And I still feel like their definition of playable is a bit narrow. I regularly play “unplayable” games on my steam deck without much issue. You just might need to fiddle about with the controller settings, compatibility modes and use the built in magnifying tool and keyboard once in a while. It’s really not the end of the world.
There really should be another level to it:
Tinker: runs fine with some in-game config or with Steam OS tools like Steam Input
It would exclude any lower level tweaks like changing launch args or using a special Proton version, those can stay unsupported. Basically, if you can get it working well intuitively without looking stuff up online, it should have some level of support.
I’ve played several “unsupported” games that work fine, so something should be done here.
It’s more of a status for publishers and Devs to hit.
But that’s just it. That fiddling isn’t something the dev probably accounted for, so it should be noted that the experience will be less than optimal. I think it still fits.
Are using Decky loader? The ProtonDB badges plugin is great for this!
Battlefront 2 - unsupported officially, but actually plays fine with no tweaking and gets a gold badge on protonDB.
Having the plugin shows the good badge on the games store and installed page
I’m pretty sure people have been playing Tales of Berseria on Steam Decks for 3 years and it still says unsupported. Seems perfect to me
Are 12,000 of them “anime girl fuck fantasy girl love sweet dating woman simulator love sex” game?
SteamDeck verified means it works with all SteamDeck and OS features right? That means the actual playable games is way higher since its just Arch based.
Yes, since most games are simply unrated.
But the “playable” rating does not require full steamdeck support, it just means the game runs. A “verified” rating means a game is a fully seamless experience on the deck.
I thought that was Taylor swift for a second , was like wtf this gotta do with steam
Almost the same amount of unplayed games in my library.
Asking for a friend,
Who in that thumbnail?That’s Stellar Blade. It came out as a PS5 exclusive a year or so ago but has just landed on PC like yesterday I think. It’s a souls-like from a new (to non-mobile games) Korean studio. Evidently the game is very good both as a game and at making people super horny.
I haven’t played it, but I’ve been amused by some of the reviews.
I remember seeing people get miffed about them toning down how horny it was when it launched.
I was almost considering giving it an earnest try in some capacity or another after seeing a decent chunk of people praise it outside of it just being horny, but if it’s a souls like it’s probably not for me
There’s a demo! Also it felt way easier than souls games, lots of Bayonetta/DMC sprinkled in.
If there’s a demo i might give it a try. Usually the issue for me with Souls games is less the difficulty and more so just it’s rare for me to get used to the control scheme. There have been some exceptions though and i’m always down to give a new thing a try. So the demo probably won’t hurt me
Code Vein is another horny Souls-like that is also quite good.
Too many games decide to be either horny or good; I applaud the studies that try to do both.
It also released on pc with mod support… so take a gander at what mods are being made.
Real just need Steam Deck performance and screen size but like 100-200 grams lighter. I’m guessing once AMD starts churning out 3nm UDNA APUs will be the time for PC handhelds to go a lot more mainstream. FSR4 will be a great boon for low powered gaming
Have you ever actually tried one out? I’ve got pretty weak arms and wrists, but I usually play with my arms resting on something. It’s not like I’m holding it out in front of me while playing. Doesn’t feel natural to hold it up like that, but it would be a bit heavy if I tried long term. I even added the cover dbrand sells which added another bit of weight, but my arms are supported so I really don’t care.
I have one. I think it’s too big. It’s fine if I’m playing with my elbows rested on something but anytime my elbows aren’t backed by something, it’s not ideal. And then whenever I travel, with a case it is bulky. I got a Switch 2 and that feels great to carry around regardless of less ergonomic hand grips
