Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs
paper_moon@lemmy.world 1 day agoThis is the allure for me as well. The trackpads make it so I can play any style game I want on the handheld, which is amazing. I’m playing emulated console games, modern steam games and games from the 90’s early 2000’s that were designed with mouse and keyboard in mind. I wouldn’t want a faster device without the trackpads, as it would cut down on a lot od games i’d like to play.
There’s no way you’re gonna be able to play Age of Empires, or similar games with joysticks, thats for sure.

The Steam Deck is the best device for old games and old game emulation. If you want to play newer games it’s woefully underpowered. Something like RDR2 or like The Witcher 3 are vastly superior on a Lenovo Legion Go. More powerful and with a much bigger display. I’ve had both devices and they both do different things well.
Detachable controllers and two USB-C ports are really nice on the Legion as well.
