Of course everyone will have their own opinions in this thread but I did not own a tallboy nor did I, or ever will I have the money to throw away like that on a top desktop pc. That being said, when the deck got announced, I pre-ordered it that day with the intention of it being my first and only gaming pc. Main points that sold me were; the bigger roster of games on offer on pc given I had fell out of love with gaming due to the lack of good games across the platforms I already owned. The whole idea of it being a handheld and docked medium meant I can get comfy with games regardless of time and place while in the home. Lastly the community support specifically showcasing how good emulation was on the deck during the time I waited for my deck to be in stock. Since getting it I have played AAA, platformers, puzzle, point and click, FPS and emulated countless of older gen consoles and I am yet to find anything about this to moan about. Quite simply it is the dogs bollocks and everybody WILL find it’s uses to them regardless of how sceptical they are. Pull the trigger and enjoy it

I have the LCD, had it since launch and it’s definitely the back light, I’m used to seeing the back light and then off sequence when I connect to a dock you see and I always make it sure it’s off before putting it back in the case out of fear it cooks in the case from poor ventilation after a few posts I’ve seen of that exact thing. I notice it a mile off. If I press power button while in this state it does then turn the light off but then that makes me wonder if that’s just suspends it and it’s still draining battery

I have to ask, first time booting red dead after the update last night… what do you have your scaling settings set to as I now have to change my ingame resolution to the one below 1280x720 even though fsr was always on before this point even at that resolution. Unless I change the scaling mode to FIT which cuts the screen off slightly

I appreciate the replies friends, I’ll stop monitoring it then until I see a decline in playtime which I haven’t so far

Open world games but the type that are praised for just how big they are when it takes 5 hours to progress the slightest little thing and achieve nothing. I play games for enjoyment and making maps ridiculously large with nothing in them shouldn’t automatically warrant praise, especially those that consist of really repetitive gameplay for the little gameplay it has. Legend of zelda is one of my favoured video game titles but the last 2 were simply unplayable for me. I’d hate to think they’re bad games as clearly they have their place in someone elses opinion and to be honest I avoided the second one knowing it followed the same style as Breath of the Wild. BofW just offered nothing to me and no matter how much I tried to get into it even 20 odd hours in it was too much of a chore feeling to continue. And that game made me realise it wasn’t the only one later down the line, open world shouldn’t mean plain
