lol technically I was talking about the same God of War that was released for a console i.e. God of War 2018. But since you mentioned Chains of Olympus, worth pointing out that Steam Deck will be the only handheld where you can play all God of War games

"awww yissss", but can it run Crysis 4?

 

[Necrokiller]

So CerebralTiger is already planning to play Crysis 4 on Switch instead of PS5? Yikesss

 

[Necrokiller]

This is kinda unfair. That other handheld, even if it ever gets the same fighting games, doesn't even have a DPAD

 

[Necrokiller]

Someone has spotted a UI update to Half-Life 2 for the Steam Deck that can tested on desktop as well.

 

[Necrokiller]

It also strengthens the case for Steam Deck (for those not interested in a PC), a console that'll be able to run PS and Xbox games w/ no subscription required to play online.

Such console, much customizability

 

[CerebralTiger]

I mean, you don't have to customize it if you don't want to. Nice to have options tho

 

[Necrokiller]

Except that you can't customize to this degree on a console, even if you want to. No oooooptions for you

Holy sh*t, that's a big, big non-pocketable boy

 

[Necrokiller]

Imagine thinking Switch is a comfortable device to hold

Excellent size for a handheld that gives you the best control methods

 

[CerebralTiger]

Ah yes, let the handheld expert share his insight on handheld gaming devices

This behemoth has a bigger footprint than a lot of tablets

 

[Necrokiller]

I'm not looking for that sort of convenience. Most of my time spent on the Switch is in docked mode

Yeah, but I carry it over to other places to play in docked mode.

Ah yes, let's listen to the pocket expert who uses Switch in docked mode

What's the next terrible take on your agenda CerebralTiger? Laptops aren't portable because you can't fit them in your pocket?

 

[CerebralTiger]

This behemoth doesn't even come with a dock. Good thing for Necrokiller that he already has a spare one lying around for whatever reason

Gaming laptops are pretty bulky and a chore to carry around, even in a bag

 

[Necrokiller]

Why does it have to come with a dock when it is supposed to be a handheld device? Does the Switch Lite come with a dock? Whats with these daft takes?

Not sure how old CerebralTiger's bulky gaming laptop is but even my non gaming laptop came with a usb-C adapter

 

[CerebralTiger]

Post meri quote ki jis mein dock mentioned hai as a preference, then calling it daft when I point out there's no dock with the Deck. That's an approach

The lack of modularity really hurts this behemoth of a device. No way to detach the left and right controllers means you can't:

- use it as a table-top device (without carrying an extra controller)
- use 3rd party options (it's good to have options)
- replace faulty buttons/sticks without opening up the thing (the Steam controller's build quality is quite reassuring /s)

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I Can't even...

 

[CerebralTiger]

Jab stick drift hoga then you can and you will

 

[Necrokiller]

I had no idea CerebralTiger hated the Switch Lite so much

 

[Necrokiller]

We can also conclude, based on CerebralTiger's logic, that lack of CPU/GPU/RAM upgradeability really hurts the behemoth of PS5/XSX consoles
