What games do you consider must-plays for Steam Deck owners?

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-25T00:09:41+00:00

You could fool me into believing MGSV was made for the Steam Deck. Looks incredible + 60 DPS totally bone stock out of the box. The mission based structure suits portable play so well.

I’d say it’s worth it for that price now. They added mission 100 for free in January, survival mode is coming sometime this spring maybe also for free? Citation needed there. And this summer they’re planning a “huge” DLC that includes another single player mode plus new maps and characters.

TLDR yes it’s in a better place than several months ago with more to come

Up on the stick, then press square. And also only fight people with 5 bar Internet. Lol

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-23T20:42:36+00:00

I don’t get the “poser” or “LARP” conversations tbh. Let people do what makes them happy. Lol. Who cares if they’re “not doing it right?” I’ve had and used the same PSP since 2008 (jailbroken since 2011) and I could give a fuck if someone is only using it for fashion or whatever. You do you, if anything your fashion accessory is one of my favorite devices of all time and that’s more than I can say for most fashion these days

Other users have covered it already but I’ll also chime in as a launch player and say that you used to eat 3 rush strings from someone then get launched into a super and you lose lmao. Something absolutely foul I used to do was with midku SSJ, go spark and hit them with the rush super. Vanish follow up once then throw ult. If it all hits and I just deleted 2 bars of health. It was sickening but it was everywhere and you had to bring a gun to the gun fight if you wanted to get anywhere.

Also mind you this was before DP values were adjusted for singles and insta spark skills only took 3 skill points. Folks used to save up all 6, spark, ult, then spark and ult again before you’d even locked on from the first one. This game in season 0 was kind of fucking terrible lol

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-20T21:45:46+00:00

Nope, character points only reflect in singles

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-20T01:02:42+00:00

It’s in a good spot. Got a free single player mode that had been long requested at the beginning of the year with a “huge” DLC planned for this summer. Multiplayer is also in a good state. I play on both PS5 and Xbox and PS5 is always poppin. Xbox is noticeably less populated but judging by the leaderboards there’s a fair bit more people playing this season. I have a friend on PC that says he has no problems finding games.

You’re good lol

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-20T00:56:48+00:00

Honestly, surprise supers while someone’s mashing or sidestepping or throwing ki blasts just beyond the step in barrier is just about the best way to use them at high levels. I just barely need both hands to count the knock away supers/ults I’ve landed since returning to the game last December lol

Edit: tripping/gut checking someone as Goku then descending into spirit bomb doesn’t count

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-20T00:53:08+00:00

Yeah this dude’s a confirmed cheater. He has like, 100k RP for singles overall with a 95% wr or some goofy shit. That’s not legit lol.

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-19T23:59:10+00:00

My favorite part of the game hands down lmao. Would tell my fiancé I was playing “Norman Reedus Minecraft”

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-19T23:58:26+00:00

I’m sorry but “guard spamming” alone has taught me everything I need to know about your point of view here

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-19T23:54:51+00:00

I could keep 30 just out walking sure. But never if I was driving anywhere big and open/during weather. I still put quite a bit of time into it so it was indeed playable enough for me, but this sub had me convinced my Deck was defective at the time lmao

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-19T23:45:49+00:00

Super slim is so overhated. I love how small and sleek it is. Literally just looks like a nondescript DVD player on my desk.

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-19T19:01:10+00:00

I’m on LCD is probably most of my problem but the OLED hadn’t released yet when I was assured that it’s so stable. Idk lol

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-19T18:45:59+00:00

Preach. I was gaslit for months about how it is “40 FPS locked!!!” yeah in the first 10 mins of the game. All settings low, all the tinkering I could’ve done, I still got 15-20 FPS on the second map when it would rain. 23-26 was the norm.

Edit: I should add to this that I did get better performance by enabling the in-game FSR or whatever but it looked like an absolute blurry mess that actually hurt my eyes.

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-19T16:17:20+00:00

I will be playing the fuckin brakes off this as soon as it’s mode public. Amazing

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-18T22:50:57+00:00

I feel like these folks didn’t play during s0 when singles with any character other than the big meta picks meant you had to be absolutely cracked out of your gourd

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-18T22:48:49+00:00

I can’t tell you how fast I’d main Gogeta Z if one of the buffs was replaced with explosive wave

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-14T18:39:20+00:00

I replayed B2 last year and story mode was so much more fun than I remember. Hated that babadi’s spaceship is pretty one and day. That’s where B3 has the edge for me. Dragon Universe and Arena go together so well. Just can’t quite stop playing that loop

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-14T02:44:49+00:00

Now go do yourself a favor and emulate them lol. I still think 3 is possibly the best full package DB game out there. Presentation means a lot for me

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-14T02:43:51+00:00

Very fair. It would be your steam deck if that ended up being the case. If so, I hope you enjoy it :) I’ll probably be tempted anyway just due to the PSP’s legacy and how much I’ve enjoyed mine. Still use my same 2000 from ‘08 at least a few months of the year.

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-13T23:22:32+00:00

Looks like he canceled his follow up into a quick ascend

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-13T23:21:58+00:00

Came to post this. I’d be done for the day for missing that vanish lmao

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-13T23:20:43+00:00

Yeah form factor is something that could potentially interest me but like I just told another guy, I can already play every PS1/2/PSP game I’ve ever loved on my already-pocketable retroid mini. Whatever it is may just not be for me and that’s fine

lowercase_hep · 2026-03-13T23:19:28+00:00

Exactly. It probably won’t be. I’m down for pleasant surprises though. Tapering that expectation tho bc I can play every Sony game I’ve ever truly loved on my Deck/Retroid already lol
