[Discussion] AAA Games: Worth it on Steam Deck?
[Discussion] AAA Games: Worth it on Steam Deck?
A triple-A game I've been eyeing is finally down to a reasonable price on a third party website.
But after seeing how much better Diablo IV performs on my friend's Xbox, I am really disappointed in myself for buying the PC version to play on my Steam Deck. I play mostly docked and connected to a TV, so the visual experience is something I value.
Diablo IV isn't the first game I've regret purchasing on PC instead of Xbox. For older games, the Steam Deck is great; but it seems like modern games I really need to be wary of. You know what they say, fool me once, strike one, fool me twice... strike... three.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, wishing they'd spent the money on another platform? Is there a rule of thumb you follow on what to purchase, where?
Would it be okay to list the specific games I'm wondering about for input? I love my Steam Deck; but I'd rather not feel platform envy again.

I run everything at 720 so I can go seamlessly from docked to handheld, and quite frankly, this little magic Gaben rectangle has no business performing as well as it does.
If you're trying to run games at 4k, then yeah, it's not gonna be as good. Temper your expectations
