktop lol

      Nah I had and used my vita all the time but I think it is because it is a handheld and I don’t get on so well with them in general.

        I think its all about the games you choose! For example, survivor games like Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Soulstone Survivors are super fun to play on the deck.

        My spouse is also using it as emulator device so he’s been playing many ps1/ps2 games on it.

  This sounds like a “you” problem.

    Did I say it wasn’t?

      You called it an expensive paper weight. Insulting something that people like will often prompt them to defend it. It’s perfectly fine to not like something. It’s fine to point out objective flaws in it. However, don’t call something bad (which is essentially what you did) just because you don’t like it. That starts arguments.

      To be clear, I don’t want to argue here. I just want to point out an observation that has impacted how and when I state my opinion.

        It is good to give people the benefit of the doubt (I know it is hard, but trust me it works wonders). I could easily say that my Switch was a paper weight for a long time before I actually got use out of it, so they didn’t elaborate and maybe wanted to show frustration that their investment wasn’t good enough for their use. When in doubt just ask people to elaborate, no need to escalate.

  So sell it. They’re pretty easy to sell used.
