But not the Steam Deck. No, I need the extra GPU power and better screens of the Ryzen 7 7840U powered devices that have arrived recently, and because I crave that USB4 connection, too.
I've been playing the game wherever using the AOKZOE A1 Pro because it's got a high-res screen and the Radeon 780M iGPU, but also because it's got a USB4 port that lets me hook it up to a standard Thunderbolt external GPU dock when I'm at home. That means I can take twin advantage of both a discrete, desktop RTX 3070 and DLSS.
That feel when this is not-so-subtly an ad disguised as an article.
And I mean, is this guy kidding us? A craving to connect an external GPU which will double the amount of dB heard, while playing within the handheld console which you’ll not be able to move much because of the external GPU plugged in? Man, like… just use Steam Link to your PC with your Chinese toy instead of paying 3-4K bucks for a 800p resolution screen experience.
Honestly my PC gaming habits dropped dramatically since owning a Steam Deck. Easier to play a steam Deck with kids in the room vs PC, and I'm starting to just wait for games to be "Steam Deck" ready now
Yeah I spent like 5hrs a week on the train, the steam deck is a god sent. I was a little bit afraid that the controls for Baldurs Gate would be terrible, but I enjoy them a lot
Same here except x2. Me and my gf were hoping for a DOS2 replacement and boy does it feel that way. Even the first couple of hours it has that divinity look and feel (no spoilers but the first couple of hours are very similar in many ways it seems).
Been playing on the steam deck and it has been an excellent experience so far. Play the game with a banana for all I care. More people need to experience and support Larian's masterpiece.
The controller support is so good. I played like 50 hours of early access on keyboard and mouse, but I've used my controller since launch and haven't skipped a beat in functionality.
I haven't picked up the game yet, but this would likely be my move too. I really like using my PC to play games, but apparently can't be bothered to buy a decent desk chair. So couch it is!
I'm currently away and finding the experience on my steam deck really great out of the box! I set one of my back buttons to toggle the thing that shows interactables around you and looking forward to finding more little tweaks to do as I play.
When I tried this (default controls, mapping left alt to one of the back buttons) the game would pause while swapping to the mouse and keyboard overlay and stick to that until I hit another button. I wasn't able to move around while the overlay was swapped. Was this the same for you or did you map it in a different way?
The only problem with controller I've had is the input box doesn't open for text boxes where applicable. Though that could just be Steam and there isn't too many input boxes like that.
