and the bucks do seem high. I don't know what the game considers

civilizations
leaders
wonders

but if those things are actual content in the game, that would mean you'd need to spend $130 to get all the content at launch. DAMN.

It must not be easy to make a game as incredibly complex as this work really well on the Deck, with controller controls and a small screen. Kudos for them for getting this ready for launch.

@Shmerl - It would be interesting to see what AMD are going to do as a next step for 7900 XTX

I think at this point it's all but understood they are going to do absolutely nothing as a next step from that card. The new 9xxx cards are supposed to be equal to that, or in some cases, lower performing. They've given up on the high end completely. So maybe maybe maybe the 10xxx midrange cards will beat the 7xxx high end. Who knows.

It's also getting harder and harder to compare these cards now because of all this garbage bullshit upscaling and frame generation. I want ZERO FAKE FRAMES AND ZERO FAKE RESOLUTIONS GOD DAMNIT. I want a direct comparison of native 1440p no fake upscale no fake frame gen.

omg I want that keyboard version SO BAD. It's a perfect couch device. But as others have said, I swore off kickstarters long ago, so no chance there. I'll wait for a production version with the actual board included lol.

Something seems weird about this device, I just can't shake it. Like they don't even update the website when they release a presser, all the renders look SUPER fakey ... I just don't know.

I know its not liams fault, but I REALLY miss the quote notifications. I feel like that's the biggest loss outside of the forums... anyway. Not related to this topic, but nowhere else to post it now lol.

holy crap, I actually DID think that was a fingerprint sensor to lock unlock. Wow.

What is this? A touchpad for ants?

THAT DPAD THOUGH.

Seriously, this alone would make me reconsider ever buying this.

Other than that I'm glad it exists to bring more competition to the space, and everything else about it looks fine (the whole sticks in the wrong place thing never really bothered me) provided you can turn off the leds. I hope its successful and more of theses mobile handsets start moving to this and off of windows 11.

Ouch a 5080 for 1k. damn.

I might have to side with you guys on the high end vs aaa releases. In the past year I've tried:

- Dragons Dogma 2 - won't run at all. Continuously crashes the entire gpu and then the system into a hard lock. tons of similar posts on protondb.

- Dragon Age Veilguard - aimed squarely at 8 and 9 year olds. Too dumbed down for me to enjoy.

- Starfield - had a blast, was really fun.

- Horizon Forbidden West - huge letdown, did not enjoy whatsoever. Ran phenomenally well technically, the game was just designed horribly.

- Metaphor - currently playing, seems okay I guess. Hasn't yet clicked but I'll give it more time.

And then I haven't even tried Stalker 2 even though I REALLY want to because it's so broken.

I guess my tastes are changing, so only really one single aaa release I enjoyed. The rest were indie games like Caves of Qud, Songs of Silence, Dread Delusion, stuff like that.
