Reply to comment by InvalidEntrance in Steam Deck Is Reaching Its Limits in Games Like Plague Tale: Requiem by ardi62

It’s because they act like the Steam Deck is a console and should play every game, it’s not. It’s a low powered portable pc and thus has limits and not going to be compatible with every game.

I mean, if it is a console, it's competing with the Switch. Not the Series X.

That's the part they're missing

I’d say it’s closer to the PS4/Xbone than a Switch. You can play Elden Ring on the Deck.

It's my favorite monster hunter machine. Can run rise out of the box, flawlessly, can run world with some tweaking of settings, can run older games via emulation, can run dragon's dogma, out of the box, and allows for all these damned games to be played, modded.

Yeah, I use mine with the mental expectation that it’s effectively the power equivalent of a portable PS4, and it’s phenomenal for that.

I can use mine as a console to my 70 4K tv and play Metro Exodus and it looks great. Or I can take it to work and use it as a handheld or connect to my second monitor. I can also use keyboard and mouse.

no they dont. atoms have embarrassingly low single core performance, gaming is really not their main thing.
