Hey everyone,
Inspired by u/markercore and their great threads over in the switch Reddit, I figured I’d try to get some fun game focused conversation going over here! So, what are you playing this weekend? Personally I picked up a ton during the sale for my OLED, and I’m really diving into Dying Light for the first time, which is extremely fun. Also hoping to check out Sonic Frontiers and a few other odds and ends.
How about you all? Pickup anything exciting during the sale? Going onto hour 500 of Vampire Survivors? Lemme know!
Baldurs gate 3. After giving up on waiting for sale, I finally got it and now I can’t stop playing
How well do the controls work for BG3 on the Deck?
It is a way different experience. You have to relearn how to play when using controller. For example you no longer click the spot, you just move around freely. You also have a little less precision when placing attacks like spells at specific spots but if you have a PS5 controller (I play docked), the TouchPad help a lot with this issue. In general it takes a little longer to do things but it isn’t a game breaker, just takes more time to learn it. The graphics are what shocked me. Coming from a 3070 to the steam deck was like being flung unto a play station 3. But you get used to that as well
How well does it run on SD? Like in terms of frame rate, graphics, etc?
Surprisingly well. I had a few crashes at the start but after restarting, I could set every preset to quality and still got roughly between 20-40 fps, so average 30. I would reccomend making space on the ssd to play bg3 as the micro SD card will make it noticeably slower, even a good one.
Good to know, thank you so much! Much appreciated.
Nice one. For me it’s “The Nothing” because my Deck has been stuck in the Netherlands warehouse for days now.
