Steam deck is shockingly good, it's insane how well they nailed rev1. It's not a perfect device but to get into one for $400 I think they made all the right compromises
I friggin love mine. It's a lifesaver when I have to travel for work and am stuck in a hotel or if I want to hang out in the living room or in bed and game. I've always had really good experiences with Valve hardware. Loved my steam link and still have 3 steam controllers too.
That's the part that keeps me from doing it. While portability is nice, I have a really great desktop with an ultra wide. That ultra wide in particular is what makes PC gaming really great for me. I think I'd only use it on longer trips, which isn't that often.
Aw lawd hold me back; I've been battling that temptation for months now while it was at normal retail pricing - a discount is added temptation I absolutely did not need.
I was so skeptical about it but it has been amazing. Really hard to overstate. I've been travelling a lot and gaming a ton on it and it's just so... nice.
One of the best games I've played in the past few years, the story reaaaaally picks up in the middle so it might be a slow start on that area. Luckily combat and puzzles are quite fun
I remember that game but I forgot its name sadly. I do remember that it is playable on pretty much every device basically from Consoles, PC, its even on the Switch! Perchance.
Playing this on Xbox 360 for the first time felt truly magical. Are you going to do vanilla or with mods? I wouldn't mind revisiting it and seeing what the mods are like, actually.
Titanfall 2 is less than 5 dollars right now. Link. You can also use a community mod client to play on private servers fixing pretty much all the issues playing multiplayer.
Instantly bought Project Zomboid finally (after having "owned" it for half a decade by now). Am currently deciding if I should buy Far Cry 3 &| 4. Perchance. If someone can vouch for Far Cry 5 I might take a look at that as well.
I only became 18 last year, I'm now fresh out of school and haven't received my first paycheck yet. Before that I barely had more than 10-20 € at a time because my allowance wasn't very high.
The fact that I couldn't open a bank account before I became 18 complicated things further.
But I knew that I wanted to buy it within the first few hours of playing it.

You really do though, especially if you're running a 3+year laptop or 5+year desktop.

Will shit. It's tempting but I think I would just continue to use my PC instead. I'm home quite a bit.

Forwarding my comment from another thread:
This is a great sale, I'm a bit jealous that I own everything I want lately. Some highlights:
axtualdave@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
I picked this up for the xbox a while back. One of the most engaging games I've played in a long time.
Entropywins@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
I had an absolute blast playing control... I had such a big smile on my face with the metal music part, oh so much fun!!!
CoderKat@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
That is the best part and honest one of the best parts of gaming in general.
Kinda reminds me of burning the weed fields in Far Cry 3.

DMC5 for 10 bucks is insane.
genoxidedev1@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Oh damn CrossCode for 6$? I've actually looked at it recently (like a day or two ago) it looked cool. I have to think about getting it. Perchance.

I found the dialog to be too awkwardly written. Couldn't stick with it

Just dropped a crisp fiver on Oblivion, figured 17 years of people telling me to play it is enough reason to give it a shot
sota2077@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Just wait until you buy the sequel ;)
user1919@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
It will take another 17 years.

I think you're mistaken. If they released a sequel to Oblivion, I must have missed it. What system is it on!?

It's pretty fun. The side quests are great. I spent way to much time with the Dark Brotherhood lol. Easily my most played Elder Scrolls.
crr10@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
My brother had knee surgery right when this game came out, he put over 500 hours into it by the time he had recovered. Definitely worth $5!

Tempted to get a Steam Deck...

If you bought us all a Steam Deck, we could play together...

Jeez I only "owned" it for like a year before buying it. Why did you hold out so long?
