This is a little love letter to my PS4.
I bought it refurbished three years ago for a little bit more than 120 bucks. This was my first Sony device! I already had an Xbox 360 from 2013 and a Switch from 2017.
My first game was Detroit: Become Human. What an experience!
I played the Uncharted series for the first time. Then The Last of Us 1 and 2. I thought I was a grumpy old gamer but man, TLoU is something else.
And then I got PSVR! So many crazy nights playing Beat Saber, Skyrim VR and Superhot VR.
I love being a patient gamer. And I love my PS4. I still have so many games to play through and it just keeps on chugging along.
This is a valid statement… But I don’t want to believe it.
Yeah I was more inclined to the expected revision for the PS5… But I still think if Valve wanna stick with the game they’d approach this with a better handheld (at the moment I just can think of keeping the same performance but making it a bit tinier), by no means I am saying current Steam Deck needs desperately a revision right now, I’m just comparing it with the timing when I would be finally able to get one lol.
I love mine. I have a backlog of games going all the way back to 2005. Plus I emulate anything I want to really.
It’s pretty much the only device I use these days. I dock it and play Counter-Strike all the time too.
I get waiting though. If I didn’t have little ones I would have waited. I don’t get to use my tv any more. :p
lol same reason I got a Steam Deck. Bought the cheapest one, dropped a 1TB SSD in, and been having a blast. I have no regrets.
Steam Input is NUTS. Have you checked out all the stuff you can do with the touchpads yet? I got tired of having to tap shoulder buttons to swap items/weapons so I set up the left touchpad to be a radial menu that sends keyboard commands to switch to specific gear in Dinkum / Stardew Valley. It’s flawless and in 2023 that feels weird to say about any device or UI.
Also gyro aiming is so damn good holy shit.
