Watch my Asus ROG Ally X Review Here: https://youtu.be/_PP05mYSGNE
Best review! I agree 100% after owning steam deck oled (1tb) and a rog ally x.
can ur switch run gta5 60fps on high
I’m waiting for the Switch 2.
Why have a kickstand? Wouldn’t match the rest of the design. It’s designed to be held in your hands, and it does that well. Its design and optimization is what puts it above the rest. At least in this moment of time.
Maybe next time try lowering the annoying music, that way you won’t have to shout that much
Yes it's overhyped, still a good handheld. It fits a niche, just like all handhelds do. Though it is a bit annoying its users think it's the best. It is the best, for YOU. Just like the Rog Ally is the best for ME. You need to take a look at the most played games in order to see what the average consumer would play: PUBG, Naraka, COD, GTA V, Elden Ring, CP2077, Throne and Liberty, Stardew Valley, MHW, Black Myth Wukong, Warframe, etc.
And those are just the games from Steam, in reality you need to add in Overwatch 2, Minecraft, and many more. You see a pattern here? Most are demanding games, and competitive games too. Just like in my case, I got the ally cause it was the best price for the performance. I don't care about the battery, I can get a power bank. Screen size is good enough for me, and OLED isn't enough for me to justify playing in half or less the fps.
Most people play a match of overwatch/cod whatever, beat a boss on elden ring/black myth wukong, or fool around in GTA V and that's it. From the stard, OW/COD and most competitive games aren't viable for the SD. GTA V doesn't even work on the SD, and you're left with 30 fps for the remaining games. That's why I said it fits a niche. If you're the type that likes to emulate, plays Hallow Knight, Ori, Stardew Valley, Dead Cells and so on. The this is the perfect device for you no questions asked. But MOST players aren't like that, as you can see by the average chart. So I don't get why people always recommend the Steamdeck. You think John over here would rather play his cod match in 40fps or 120 fps?
You like to emulate, play cozy non demanding games, indie games, and so on? Steam deck for sure. You want performance? Rog Ally. You want performance and a bigger screen? Legion go. You want to try new stuff, with more performance than the SD and less than the ally/lego? Onexplayer. This is the market so far. And most surveys do show that the majority of players would rather have more fps than better graphics (surveys that are usually done by consoles like PS5 or XBOX). Why do you think handhelds would be any different? Again, I wish biased SD owners would understand that before recommending SD to EVERYONE. I don't recommend the Rog Ally for everyone, because while it is for the majority, there's still other niches.
Edit: It's extra annoying when fanboys say you can tinker with the SD and install epic games and play GTA V and whatnot. So? Usually your main argument for the SD is "It's just like a console, plug and play, windows sucks!" cause other handhelds can also easily Install Bazzite and have the steamdeck experience. So the only argument left would be the OLED screen, and I promise you most people would choose TRIPLE the fps, longevity, 120/144hz, VRR, battery life (in the case of the rog ally x) and many more the steamdeck doesnt have instead of an OLED screen. Why do you think the average gamer's monitor is IPS or VA? A 24 inch OLED isn't crazy expensive, and if you can afford a handheld you can definitely afford an oled monitor for your pc.
its honestly too weak. ive had it for 6 months. had some fun with it when it doesn't run games like dogshi. I feel like fanboys overhyped it way too much for what it is. for titles from 2015 and below its fine. newer stuff needs some work and thats being generous. 40fps dont cut it in this day and age, even for a handheld. weve seen and have gotten better with their own cons. it was an okay buy. just dont expect too much.
Why are you shouting? xD
My volume was at 100 and this mf somehow turned it to 200
I just can't get over the fact that Xbox PC Game Pass doesn't work on the Steam Deck. That's a huge dealbreaker for me.
maybe shout less
If talking in CAPS was a person
its the best handheld
10,000 emulated console games all ready to play, and 600 steam games in my library, my steam deck OLED is perfect for travelling with!
Games are just optimized like crap it’s sad people prioritize graphics over performance
bugs was posted by competitor, it's funny whenever i bought a game or device the news that spread around is the bugs, but never once i encounter the bugs
Cool video man. Nice!
gonna wait one or two more generations to come, hes strugglint in AAA games like FF16, horizon zero dawn etc…
Okay, okay if i buy the steam oled, will you stop yelling at me?
why are you shouting?? chill
Bring on the Steam Deck 2
I wish I had a $1,000 to get it. I would upgrade the ssd and the shell with the buttons and stream it.
I don't use my PC, switch, or older consoles anymore. Everything is on the deck now. 10 months after my purchase, I'm still in my honeymoon phase with it.
OK YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT AT ME
WHY ARE WE YELLING?
I like my SD OLED but it is a little underpowered. Unless you're always playing indie titles you'll want a bit more power.
The Deck is in it for versatility over shear power. What was one a pipe dream is now a reality. All these modern games are playable on a handheld. Even if the resolution and graphics is limited that does not matter. There is more to games than looking perfect and Valve understands that. The switch showed what could be possible for a handheld and Valve pushed the concept very far. If the Switch 2 can match or surpass the decks power then devices like this are the future
Please stop yelling at me
Many new handheld gaming devices cannot run the new forza Motorsport games b/c it’s optimized like sh!t, to the point of borderline brokenness. Not only can the deck run it, but it can run it at high setting & get 90 fps, which was a result I was not expecting, using lossless scaling. A windows steam deck OLED is one of the underrated pieces of tech you are ever gonna find. A steam deck that has Linux installed is basically a coaster. If you don’t install windows 11 on this device you are doing it all wrong. I don’t know what to tell you😂 in no world does a steam deck run as if it’s underpowered while using Lossless scaling. Yeah it can’t do 1080p that just reserves more power for the resolution if is running. The OLED display compensates for the rest. But it’s gotta be the OLED version b/c you’ll be missing that lost resolution w/ LED.
Overhyped
Two questions; 1. Why do you talk so fast and don't breathe in between? 2. Your video uploaded in SD 480p so looked total garbage?
Why are we being shouted at?
dunno, steamdeck has worth shape for my hands, i literally cannopt reach the most buttons without additional movements. Hence i've ended up with lenovo go and i love it. amazing device, tons of potential, with its downsides each device has, but honestly im very satisfied
I play games that launched before PS5/Xbox Series on the Steam Deck, along with indie titles. I save those big budget-looking games such as Forbidden West for PS5.
DID YOU SAAYYYY EMULATIONN!!!??
I'm in!
Never regretted buying steam deck, it's just awesome, even better if you have less time on the big screen or travel a lot. I wish sony make new handheld device capable of running my vita,ps4 and ps5 backlog without streaming or internet
