How does Midnight Sons run on the Deck? I saw it's verified but that doesn't mean it runs great.

How is RDR2 on the deck? I played through on PS4 and have a hankering to play it again…. And it’s on sale too.

It’s excellent. Locked 30 fps. Definitely recommended.

I’m maybe a half hour in and it runs well so far. The default settings seem pretty good, but I’m sure I haven’t stressed the game yet, since I’ve only done the fire fight you get into in the intro section

The only issue with RDR2 I had on deck is that it was a game that always needed to be online, and that's rockstar's fault. Otherwise, great deck game.

I’m about 6 hours in, played probably half of that time on deck and haven’t had any issues. I’m using default settings and locked the frame rate to 30. I have ran the CryoUtilities and increased vram but not sure if that is required.

It doesn’t need to be always online, but it does need to connect to the stupid Rockstar Social Club when starting it up.

Is RDR2 a game that expects you to have played the first in the series at all? Afaik it has the same protagonist as the first?

Rockstar could use some of that GTA Online cash to remake RDR1 but they’re just gonna hoard it.

I’d rather have GTA 6 than RDR1 tbh. It’s insanely hosed up that over a span of 12 years we had everything from original GTA to GTA4 and two decent sized expansions, and now we’re a decade deep into GTA V being re-released across 3 loving console generations with no end in sight.

If you've played the original you're more familiar with the characters and it's a good setup to the events of the first game. Do you need to play the first game? Nah, not really but it helps put a lot of things in context and makes the story more fulfilling. Rockstar assumes you're at least familiar with the first game but it's far from mandatory. Just read a plot synopsis of the first game if you want to fully understand the characters and you'll be good enough. They're developed well enough to definitely not require it though.

History Comes Inside! posted:I’d rather have GTA 6 than RDR1 tbh. I think it just comes down to "why make/release new thing when old thing still sells so well". Every year, you're hearing about GTAV selling another 10 or so million copies. It's sold more units than Sony did Playstation 2's. It is the best selling entertainment product of all time. Then you have GTAV online which at one point, was bringing in an additional billion dollars a year. but yeah, I'd love a remastered (Remarstoned?) edition of RDR1

Oh yeah it’s obvious why they haven’t done it, they already have a money printer. That doesn’t make it any less hosed up from an “I’d really like to play a new game in the franchise I enjoy” perspective.

For RDR2, I don't know if it's still this way, but if you did any of the bios-y things to give yourself more video memory you may for some reason tank performance with rain scenes or any visible flowing water. It stands out in the benchmark, and I ultimately reverted to the default video memory assignment. Ran great after that anyway.

Over a year out from launch, here is an interview with Valve designer Lawrence Yang and engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-community-continues-to-blow-our-minds-valve-talk-the-steam-deck-one-year-on quote:"The biggest surprise for me has been seeing how Steam Deck has changed the way people are playing their games. One thing we've learned recently is that of the people who've purchased a Steam Deck, 42% of them end up spending the majority of their Steam gaming time on Steam Deck – preferring it over their other devices." In other news, there's an HD texture pack for the open Jack and Daxter port. Not that it would make a huge difference on the Deck's screen, just another reason to if you haven't played it yet.

FSR does tend to make rain look a bit blurry, but otherwise, it looks and plays amazing. You can even use the touch pad to reel in fish instead of having to use the joystick. A++ would play again.

Hey guys, I'm going to be changing jobs this spring to something that has me traveling a heck of a lot more. I love my Switch but I'm giving up hope of getting the library I assumed we'd have 6 years ago. I basically want to load something up with all the top-tier games I missed from the 2010's when I didn't have a PC. Also any Gamecube and PS2 compatibility is welcome. I have a RP3+ for my earlier retro library but would love to get more current games. Anyways, I caved and ordered a Deck on Monday. Says it's packaged and waiting to be shipped. Hurry up and get here, sucka!

It's a good thing the Deck is so good because it's still the only device that'll do all that without costing over $1000.

What I recommend getting is a 65w charger with a USB C port and a 10ft USB C to C cable. The charger it comes with is short and not powerful enough to charge while playing. I went with a ten foot cord so I can play in bed without worrying about ripping the cord out. This is the Amazon Basics cable I use. Here’s an Anker charger that would do.

unruly posted:Huh. I never had an issue with the charger itself. It charges while I play. BUT the Anker brick does look smaller and easier to travel with, plus more ports. I love Anker's charging stuff, so I might just have to pick that up. it charges while i play too--quickly. if it doesn't there's something wrong.

I looked into the charging thing and iirc 40W is all you need to be able to charge at the max rate (20W) while playing at the max power usage (20W). I'm disappointed the Deck can't charge faster than that but it would probably cause heat issues.

The 45W Anker Nano II is a good bit smaller than the OEM charger if you want a second charger. I have a 65W Anker Nano II that's about the same size but also works with my laptop.

I bought the 64GB but my replacement 512GB SSD came today, so I'll be cracking it open later and then I can actually start messing around with settings and emulators properly.
