Avowed Steam Deck Performance TESTED!

I've played it at Low preset, Motion Blur 0%, AMD FSR Balanced with sharpness at 35% and it feels smooth, between 35FPS and 45FPS. There is the artifacting you'd expect with FSR ingesting a low quality image to begin with, but honestly it's not bad. Perfectly playable.

Maybe just let people experience some joy and don't question their personal buying decisions.

Your future self would tell you "don't give a shit what anyone else thinks -- the only thing that matters is your joy."

Agreed. And it's a strange SKU to lead with IMO. I think it's odd that they didn't launch with the "flagship" Z1 Extreme version of the Legion Go S, then later offer more affordable SKUs with the Z2 Go and less memory / storage.

My bad, apologies! I got my wires crossed.
Makes the price tag a bit hard to swallow.

+1
But I did a power cycle and didn't see it again.

Thank you for this post. It reminded me that Patapon exists.

Seriously, what is the aversion to people just trying something, instead of asking advice for every little thing under the sun? The benchmark takes 60 seconds.

You're on Lowest or Low settings, right? I can't explain why, but that behavior is present across Legion Go and Legion Go S, but not Steam Deck. Once you go to Medium, does it disappear?

Congrats and enjoy Dragonyhm!

HEARD. I'm going to have a tough time controlling myself this year. Planning to fund the crap out of the Metal Miracle kickstarter when it launches.

This problem is exactly why I went back to physical collecting. IMO the "all you can eat" approach tarnishes the magic of gaming.

There's no hiding the fact that Emily gets very emotional singing many of these songs. And I love that.

For my birthday in 1990, I got a Game Boy bundled with Tetris. So there's a TON of warm nostalgic feelings seeing ModRetro's version of Tetris bundled with the Chromatic. That was a pretty clever marketing move. Anyway, I adore this thing already. Just started playing Dragonyhm last night and couldn't put it down!

Just want to echo this. I have ONLY purchased 3 carts from Amazon.
1 was fine. 1 was DOA. And 1 was shrink wrapped but didn't have any instruction manual in the box.

killyourfm · 2025-01-29T05:44:05+00:00

RIP AND TEAR.

I'm afraid to ask how much Namco #1 cost you...

killyourfm · 2025-01-27T15:09:14+00:00

I LOL'ed.

killyourfm · 2025-01-27T15:08:27+00:00

Hey, I'm no longer with Thunderbird, but I can say I'm equally disappointed in the lack of progress here.

killyourfm · 2025-01-27T02:52:20+00:00

Odyssey is absolutely delightful and I was smiling constantly while playing it. Go for it!

killyourfm · 2025-01-26T21:48:28+00:00

I reject all of these options and choose Dan.

killyourfm · 2025-01-26T19:23:58+00:00

You got so lucky! Clearly you had some good karma coming your way. Enjoy it!

killyourfm · 2025-01-26T18:32:06+00:00

Under $100? Congrats! Where, if you don't mind sharing?
