it’s fascinating how the “top selling” that is measured by “gross revenue” has so many “free to play” games on the top. ahhh the aggressive gambling tactics
Pretty much the same titles over and over again.
I’ll never not be shocked at BG3 because it runs potato quality but to each their own, I suppose.
The default settings look pretty bad, but with some setting changes you can get it to look a lot better without sacrificing too much performance.
It’s not really the type of game that has to run at a solid 60 FPS or anything.
imma part of the reason it shows up.
Cool!
Agree. AAA titles aren’t suited to run on a Deck and should be streamed from a PC with remote play…but I this k this is the appeal of having the games in a portable format, that people are willing to put up with such shit performance.
It really depends on the specific game, many older AAA games or non-unreal games run fine.
It’s also interesting seeing how some games run much better now than they did on release. CP2077 (non-dlc parts) runs pretty well now for example, much better than it did when the Deck first came out.
I thought elden ring ran beautifully. Is bg3 that rough on deck?
It’s not “rough”, it’s just not great.
Runs fine on mine but it definitely runs it at a weird res and upscales to maintain performance
I love potatoes, also BG3 works fine on the deck?
Define “fine”. Is it playable? Sure. But it also looks quite bad at 800p/low/30fps
The display of the steam deck is only 720p in the first place.
It’s 800p
Oh right, had just assumed it’s 720p because the width is 1280. So it isn’t 16:9, which is nice but slightly surprising!
Yea it’s 16:10
I really dislike the way they hide the original prices on Steam now and you have to open the store pages to find the original price.
I think it even goes against some consumer rules here in Europe.
(I think they even didn’t have the original price visible for a while)
No, this is pro-consumer. Showing the original price and the “X% off!” sign is price anchoring designed to make you think you’re getting a great deal and to make you feel urgency to buy it now. It’s why we all have such giant collections of unplayed games.
Huh? What do you mean? For me it looks like this (am in the EU tho):
