Disappointing Pie posted:Is anyone mostly using their Deck as an emulation device via EmuDeck? I'm always paranoid about the experience being compromised or decision paralysis over is this the best way to play these games currently? On paper for me it's perfect, I've been looking for the holy grail of big handheld emulation beast for ages, and this seems to be about it and I already own one. All I'm interested in is PS2 and under emulation... I just worry it's still a little too fiddly to be a great experience. I'm probably being dumb about this lol. Are you me? This is basically my use case. Can't wait.

HopperUK posted:It's great on Deck, yeah. I would just buy the base game until you're sure you really love it. The DLCs variously add a *lot* and the base game has plenty to be getting on with. 100% agree with this poster. I grabbed it when it came out for Switch years ago, and I still keep coming back to it. Great time killer, tons of content even in the base game (although switch came with Afterbirth). That said I can understand why people don't want to look at Newground's style Flash buttholes. My nephews think its the most vile game they've laid eyes on and they think their mom would kill them if she saw it.

I picked up my Switch Lite after 2 weeks of Deckin' and holy poo poo it is so small. The entire Lite is the size of Deck's screen. I'm also very impressed how well it runs RDR2, better than my series X.

I was thinking about getting RollerDrome but upon checking it out I saw there is no multiplayer component. The game still looks interesting but I was under the false assumption that it did have PvP. Can anyone highly recommend it? I do like games in the genre (Jet Set, THPS, various other extreme sports)

Squiggle posted:They also just added "FPS" style controls for MW5 for controllers, whatever that actually means. This is how I'm playing. It's got UI changes although sometimes they bug. It's very doable in handheld. I'm only a few hours in and it's perfectly serviceable

One thing I am having to reconcile with being a handheld only pleb is that PC games don't have aim assist. gently caress yeah I love having HL2 or Titanfall2 portable, but I suck with the trackpads and joysticks make me feel like I'm controlling a boat. I've been coddled by console shooters since 2006

FishMcCool posted:Gyro aiming is pretty good if you can be bothered to set it up (or your game already has a community setup for it I guess). Splatoon totally opened my eyes to gyro awesomeness. Same for me. But not being able to change gyro settings without closing the game absolutely sucks.

I have got to share some praise for Adaca. Runs great on Deck, a very inspired HL2-like game. Even has a campaign as well as a Stalker/Tarkov open world mode that is separate from the 3 hour-ish campaign

TraderStav posted:I have it on the Oculus and it's an incredible experience, with and without weed. I'm not kidding when I say it's therapy, it produces such a meditative and focused state that I feel better after playing it. Even better if you have headphones. I'm realizing that it's been far too long since I've played it and may dive into it later tonight if I remember to. I first got it for PSVR many years ago and it was hands down my go-to Vr game. I rebought it on Oculus 2 because it really is a transformative experience. I get like, depressed, when I take off the headset.

I use a pair of entry level TurtleBeach headphones that are wired, think they were $50 (this was 2 years ago). I don't mind having to use a headphone jack and cord while playing video games. It's movements like exercising and chores that trip me up with a cord. Even some wired earbuds trip me up and I end up tangled. But for $50 these have served me well on Deck, Switch, and Xbox S/X

I just put that Cryolite manager onto my Deck. Pretty wild that guy was able to pull something like this off. I'm not expecting the world here but from what he showed the was a decent FPS boost on a few games.

loquacius posted:Is Death Stranding an action RPG it's a lot of things but ARPG is not one. Honestly, DS is just like MGSV. but with the Kojima factor cranked to 11. You do a lot of walking and sneaking in big open areas and set pieces. You can shoot your way through bandits but its riskier than sneaking. If you like the weirdness he puts in his games you'll like it.

PantsBandit posted:I want to like Pizza Tower but the first time I played it felt like I was barely in control. Lots of sensory input while wrestling with tons of tech and being expected to go fast. It's one of those games that feels difficult to master but after level 3 it clicks. Like Rocket League, you'll learn the controls in about 10 minutes but it takes some time for you to feel confident

I bought Terraria for Switch and its way too small to play handheld, both on Switch Lite and the OG. Deck's screen is the size of the entire Switch Lite but I can't imagine its much better.

jokes posted:I think it's great, personally, but I can imagine going from a large screen to a handheld is hard to do. I bought it because my nephew wanted me to play it with him and I had to say "I'm too old, I can't read any of this" on the Switch. Glad you're enjoying it on Deck! Speak of "games where you dig down" I grabbed Noita and it plays extremely well on handheld Deck. It uses a 360 degree aiming gimmick that works wonderfully with both the trackpad and the right stick. I like this game a lot.

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. Welcome to the fold.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is $2.50 right now. It's an older game and a bastard of ARMA. It's pretty much what you'd expect out of a more modern version of the OG Ghost Recon games. Runs amazing on deck and has great handheld controls by default
